We are enabled to Announce that Sulomon Mertdith U elected Clerk of old Wayr.e, by a handsome majority, not far from 608. The distant reader nay suppose that this is a small majority for this btront; hold of Republicanism-. They should remember that this was no ordinary contest. It was a contest between the respective candidates. In opposition to . r. Meredith, was the active eiertious of W. W. Lyode, Henry Eeitzell, and Henry Garrett, all three of whom were candidates for the nomination of the Republican party. They were prominent members of the Krpoblican party two of them had held lnoratiM f,ffi-Pa in the coontrv. and were brbly popular men- ' All of their influence was used for the success of Mr. Bchlater, and hence the Rennhiirans have iost eaoee of congratulation for thfcir ucca W have only room to say that the majority is believed to be 508.

The election of Mr. Brown, alter j the dishonorable course pursued against him by the low and contemptible tools of the democracy, is a great and glorious triumph, not only politically, but as a proud defense of a high minded and honorable man.

Incomplete reports from about thirty counties indicate a gain for the Re publicans of about 6000 votes, and the prob- J ability of a republican majority in both branches of the legislature. j , m m ,, i We have received a communication! commenting in severe terms on the course of tbe friends of Mr. Sch later in the late election.

SPEECH OF HON. H. S. LANE, AT Biehafaoael, Wajrne Cm., Ind. The RejmllUan Platform The Bead Sea Fruit T7te ffilisiering Slander The Sick Wife' Mother" An Eloquent Appeal. Special report for tbe Cincinnati Gazette.

A spirited meeting of the Republicans of Wayne county, Ind., was held at Richmond last week. The speakers of the occasion were the Hons. Thomas Corwm, Robert C Schenck and Henry S. Lane. Messrs. Corwin and Schenck delivered Able discourses, expressing the views which, in the hearing of the people of Ohio, they have uttered during the present campaign. There was a freshness of language about the speeches, however, that relieved them from the imputation as being the same as heretofore delivered. Mr. Lane closed the proceedings by the delivery of remarks of which we present a complete report, excepting only where at the close, the speaker referred to the local pou tics of his hearers. Henry S. Lane being introduced, was re ceived with gratifying applause. He said: Fellow Citizens: Through the kindness and partiality of a portion of my friends in Wayne county, I am permitted the privilege of addressing you upon those grand principles and momentous issues which underlie the very foundation of Republican organization. J am not here in the vain hope of adding inter est to the meeting after the two speeches to which you have listened with such patience but I am here simply for the purpose of stir ring up your pure minds by way of remem brance. For the first time I am permitted to look the people of Wayne County in the face, eye to eye, and I doubt not we shall find each other mutually good looking and mutually amiable. (Laughter.) The great and overwhelming question of Slavery has been debated elaborately, ably, and eloquently already, and doubtless even 8ie sex are somew, a at.gued with thelong discussion, to say noth those of " the sterner sex" are somewhat ing ot "the divine who have honored us on tnjs occasion those who have straggled "from somewhere out of the world of bliss to mke a paradise of this." I may, however, with confidence, I trust, make my a; peal in defence of the dignity of human labor and free institutions, with the hope of success before such an audiense as I this day address. THE SUBJECT OF SLAVERY. I shall allude but briefly to the historical connection of the two great parlies in this country with the exciting subject of Slavery; for, gentlemen, disguise the tact as we may. thi 3 tbe overshadowing question now a:5i fating the public miud. liut a few years ago. it was but as the cloud seen in the prophet's vision, "no larger tnan a man s iiand, but it has loomed up until now it has darkened the whole political heavens, excluding almost every star of hope. VV hat, then is tbe present position of the Republican party upon this subject? The much abus5d Philadelphia platform; what was it? JJid that platform introduce strange was it? Did that platform introduce strange godi or build new alUrs? NOf slr Tbe grand principle of the Philadelphia platform comes to us in the unclounded light of the ,avi.l oli.tn rtP lToavan an.