MEETING OF THKJ REPUBLICAN AssoCIA-
TIoN.-Pursuant to call, the Republican Asso-
citation met last night at the Union League
Rooms.
Remembering the tight squeeze at the big
meetings in the old Wigwan, we, little be-
lated, fastened up the steps last night with
considerable trepidatlon, lest we should be
compelled to take O standee seat. But we
found plenty OF room; and the meeting, not yet
organized, was fully accommodated upon the
end of q bench. -.~
Presently, Mr.. Lewis Clephane came in, and
other arrivals swelled the number to twenty
one, including the reporters of the Star and
Chr0ntct and gentleman who entered by
mistake, thinking another association met in
the room,) and who afterwards withdrew, and
whose squeaky boots were presently heard
mounting to an upper room to the extent OF
torty-two steps.
1t was very evident that the great body of the
Republican Association had for some reason
determined to let the meeting alone severely.
The meeting was called to order by the Pres
ident Mr.. J. J. Coombs, and Mr.. Lewis Gle
plane the Secretary OF the Association pro.
eeeded 10 read the minutes of the last meeting
and they were approved.
MIR. Coombs expressed regret that there was
SO small number present; but ne thought this
was the result Of Representations made through
the papers. It was reported in New York
paper that at the last meeting Of the Associa.
ton motion to instruct the delegates for Mr..
Lincoln was voted down by large majority.
This was not SO. He knew there had been an
endeavor to create such an impression, but the
first meeting had no intention OF expressing any
preference for or against Mr.. Lincoln or any
other man, as that meeting was called solely
to fix time for the meeting to elect a delegate
to the nominating convention. That was the
object, for It would not have been discreet or
proper for meeting Of that kinda mere hand
ful-to dictate preference Ea6a
The speaker said he knew that the friends OF
self, shonshf that The resolution naming MI.
Lincoln had better be modified, as u was

Expelling Congressman

In the debates in Coogress on the 9th
inst, Mr.. Harris, of Mary said he was in
favor Of recognizing the Southern Confeder
acy; whereupon, a resolution was offered eX-
peling him from the House. The vote stood,
ayes 81, noes SO; a twothird vote being
required he was not expelled Upon this
the Sacramento Union says that "tliy-threr
Representatives oppose the expulsion from the
National councils of men who declare thel
adherence to the cause of the enemy. Tins
is Democracy reduced to its essence.
Without stopping to inquire whether it is
expedient at this particular juncture to ac'
knowledge the Southern Confederacy, let US
look at this motion to expel. During the
Mexican war Mr.. Corwin was member of
Congress from Ohio, and he openly expressed
bis sympathy, in Congress, with the enemy
against whom we were fighting, and hoped
that our soldiers might be welcomed with
bloody hands to hosptable graves. Who
thought of expelling him then for thata-
Abraham Lincoln was also a member of Con
gress at that time and he too expressed his
sympathies with the 'enemies of our flag,
and he voted to stop supplies to our soldiers
in Mexico. Should he have been expelled?
During our Revolution of l776, Mr.. Pitt
expressed bis sympathy with the revolution
lists and said he was in favor of recognizing
the independence of the colonies Even in
the corrupt times of George III, there was
found no Englisbman SO bold as to under
take so far to gag public opinion or muzzle
free discussion as to move that Mr.. Pitt be
expelled from the British Parliament. If
Mr. Harris could bring up arguments to
prove that the Confederacy should be reeogl
nized he should be heard; and if he had no
argument that would convince any one, then
his voice would have been as harmless as was
Lincon's in favor of starving the soldiers in
Mexico. If man believes it would be to
our interest to recognize the Confederacy
and thinks he can convince us that such is
the case, we have no objection to urge
against listening to him; or if an Abolition
ist thinks it best to overthrow our entire sys,
TEN Of government and establish military
despotism, laying its foundation upon
standing army of negroes, we are willing to
hear him. When this war shall have gone
on until everybody are sick and tired of it,
will it be treason to say so? Who is to fix
time when it will not be treason to say we
want to compromise? A man whose deeds
are evil is afraid Of the light. The deeds of
the Republican party are all evil, therefore
they shun discussion. If Mr.. Harris plans
are not correct, what harm can he do! If
they are correct, should he not be heard?
The Union is rght-it is the essence of De
mocracy to encourage free discussion on all
subjects. They believe in the Intelligence
of the people and are not afraid to trust
their judgment in any matter. however inn

The Negro Colonization Scheme.

