The Republican Mass Meeting held hero on Friday, was respectable in numbers, but not near as large as had been expected. Col. Curtin, the Republican nominee for Govern or, delivered a very long speech, andwo must do him the justice to say it was dignified in sentiment and contained nothing offensive.— He spoke of Gen. Foster in the kindest man ner, and said ho regarded him'an honorable opponent. We, in common withall Dome-' orats, felt gratified that Col, C. expressed his opinions in the mild manner he did. The next spcech_wan niadoJ)y Mr. JcNkin,. Republican candidate for Congress, who ex plained the position ho occupied in the last session of Congress. Ills explanations failed to convince his hearers, but yet his remarks' were kind and gentlemanly, and we therefore feel no desire to speak harshly of a man who advocates,his cause boldly, but yet utters no libels upon his political opponents. In the evening Carl Schuez, the “ furri ner" spoke in German and English. Of course, we could not understand his German speech, but when he commenced his English address we understood that. He started out hy saying that we had called upon him and made an “ apology” for the article we publish ed against him last. week. This was -such an outrageous perversion of the conversation that [ took place between us, that we felt it our right and duty to contradict him. Wo had no de sire to interrupt the meeting, but we had a de sire to set Mr. S. right; that was all. Next followed John C. Kunkel, of Harris burg, the same man who Gen. Cameron pub licly insulted at Washington, some two years since. Mr. K’s. speeches are all alike—one half in the spread eagle style, the other half personal abuse. It was not the first time that his batteries bad been opened upon us, and we suppose it will not be the last; notwithstand ing we have never attempted to injure him in any way except as a political man, and many of our best friends in Dauphin county have al ways been his supporters. He may please his own conceited mind by his speeches, but we doubt whether they are calculated to advance the cause ho advocates, or to eleyato him in the estimation of the people. Such was the Republican meeting—such I the speeches delivered before it. We refer at ! length (in another article,) to Mr. SonußZ, because, notwithstanding our admiration for his talents, wo do believe ho advocates princi ples that are calculated and intended' ger the peace of the country, and at the.'same time stir up strife among men. We rogard him an unfair man—one who desires Wseo anarchy, confusion and blood. Wo respect the rights of all foreigners, but a foreigner who boldly at tacks the institutions'of the country that has adopted him and protected him, against the un merciful assaults of Know-Nothihgism, cannot expect to secure-the respect of either, native or adopted citizens—men who revere our country, and who will, if necessary, peril their lives to protect it against the assaults of both foreign and domestic foes,. , [C7*Tho National Democrat,, published at Cassopojis, Michigan, ■ says that there are twelve hundred negroes in that county, and every, negro in the county; and every-negro in [ the county ia a Jiving somoh againstCßbpub iicanism,'. " scncfiz aSd ms defence. Ih ourpnpcp of last week, wo published on. extract froma speech .delivered by Sohurz, in' Springfield, Massachusetts. - That extract had appeared jin a number of our exchanges, and bact never ; boon contradicted'., Its lan guage wa? so In accordance, with the treason able sentiments and-Red-Republican ideas heretofore enunciated by this impudent for eigner, that we had no doubt of its genuine nees. In his revolutionary speech delivered some weeks ago, in the city of St. Louis, pub lished in the Now York Tn bune, and endorsed by the Republicans generally,, be reviled the memory of the great Washington, ridiculed hia farewell address, insulted the eloquent Everett in his patriotic eSbrta for the purchase of Mount Vernon,and belched forth the most shameful tirade against the Union, the Con stitution, the Supreme Court, and the men of the South. Under these circumstances, read ing day after day some new and damnable heresy frpm the lips of this Gorman Uantori, and,prepared to hear and read grosser vitu peration, ns he became emboldened by the loud plaudits of admiring Republicans, wo had ho doubt.that the treason of. this foreign swaggerer, had culminated in the following [ desecration ■ of the altar and .memories of American liberty r “ There is yoUr Declaration of Independ ence, ” said he, “a diplomatic dodge, adopted merely for the purpose of excusing the rebel lious colonies in the eyes of civilized mankind.' There is your Declaration of Independence, no longer the sacred code of the rights of man, but a hypocritical piece of special plead ing, drawn up by a batch of artful; petti-fog gers, who, when speaking of the rights of man, meant but the privileges of a set of aristocratic slaveholders, but styled it the rights of man, in order to throwdust in the eyes of tho world, anil to inveigle noble hearted fools into lending them aid