- lui.il.iTit u'ltti tlia. Declaration of Independence. That platform, as modified (and necessarily modified by the changing policy of the country for the last four years,) is yet the platform on which the country mutt stand. Even a radical de mocracy shall be brought to look to it as to "the hills hence our salvation comefh." What then is our position with reference the Slavery question? Historically now but for a few moments. You have heard what was the policy of the fathers ; how they excluded Slavery in 17S7; how that act of exclusion had a common and kindred or igin of the Declaration of Independence, and was an idea first broached in the Continental Congress by Thomas Jefferson himself. That Ordinance was devoted to freedom in this vast empire north-west of the Ohio river, producing here States the progress of which you see in these beautiful homesteads, in your ever smiling villages, these flourishing towns and cities. They under a kind Providence are the result of this Ordinanceof 1787,which fertilized and fattened the soil on which we 6tand by the sweat drawn from the brows of f reemen, where every man was interested in the result of his own labor. CHANGE IS POLICT. No change was made in that policy until 1820, when a temporary arrangement as the South say a permanent arrangement as our fathers then believed, as we now believe, was made the Missouri Compromise. There was he first departure from the pinciple of the exclusion of Slavery from the Territories. For the purposesof peace our fathers yielded some hat upon this occasion, but excluded forever slavery north of a certain line 36 desr. and 30 min. north latitude of which f ou an aououess nave neara. ortb of that ine. Slavery or involuntary servitude was to be forever excluded. South of that line it might or might not exist, as the people should will. The Douglas Popular Soveignty doctrine was to be adopted south of the line 36 30. The compromise brought peace to the country, harmony to our distracted institutions, aud dissipated the clouds of disunion which bad been lowering over our nation. Under the patriotic counsels of Clay, Crawford, and I. I , , . . . Lowndes, and other distinguished men of that day, that compromise in good faith was entered into. It wore on for thirty years. The people of tbe South received ell that they were entitled tbe admission of Missouri and Arkansas and when a Territory was to be organized north of that line where we claimed tbe first heritage that should fall to freedom, that measure was repealed. The reason given was that it conflicted with the Compromise measures of 1S50. ily friend Mr. Schenck commenced on that subject and had not time to close. Let us look to it for a moment. j Gentlemen now tell ns it was necessary to repeal that compromise in ISM, because of connict. j?ir, so iarirom connu-t, lei me show, you that the compromise of 1850 expres.lv recognized the compromise of 1820. Ld rl affirmed its vitality. You have been told properly that the bill to fix the boundaries of Texas was one of the compromise measure, j You recollect that bill by which we. lor. the sake of peace, gave tea millions ol dollars to Texas for a poor strip of country, to I which Texas had no more rizht than had the T -.tL- -.i-". .. i n t. o. tue powers oi ine atr to tbe beautiful cides which he exposed to the SaTior's . - Tision from the pinnacle of the temple, let .u.t,uigim.i!1,l nsion from the pinnacle of the temple.

