Vol, X., No. 348—Whole No. 3848, NEW YORK, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1844. oe: Rhode Island Mass Meeting !!! IN FAVOR OF DEMOCRACY AND DORR. Five Thousand Ladies in the Field, AND THIRTY THOUSAND FREEMEN. The Military Ordered Out, The State Prison Guarded with Cannon ! This extraordinary and exciting assemblage took place on Wednesday at Providence. The steamboat Norwich, Capt. Dodge, was chartered by a pertion of the citizens of this city to convey them to the city ot Providence, and left on Tuesday evening at six o’cluck, crowded with passengers, there being, at least, eight huudred on board. An excellent band off mnsic was provided, and the steamboat was decorated with various banners containing mottoes iijustrative of Democratic principles, in- cluding an excellent por:rait of Governor Thomas W. Dorr, as he has recently appeared while under- going the sentence of the law. As the steamboat passed down the Eust river, she was saluted by the steam boat bells ateach of the wharves, which was returned py the cheers of the passengers. On passing the North Carolina, the shrouds were manned by the apprentice boys who gave three cheers for the Delegates of the Democratic Convention, which were return- ed by 4 salute from a gua on board the steamboat, and the stentorian voices of the passengers. Soon after starting from the first landing, it was discover- ed that the celebrated Mike Walsh, the hero of the “Chepatchet battle’? under Governor Dorr, was on board, and consequently much excitement was created among those who were timid aud partially alarmed at their position, He was vrged to leave the boat at Delancy street and Williamsburg,where she stopped, but refused and remained on board; although he said he had no intention of going to Providence when the boat left Warren street. Tne “Tenth Ward Roarer” which wes piaced on the bow of the boat salu- ted the crowds that were assembled on the wharves aud piere, which were returned with the hearty cheers of the assemblages The boat was crammed to overflowing, and such a scramble for berths, matirasves and settees was neverseen except on board a North River steam boat, when the fare was ‘fifty cents and found.” The night on the sound was beautitul and clear, the moon shone sil- very bright, aud as the boat struggled through the waters with her hundred souls, she seemed a thing of life breathing and snorting through the ocean briue. After e pleasant run with a light breeze from the north east, she approached Providence at about 9 o’clock in the morning, and arrived at the wharf at 10, under the salute of artillery, martial music, and the cheers of the dense assemblage. The procession was soon formed as follows :— Chief Marshal. Cavalcade of Fifty Horsemen. Music. Committee of Re tion, and Invited Guests. Chaplaine’s and Clergymen. : Committee of Arrangements. First Ward Delegation. Second Ward . ‘Third Ward Delegation ieismacasa Fourth W. rd Delega een ‘a ation. Fitch Ward Delegation.

Johnston Delegation. Music. Gloeester, Foster, Scituate and Burrillville Delegations. Kent County Delegation. ‘Washington County Jelegution. Masic. New Jersey Delegation. Connecticut Delegation. Citizens and Strangers, Cavalcade. They proceeded through the principal streets of the city, accompanied by banners and devices, and numbered in procession 6,731. The New York delegation werewarmly received, and espe- cially eo by the ladies, to whom the Marshal, Dr. Fenelon Hasbrouck, was continuousiy com- pelled to return thanks, by calling for the cheers of the delegation. The portrait of Governor Dorr taken to repreeent hie pale and wan expression of countenance while laboring under confinement, which was enclosed in an elegant frame and carried at the head of the New York delegution, attracted universal attention, and many a tear was seen to trickle down the cheeks of the beautiful ladies who were watching the progress of the procession from their dwellings, while his robust friends, who were spectators, cheered its appearance ut every point. his por- trait—the ladies, and the revolutionary soldiers, were the great points of interest in the procession. Among the banners, we noticed the following, carried by the ladiee, which fully evince their api ted teeling on this occasion:—“ We are Rhode Island women—triends of Liberty, Freedom, and equal and just laws.” “If this ie treason, make the most of it,” &c. In the male part ot the pro- cession were the following, ansong others: “T. W. Dorr—1 will not compromise the people’s righ On, Rhode Islaudgwoe—Whiggery has done this. This bauner contaived a representation of the tem- ple of Liberty destroyed by a thunder-bolt from the internal regions. Another contained the words, “Sacred to the memory of Jonathan J. Cilley.” Another, ‘Our country is dear, but Liberty dearer” Auother, ‘* Rhode Island—she that sow- eth ia tears shall reap in joy.” The procession passed iu full view