For one,my fellow citi- zens, am against repose. (Great cheering.)

I, for one, will never consent to repose until the country has d = tice to one, who,throughout his whole life, has done justi toher!

It only requires your principles to be embodied in the person of one so long identified with them, to render their triumph complete. Carry this re- ficction home with you, and let it have full operation; and if the State of New York be found on the side of Henry Clay the victory of the whig party is complete. Mr. Graham then resumed his seat amid great applause. Mr. Daniet, Uttman then rose amidst loud cries of “Root, Root,” and said,—-Gentlemen, I shall detain you but one moment in performing the duty which has de- voled npon me. If 1 were disposed to make a speech, I am without the power, for I have lost my voice in adidress- ing one of our old fashioned assemblies out of doors. 1 however, do not think we ought to adjourn without pase- sing the following resolution: — Resolved, That the three ce interests of the Agricniture, Commerce, and Manufactures, are ins bly connected with and dependent upon'a wholesome protection to the latter; and that nothing will coaduce more to a general revival of the prosperity of the coun- try, as such a revival of the scale of duties upon imports, as, while it shall afford a revenue adequate to an econom ical administration of the Government, shall also. by its discrimination, enable us sucsessfully to contend with foreign countries, and secure to our own mechanics and manufacturers the home market for all articles of neces: sity and comfort, it is proper, fellow citizens, that we should show our fellow whigs of the United States, that we are serious, that we have entered into this contest without any inten- tion of turning our backs on it for one moment, that we have not only nailed our colors to the mast, but ‘we have clinched it.” (Loud cheers.) And so long as one single shred remains flowing tothe breeze, we will never relin- uish (Enthusiastic cheering.) 1 therefore otfer the resolution :— ved, That in view of the history of the past, and in aspirit of frankness and fair dealing ‘towards our fellow Whigs throughout the Union, with whom we have here- tofore acted, it is proper that we make, as we now do, this public and solemn annunciation ofour fixed and unaiter- able determination to give our support to Henry Clay as our candidate for the next Presidency, without sutrender or compromise. (Great and long continued cheering, and three cheers for Harry Clay.) Wirtrs Haxt, late Attorney General, then rose amidst loud cries of “ Root,” “ Root,” and 6: 1 have often had the pleasure of addressing you, but never on any oc- casion have I met you with the’ same feelings of stratifica tion I dothis night. You have met here for the purpose of performing an act, dictated by your sense of duty and responsibility aseitizens. (Cheers.) An act imposed upon you by gratitade as men—(Cheers)--an act which, no matter whether it is vain and ineflectaal, it will at least secure your consciences from future remorse, and your memories from the reproaches of future generations. " We are assembled, fellow-citizens, for the purpose of publicly testifying our cor y Clay, (Cheers,) and of proclaiming to our fello United States that he isthe man of our choice, our selected candidate for the Presidency. (Cheers) I am not here for the purpose of giving an elaborate ent virtues, or of enume- rating his claims, his services or his merits. (Cheers.) It matters little to him in his retirement at Ashland, whe- ther the people recall him to guide the vessel from the perils which surround it, or whether the book of history is;cloxed, asto him. It matters little tohim. He calmly reposes after 40 years service to his country, and looks for an impartial verdict to posterity and the appeal to his God. (Gheers.) Republics may pass sway. our glorious constitution may mingle with the rubbish ofthe thou. sand governments and monarchice that have preceded it, but history will remain, and on its brighte: e will be recorded the name and triot, cheers and deeds ot Henry Clay, an (cheers) and his unselfish devotion to his country willbe held up as an example for the imitation of those who wish to shine. (Cheers.) Can the loftiest ambition aspire to more than tl ar thin, h as eommon kings and presi ass away, or their names be recorded merely period in chronclogy, but the brightest ory's pages will be the glerious actions of iastic cheers.) Fellow-citizens, i, is not for him, it is for our country, we would call the patriot and the sage from his retirement to guide the des- tinies of this great country. (Lomd cheering.) Where else shall we find the experience of age cambined with the vigor of youth ? here else shail we find the steady arm to curb and restrain the encroachments of foreign governments? Whose voice but his can still the domestic turbulance which ly threatened our land? Whose name but his could, with the words, “peace be still,” and it should be so? Where else is patri- otism to be found, which placed by the people in authority will give back to them the power which of right belongs to them? Which will give to the Judiciary the rightto judge and the Legislatare the right@o make laws? hat else we fighting for? What else has been the aim of the whigs since th abrogation of Charlest 1? 