New Youx, April 234, 1544, Gentlemen—f regret that I shall not be able to attend the public meeting’ of citizens to-morrow evening on the subject of Texas, It must aot be inferred from my absence that I am not decidedly opposed to the annexation of ‘Texas to the Uni- ted States, Considering the relations in which we stand to Mexico and Texas, and the existing relation of those states to each other, the proposed treaty if executed, would be a gross abnse of the treaty-making power. It would amount to a breach of national faith and honor as respects Mexico, and might otherwise in its consequences have a ‘ost pernicions in@uence on the character, tranquillity and safety of the Union. ‘The consummation of such @ project, without any previous foundation for it in public opinion or in public necessity, ought,in my humble judg- ment to be universally condemned. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, with great respect, Your ob’t servant, JAMES KEN. Messrs. Wm. C. Bryant, Benjamin D. Silliman, Theo- dore Sedgwick and D. D. Field, Committee, &c. The venerable President, on taking the Chair, was greeted with tremendous applause. Ife then addressed the meeting as follows:— At my advanced age and period of life,withdrawn as | am from the politics ot the day, desirous of quiet, nothing could have induced me to attend this meeting but the mag- nitude of thesubject. (Some confusion) { will simply indicate the pointy involved in the question which has called us together, leaving to others avler than myself to discuss them at length. (Renewed confusion aniongst a portion of the audience on the left of the chair, near the committee room door.) Till this day the United States havelfpreserved the highest reputation amongst the nations of the earth for the fidelity with which they have fulfilled all their engagements, and gene- rally carried on all their relations with foreign na- tions, ‘They have never engaged in a war for the sake of conquest—never but in self-defence, and for the purposeof repelling aggression against their’ most xx} credrights. They have never acquired any territory by conquest or violence, nor in any other way but by fair treaties, fairly negotiated, with the eonsent of all the parties that might have any claim to the territory in question. (Loud cheers, anda few hisses.) What now 4s the nature of the question which has been proclaimed lately—the annexation of Te: By the most solemn treaties between us and foreign nations, Texas has bee: adjudged as being within the limits of Mexico. If there way any claim on the part of the United States to that country, it was expressly renounced by these treaties, It is perfectly clear then that the attempt now made is a direct and positive violation of treaty stipulations. (Tremendous applause and a few hisses)” {have beard it stated that there was danger that it would also lead us into war, I think this but a very partial and erroneous view of the subject. I do assert, without fear of contra- diction, that the uanexation of tome, na “te cumstances, is a positive declaration of waragainst Mexi co. (Tremendous cheering.) 1 will say that even it the independence of Texas had been acknowledged by Mexi co, it would be still war—for Texas is at war with Mex! co, and in such a state of things, to annex it to this coun- try, is to jo that war. (Lowd cheers and some hiss ing circumstances, and whilst Texas continues at war with Mexico, and her indepen. dence is not acknowledged by the latter power, I will fay that according to the universally acknowl. edged {aws of, uations, and universal” usage of allt christian nations, that to annex Texas is a 3 and in thatfassertion I will be sustained by every publicist and jurist in the Christian world. (Loud cheers and hiss. es.) This war would be a war founded on injustice, and a war of conquest. I will not stop to inquire what Mexi- co may do cr ought to do in such circumstances. It is enough that the war would be unjust. I know nothing of the ability or desire off Mexico to injure us. [It ix enough to say that an unjust} war founded upon the vio- lation of solemn treaty stipulations would’ disgrace the national character, which till this day, has been unsullied. (Cheers and hisses.) There is another view of this sub- ject, more complex, more delicate, but I do think it is both better and fairer to meet it in the face. allude to the effect that this measure would have on the question of slavery. (Choers and hisses.) ‘The constitution of the United States was from the beginning founded upon mutu- al concessions and compron When that Constitution was passed, it nppears that the Southern States, alarmed by the difference of the social state and institutions from ours in the North, required some guarantees. They may have been granted with reluctance, but they are conse crated by the Constitution. The surrender of fugit slaves, and the non-equal principle of representation, have been granted, and however repugnant to our feelings or principles, we must carry out the provisions into effet faithfully and inviol ut it ought to be observed, that these provisions applied only to the territory then within the limits of the d States and to none other. In the course of events we acquired Louisiana andFlorida, and without making any observations in these prece- dents, it xo happened that inthe course of events, three new States have been adJed out of territories not, whe the Constitution was adopted, within the limits of the United States, and imore eventually Florida, added to the slave holding States. Thus it has happened that additional security and additional guarantee have been given to the South. With those I think they ough! to be satisfied—(cheers and hisses.) Nothing is more true than that if we wish to preserve the Union, it must be by mutual respect to the feelings of others, But these concessions must be altogether mutual and not all on one