of the state prison where Dorr is confined, which is also used as a county jail, debtor’s prison, alms house, luna- tic asylum, and penitent Frem thence they proceeded through North, Main and Smith streets to the Piackaey Farms, the place selected for the Vast assernbblage tv convene, which is about a mile northwes: of the city, on the hill at tne rear of the prison. The spot selected for the speakers was in a valley, forming an amphitheatrical view from each side, covering a space of about ten acres, which wae filed with epectators, including several hundred iedies, wno occupied the centre of the vast asseniblage, with Mike Walsh in their midat, directly in isoucof the Speaker's stand. A plat- form was erected at the foot of the valley, on which a band of music was stationed te enliven the scene. Tae utmost order prevailed—not a drop of intoxicatiug liquor was sold on the ground, nor Was @ pers present who appeared to be laboring unger Ite eflerta, e meeting was organized by the selection of Gen. Tuomas F. Canventsr, as President, and thirty-one Vice Presidents, being one from each tewn in the State, and five Secretaries, ‘The Pre- sident called upon the Rev. Exper Wakeman, of the Methodist Episcopal church, of Cumberland, to address the throne of Grace, which he did as follows:— “Almighty and everlasting God,who holdeth the seeptre over the destinies of men, and governeth Kingdoms by Thy mighty power. We rejoice, O Lord, that w thus far travelled the journey of life, aithough suri ed with temptation and evil. We rejoice that the light of lorious day im yet permitted to snine on the soil of ode Island. ‘@ pray Thee, O Lord, to interpose Th: divine influence in the adoption of such measures as will advance the noble cause tor which this assemblage was convened together, (Some of the spectators here loudly cried, Amen.”) Thou knowest, O Lord, twat one ef the fairest and most virtuous sons of Rhode Island, now lies incarcerated within the gloomy ceils of onr State Prison, whose incarceration has arisen from his advocacy of Democratic principles, such as nerved our revolutionery fathers vojdo battle in the cause of human liberty.

(Amen) A voice in the crowd here cried out, “I move we vow proceed, forthwith, to liberate Thomas W.

(Cheers ) This teeling must exist in the heart of, every true Rhode Island man, vn whose behaif | congratulate you on the favorable auspices thut this day presenta to the cause of liberty in this oppe.ssed State. We have here before us, uniting and united in our cause, the delega- tion trom the nobie Kmpire state, the,land of Van Buren, aud a delegation comprising thy essence of the democracy of our Empire city. hey are here ina land now gov erned by Algerimes—that land which gave birth 10 a Greene,a Williams,a Barton, a Perry,and u Dorr. (Cheers,) which is bow overshadowed by darkness and oppression, but which we soon hope will be egain knowa as the land of the free, the patriotic, and the brave (cheers.) We here a delegation trom Connecticut whose government received the exiles vt Rhode Island, ond extwnded such hospitulity and kinduess that nought but death can erase from our-hearts. (Cheers.) The rep: esentative trom Massa: Churetts, the State wuere liberty was cradied, and where the crudie of liberty ever remaiis to sustain ite advocates iu the hour of trial, will never be forgotten. She has, indeed, proved a muster State, not only a sis ter of Jove, but a@ father and mother by protec- tion. Here iso are the freemen of the Granite State, the refuge of Dorr, and the home of Hubbard, whose heart in sympathy is equalied by his head in judge- ment and determination, (Great upplause) To the ja: dies, whose presence must always iuspire the heurt of man in advocacy of right and justice, we return our thanks, our gratitude, and our blessings for their zeu) and energy as evinced on this vccasion. (ihree cheers fer the ladies, toilowed by three more.) Fellow citizens, the objects of the assembluge of this Convention are to pr: mote the election of Jumes K Polk and George M. Dailas, and to resort to every legal aud constitutional means to liberate Governor Dorr trom the hands of bis oppressors. (Cres of “Down with his oppressors” and cheers) The speaker then proceeded to coutrast the political charac ter of James K. Polk with that of He Clay, on the question of the right of suffrage, and cited the ietters,and ucts of Mr, Clay to abow that he had opposed the progress ofhuman libercy in R. Island, and in connection with the Whig press ofthe country had approved ef the incarcera- tion o(GovernorDorr tor austaining the very principles that mude this country free and iudependent. (Great pplause.) In allusion to Governor Dorr, he seid it was not necessary for him to recapitulate his po- Atical acts-—that he could personally t-stify to his purity of charactur, his unblemished reputation, and his talents, which, fur one ot his age, was rarely