compromises of 1S50 said to be in confl;c: with the compromise of 1820. A strange conflict that which expressly recognizes and reaffirms the very thing itself. Then came the action of the Democratic Convention at Baltimore in 1S52. The party there resolved against the further agitation of Slavery in Congress or out of Con

gress. 1 he W nig party, not to re oaiaone in subserviency to the South, passed precisely the same resolutions on that subject ; and all agitation on the subject of Slavery was to De discountenanced in and out of Congress WEBSTER OJf THE SCBJECT. Well, we went along until It-54, when Douglas suddenly makes his discovery of j Popular Sovereignty, which, get.tlemen, is a: popular fallacy, having no existence in the Uonstituuou, or in the practice 01 me vjovernmeut, or in the precedents of the Supreme ; Court. I hold upon that subject (and 1 will J be entirely frank with you) this, that under j the Constitution of the LmteU States Lon gress shall make all r.eedlul rules and regu-. .... r . v rr . lalions lor U:e government oi tfce .territories under the grant of authority in tee Constitution. Mr. Webster, in Congress, has given it as his deliberate opinion, that the right to govern the territories results as a matter of course, to tna Congress oi me iw . aa. Mr. Webster a lawyer ? Did he know any thing about the Constitution ? Wits he a constitutional lawyer; that man, whose j constitutional speeches have become cousti-j tulional text books of law in the law schools ! of Europe and America, he gave it as his j opinion that the right to govern the territo-j ries resulted to Congress. You have heard j how the whole Cabinet of Monroe, and how j every department of the Government acqui- j esced iu it, from iht day to this. Let me: read a little further. In the territorial act for j the government of Mississippi, the iniporta-i tion of slaves from any place in the United t States was prohibited under severe penalties, and that act passed under the administration of Thomas Jefferson. Was not tht claiming and exercising the right to govern the Territories by the Congress of the United States ? In March, lb-JO, an act passed tor the government of the territory of Indiana, wherein t-lavery was expressly prohibited,! aud this was sanctioned bv John Adams a'ld afterwards bv JetTeison. In 18.'5. Micliian, ! Teniiory was organized and prvi ie l wi'.li a ! government, find a similar provision was ap ! proved. In 1SJ3 the terriiory of Iowa was ! organized I do not refer to this to give any i particular weight to the authority, (.ut to via- ! die ite the truth of history and a similar! clause was inserted, and Van U.iren :igr ed j it. In 1843 Oregon wa organize:!, nnd tl ; same provision was carried through there, j and, indeed, the same prevailed uatil ls "! ; for it was substaniialiv i:i ih measures of ; 1850. ' j POl'L'LAR SHVtRkllSTV. i Now, gentlemen, I believe that ihe Con- j stilulion of llie Limed fc:at-s carries slavery nowhere, but simply sane. ions the existence of slavery wherever shivery exists by virtue of local law, and no where else. 1 believe this government was itisuiuted, in tlm language of the faihers, "to perpetuate the blessings of freedom," and not to extend ti e curse of slavery. Such was the universal practice of the Government for seventy years under the system, of Congressional sovereignty. We have had an experience of nearly seventy years. We have had peace. The almost magical development of all this great territory, north west of the Ohio proves it. We have since had nearly five years of (xperi-jj ence of "popular sovereignty," on Mr. Doug- j las principle, which was io inaugural a uc t and surer era lor the territories, and what has j been the result? You know the mournful history of the territory ol Kansas for the last five years. You know that they have " sown the wind and reap the w hirlwind ;" that they have sown broadcast ihe bio" dy seeds of revolution in the virgin soil of Kansas, but that overruled by the guidance of a benign Providence, a living cn-p of free institutions and Free men is likely to grow up to beautify and adorn the nation. Bat ihis has been in spite o! the doctrine. We are told, however, that under the Dred Scott Decision, Congress has no light to legislate upon the subject. As I undtrderstand the Dred Scott Decision, the Terri torial Leg slalure has no more righ' to leg islate than has the Congiess of the United States. Both are effectually and forever cut off, and there is not this day, if that decision is to stand, one inch of fee soil in the United States; no solitary acre of territory of the United States but what the blighting curse of slavery is spread over for all lime to come. If that decision is to stand, all oui territories, as we acquire tlu m, are to be de voted to slavery and to slave institutions. CLAT OS THE -CO.MI'RuMIsK. "But gentlemen, another reason given re cently is that Mr. Clay taught, in the Compromise oi 1CS0, the necessity for the inaug uration of this new doctiiut; that Mr. Clnv should be quoted as nuihoritv "upon this subject and by whom? By men whoe irauus, ana sianuers, anu persi cutions, tol lowed that ereat and lifted man into ih verv . r a . ------ grav upon er was ha souri noote, an 1 a.l comp hetrt ol Henry Clay, in that heart tu-re was no roota lor a wrong thought, nor f-r treason in any shape or f.-rm (lorir continued aiPlaus';- Bu: wa were t. lay -u aentngs up-, a that subject You rcc-o.lect in the Ivna.e ot ttieLiMtea ?ate, when mterrogatea hy Ser.a'or Cooper, ol Pcnn-vlva .ia, as to whether the Coin pro. -i.i.-e of 1850 would repeal i he Miss-outi Com pro.-? ise, he sai i i.e "never hud dreamed of su-h a thing as th it there ffis any conflict or necessary repe.t!."