4Vhet else but the downfall of executive usurpation lies at the foundation ofthe whig party ? For that we assumed the uame! In 1834, it was the act of executive usurpation which led us to as- sume the name of whigs! Itisaname made sacred by two centuries of warfare against the power of oppression. In 1834 we dured to assume this name, and like our fathers, we placed that name on our banners when we went to battle against executive usurpation, and the people see- ing the tra.h of onr cause, rallied to our support. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, you all recollect the contest of when for the firet time we unfurled our banner in- scribed with the name of whigs. It was the charter election. Never among the innumerable battles we have fought, was one more gallantly fought, or more gloriously won, (Loud applause.) Let us go to those times. “Then there was no envy, or jealousy, or elfishness. We loved cach other. We loved the cause, and victory attended our efforts. Fellow-citizens, J re- member well when we used to meet together, for | have addressed you on every occasion from that time to this. — We rallied at the fall election in 1934, and were then de- feated. We rallied again in 1834, and were again defeated. In 1836 we rallied again with the venerated name of Har- rison inscribed on our bann: It was gallantly fought, but vievory was not prepare! to alight on our b nd again we were defeated, We had failed aud faiied again, but we rallied again in 1887 ; but, Freedom’s battle oft begun, Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son, Though baffled oft, is ever won. We swept the State 7, and victory crowned our efforts. In 1938, do remember how: they came upon us—State after State fell away ? But New York was the rock against which the black seas of destruction, in all their hell of fury and opposition, boiled in vain. From t moment we never rallied again till we swept the country in the great crusade of 1840. (Tremendous cheering.) In 1840 the whole country rallied as one man, and we elect- ed the lamented Harrison as our President, to carry out our principles. Mr. Hall here made a considerable pause, and drank @ tumbler of water, when some person came in and said that the crowd outside wanted to hear Mr. Hall, and he hoped he would go to the accordingly went, but as there was no lights our reporter could not take any notes of what he said in the open air. General Roor was then called on, and was received en rising with great cheering. After apologizing on account of his age, which rendered him unfit for rousing the enthu- siacm of youth, he said that although he'was a member of the Conrt of Errors, and being invited here this evening, to attend on the nomination of Henry Clay for President felt no political sensibilities forbidding me to respond to the call. The nomination of Henry Clay was already made by every whig throughout this wide extended coun- try! (Cheers.) The universal pulsation of the whig heart had called Harry Clay to the Presidential Chair. The only question in my mind was whether it was not too early to respond to this pulsation. But in my judgment it has now become necessary. After the death of the ve- loved Harrison, and after carrying all except the one great paramount measure which was vet then the Whig party despaired of that snecess which it had be- ‘ed had been achieved. There was no rallying point ‘or them thea—alas ! no centre for hem where they could confine every energy. But he name of Henry Clay now gives that rallying rinciples of Henry Clay may. %v pressed in as few words as the Ten Commandments, It < a toriff of duties adequate to. meet all the just demanits o! he government; the restriction of a national currency, only to he done by the re-chartering of the National Bawk m the principles of that one which Andrew Jackson ve ‘ood in 1832.

Cnitel Colenies had many of them “ex with- in their territories, and they all ‘united in the war to reco. ver their lands from the British crown. Those States who had no meperty inthem then demanded asa return lor their assistance in the war, a share in these lands.— And hence the origin of the claims of all the States. And for what purpose were they granted? To carry on the expenseof the war the lands woeriens for the redem) of the public credit. The lands, in short, were reo red and pledged to pay the cost of that great ejectment. When the costs were paid the lands were to be the proper: ty of the Union. as toa National Bank, Henry Clay isin favor of it, when the people demand it And hence it comes to be essential to nominate Henry Clay thus early, in order to give our party rallying points. Let a tariff and a national bank be your rallying points. Have you got to wait the three years for a riff? No, all unite in determining to accompli this reat national measure, tage yd will carry it. Let John Tyler veto your bill once, try him again ; if he vetoes again, try him the third time ; and if you do not make Eelix tremble, | am mistaken (laughter and cheers.) It will be like the voice of seven thunders in isear,and the measure will be carried in spite of all d disgrace the executive chair. . (Cheers.) This great people do know that without a