equalled. (Loud cheers) for the sake of his countrymen, ne Jaid himself upon ihe altar of liberty—had entombed himaeif alive fur ‘the sake of his foncies, and what man could do more tuan to tay hia life down for another. (Great cheeripg.) ‘This sacrifice cun slone be remedied by lawful acts, as the martyr thus imprisoned could be relessod by morai force aione, and if any other means were attempted, his virtue wag such that he would be found in the midst of the russ of his prison house, clinging to the last stone that was left to mark the Bastile ct Aigerine power and oppression. (Tremendous cheering and applause) ‘The Algerine apd Whig party, which are synonomous in this State as well as in the Union, have endeavored by every pvssible means to prevent the attend: ance of citizens at this assembiuge. Armed jen paraded our streets ; cannon had been placed in the State Prison yard ; false rumors of the postponement o} the meeting bad been circulated ; citizens from other States had been threatened with arrest by these -foes of liberty, but sull this vast rssemblage defied their power and bearded them in their own den. (Enthusiastic cheer ing) Their outreges upon liberty had created a power which was now at work sapping their foundation, and which would soou convince them that its moral force wav more efective than bristling bayoneta in the hands of puny Algerines. (Appia le then spoke ofthe unholy combination of biue lig! ‘higs, old Federaists, and rene gade Democrats, to divide the spoils of party,junder the ab- eurd and d.ceptive title of * Law and order men.” He said that thia combination was kept together by the cry ef “war,”—“war,”—t' at the fears Of the ignorant were thus excited for the supposed safety of thvir property, thus were these bluod-suckers fattening upon the \y politic. (Applause) He alluded to Gov Fenner, as a rene- gade democrat, standing at the head of the Government of the Siate, furthering and advancing these ridiculous notions, and urging the fear that the bouty of the banks, aad beauty of the women would be seized and appropria- ted by the gallant ladies and gentlemen compriving the suffrage party of Rhode Jeland. (Siouts of laughter aud cheers.) Such conduct, he said, was too ridicuioua to be dignified by the contempt of honosabie, honest men— (great cheers.) Let us go onward in the cause this day advanced, and but a shor time would elapse before the Al- erine government would totter to its base, and Dorr in Rhode Ialand,like Decetur at Algiers, humble them to the dust. (Great aud enthusiastic cheering by the ludies as well aa gentlemen, amid which the Presi lent took Lis reat.) At this point of the proesedin 8 the assemblage was so extensive thatthe President proposed that other epeakers should tuke the stand occupied by the music at the foot of the valley, and addregs the lower five acres ot the audience. This propusition was immedistely assented to, and extended to other parta of the field, untiletx speakers were engaged at onetime. | The resolutions were thenread by Judge Cowett, one of the Vice Presidents. They contained an embodiment of the privciples and views of the suf- frage party, based upon the political fabric of the sovereignty of the people to change, alter, or modi- fy their constitution and their lawe,whenever a ma- jority of said people shall desire it. They also con- tained a solemn protest againet the incarceration ef Governor Dorr—egainst the election of Henry Clay, and against the recent Algerine law of the State demanding a property qualification trom natu- ralized citizens betore they could be eutitled to the right of suflrage, while the negroes of the State were entitled to vote without such pro- perty qualificetion. A resolution was also passed Srepstnicing wit Danie! O'Connell for his impri- soninent inthe cause of Liberty, and hoping tor a speedy. restoration. Another, protesting against the imprisonment of Martin Luther, a citizen of Rhode Island, who had been incarcerated by the Algerine government for acting as chairmen of a suffrage meeting, but who hus appealed to the Su- preme Court of the United States for a reversal of the yudgment against him. Another, in fayor of the election of Polk and Dallas, and their priaci- ples, closed the list. The resolutions were unanimously adopted by the hearty cheers ot the vast assemblage. _ The President then introduced, with the deafen- ing cheers of the audience, Governor Hunsaxp, of New hij gd who rpoke as follow: jy heart is too full on this great and inte ing occasion—it is borne iown with feelings of the great- est sadness, and overwhelmed with sorrow. I tank here in the land of freedom, the lend that gave birch to Greene and a Perry, and es where is that pure and honest patriot, Themes Wilson Dorr? (Voice in the crowd—" he is not here.”) No, he is not hore—he was my rsonal friend, and | gloried in extending to him the bana of friendship. 