Washington correspondence, dated 2lst
March, of the New York Herald says:
Messrs. Tuckerman and Forbes, with whom
the contract was made for deporing freed
men to the Isle Of Avache, the majority OF
whom have just been brought back by the
United States Government, claim $4,000;
but this amount has not been paid, and is
withheld on the ground that the contract
has not been fulfilled. The fund set apart
for colonization purposes is 100000, of
which $35 900 have been expended. The
scheme having proved a failure Congress
will undoubtedly repeal the law making the
appropriation.
The sum drawn by Senator Pomeroy has
all been strictly accounted for, and the par
ticulars of his transactions have been filed
in the proper department. This gentleman
volunteered to fit out an expedition to Chir
qui, which was defea: ed by the protest of the
New Grenadlan government. The Secretary
of the Interior in a recent official communi.
cation says: but little disposition, SO far
as the department is informed has yet been
manifested by the freedmen of the United
States to leave the land of their nativity.
doubt if it be any just cause Of regret
Time and experience, which bave already
taught US so much wisdom, and produced so
many consequent changes will in the end
solve this question for u.s."
1t seems that the contract for transporting
the freedmen to Hayti was taken by Messrs.
Forbes and Tuckerman of New York, who
agreed to take the entire management of the
affair and obtain the consent of the Haylien
government to their location on the Island
of Avache. This consent was not obtained
as expected; but upon the representation OF
the contractors that there would be no diff
Guilty upon this point, and that they were be.
ing subject to great loss and trouble by the
detention of the coonists at Annapolis, they
were finally allowed to depart. Forbes and
Tuckerman employed as superintendent of
the enterprise a German named Koch whom
the government had refused to employ in
any capacity. He neglected to provide pro-
perly for their comfort either upon the voy-
age out or to make the necessary arrange
ments for their reception and settlement afI
ter their arrival. Consequently they expe-
rienced great hardship and suffering and
some so or 60 of them died, and the rest
have been brought back and for the present
will have to be provided for by the govern
ment.
Prominent among the parties interested in
the recently exploded colonization scheme
are understood to be Leonard w. jerome
and Henry J. Raymond Of New York. The
negro colonsts who arrived here yesterday
from the West Indies will disembark to
morrow, and join the hourshing colony al

How Tccumseh was Killed.

The Western Christian Ad0ocate of this
week contains an obituary notice of Isaac
Hambin. ST., who died at his residence near
Bloomfield, Ind, few months since, aged
about eighty six years. Mr. Hamblin was a
man of deep piety and unquestlonable ver-
acty. lie was in the battle of the Thames
and the writer gives the following as his
statement in regard to the manner in which
Tecumseh was killed:
He says he was standing but a few feet
from Colonel johnson when be fell. and in
full view, and saw the whole of that part of
the battle. He was well acquainted with
Tecumseb, having seen him before the war,
and having been a prisoner seventeen days,
and received many cursng from him.
He thinks that Tecumseh thought that
johnson was Harrison, as he often heard the
chiet swear that he would have Harrison s
scalp, and seemed to have a special hatred
toward him Johnson's horse fell under
him, himself also being deeply wounded in
the fall he lost his sword, his large pistols
were empty, and he was entangled with his
horse on the ground. Tecumseh had fired
his rifle at him, and when he saw him fall
he threw down his gun and bounded forward
like tiger, sure Of his prey. johnson had
only a side pistol ready for use. He aimed
at the chief over the head of the horse, and
shot near the centre of his forehead. When
the ball struck, it seemed to him that the
Indian jumped with bis head fifteen feet into
the air. As soon as he struck the ground a
little Frenchman ran his bayonet into him
and pinned him fast to the ground.

The Indiana Free Press, a radical Repub-
lcan German paper, lays the whip over Old
Abe shoulders after this fashion:
''Lncoln's Administration has undermined
the basis of our republican institutions aud
accust omed the people to the ideas of des-
potica government, by violating their rights
and liberties under circumstances that formed
no adequate pretext. We do soemnly con
denim the arbitrary arrest of citizens of States
not in insurrection or under martial law, and
its infringing upon the rights of free speech
and free press"

MILD IND1crMENr.-The Albany On. Y. }
Statesman, most ultra and bitter radical
Republican paper, finds some fault with the
administration of its party at Washington.
This fault it expresses in the following ener'
getic terms:
A pack Of sharks, hungry, vilIanous and
ipcorrigible, have fastened upon the public
Treasury and depleted it at the rate of mill
lions monthly. The patronage of the Fed
eral Government has been bestowed upon
those with whom the electors, if allowed an
exercise of choice, would have absolutely
refused all dealings, until high places of trust
are held by known and convicted cormorants,
and men drive fast horses and live in free
stone houses purchased with United States
money Who ought to be peggug shoes in the
State prisons.