There were passed resolutions in favor of the Wilmot Proviso. Does any gentleman doubt that? If so, I have the resolutions here and cau read them. Otherwise, I will not fatigue you or myself l 1! Tl VKi P. r.n ,L- lha by reading. The Whig Convention took the same rounds. Well now, the exclusion of Slavery has strangely bjcome an Abolition doctrine. Gentleman have departed from their own teachings. The Democrats in your Legislature passed a similar resolution, approved by the late Governor Wright; and now they deny it all an J say it is all "Abolition! Abolition! Abolition!" '-Nigger! nigger! nigger!" That is the answer to anything, everything, and all the time. To relieve me I will tell a story, though I have no talent at story telling, being truthloving man and a lawyer. (Applause and liughter.) There was an old gentleman who had trained and educated his son for the ministry. Afier passing through a long course cl siudv, the sou came home liceused to preach. " The first time he preached was in liis father's village; and of" course the old man went to hear him. He preached from this text: "And Simon's wife's mother lie sick of a fever." The old man listened to the sermon with all the fondness and favorit-i-ni of a father; he heard it through with piea-urt !.a11r. f Yf S'liru'.-lV IiA It'll n.i til hear him ine- ch ajain. He heai d l.:u and ext, iiiiain he pleached lt ,iu the s;iiu ol.i And Simon's wife's mother lie sick of a lei f. Ile heard him through; hut though he would rattier he had chi.sen another s;.b ji'i:t, hi said nothing- But on the third Sandfly he rode twenty mi!e to hear hi - sri! preach and h! it was the same tex, "And Simon's wile's is. other lie sick of afever." lie could stand it no longer, and he halloed ou': "Mv son, uj son, is not ti.atoa woman deadycif" , mv fellow citizens, in reference to the cry of "niggr," and "Abolition." Is it r ' about lime the thing was dead? It is dead to all intents and purposes, with all intelir iit and honest met; Yet these men iusuit your intelligence by using the same cry, by preaching the same old sermon. 1 am now brought summ.-.rily in the history of things, to In 18:?0 when this Compromise measure wss passed, of which you tuve heard, for thirty jears, peace was restored a comparative peace. Not that f ull justice has been done, not that the entire anti-slavery sentiment ot this country was satisfied; yet the people were w illing to take it as the best, under the circumstances that could be done. DRED SCOTT DECISI S But gentlemen ask me if I am prepared to mafce war upon a decLsion ol the Supreme Oourt of tfce UaiU'd Stat s. I make w ar upon that decision as I make war upon evil cv , r ... ery where ai;d under all circumstances, and at all limes. I make war upon that decision as Gen.Jackson want d upon the decision in favor of a bank of ti e United States. I appeal to an enlightened public sentiment. I remind the people of the United States the free people of the United States that the order in the book of Divine Revelation is after the book of Judges comes the book of Kings. I, sir, resist tyrants and tyranny, whether the tyrant sits iu the halls of Congress or upon the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. I would not re sist that decision by force! No sir, because the Constitution of the country gives me a power greater than the enlightened public op inion and Christian conscience of the Republic. To these I make my appeal. I shall re sist that decision until the Supreme Court be properly modified, until Freedom, ylong strangled of utterance not only in Congress but upon the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, can safely assert her sway. Perhaps I have elaborated this subject long enough perhaps too long. I wished to de claieloyou what my opinions were upon this subject, humble as they maybe. Iain not hers to enlighten you, the people of old Wayne. Far from it. I regard you as the citadel of Republicanism as you were of Whiggery. (Long continued applause.) I have never been brought here to speak to ihis people before lor the single reason that our friends never thought it necessary to , . . sul s-hvery to i s preent lin.i;s. I would make no war upon slavery in the &'.ate?, but I would lave free dU tissi ui i.cr and everywhere. upoT the subject. Let us have light!

GEN. BrCHAXiS's WAR. In ''a lime of profound peace" I said. rot so, buchanan lias waged three wars 2.1otious wars. One war against Free institutions and Free Slate immigrants in Kansas, when the whole power of the national army was brought to bear to crush out free institutions, and free sentiments, andtree discus8 on. There is one of his wars. One clause ( of tiie Kansas Nebraska Biil tells us that the people under that biil are entitled to regulate their own institution iu their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United S'ates. That is the law, and for fai tl.ey would not regulate these things in their own way, he sends three thousand soldiers. For what.