national currency, the great purposes of the national government cannot be car- ried into effeet—and without a National Bank there caunot bea national currency. An equalization of exchanges cannot be effected either without a National Bank. And that bank must also be one of local discount. (Here a drunken man scrambled up on the platform, occasioning some confusion, which, with the noise of people goin; out of the room, drowned the speaker's voice.) Genera Root shortly afterwards sat down, after declaring that Henry Clay must be President of the United States. ‘The General then resumed his seat, amid the cheers of the few who remained in theroom. "There were cries for “ Nickerson” or “ Dickerson ” andothens, but the mao- rity of the meeting let the room and mingled with the motly crowd who were assembled outside, listening to Mr. Hall, who in a very husky voice was still addressing them The bar-room of the “National Hall” was densely crowd- ed and the potency of brandy and water was exhibited in all sorts of yells, shouts, and blasphemy, when we left to write our notes. Fanny Elssler at the Park Last Night, The house was crowded to suffocation last nigat. Pit, boxes, gallery, and dress circle, was crammed to suffocation; the performances went off with im- mense eclat, and the applause far exceeded any thing previously beatowed upon the divine danseuse. The © Buscapies Cubano”—the village dance of Cuba—is certainly the most striking and original thing of all the salutatory ramifications we ever saw in our part of the world. And, as executed by Els- sler, it is certainly one of the most pleasing things we ever beheld, either on or off the stage. The archness~- ihe drollery of the look, and the fantastic variety of the dance—must be seen to be apprecia- ted. To describe it, isimpossible. The “ Sapateo de Cadiz,” the chef d’auvre of the night, took the house by storm. The music of the latter was truly delicious. and Fanny's most exquisite dancing com- pleted the ravishing effect. The audience could not keep their seats. To restrain the enthusiasm with- in the bouads of propriety was absolutely impossible “Encore” was shouted trom pit to ceiling, until it was repeated. And, we presume, “encore” was was shouted by many a devotee in their dreams.— Fanny, of course, was called out, and general cries for a re-engagement ensued; so desirous were the people of this city, to retain this most exquisite artiste amongst us for evena short time longer. Fan- ny, much embarrsssed, came down te the foot lights and spoke as follows :— “This is the last night I will appear before you on my own behalf; but I am sure you will not be in different to the appeals of gthers. 1 am spared, then, alittle longer, the pain of taking farewell, and | rejoice at my reprieve.” This speech was most admirably given, and was a beautiful climax to a night of triumph — It was hailed with repeated, cheers, and wreaths and bouquets fell till the curtain hid her from the au- dience. Heavru or tur Crry.—It is said that a consider- able number of cases of cholera of an aggravated character, have oceurred in the city within the past ten days, We are not surprised that this should be so, from the remarkably unhealthy weather we have had recently, and the abominably filthy and neglected state of the streets and lanes of the city. Every one should carefully attend to the state*of his digestive organs, and to ensure the regularity of their functions we know nothing better’ than a faith- ful adherence to the rules of the Temperance So- ciety and the new College of Medicine and Phar- macy, which latter proposes to purify our blood and the medical profession at one and the same time. anv Futron Streets is rapidly becoming the great centre of all sorts of intellectual and scientific move. ments in this city. Literature, science, news, an¢ even medicine itself, find their appropriate mart at this great central depot of intelligence and en terprise. Furraer From Ruope Istanp.—It appears that the suffrage party are making extensive preparationt to siege Rhode Island on the 4th of July next. Gov. Dorr is now in Connecticut to complete his arrange- ments ; and as his assembly meets in Chepachet on that day, we may expect some fun there. [From Providence Journal, June 21.] ‘The adherents of Dorr have formed a military company in Glocester. They turned out nearly 150 men on Satur. day, abont two-thirds of whom were armed. About 100 turned out at Diamond Hill Plains, the same day. A meet- ing of the same character was held at Holmes's Brewery last Sunday evening, and another was to be held last evening. These, and the Warren expedition, are the “‘ pacific measures” of which we hear so much. Our correspondent at Ch het informs us that move- ments similar to those at Woonsocket, Providence, and other places, are going onthere. What they willamount to, or what is their ultimate object, is a matter of con- jecture. The Suffrage party are stealing guns and cannon wherever they can find them. Important rrom Hayti.—Captain Hill, of the William Thatcher, at Philadelphia, from St. Croix, states that information had been received there from St. Domingo, giving the important information that a revolution had broken out in the Isiand, and that Boyer had been deposed and put to death.

