REPUBLICAN 19/EETING.
In pursuance of an announcement in
the JOURNAL, there was a large 'meeting
of the Republicans of this county at the
Court House, on Moult- erening of court
week last,• for, the purpose of organiiing
for the ensuing year. The following are
the -proceedings :
Meeting called to order by J. S. Mann,
Esq.
On motion, L. IL KIN.NEY, Esq., was
called to the Chair.
On motion, Messrs. SALA'S' . EvEss and
TiromrsoN were elected Vice Pres
idents, and T. S. CIIASE appointed Spero
tary.
Mr. J. S. MANN stated the object of
the meeting in some appropriate rcularks,
and - moved that a committee of three be
irpointed to report resolutions expressive
of the sense of the meeting.
The Chairman appointed on that Com
mittee, Messrs. Juhn S. Mann, B. W.
Benton a'ndo..C. Warner.
On motion, the following persons were
Appointed a County Executive Committee
"fur the ensuing year. Messrs. A. C. Tag
' gart, Chairman ; Sobieski Ross, Lewis
Mann, R. L. Nichols, Charles Monroe, J.
Q. Merrick, and Duick Whipple.
The Committee on Resolutions then re
ported the following Preamble and Reso
lutions, which were read, and unanimous
adopted :
WHEREAS, The Missouri Compromise having :
been repealed, professedly to enable the . , Peo
ple of the Territory affected by it to form, their
own institutions in their own may,
.and the
party which secured this repeal being now in
power, we hold that it is a gross insult to the'
people of this nation for the President to ad
dress Congress in favor' of the Lecompton 1
Constitution in the terms of his late Message, I
wherein he says:—" A great delusion seems to
" pervade the public mind in relation to the
"condition of parties in Kansas.. Thils arises
"from the difficulty of inducing the American
"people liirealize the fact that any portion of
"them should be in a state of rebellion against
" - the Government under which they live.
"When 'we speak of the affairs of Kansas,
"we are apt to refer merely to the existence of
two violent political parties in that Territory,
"divided on the question of Slavery, just as
"we speak of such parties in the States. This
"presents no. adequate idea of the true state
"of the case. The dividing line there is not
"between two political parties, both acknowl
edging the lawful existence of. the Govern
"meat, but between those who are loyal to
"this GovernMent and those who have en-
E dearer ed to destroy its existence by force
and by usurpation—between those rho sus
tain and those who have done all in their
power to overthrow the Territorial Govern
ment established by Congress: This Gov-
IL ernrnent they would have long since subver-
P ted, had it not been protected from their
s' assaults by the troops of the United States."
Therefore,
Resolved, That Federal bayonets are more
Palms obstacles to popular, sovereignty than
Acts of Congress; and that the Missouri Com
promise only prevented the-existence of Slav
.ery North of . 36° 30', whereas the United
51ates troops have prevented the people from
exercising any right, except in the mode di
petted by the President of the United States.
P.tolves, That the legitimate fruit of thel
V'eslflffit's interference in the affairs of lion
ess, and of the service of the troops in that
Territory, - is seen in' the attempt of an insig
nificant Inseam- to impose a Constitution up
on a protesting and 'indignant MAJORITY.
Reso?red, That the President's Messagot
transmitting. this minority Constitution UtCon
vets, is a gigantic effort at falsehood and int
position—as well In its suppression of notori
ous facts, as in its misrepresentation of those
referred to in the above extract. •
Raclred, That Members of Congress from
the Free States who shall, by omission or
e"mission, aid the President and his Cabinet
in the consummation of this Lecompton mons
trocity, should be prepared, at the expiration
eftheir present terms, to seek the shades of
Private life. Long years of penitence may
induce an outraged people to forgive, - but
sever to forget their utter .faithlessness, bro
ken pledges and tarnished honor. Patronage,
heaped upon them by a corrupt oligarchy as
Meath for their perfidy, shall never shield
them front the indigtMtimi :and :coin of an
insulted constituency.

)
- Mr. JOHN S. Ati.Ni!t was called upon to
address the meeting, and responded
few very appropriate and telling remarks,
reviewing the ; Kansas question, and. the
policy of Prusident Buchanan thereon.
He said, This ComPrt.naise Adt had been
the great act ot the life. of Henry Clay,
and, up to 1554, was regarded as the
most important' bill everpassed.. Mr. Bu
chanan had, in his Harvest Home Let-,
ter," opposed the \llilnlet:Proviso because
it interfere() with the Missouri Compro
mise. Mr. DOugla even had , not dated;
to insert in the, Kansas-Nebraska Bill'a I
clause repealing the Missouri Compro-,
mise, until tine:lto:36a with rem oval from!
his Chairmanship of the Committee - on
Territories by. Mr. Breckenridde cf
The reasons forso doing since advanced,
was that it interfered with the rights of
the Territories. ',This was the burden of !
its defense. It was not for the purpose
of strengthening the Soutti but that the
people should liate all their rights. An i
` argumentargument of the .eanipaign! of 1836 was'
that Kansas would be a Free State if Mr.
Buchanan was elected. The hand of that
!same President Btichanan is now seen in
every movement to deprive the people of
that Territory of their rights—armed
soldiers are sent by his orders to force]
them to submit to the obndxious laws he'
and his advisers had concocted for them.