1 advised him, when he sought refuge in New Hampshire, not to ret to Rhode Taland till the force of truth had overwhelmed the enemies of freedom ; but be replied, “I will go back to my native State. I have done nothing but my duty, and | will die in the cause of popular Jiberty.” (Great cheering.) The spesker here seized a benner borne by the ladies, and saising it in the air, repeated its motto—" If this be trca- son,” ays, ‘Ic this be treason, why, kt them make the most of it.” What moral power has brought such an assemblage together on this occasion? Prenident Canrsntae here interrupted the er'by cying that he was compelled thus to act, in order to pre sent him with an elegant bouquet of flowers, culled by the hand of a suffrage lady asa mark of approbation of his manly course in protecting (dovernor Dorr while he was an exile from his native State. (Cheers ) Governor Hunpano received the bouquet, and it, in his hand, repeated again the banner motto of the Indies “ If this be treason, make the most of it (Cheers) Tien turning to beautiful donor, he said, “In return, for this, T have only to say if my first born eon wus pre: sent, | should say to him, give this lady ‘your heart and your hand.” (Grout and enthusiastic applause) | you ladies, your Dorr will be set at Weert and a mento of your approval of my course,| shall take this bou quet tomy New Hampshire home, aud trust that before its Heauties have faded my words will prove verified. (Cheers ) The Governor then proceeded to comment upon his owt eourse of conduct in refusing to deliver Governor Dorr to the authorities of Rhode Isiand, and gave as a reason that he believed no offence had been committed, aud that it therv had, this refurel made himjen guilty of treason as . If this wes treason, said he, let them make tho most of it, (Cheers) He ‘then reviewed the ciples of ora With the condensed remark as te loland, thet the people framed govern: Meats, not governments the people—that sovereign- ty existed with the people,,came irom the pie, and no earthly power, «xcept that sustained bj tren and oppression, could tuke it from the peop! (Great Spplaus:.) He contiaued—my heart bleeds for Dorr ; but he may sink 1uch by inch under the chains of his oppress- ore, yet the cause of human liberty will not be stay ed— not @ cloud can effectually disturb the positical horizon. The cruel aud oppressive sentence may destroy his lile— but the death of oue man, in such @ couse, will add glory and triumph to the crown of ireedom, while his oppressors wall #.nk into oblivion. | (hears and spoianse) ‘Hethen alluded to the President contest, and urged ihe support of Pull and Dalias as ony of the great political movements of the day, calculated to aid the objects for which this meeting was organized. (Here a lady fainted in the crowd, but was svon revived) In contrast te this, he continued, what says Henry Clay to the acts of the suifiage party 7 le had said that ‘they strack at the tuundation of all safety and secunty of ci- vilized society.” God forbid that such a sentiment should emanate from the heart of .ny man who professes to be an American freemen. (Loud cheers.)— Age-nat such doctrines I shull ever contend while in pri vaie life, aud also in my public capacity, if | ever again should bu #o placed, which 1 litte expect at | resent, wa f told my distinguished friend (turning to Governor Mor- ton) that whew he revurned to public lile, 1 would also. That friend, Morton of Massachusetts, is here. (Great and enthusiastic cheering from the audiouce) Perhaps ‘this is treason, if so, let m make the most of it. (Ap- plause.) He then closed with a starring appeal in favor ofthe annexation of Texas, the occupation of Oregon, and the election of Polk and Dallas. The President then introduced Avexaypxn Wes, Esq , of the New York delegation, whe spoke us follows : —Fellow Democratic Ledive and Gentiemen! 1 ha seen many a gladdening aud exci! scene, but never before have! seen suca ascene ay . (Laughter and applause) We New Yorkers came here to-day expecting to be met by Algerines, but the blooming hecaon Bp fra rant flowers with which we have been received, betoken le Island not to be an Algerine desert, but oneot the flower gardens of America. (Great applause, in which the tadies Joined most heartily ) These chicken’ hearted gen- Uemen had undertuken to excite fears, relative to the in- tended viait o1 a portion of what is called the waterrified democracy of New York. (Luughter.) Yes, wearea part of the unterrified vemocracy of New York, but we ure terrific against none but the opposers ot human Liber. ty. (Cheers) We expected to be received by armed soldiers, and we were prepared to meet them, but not with arms, except with those double arms that always accompany the cuuse of justice. (Applause) But lam too hasty—we were received with arma and hearts thet beat in your bosoms, anxious for political freedum to your native Siate, (Cheer upon Ke) We came