Republican C3tab Meeting. Tho .Republicans of Crawfordsville and vicinity vri 11 meet at Hurley & Naylor's law office, on Monday evening next, at 7 o'clock, for the purpose of organizing a Young Men's Republican Club. Let us have a Iarre attendance.
Tlie Slave Party.
The Republicans have long and honestly chargcd thcDemocralic, now Disunion party, that slavery was the corner stone of their organization and the mainspring of all their actions. Since the meeting of the present Congress, the members of that party commenced the discussion of slavery have discuss
principle, and their ablest Senators have declared they would sooner tear away the pillars of the Capitol, dissolve the Union than submit to the restriction of Slavery to its present limits. Southern rights, are all summed lip in the right to hold slaves and carry them where they please! The}' speak of no other right, demand no other right, and seem to regard the Constitution as conferring no other right.— Slavery, with them, is higher, older, and more sacred. than the Constitution: it is above all Constitutions, State or National: it is higher, older and more sacred than the Bible itself. It is TIIE higher law for the disunion. Southern Democracy! We appeal to the candor of those who call themselves Northern Democrats, and ask if the charge against that party is not substantially, literally true? Is not slavery their platform, the right to slavery their mainspring to action, and the right to carry their slaves any and everywhere the object they aim to accomplish? "YV challenge a contradif tion "W appeal to the records of the countrv and the debates of the present Congress for the proof of our charge. Mere verbal denial will not, cannot be regarded.— The history of our country must give the response? These disunion Democrats of the South seek to hold the northern Democracy slaves to their political power as they hold negros slaves to their persons. Will they submit? How is it v,"it'u the Review?

The House was fully organized on Monday last. Oth inst., by the election of Geo. Marslon, of New Hampshire, for Doorkeeper and Joshua M.

It will appear on our first page next \ve:k. From his letter, the Doctor appears to be enjoying his confinement in the country hugely taking his affliction into consideration.

appointed Barne}' Ilaycs as his chief Clerk, in place of Carter. The news from Washington under date of Saturday last, says a number of Democrats qnonces of the repeal of the Missouri who were there from Kansas have con- Compromise, and that the self-styled ferrcd with the Southern Democrats Democratic party-are politically respon- ,, sible for these consequences. Congress, and. propose to advocate the!
admission into the Union with the andouc Constitution, changing the Government. and that we will1 use all boundaries so as to include Pike's Peak lawful and proper means, at the next
and a portion of Nebraska south of the Platte river—the change to be submit!and ted to a vote of the people of Kansas, and when ratified to be admitted as a State by the President's proclamation.
Hon. Marcus J. Parrolt, Gen. Pomery, Judge Arney and other Republicans are there from Kansas to insist on her admission under the Wyandotte Constitution without alteration, that Constitution being already ratified by two thirds of the citzens of the Terirtory.
It is proposed by the Democratic Senators to resist the orgaaization of any new Territories. They want to attach Dacotah and the the region about Nebraska, while Utah and the Territo-
ries south of Kansas are to be annexed by all lawful means and inscribe upon t-o New Mexico, and follow its fortunes. To this it is objected that, having secured slavery in New Mexico by law. thi immense Territory should not be brought under the same enactment, which might secure it to slavery forever.

our banners the words of the departed Statesman, Daniel Webster: '-Union and liberty, now, and forever, one and inseperable."'
Resolved, That we place the broad seal of condemnation upon the insurrectionary conduct of the late John Brown, and his associates at Harper's Ferry.
During the absence of the other committee, Hon. II. S. Lane was loudly called on for a speech. The Col. took the stand, and for some length of time held the listening audience charmed by tho power of his eloquence. lie stated in the commencement that he did not wish to inflict a speech on the Convention, but that he felt perfectly at home when making a stump speech here, because it was here that he commenced his career in political life?' He perfectly demolished the two arch usurpers Bright and Fitch, and in fact tho whole Old Line party of the State of Indiana. After speaking some time on the local affairs of the State lie turned his attention to National matters. In withering terms he denounced that most stupendous fraud,that greatest monster of all villainies the Fugitive Slave Law. He then spoke of the repeal of tho Missouri Compromise, in his usual manner, stating that its repeal was the cause of all tho strife and .agitation on the sla-

Resolved. That this sacred right extends to the free and independent discussion of all moral, religious and political subjects and that this right should be respected and held sacred, in all the States of the Union.
Resolved, That all attempts to abridge or prohibit the free and independent, exercise of this right by mobs, or legislative enactment, is contrary to the Divine law, and the Constitution of the United States. •Resolved, That real Democrats, nor true Kepublicansc-an consistently sanction the abridgement or the prohibition of the exercise of this right.
Resolved, In the language of the distinguished Jefferson and sage of Monticello, "that error in opinion may be safely tolerated, while reason is left free to combat it."