, The speaker compared Katthas to Walla-
Chia, a Russian dependenc3i; referred to
the admission of !the Presidents Special
Message, in regard to the 'subjection -of
the Free State men by the army. The
Lecompton Constitution was framed at
Washington and sent there by the hands
of one government 'spy, named
who reported the real sentinients of the
people of Kansas, Whom thel President is
now - per:seeding for those very views;
reviewed the Kans: i lA Election--ouly half'
of the reg i stered votes of the Territory',
i were cast for the Lecompton Constitution.
I The following resolution was adopted at
Williamsport Deuideratic meeting a few
i •
days since :
Resolved, That it was promised and expect
ed by the Democracy 'Of this county, that the
election of James Buchanan to the Presidency
Would be a triumph of the principle of popu
lar sovereignty over that of congresSional in
tervention ; that he would insist upon fair
play in Kansas; that election frauds'and cer
tificates would be 'crushed ; that hecompte
and Calhoun would 'be dismissed;: that the
unjust laws enacted by a legislature' elected
by Stissouri votes, would he repealed or mod
ified; and that slavery should not prevail
there against the wll of the majority. lind-r
tnese promises and expectations we triumphed
at that election, and without them we must
have been defeated. We shall still labor to
make good ot.r vows to the people.
The county of Bycoinow gave Mr. Bu
chanan 1200 majority. .131e.eding Kan
sas" was referred to by the' speaker, and
the concessions of the Lycoming Demo
crats discussed. The people of this Con
gressional District should meet in Mass
Convention and appoint a Committee to
wait upon Mr. White and inform him
that there would be a vacancy in his Dis
trict soon unless he preferred their will to
that of Mr. Buchanan..
The President opposes the will of the
majority, by bribery and patronage, and
flings a threat in their faces. The only
way to prevent, this violation of the popu
lar will, is by holding meetings and in
structing delegates by the popular voice;
and renounce them unless they submit to
the test.
Judge J. L. Booxa was then called for,
and made some very appropriate remarks.
COL. JOIIN M. KILBOURN was, loudly
called for, and after stating that he-was
entirely unprepared to speak, said that he
had, after he came into the room, been
asked by a gentleman if he was not on
strange ground, and !was'informed that
this was an Anti-LecoMpton meeting.. He
was An ti-Lecomptou, and desired to speak
to his Buchanan friends—of 'whom he
observed he had a right and a left-hand
supporter—and stated that he voted for
and supported Mr Buchanan 'in 1856,
but, if Mr. Buchanan was no a candi
date he would not vote for him.- (Ap
plause.] He disagreed with the 'oentle
man who last had the !floor, that Bitchau
an now stood square On the Cincinnatti
Platform—he did not. He (Mr. KU
bourn) stood on that platform now--and
he and Mr. Buchanan differed materially.
Mr. K. then alluded to the promises, (as
a Democrat in 18560 which he and his
co-laborers had made in regard to the prob.
able policy of Mr. Buchanan in reg,ard
Kansas. This policy had been entirely
(disregarded by Mr. Buchanan. Mr. K.
teriewed_the,Kansas policy of the Presi
dent in a feeling and thorough manner--
and stated that he Was, in this respect,
the enemy of Mr. Buehanan, though in
all other respects he was his friend. When
he was Buchanan he was 1 his :;friend=
when he is .Lecompton, he was not his
friend—and so he belieybd was every hon.
lest open-hearted Democrat. He' was now'
(with Judge Douglas, 'Gov., Walker and
I See'y Stanton on that question, ' Mr. K.
was frequently applauded' during the
course of hii'remarks; - which were thor
roughly anti-Lecompton througlinut.—in
as ranch as he regarded that nieasnre as
stossrnous SWINDLE of popular rights.
Judge Rooks and M. J. S. Mann,
made further remarks, A. ,Olmsted,
Esq. also n.ade some remarks,

Report of Committee - on Text-
Rooks.
At a meeting of School Directors, and
friends. of Education in Potter County,
I held in Coudersport, on the 19th of Nov:
last, in order /to secure a uniformity of
!test-books - throughout the County, the
l'undersigneil were appointed-a committee
to repert in favor of the Use of such books,
as upon examination, should be deemed
best adapted to secure the object, and
promote the interests of education. .
. " It will readily be perceived, that the t
duties of sucha committee are laboriousl
and difficult ; owing to the Multiplicity i
of text-books in use, and others which are
strongly ' recommendmi; all possessing'
merits-worthy of attention. From these,
to select those best adapted to Common
School Education, requiees long and pa
• tient study. Only a partial report there
-1 fore is now presented,. trusting that for
Ithe sake of vniforuzity, Directors . may
• adopt, in their respetcive districts, the
works here recommended.. When text
books have been found to be in general
use, which answer their object,, it has
been thought best to avoid the unneces
sary expense incurred by changing them.
The Committee recommend -Stoddard's
Juvenile Mental . Arithmetic ;" also
"Stoddard's Intellectual Arithmetic. A
thorough knowledge of the former should
be acquired, before the scholar is allow
ed to take up the latter. For Arithme
tic with exercises on the slate, "Davie's
New Arithmetic" is recommended. This
work is believed to be practical and is
also quite extensively used in the county.
Works upon other branches - of Com
mon School Education will be reported,
as soon as there shall be opportunity for
investigation. Respectfully submitted :