her day, myself armed with a little hickory cut from the farm ot James K. Poik, (che: in favor of the suffrage yy of Rhode | ) We came here not to dictate, but to advise and cheer you On in the great struggle for liberty and popular rights. (Applause.) We came here, not to frighten these wuite- livered tyrants, (cheers) but to extend our sympathies to your entombed patriot. (Cheers.) His oppressors ha’ unprisoned his body, but they cannot imprison his no! and patriotic heart. ‘The speuker then drew a.contrast be- Btn oo Lpetcii Lreregiad in the amber ot aon jersey bythe people in their sovereignty and the opposin, acts of the goverument of Rhode intand, ded by FBaites States troops, in suppressing the rights of the people, as similarly exercised 1 the latter State, and contended that the government of New Jersey wou.d now have the same right to violate the expressed wish ofthe people. He con- cluded with am eloquent appeal io favor of the rights uaranteed to the sovereign peaple, and urged their com- ined energies und influence in proving themselves wor. Wey of bong freedom to which they were entitled. (Great applause Jonn C. Smitn, Junior, next addressed the immense audience in an eloquent speech on the topics con nected with the meeting, and urged strongly the election of James K. Polk, as an argument in favor of the libera- tion of Governor Dorr. ‘The Paxstpent then introduced the Hon. Maxcus Mor- ren, ex-Governor of Massachusetts, who, he said, was born in the cradle of liberty—but yet he was no infant in the se of liberty. ' The Governon dwelt briefly, but with much severity, on the law of the legislature of Rhode Island, ed alter the difficalties in the State, by which the prisoner was re- moved for trial from the county in which the offence was committed. He ut acquiescence in the present laws, until the force of public cpinion struek them from statute books. He deprecated all violations of law in tempts to change the condition of Governor Dorr, but ex- horted his friends to labor, withouc ceasing, to produce that moral effect that would soon unbar the doors of his gloomy prison, x At tis period speakers were engaged at various parts of the acres of people. Among them we no- ticed Mr. Banus of Massachusety, Mr. Joyceryn and Mr. Newman of New York. Mr. Parmenrign of Rhode Island, aud others, whose names we could not obtain. Letters trom General Jackson, James Buchanan, Martin Van Baren, Colonel Johason, Silas Wright, and others, approving of the objects of the meeting, were read amid the enthusiastic cheers of the vast concourse. The New Yorx delegation, aceompa- nied by an escort of about two hundred horsemen, left the ground about 4 o’cleck, and were received on their route through the city to the steamboat Norwich, by the sparkling eyes and enchanting siniles ¢ ft the suffrage ladies, who accompanied their manifestations uf favor by the waving of their *kerchiefs and other salutations. We paseed by the prison yard where Cov. Dorris confined, and perceived that Governor Fenner had ordered out several military companies who were secrectly enclosed in the prison yard and in their armories at the upper part of the city. Several pieces of artillery were stationed in front of the pri- son, and the soldiers who had them in charge were as ungentlemanly and ill-mannered as theAlgerines on the coast of Barbary. To a gentieman who asked a civil question, such as every citizen soldier would be bound to auswer, he received the presen- tation of a six barrel pistol to his breast with direc- tons to inake himeelt scarce or risk the consequen- ces. The gentleman, who was a New Yorker, gave the f llow a contemptuous look from head to toot, nearly choked himself in the attempt to swailow his indignation, and walked away, thanking him- self he was not a citizen of Providence, Khode Island. Crowds of persons were ecattered about the prison during the day, and from one of the cells, supposed to be shat of Governor Dorr, a white handkerchief, marked with stripes and stars with a piece of charcoal, was every now and then thrust forth, as if to satisfy the spectators that the inmate was eee im spirit although his body was entombed in a dungeon. a The Norwich left the wharf at Providence for New York at about half-past four o’clock on ‘Wednesday afternoon, and arrived in this city the next morning at an oat hour, with an over. flowing cargo, including Mike Walsh, the hero of Chepatchet, and Charley Newman, his gallant aid. Yacut Race.—The second trial of speed be- tween the two celebrated yachts, Belle, commo- dore Forbes, and the Northern Light, commander Win. chester, came off in our harbor yesterday afternoon. The conditions were that they should sail on the wind four hours, the Belle having the choice of position—the first tack to be not than ten, nor exceeding thirty minutes —neither boat, after the first tack, to stand on any one tack longer than thirty minutes—end to teck, within that time, at will. At the expiration of four buurs, the wea. thermost boat to put her helm hard down, and draw her jib hard to wiadward—end the time noted, which it would take the leeward boat to reach her, with her toat hook At five o’clock and 15 minutes, snya the Atlas, off Little Nahent, the Belle put her helm hard down, and drew her Jib hard to windward, and at 6 e’clock and 24 minutes the Northern Light ranged along side of her. The result of the match may be thus stated :—in the race of four hours, on the wind, the Belle beat the Light nine minut T | sag of the two boatw at present stands th’ ih breeze of wind and a heavy sea, the Northern Lig! beat the Belle.

