Railroad Meeting. There will be a Public Meriting at Starr Hall on SATURDAY NEXT, at 3 o'clock, I.

Every mr.n in town, and every fanner witLin tea miles of Iticliiiroud, are requested to Le present. Able speakers vill bo present : and address the meeting.

We ought to Lave at least four thousand subscribers in Old Wayne, and we baheve that that number caa bo raised, if oar friends will do their duty ; by us. We respectfully ask them to use their j influence in behalf of the Palladium. The money can be sent by mail, at our risk. HOLLOWAY L- CO. ; People's Convention. Recollect, that the State Convention will meet at Indianapolis on the first of May, and we trust every Republican in tha County of Wayne, will make it hi:) special obj-K t to arrange Lis business in such manner that he can devote that day to Lis political duty, by going up to the Ctpital. Oid Wayne has taken a position en the question of the non-ext-tisioti of slavery in our territories, in advaace of most of Lor sister counties the Las nominated Ler candidates and adopted tha platform, which she is determined tc stand on and abide Ly: making that issue paramount to alt others in the fight for the Presidency; and in the State canvats, in aluiii-'U thereto, the pas -age ;f a Prohibitory Law in regard to the u.; of liquors as a beverego, and the amendment of the State Constitution in i t-gaid lo prohibiting the exerch-o cf tho right of suffrage by aliens until they Lave becc ma citiz'm of th" United . Slates. It therefore, as v. e Lave said, heroines necessary for every HepuLi can ia the County to g , who can possibly Littvo home aad his avocation, to tha Peoplt's Convention, and aid in cetucatiag that union of sentiment of freedom, which pulsates a:id auimates the heart of every opponent of this slavery -extension administration. Wiiheut union and concert of action, on the part of those who agree touching this nll-imporiaiit matter, the People's Republican Party will be hopelessly defeated both in their State and National elections; on the other hand, if a union is effected and all agree to come together on the single issue, so ' plainly marked out by the support ol Aiken i South Carolina, by a'l tha "odds and ends" ; of the South and Northern dough-faces ! Democrats, Whigs, and South Americans ictory is mire aad certain. Surely, the question of freedom to our territories, is sufficiently cohesive, to unite and blend together every ;'rei nan in thi North; !f Slavery extension is lorcx suflkiont io mako so complete "fuion' in the South, and so efficacious in the North that even dough is made fst to it? Ia the State contest, we have three planks to t Union all good, solid and firm and all -.iVfhciently capacious to hold every true friend v" - country: Non-L'xteusiou of Slavery, ol tt.,e,,dcats all tha free soil of the United Prfitkihitorv Law. which -,Vves w ,L lihtroy most cf the evils re- j fro - - Ctons'itution, which gives to j aliens the right of suffrage, ia violation of the j Constitution of the United, Spates and the naturalization lws cf Congress Aher the Stata Sght is finished; we are then prepaied 1 to go into the National Battle on tie single question as presented by the South: Shall Slavery be made National and Freedom sretional? Every light thinking man in the North, will, wo are sure, use his u'.mos; exertions to reverse that question, and by his vote will say that Freedom is National, and that the duty cf our Government should be to extend its blessinjs; and that Slavery is teriional. and it is equally its bounden duty to restrict the black curse and confine it to its present limits. We, of the free North, do tot and will : not interfere with its existence in the Southern : Sutes; but are determined to use all constitutional means to stay its further des-olating steps 4his is a right and a duty whioh we intend to exercise to its fullest extent and meaning. But we have extended this article to a greater length than we intended. W only : designed to urge the People to go up to Indi- j anspolis to the Convention iu such numbers that will demonstrate that their "faith" in their ; declarations are not all "sound and fury;" but; ready signify their earnestness in the work j marked out by their County action. f tW The preyr of La cabs ani the curses : of Morrison, do not improve the Sentinel a whit ! Is alluding to the action of the Wayne 1 County convention, the Sentinel says: It "ruled out the subject of temperance as a! 'aide issue. and excludsd it from the plat-1 form." What a whopper! We invite the' jr ry-erful and "cussed" attention of the edi-; tors of that paper, to the fallowing resolution adopted by that Convection: We bold that our Legislature i clearly authorised by the State Constitution to enact . a law prohibiting the manufacture and sale aft intoxicating liquora as a beverage, and that ! euch power should be exercised by tha pas-j aage of an efficient prohibitory law."
