Elx-It liepahlicau Meeting in. I.ouiot
It is kith a blush of shame for tho
terni,:hed reputation of our county,
that we undeitake to record a scene,
more disgraceful perhaps in its charac
ter than anything of a similar nature,
ti.at has ever been enacted upon south
ern territory. We feel an abiding
pride in the county of our nativity,
and with heavy Dealt, chronicle any
thing calculated to sully her fair fame
aiquad, but between inclination and
ciiity we have no choice left us, and
are constrained to perform a task we
would most willingly fireg,u. Satur
day, the 13th of the present mouth,
was the day appointed for a meeting
at .Goose Creek Chuich, speciously
for the purpose. of ratifying theThil
adelphia platform and nominations,
lila really as the sequel proved, for
tine treasonable object of proclaiming
boldly and impudentlythe . vilest Black
Republican doctrines. It was previ
ously arranged that the matter
.should
assume the form of a debate, with
two regularly appointed polemics qn
each side. Mr. Henry -Brown . and
Mr. Thomas Taylor for the nominations
!tad Mr. Francis Rae, of Now York,
and Mr. Jesse Brown against them..
The meeting was first. addressed by
tlr. Thomas Taylor; who argiied at

Filhnorc for signitig'it;
be unconstitutional, and that It should
be repealed. He would not touch
slavery where it existed—he Would
leave it to die out upon the land that
bred it—but he would have. the Lai-
ance of the teiritory of the United
States consecrated to freedom in ac
cordance with the principles - of our
Rev = olutionary forefathers. That was
ours but a land of liberty? And was
the fugitive slave law and Missouri
ruffianism in accorgance with this
liberty? He wished it: repealed, and
there was a_ mighty party arising in
the north whose purpose aad aim ie
was to blot nut this laiv and to restrain
slavery within its present - limits.—
[Applause.]
Mr. Henry Brown next arose in I
advocacy of Mr. Fillmore's claims :to
the presidency. He could not
.be .a,.
Member of the Black Republican party,
if he would, as it required a member.
to have hair on his lip. and he • could
not raise it. But he thought Mr. Fill
more was unjustly censured for Sign
ing the Fugitive Slave Law. He
was but the representative of the peo
ple. and was hound to obey the will of
a 'Majority of the. people. .That will
had been expressed through the peo
ple's representatives in Congress, and
he could not see that Mr. Fillthore was
to blame for obeying that
Mr. Jesse Brown followed. next,—
He indulged in the same Strain with
his colleague, Mr. Rae, and wound up
with the eloquent langaage of some
senator, " that the gentle green t slOpes
of Nebraska should not be made rot
; ton with the, institution of blavery,"
[Great applause,]
Mr. John Simpson was next brought ! g uarded against-by the severest penal

had never read the Constitution, or if
he had, knew nothing about it. Did
it not declare that fugitive slaves should

hal dihnod to pronounce the fugitive

Mr. Rae re:sp,mded. He cared -nnt
f or the name of Black Republic an that
had been used by his opponent, Mr.
Simpson. To tay the least, he thought
it ungentlemanly. Here Mr, Simpson
required an explanation, which was
given. -. •
Mr. Rae continued - his remarks, at

terrupted by immense applause. Al`

The gentleman, Mr. Trayhorti had
expressed himself in . favor of a, dis
solution of the.Uniori;, as for himself
he was still for the Union. Mr. Tray
horti arose to' explain; He
,had said
that rather then see Black Republi
canism.prevail, he would see a disso
lution . of.the Union as dearly as he
loved it. As betuiok. his:seat he was
hissed _by a Black Republican by the
name of Hugh Holms. One Jesse
Hogue, nerved by the boldness of his
confreres, was next brought - into the
arena, and seemed determined, by his
hammering gestures, to beat his -re
publican principles into those 'before
him; but what he said we do not re

had become so great, that the meet-•

and confusion. -
We have given but an imperfect

6TORY OS" THE ROOLTIVE.I--:PERILS OP
PELSSiSO OVER JORDAN.
Some weeks since a company often
fugitives—eight Amen, one boy and a
womatiL•Tassed through here eu
route - for Canada.- Navigation being
closed, and the ownerof the constitu
tioual chattels being close at hand, it .
was determined to put the troupe
through by the over-ice post; .conse
quently a doublesleighwas properly
equipped and the journey commenced;
The perils and privations of that lie.:
gira.are thus recounted by . The Cleve
?and Leader, Which has the facts from
a -gentleman from NVinscler, Canada,
ivhere the fugitives finally made" a
landing..
After crossing the Sandusky Bay;1
they made directly far the "Island,
where they arrived before dusk: Here
they partook of some refreshments,
and allowed their jaded horses to rest.
Shortly after midnight they -resumed
their. per Huns journey ; but after pro
ceeding a few miles, they nere beset
with a furious snow-storm and lost
their way. About 9 o'cluck next
-morning they found themselves near
land winch they at first took to: be
Canada, but, on close inspection; they
AliscoVered that they were near the
spot frmawhich they had started on
the
.previous night. The driver had
some difficulty in pursuading the fti
gitives to land, and some of them it/ 7
starting for Canada un foot.
Finally their fears were overcome,
and they consented to land. A suc
cession. of snow-storms continued
throughout the day, and it was not
till nearly m.dinght that the party
could again set out fur the lard where
nu Fugitive Law is in force.
After proceeding about fifteen miles,
they were beset with another snow
storm, and, as to add to their diffi
culties, they came to an opening in
the ice, varying Lop. five to eight feet
in width: They foltulrVed it several
miles westward and found that it lie
came Wider iihenthey fetraicedilieir
ceurSti and •CoUtinmed .eastward with
no bettei success: The'drieer said it
was iiseleSs - to attempt to crass with
the team; and proposed that the fu
gitives shotild leap the barrier and
•
pursue the remainder of their hazard
unsjoutney alone. One,Oftlio chattels,
with a presence of mind Which wuuld
entitle a white man to the highest
praise, suggested that a bridge might
be farmed• of the sleigh. It Was ac
-dordingl}- taken to pieces, a passage
constructed across the opening, and
the horses with difficulty _ forced over
it. Several hours were wastedin the
-operation; and a : : suc,aesi of snow
storms folloiving ea& other, the prty
ilid not 'arrive at their god till lOng