Leslie Coombs, of Kentucky, would address the whig party of thie city, caused a pretty strong muster of the party last evening atthe National Hall. About eight o’clock the room became well filled, and shortly after, the company began to be rather uproarious in the de- mand for the commencement of the business of the evening ; sticke and feet were beat on the floor, to no limited extent. After some time, Dr. Bur- rewe, Vice President of the Fourth Ward Clay Club, came on the platform and said that General Coombs had enly arrived a short time before in town; haviag on the previous day spoken at several places, he was very much fatigued—but that he would be present in a short time, and hoped in the mean while, if there were any singers in the room, they would step forward and amuse the meeting. Upon this, a tall, dirty-looking individual, with vacuums for ventilating under each arm and on the elbows of his coat and in snndry parts of hia pants, with a beard of at least a week’s growth, and aface that one might have waoteeed: not to have known what seap or water wae to come in contact with for a fortnight, presented himeelt on the plattorm to sing a song; but his very ap- pearance created such a burst of laughter that, alter standing like a monument for some time, he was obliged to sitdown without accomplishing his ob- ject. After some further delay, during which time several parties were called for without success— Mr. Henry M. Parsons, member of the Fourth Ward Clay Club, came forward und addressed the meeting at some length, evidently speaking against time, so as to give an opportunity for nobler game to follow. Ald. McMu.ugn, of Albany, succeeded Mr, Par- sone, evidentiy with the same object, and dilated upon the usual questions—was in fivorof a protec- tive tariff and »gainst annexation; in favor of the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands and for the limitation of the veto power, and in every other respect a true Whig,as they were a shorttime since. The gentleman having dilated on these points for about a quarter of an hour, loud cheers from a large party outside announced the arrival of General Coombs, who shortly after entered the room and was received with three times three cheers. 4 _Gen. L. Coomas then came forward, amidst vo- ciferous cries of ‘to the street,” which was resist- ed by aioe on and around the platform, but at length the General was appealed to, who said that he was then laboring undrr a severe hoarseness— that he had been addressing large meetingy for the t few day: he open air, which he would pre- fer on this occasion, and he had no doubt but that in the space of a few minutes he would be sufti- ciently reeovered to address them. i The meeting then adjourned to the street, and in front of the National Hall we found a few deal planks nailed together on the top of a lurge ash stump. Here the orators of the evening mounted, and the reporters (our corps alone) with some dif- ficulty squeezed themselves, the others dreading the pressure of the mob around to endeavor to reach the desired spot, until for some tine afterwarda.— Then it was found that there were no lights to aid us in our endeavors cxcept the feint glimmer of the larnps in front of the house, which, together with the vibration cf the light platform, rendered our task one of no ordinary difficulty. At this time there could not be fewer than 2,500 persons present. After seme trifling delay the orator of the evening proceeded as follows :— Fellow citizens -You must be aware from the sound of my voice thet 1 am scarcely able to address you on this occasion, and particularly so as IT am to be the principal talker of the evening. My being called here was quite unexpected to myself,as I came to this city solely on business, but through the solicitation of friends I have been compelled to devote my humble talents to Lyte bang cause of the country, as well in peace as 1 have beiore in war (A| plausi if Gentlemen, I am no politician—I never was 4 my life—nor am I en office holder—nor did I ever receive any of the public treasury except such as was voted to me by both Houses of Congress, and approved by Gen- eral Jackson, for the blood I spilt in the defence of my country during the last war.