and as sistnnee. jApplauso.] These are your boast- 1 ed Revolutionary sires, no longer heroes and sages , nui. accomplished injuntrooEßS and Hypocrites, who said one thing ahd meant an other ; who passed counterfeit sentiments . as genuine, and obtained arms and money and as sistance and sympathy on false pretences / There is your great American Revolution, no longer the great champion of universal princi ples, hut a mean, Tanlcccirick- —[bursts of ap-. plause and laughter]— a wooden nutmeg—[ap plause]—THE MOST IMPUDENT IMPO SITION EVER PRACTISED UPON THE WHOLE WORLD.” [Appl auso.] These sentiments werenotoniy abhorrent to all patriots, but even shocked tho blunted sen sibilities of the Republican Committee pf our county.' Consequently as Scupkz passed through our town, on his way to Chambers burg on Thursday last, (there to spit forth his fanatical sentiments,) ho .was shown a copy of our paper, and asked whether ho had ut tered the'language above; quoted. Ho re plied, f yes," but qualified it as wo shall now I notice.' It, was not a qualification in private,' to a few individuals,'but was made before tho citizens of our county, assembled in the Court House, who heard with what brazen effrontery a. European outlaw'could malign the charac ter of one of the .candidatesfor the Presidency for the United States. What, was this qualifi cation?—what was the miserable subterfuge to which Scnonz resorted, to shield himself the incensed- feelings that, such blas phemy would , evoke ? How did ho excuse himself? Did he.-say that ho did hot enter tain such sentiments? Did ho say that he had never proclaimed sentiments equally as abhorrent? Did he say that ho never uttered this language: “ / regard Slavery from a re- Ugioiis point , and-will assist, to put it down Wherever it exists f” Did ho say he would respect his oath of allegiance as a naturalized citizen, by executing the Fugitive Slave Law,, abiding by the decisions of the Supreme Court, and maintaining the Constitution?— No, no! None of all this, -An outlaw; in Europe, d revolutionist by nature and educa tion, a restless, designing, fanatical being, he throws himself boldly into the vortex of revo lution in this country—and before the ink that his oath is fairly dry, he outlaws himself by sneering at the Constitution abusing tho Supreme Court, trampling on congressional enactments, and declaring he will assist to abolish slavery “ wherever it ex ists.” In all this' festering treason, he adds this unblushing qualification, that the Ida- guage taken from his speech, ho did not in tend as his oibn, but be did intend it as the language of Judge Douglas—that as Judge' Douglas had declared (and rightly too) “that the Declaration of Independence was a n de claration' for the xohile race,” therefore, ho had in effect said, “ The Declaration is a di plomatic dodge," &c. Sciiorz objected most earnestly, and made a personal issue witl/us, for holding him responsible for the yilo effu sion of his. heated brain, yet in the same breath, acknowledges, that ho' generated it for the purpose of putting it in the mouth of Judgo Douglas. Ho announces with the cool ness of AVenoell Phillips, and tho mendaci- ty of Garrison, that these, by inference, are tho sentiments of Judge Douglas. Has it come to this? lias the.poison of detraction intensified in the heart of this man Scnimz, until ho dares thus to assail an American Senator. Is it possible that this “ overween ing rag" of Europe; stood up before an Amer ican audience, and declared'that Judge Dou glas said, “• that the Declaration of. Independ ence was a, hypocritical piece of special plead ing drawn up by a batch ofartful pettifoggers?" Can it bo that this political atheist, charged the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, with denouncing the heroes and sages of the revolution, as ‘‘ accomplished humbuggers]and hypocrites?” Did this red-mouthed foreign abolitionist declare that Judge Douglas thought the, American Revolution “ the most impudent imposition ever practiced upon the joholc world.” Aye, aye. All of this he said and charged before an American audinco, be cause Judge Douglas enunciated the plain, living and forever breathing truth, that the “ Declaration' of Independence was a declara tion in favor of the white race." Because ho uttered 'this great truth, Judge Douglas was thus maligned in the heart of consorva- tivo Pennsylvania, by a European emissary, who, to carry out his crazy philosophy of government, would give white women to the lust of the incensed negro—white men to their brutal rage, and peaceful, cheerful homes to fearful ravage and the incendiary torch.—>. Ha- wing given Scnuitz the full benefit of' his qualification, wo now repeat with slight al teration what wo said of him last week.— Carl Schurz did come., Sound the Black Re publican trumpet—spread the news abroad—- bring.in the Abolition hosts—Carl Schurz— the slanderer of our forefathers, the Odntemn or of dur Constitution, the reveller inrovfdu tionary reprosontativo manof Rod and Black Republicanism; has-addressed ' his ‘ brother Abolitioiuets' in Carlisle.