The teting of Miss Josephine Clifton was superior to any thing we ever witnessed from that majestic lady ; and the applause from the delighted audience that followed each sentence, proved the high esti- nation in which she isheld by all lovers of the Irama. ‘To-night Miss Clifton appears as Julia, in the play of the Hunchback, with Mr. Thorne as Master Walter. Those who wish to witness Mis ifton’s beautiful personation of the character of Julia, will have to secure seats early in the day, 1s there will, undoubtedly, be an overflowing house, Progress or Mepicas. Sciexcr—Its Iivertaxcr ‘othing more forcibly de, nonstrates the importance of medical seience, than the fact that in all newly discovered countries, no matter how savage or uncivilized the natives may ave been, some evidences of an eurnest applica- tion to the “healing art” have beep discovered. It is quite evident that itis a natural and inevitable vensequence to society of all kinds, that attempts should be made to alleviate pain, to heal wounds, and repair the injuries to which the body is every hour exposed ; and however rude and imperiect these attempts may have been, yet we always find them keeping pace with the advance of civilization and intellectual light, _ As far hack in the history of the world as authen- tic record carries us,we have constant proof of a de- votion, more or less energetic, tothe practice ef me- dicine. In those early days, the Priests were the depositories of medical lore, a circumstance which originated among the Jews from Divine command, but which was perpetuated among them, as well as the other contemporary nations, by the superior ed- ucation which this particular class received, and the consequent superior knowledge on all other subjects which they evinced. This association of Priest and Physician was by no means favorable to the ad- vance of medicine, as a science ; the one was pros tituted from its legitimate aims to secure and main- tain the ascendancy of the other, and the treatment of diseases was cloaked under the most superstitious About 300 years B.C. the importance of studying medicine,on a proper systein, was acknowledged in the foundation of the first school at Alexandria, through the munificence of the Ptolemies. Here it was taught in its various branches, and here some of the moat illustrious men, whose names adorn the pages of medical lite- rature, received their elementary instruction. For several centuries afterthis period, medic prosecuted with equal ardor in the Arabian and Sar- acenic schools, and imitating the example set by Al. exandria, the Neapolitan Colleges of Monte Cassino and Salerno, acquired considerable celebrity. Dur- ing the period of the “dark ages” the science of medicine was involved in the general gloom,which overspread the natious of Europe, and it was not until the art of printing had introduced a new era in the world’s history, that the “ healing art” with the other sciences was again cultivated with diligence and success. Since this great epoch the medical profession has steadily progressed, and by a long se- ries of splendid discoveries has conferred innumera- ble blessings on suffering humanity. Much, however, remains to be done towards the purification and elevation of medical science. ing to defective systems of education, and from the unfaithful and remiss manner in which the road to professional titles and distinctions has been guarded, especially in this country, many men have been li- censed to practise who are quite unfit to be entrust- ed with the care of the health of their fellow-beings, and whpse incapacity has been proclaimed by the commission of most deplorable blunders. A mistrust in the judgment aad skill and truth of the doctrines and modes of practice of the Faculty, has thus, and not without reason, been created, and the wa’ opened for the access of individuals not regularly educated in the profession, but who have boldly undertaken to correct the errors of the regular prac- titioners, as they are called, by recommending new and more simple modes of treating the numerous diseases which afflict the sons and daughters of —Nsw Movements.—!

Evitron— The fire which I mentioned yesterday proved to be more distructive than was first imugined. Six large ware houses, the property of Mr. Cumberland Dugan's heirs, were entirely destroyel. In these buildings there were as many stores filled with goods, hardly any. of which were saved. The entire loss is estimated at about $60,000, the greater part of which was insured. ‘That great sea monster, caught near Charleston some time since, is now exhibiting in our city. unquestionably an odd fish—-big enough almost to swal- low a whale, and in former times may probably have had some slight acquaintance with Noah.

Like the hardy, rough-hewn pioneers of colonization, these sworn foes of the diplomatised professors! of the “healing art,” have cleared the way for the more useful labors of those, who having the skill and sci- ence which they lacked, may follow in their path, caretully avoiding the errors into which ignorance and rashness had betrayed their predecessors. The fraternity, whom we have thus described as the pi- oneers of improvement and reform in the great field of medical science, have indeed, in nota few in- stances, triumphed over the “regulars,” but then their defective medical knowledge, and want of ac- quaintance with the principles of pharmacy, and chemical and botanical science, have led to rather uncomforta¥le mistakes to all parties concerned. The establishment at this juncture, of a scientific institution for compounding medicines according to the present improved state of chemical and pharma- ceutical science, would appear to be very opportune. Indeed, toa population like that of the United States, exposed to so many vicissitudes of climate and so varied endemic influences, and many thou- sands of which must find it impossible to obtain proper medical advice from a physician, the institu- tion of the ‘““New York Co.tecr or Mepicink AND Pwrarmacy,” which will, it seems, prepare medi- cines adapted for the cure of all diseases incident to this country, accompanied by full and intelligible directions for use, must prove very acceptable. It such an association acts up to its announcement, and perpetrates no deception, produce a curious revolution in the whole prac- tice of medicine in this country.