side. (Here the hisses, groans, and other expressions of dis- approbation, which were now found to proceed from Mike ‘alsh and @ party of his associates, who had stationed themselves by one of the pillars in the immediate neigh- borhood of the rostrum, becamefstill more uproarious than before, and a gentleman in one of the adjoining pews star*- ed up, and called on some of the audience to atep forward and assist him in turning the authors of the disturbance out ofthe building. ‘The whole audience then sprang to their feet, and a scene of great confusion followed. “Turn them out,” “turn them out,” was shouted universally, whilat the party who had hissed retorted their deflance in the most vigorous manner possible. Mr. Job Blunt called out ior half a dozen of the friends of order to come -d, and he would clear the meeting of the disturbers, Morris Franklin was shouting for ‘ Merritt—Merritt,” at the top of his voice, but no “ Merritt” came, The oflicers were equally invisible, and a row seemed inevitable. Again Morris Franklin stepped forward to the front of the platform, and shouted—“ Gentlemen, take your seats if yous please--we pledge ourselves to keep order, and to pre- derve you in the enjoyment of your rights as American citizens.” ‘The audience were then reseated, and order was at once reatored.] 4 Mr. Gauiatty then proceeded— I believe order is restored, and I shall continue. (Cheers.) If it be asked what we do require from the South, | will answer—nothmg whatever. We do not require from the South any new measure that should be repugnant either totheir opinions or feelings. Nor do we interfere with tha question of slavery in Texas, We have taken no measures—we do not mean to take any measures either to prevent or inducethem to admit slavery. It is a free, independent State, and we wish them to do precisely what they please, ‘All we ask is to preserve the present state of ‘things, All we nsk is that no such plan as shall again agitate that question shall be attempted to be carried into effect. It ix toe much to ask from us that we should takean active part in permitting the ac cession of a foreign state anda foreign slave-holding state tothe Union ; and that we should consent that new statoa should again be added to those upon an equal basis of representation. This is all we ask—(cheers and a solitary hits.) ‘The discussion of these questions does not origi. nate withms. It originates with those whoghave fos- tered this plan, We wish every discussion of this question to be avoided. But if ft be forced pon us, we willbe forced to meetit, There are other con- siderations and mort momentous questions which depend upon this In the first place, does the treaty-making power imply a power to annul existing treaties? Docs that power embrace the right of declaring war? Can the President or Senate, in making atreaty with another pow- or, disregard the stipulations of a treaty with a third par- ty? Again, can a foreign State be admitted in the Union Without the unanimous consent of all the parties to the compact? —(Loud cheers) 1 know that the precedents of Louisiana and Florida may be adduced—but let us sve how far they do go. ‘Their validity dependa solely on the fact that their was universal acquiescence. Not one State of the Union protested against the proceeding; and if upon this occasion the same should occur, 1 will any that without adverting to forms we might consider it proper to admit that there is a right. But the precedent goes no farther, It does not go to the point that the power does or doesnot exist. ‘These, | have said, are mo- mentous questions—they are tremendous questions-—#ch aa would necessarily shake the Union to its very contre, and such as I with to see forever avoided Another point. This measure will bring indelible dis The Great Anti-Annexation of Texas Meet- _An immense assemblage of the most respectable stinction of party, took place at the Tabernacle, in consequence of the call for a meeting of all opposed to the annexa- tionot Texas. The large building was completely difficulty that access could be had to the Reporters’ table, long befere the proceedings commenced. A strong body of marshals were in attendance, as organization of the meeting, however, was race tipon olit democrati itutions ; it will bring them into discredit ; it will excite the hopes of their ene= mies ; it will check the oe of the friend’ of mankind We had hoped that when the peeple of the U States had resumed their rights, and the government was in their hands, that there would be a gradual amelioration of logislation—of the social state—of the intercourse between men. All this is checked by a measure on which trea- ties are violated, and an unjtist war undertaken, Still T do not dispair. “My confidence is in the people. But we must give them time td mdke—to form—and to express their opinions. Aud therefore it is that I do strongly re+ probate the secresy—the insidious manner in which’ that plot hus been conducted, so as to debar the people of the Union from the right of expressing opinion on the sub- Ject. Gentlemen, | havedone. I thank you forthe indul- gence with which you have been pleased to listen to me. Tam highly gratified that the last public act of a long life should have been that of bearing testimony against this outrageous attempt. (Tremendous applause) It is in. deed a’ consolation that my almost extingtished voice has been on this occasion raised in defence of liberty, of justice and of our country. (* Bravo,” “bravo,” and loud and long continued applause.) Tueovore Sevawick,Esq.here came forward and sade It is not necessary§for me tu say one wordon the occa sion that has brought us here tonight; it is sufficient to say that we have here persons of a sses standing: shoulder to shoulder in defence of the honor ofthe Republic. (Loud cheeriag) We have met hei as far as we can, to express the voice of New York on the reatest subject