The Rail Splitter.— One of tho most 1 amusing incidents in connection with the proceedings of Friday last, was this: After the County delegation had paraded and dis missed, tho Dickinson men made their ap pearance, in largo wagons, filled with men and boys. As they wore considerably belat ed, and as one of their number on tho wagon was endeavoring, in imitation of Old Abo, to split rails, a waggish urchin, in the crowd, out, “he exactly resembles Old Abo, he is hindmost in the field, and he is doomed to stay there." 0“ An ox-Judgo of the Probate Court of 'Leavenworth, Kansas, has boen a'rrested afad ■imprisonedonthochargoofmurder,- ... “ For the Volunteer. BBPOBtICAS BHBS MEETING. Aftor an immense exertion on the part of tho editorial.and oratorical corpse of tho now pledged opposition, a so called) mass meetjng was drummed' up from all sections of tho coun ty, in dur borough, on Friday last. Their candidate for Governor, An nr Curtin, was hero and addressed about 300 persons, (one half Democrats,) on tho square in tho after noon, AnUt was 'entirely worn down and did not take tho people at all by his voice or argu ment. Others of the worthy Andy's special followers took npr tho cudgel of their chief tain* among-,whom'was prominent the invinci ble Joo Casey, and a fellow called Roy, who did all in. their power to show — nothing . In the evening the Wide Awakes drilled around town, aud a delegation of the same order, about 100mon,camo in an extra train from Harrisburg Into in the same evening; and marched with them also. While this latter movement was going on on the outside, Carl Sohura addressed d large audience of all parties in tho Court House, Tho greater portion of this gentle man's speech was addressed to the Germans, in their own language, and of course was not appreciated by more than nineteen twentieths of the persons assembled to hear him. Carl was decidedly up to time with his co-laborers in abusing the great party that from tho ini tiation of pur government down to the present time has been the strong and warm friend to the down trodden of all lands. This he did in speaking of the Homestead Bill and Tariff, After Mr. Schurz, blathorer John C. Kun kle,.of Harrisburg, indulged himself among other things in calling every party and candi date in the present campaign sectional,, but old Abrahr.m and his party. O, shame on you, John 1 Don’t toll the people such stuff os that. Your Chicago Convention had not a single State represented below Mason & Dix on’s line.- Your party and candidates are sec tional, arid they alone. . So much for the great outpouring of the peo ple for Republicanism, if this bo a reflection of the sentiment of voters, the only sectional party is certainly at a -low ebb, and so it is, and so it desires to bo. Pole Raising. On Saturday; the 22d, a remnant of the Know-Nothing party, who now call themselves “ Republicans, assembled at Clark’s Hotel, in Papertown, for the purpose of erecting a "pine” pole. Everything being ready, all got to work. After an awful pull, they suc ceeded'in getting it up about four .foot, when down it come to the ground, breaking : it in two I , Oh 1 how distressed they looked—it predicting the defeat of Old Abe, They tried once’ more, when they succeeded in getting it up crooked. - After the polo raising, the Carlisle Wide Awakes had a small parade. This Wide Awake arrangement is an organization for es corting Abe Lincoln up Salt River by torch light, on the night of the 7th of November; They nqjst not conic to Papertown to make converts—Democrats are too plenty. In the evening, Capt. Todd, (an old Demo crat,) addressed the polo raisers and Wide Awakes. Ho succeeded in misrepresenting Wm, J. Shearer and Mr. Baily. lie tried to conyinoo his hearers that, Mr. Shearer, tho Democratic .nominee for, Legislature, was in favor of the topdal of tho “ Tonnage Tax.” I now wish to inform Mr. Todd that Mr. Shear er has said in a speech at Papertown that ho was not in favor.of a repeal of saiddax. Af ter the speech,.the Wide Awakes formed a torchlight procession, and marched through the streets, amid the deafening shouts for Douglas, Johnson & Foster, by, the citizens of the. town. Tub Wide Awakes.— This semi-military or ganization is one of the worst features of the Republican party. Made,"up for the most part of the remnants of, Know-Nothingism, they embrace the very persons that are most ly likely to create disturbances wherever they go, anti their -facility for combination, witli-| their pass words and their other modes of con centration, render them a formidable power, in a crowd or in a town, that cannot well be resisted except by similar organization.— When the time comes that our political mee tings are made up in whole or in part of those half military organizations, the worst of con sequences will necessarily ensue. Scones of riot and bloodshed will be sure to follow, pea ceable people will be kept from the meetings, and our political arrangements will bo handed over entirely to these secretly trained bands. Every good citizen, therefore, should set his face against those organizations, and against political parties that encourage them 03’“ A Soldier of the Mexican War Drowned. —Thomas C.» Risslor, a member of Company A., second Regiment of Pennsyl vania Volunteers, drowned himself on the 4tb of July last, in Ell river, llumboldt county, California.