If this aoctrine, therefore, is unsound o: acele, is it not on an extended one, my friends? (App! Van Buren, they would remember, made a great mist when he wrote his celebrated letter talking ebout coo: skins and hard cider, at a time when a very serious caiam- ity hed threatened the country. They would recollect the time after General Jackson went out of power ; a petition went from New York begging of Van Buren to call Con- gress together to relieve the suffering community. They would remember that after Jackson went out of power, twenty millions was lost—it was estimated that in the city of New York 20,000 laborers were walk- ing the ates @ state of starvation, when Van Buren refused to call the people ae ; aad in ten days the pet banks were blown up “ sky high”— Ganghter) — then it was that he issued his celebrated ‘amat! eommencing “great and weighty matters hat ne rendered it necessary to call Congress together.” (Laughter ) Twenty thousand famixhing people, and then when the pet hanks fell ‘great and weightymatters” obliged him to con vene Ci . If there was a Democrat present and hed forgotten thesejfacts, he would refer him to the records for the fact—he knew it was in May Van Buren refused, and it was in May heconvened the Con, on the ex plosion of the pet Banks ; that was his misteke, and when che people saw that proclamation in Kentucky, they im mediately denounced Van Buren, After this heartless act against the people, how Ry a ey to feel in relation to Van Buren? The hero of New Orleans had wiscly said, “All who live on borrowed capital ought to break.” The Tariff question in the it contest was one that required grave consideration, and embraced the three great elements of the social system—the three great arms =the mechanical, manufacturing, and then there was the agricultaral. ‘This tact reminded him of an anecdote in relation to “Little Dela aaa friend had facetro called it— but though amall in stature, it had the stou'est heart. The owner of a large tract of forest, sent one of hie slaves during @ thander storm, to take care of his trees, who took refuge under a lofty pine which was k down after the first clap of thn , by the nee ning ; immediately the nigger ran off and took shel- ter under an old owk which reigned the majesty of the forest. The lightning next struck down the oak, w which the o! nigger bolted off and took refuge under a gum tree ; but when the boy came to atrike the gum tree, it glanced off, and the nigger im mediately looked up and exclaimed,‘ Well, by gum, you have got your ‘ft lest.” (Leughier.) Ven Buren had tried his hand at the Tariff—he firet wielded the me- chanical arm—he next tried the mantfscturing arm; and when he came to the gun tree, the egricultural—he found his match. imumense laughter) He did not want to ea- cite the rich aguinet the poor, but he would tell them that the country which paid best ita laborers and protected them, was the best governed country. (Cheers) ‘Th would permit him to saythat society ,as it was constituted, formed a kind of arch, fermed of three great stones, which required to be cemented carefully together in order to uphold the social syetem. ‘These stoues were th agricultural, the mechanical, and the manutacturi: arts, and to advocated = principles adverse to the ricultural interests, he would merely say, what could they do without agricuitural labor? fie did not see any corn fields in New York—every where he looked about him he saw nothing but people. ‘They had 4n this country the philosopher's stone, and the alchymi endeavored to distover that it was by the division of labor that everything was converted into gold. By this alchemy they were endeavoring to get protection for the masses—and he would ask how could they get aloug in New York, where there existed both the manufacturer and the mechanic, withoat agricultural labor? When agricultural labor was prostrated, every tring was gone, and grass would grow in Broadway—and if tue manufac turer and mechanic were put down, they should ail be Compelied to go to the country—and those wishing to sell would not be able to get the pay, and thoge wishing to buy would not be able to give 1t—they would, in fact, be like acommunity having no women — (cours of Jaughter) —and however they might be able to get along iu town in that way, they could not do so in the country. (Laugh- ter.) This very taritf, it was a curious fact, had been ad: vocated 8 than thirty yeara ogo by Henry Clay, inthe ky Legislature, which was the ci of his memorable duel of which eo much had been aud which he had fought in good “home spun.” (Lotd and tremendous cheering) Much as hed been said on that duel, he was proud to be able to say that the son of man who fought him was married to Henry Clay’s daugh- ter. (Vociferous cheers, and cries ot “Give us @ touch upon Texas”) The tariff had been abus nd it had been called the “black tariff” He, however, would spell itt-eriff, which meant protection for American labor. He was a common-sense man, and discussed this question as @ practical one, and to those who contended that it operated so as to cause a conflict between the interests of the producers and the consumers, he would refer thew to look to the result of the practical working of the tariff of 1842, He did not look upon the other questions, namely:\- “A National Currency,” “The division of the Proceeds of the Public Lands,” or “The Veto Power,” of such absorb. ing interest as the adjustment of the tariff. Enthusias- tic bat ema) He looked upon them as matters sub- ordinate, and of minor import in the present struggle, as compared with the question of the tariff. There wes, however, another question, which wes thrown as a kind of bomb shell—by John Tyler—the question of nexation of Texas He would ask what hed Te: with American labor? And yet Texas was the head and front of the present contest. In South Carolina, the ground that had taken was such as to alarm ‘American patriot. (Loud cries of ‘nullification ”) T sallant general here read a list of toasts lately given ‘at a public dinner which was given to Mr. Rhett in South Carolina, and contended that hey were bound to look to the safety of the Union ; he would gravely ask them to look out, as this was the American ogeinst the English He felt an apprehension, tif they did not look out, an attempt would be made totake New Jersey from them—and thus Pennsylvania would follow—but they could not take the Wer e@ Nerth or the South (Cheers) After briefly reviewing the proceedings of the Democratic National Convention held at Baltimore, the gentleman then dilated upon the many beeuties of the glorious Constitution of this country, that part in par ticular which gave an opportunity of the son of every working man to reach the highest office in the State, ha ving for their example the glorious conduct and history of Henry Clay, although they might have no earthly father to guide them, the Almighty would direct their course as he had dene the great and good wan. (Loud and continued cheering) He did not see how the ques tion ofannexation, or non-annexation of Tex! fected the ape question present at issue between the two parties, and thought that if he went for the non annexation every one present might do the same, ehad more in- terest at stake in the question than most had. He then took a review of the conduct of Santa Anna towards the inhabitants of Texas, particularly in his not allewim, them to worship God in any other way than that la down by the church of Rome; not but he respected the Roman Catholics, but because he thought every man should go to Heaven his own way. He helped to clothe and arm a number of volunteers, from Kentucky, to assist in protecting the inhabitants of Texas. At that very mo- ment the government of Texes owed him (Gen. Coomba) upwards of $120,000, which the annexation of that State to the Union would make certain of his obtaining, but this wes no. censideration; he had his principles to maintain, and maintain them hewould at any and every sacrifice. He might have, on hie return home, to sell the house from over the heads of his family, to pay his way ; but no matter—his children would have as much as he had from bis fat —n world for themselves to make their way in ; and he would have a clear conscience, knowing be had done his duty. When called upon, he was ever ready to do his duty, and gave several instances of it. The tleman then proceeded to highly laud the character of the residents of Texas, as brave men ; but as much as he re- eee he respected the stripes end stars more ; aid— “ The banner of freedom, long may it wave Over the land of the free and the home of the brave.” It might be remembered that a few years ago an expedi tion went forth from Rantnely against the powers of Mexico on behalf of Texas ; in this were three individu- als, one the author ofa volume that bas since given the particulars of this expedition to the world ; another indi vidual, onda youth. ‘Thesc were taken prisoners and the unfortunate boy was tied to the tail ef a horse and drag ged some 1600 miles to Mexico, where he was bound in chains and forced to labor like a criminal on the public highway.