that in my judgment can be submitted to the consideration of a free peop.e. (Cheers.) In conven- ing this meeting we should remember the serious re- sponsibility that devolves upon the people of this great State, on & subject of such vital interest to the entire con- federacy. (Cheers) The lifeblood of this meeting is throbbing aronnd. {Immense uproar and confusion here arose from Mike Walsh’s side ofthe house--a voice from whence cried out * Three cheers for John C, Calhoun, which was responded to from the great body of the meet: ing, by a regular storm of hisses; the speaker in the mean time continuing ; but it was impossible to catch his words, When order was restored he continued) And those who got up this meeting had dene well in consulting some of the fathers of the Republic. They have acted in compliance with the advice and counsel of some of those great men who have laid the corner-stone of this great Repub (Loud cheering.) Men, who, with their ven- erable and worthy chairman had laid that corner-stone that gave us afree Republic. (Immense cheering.) With such men amongst them, it was asuflicient guarantee that they had abundant matter for consideration. ‘The first thing that stares them on the very threshhold, was, that they proposed to annex not alone without the consent of the Lp on of Mexico, but without the consent of the peo- ple of these United States. (Lond uproar and contusion rom Mike Walsh’s side of (he house) Any efforts that may be made to distarb the narmony of thia meeting, will bat show the immense unanimity that prevails amongst us—(Loud cries of “bravo, bravo ”’ and three cheers, min- gled with hisses from Mike Walsh’s side of the house, from whence proceeded vociferous cries of ‘three cheers for John C, Calhoun ” This provoked a vehement response from the great body of the meeting in the shape of a regu: lar storm of hisses, amid cries of ‘turn him out, turn him out.” The uproar from within, and an ominous thunder storm from withont, accompanied by most terrible flashes of lightning, which glared in through the windows amid the din and confusion, gave an effect to the entire scene that cannot be well conceived. Here a tall, athletic looking person mounted one of the benches and cried ont at the utmost pitch of his voice, ‘ Proceed, sir, proceed— Go on, sir, go on—-Don’t fear them.” The speaker pro- ceeded:)—This step was taken at a critical period in our history, andin the present aspect of affairs between Texas and Mexico Texas wanted to tail herself to us,and without y_ manner ad: or consulting with the people of States, To he sure, it was very true that the Con- stitution gave the treaty making power—it was very true that thirty men at Washington had in their hands the power to plunge this nation in a war—to heap untold miseries upon untold generations—but this measure was taken without in any manner consulting the wishes and opinions of the nation—it was taken by endeavoring studiously to avoid taking the people’s opinions. (Cries of “no, no,” and hisses from Mike Walsh's side of the house A voice, “ We have the police here ond we shall keep order—go on”) In this step the whole thing has been done within closed doors by the Cabinet and the Senate, of which the people knew nothing, and without them the national honor was disgraced, and the material interests of of the union destroyed, If this thing was to be done, it was by the dissentient voice of the people ofthe Union. (Loud cries of “no” and hisses from Mike Walsh’s corner of the house) ‘The voice of the American people should be heard freely and conclusively to decide the question of annexation, and not to allow this treaty to be made for the advantage of their Cabin ‘The interests of the people and of the nation were assaile by the Cabinet, and it was the people that paid the bill. — They had a treaty with Mexico, and this measure was in direct violation of that treaty ; und they should consider well before they violated the voice of the nation.

Were they pre- pared for a war? (Cries of no, no,” from one side of the house, and loud cries of * We are, to be sure,” from Mike Walsh’s side.) They lived in a conntry where the estab. lished church was not supported by the bayonet—(lond cheers)—which was kept to the throats of the people They had power to resist this aggression upon their rights and liberties. At the conclusion of Mr. §.’s speech, a scene of uproar again arose, amid loud cries to turn out Mike Walsh and party. ; DB. Finxp arose ond said: —Fellow citizens—The mat- ter upon which we are called together to consult is one ot vital importance. It is unheard of that an attempt should be madeto annex a country three times as large as the Stateof New York, a country which enjoyed a separate existence, and that this shouli be don+ with a haste, suddenness and secrecy, and but now brought before the senate, almost as soon as put in agitation. Itis aquestion concerning the just administration of po’ and one which for 6 or 8 years has concerned the whole country Since that day we have heard nothing about it till now that it comes upon us like a thunder clap. We are not prepared for an issue like th muatenly. ‘The Presi- dent was not elected with a q' like this before the people—the Senate was not organized with such a view. his is a question of government, of all others most im- portant for the people todetermine. (Cheers.) We say, therefore, fellow citizens, that the vote and proper voice of the people Sshould be heard before this act be Soamamatel, "We appeal from the President to the Senate—fromthe Senate to the sovereign people —to all the States of the Union, ia all their length and breadth.

How did the revolt take place ? It was effected throngh aid from the United States, It is a well-known fact that bands of hun- ters from the Western States pursued their game on the Texian Prairies when their was nothing to hunt but Mexi- can soldiers.