Before the prowess of this j ,,l,i(,s tlj war horse, the glories of Caesar and isot.aparte must ' piae us diminished fires." Then comes after all this Paraguay expediiion. President Lopes, of Paraguay, treated disrespectfully one of the Captains ol our fishing vessels, and damage was created to the extent of three or four thousand dol lars. He did not apologise promptly, and Mr. Buchanan gets up an armed expedition against Paraguay. They go within about live hundred miles of the nrorer scenn nf action, aud Lopez got a little scared, perhaps, and sent his Commissioners, and peace is tken and there made, and nobody is killed, nobody is wounded, ami Imchanan is the glorious hero of a third war. Why just re-1 cently the Third Napoleon returned in triumph from the glory of Magenta and Solfer-! no. He returned in triumph to Paris, and millions hailed I is return; triumphal arches! were erected, wreaths of flowers were placed j upon liis brow. Why, 6irs, that pageant was nothing a mere idle show compared to what ! the pageant will be when General Buchan-1 an Commander-in-Chief ot the army and i navy of the United States, shall return in ! triumph to Wheatland. The election of Mr. Buchanan was hailed with iov bv a treat portion of the American people his retire- I ment from oth'ce will be hailed with joy by j all the Ameiicau people. The whole Amer- i ican people are at last united on one thing, f and that is, in praying God to save us from L Mr. Buchanan's a Jministration, and from all i simhirones. Even old Pennsylvania, staid and sober Pennsylvania, says that il God will ! forgive her for giving one President to the' country, she wiil never ask another during! the tide of time.

I shall not real to show how this Democratic psirty has abandoned its principles. I might road, for, gentlemen, these things that are passed are but the beginning of the end. We told vou six years ago, four years since. and again two years ago, that the Democracy ot the JNcrth, tr,e Buchanan U e mocracy, be-j longed body And soul to their tak masters in the South, that they were hypocritical in their advocacy of freedom; that they did not intend to carry out honestly, the provisions of the Wilmot Proviso; and time has shown the truth of what we then said.

But it is not the mode of the Republican party, j or of the fathers. It is a mode uokuown to the Constitution of the United States, as I verily believe. 1 have doubtless detained yon long enough on that subject. A word now to the Republican organization. The necessity for the Republican organization grows out of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.

It appealed to the public conscience to the public heart to the public intelligence. The 1 fleet of the organization of that party was what? Why just this. It lost us the worst men of the old Whig party and gained us the best men of the Democratic party. That is what it has done. Gentlemen prophecy now that the Republican party is to have a 6hort course; that it is to fall. Gentlemen, the Republican party partakes in its nature of the eternal elements of truth; it will stand as lonw i as that attribute of God himself shall stand 's immortal; it shall eland until its great work is done. mission of republicanism. What is that work and mission? It is to restrict Slavery in its present limits; to give the free Territories of the United States an everlasting heritage of freedom and free institntions. That is the mission of the RepubIican party; not a mission of war and revolution against the institutions of the bister States. No, sir. We stand by the Declaration of Independence; we btand erect ur.on b j Constitution of the United States That is ment in isUvQ and r rce Scales.

We in the northwest of it have industry aad labor, churehes and selrool-hoases, grand public institutions of freedom, acd Lecce we have become more advanced. Is it because we have superior al vantages of clima'e. soil acd people? There is no superiority of people. So pe pie upon God's green earth were ever superior to the pioneer hunters that came with Dao'i Boone. Look to the miliitary history cf the country. Wherever a battle field, from tbe blushing

of institutions. Suppose this state of things. Suppose aa intelligent foreigner should land in New York. He would see the wealth of that Empire State; he would see the white sail of that State bearing the commerce from every nation upon earth concentrated in the harbor; he would see her immense chAriubla institutions, her wealth; he might pass over into honest old, Pennsylvania, 0d would see the tame scene, there, and then he would pass over a mens imaginary line into Maryland or Virginiand ' he would ask himself hence arises this wonderful disparity! How is it? He would be1 tempted to Ask if war had poured her desolat4 ing tide over tnose lair belds, if tbe lamina., which walketh at noonday and wAsteth at night, had been here if pestilence !-.1 ited this soil. The Answer would be not tiiese, but the Almighty's curse which follow man's injustice Slavery has written her fa-s, ul story upon this soil. So, gentlemen, it has ever been, fco it will ever continue to Rut jrentlemen say, why agitate the ubv ject of Slavery? They tell us it is dangerous to agitate the subject of Slavery. We may shut our eyes to the glory of the sun of noaudav. but the sun still shines.
