Harrison was elected in 1840, but since that time they have gain- ed such strength as to be able, at the election of last year, to give near upon 17,000 votes; and it is now calculated by the most ardent supporters of both candidates, that this vote will be given in favor of the abol:tion candidate, and that their vote at the forthcoming election in November will be from 0,000 to 25,000 This contingency has thrown great fear into the ranks of the whigs, and equal joy among the demo- crats. Out of this it may be reckoned that three- fourths will be taken from the whig party, and therefore it will be so many votes abstracted from Mr. Clay. In 1840, the whigs carried the election for Harrison by about 22,000 votes, while out of this number Gov. Seward only received 10,000 or 12,000. With this formidable exertion, if Mr. Clay succeeds in getting the seat, it will be with a very close vote, much more so than we ever anti- NEW YORK: HE SECOND EDITION. | __ New “York, Friday, september 6, | 184, Another Magnificently Illustrated WEEKLY HERALD.

From an early hour ia the morning the delegations kept pouring in, and on the arrival of the first extra train from New York, consisting of twenty-two cars, crowded to excess, the number on the reception ground at the railroad depot aumbered many thousands. About one o’clock the vast procession began to move towards the place of meeting, at the State Here admirable arrangements had been made for the speakers and reporters, and as the various bodies and delegations marched on the ground the scene was imposing in the extreme.

Liberty meetings are announced to be held in various parts of the State during the present month. The same paper contains reports from va- rious other parts of the Union, showing a conside- rable increase in the party, and the great exertions they are making. From all these movements, and from the various efforts of the democrats—from the speeches of Mr. Webster against annexation while the candi- date of his party is in favor of it, will make a dif- ference of some 30,000 votes to the whig party, and we should not be surprised if it left Mr. Clay very little chance of carrying the State of New York. We regret this, as he has come out in favor of annexation ; we would rather he had the settling of this great question than any other man. But at all events, the truth must be told, and we care not so much who the man is, if good will come. The Texas question is gaining ground every day.

That was the amount of Mr. Choate’s tremendous oritorical effort. —(Cheers.)— Captain Stockton then went on at considerable length,an: reat spirit and eloquence, to vindicate the part he taken in the contest of 1840, eulogize the administration and character of John Tyler. The election of 1840 was a memorable era in the history of the country. Many of the best democrats believed that it was necessary to overturn the administration in order to serve the country.

On this single fact may issue of the contest for the Presidency. By the nomination of Mr. Wright all the odds and ends, all the cligues and coleries of the democracy of New York are united in favor of the Presidential nominations of Baltimore. jection of Mr. Van Buren on that occasion had thrown the vote of New York into the hands of the Whigs and in favorof Mr.Clay. The nominz- tion of Wright reunites all the discordant ele- ments, and places him in the front as a candidate for the Presidency in 1848, and hence New York democracy is now reconciled in all its parts, to Polk and Dallas, and we may expect one of the most furious, boisterous, enthusiastic onsets at the polls in favor of Polk, Dallas and Wright, that ever took place in the Empire State. soon as the news was circulated through the city, the Tammany politicians, in all their picturesque haunts of elegance and vulgarity, were perfectly crazy with delight, and if to-day be not cool and cooling, we are afraid that some of them will be qualified for the lunatic asylum, or the retreat of It is generally admitted on all hands, that the 36 votes of New York wilj determine the Presidency—whoever gets these votes will ascend the steps of the White Houge, and pocket the $25,000 per annum. Now, Mr. Wright is one ef the ablest, strongest, most saga- ejous, and most popular statesmen that ever New York had. As a public man, he isfar superior to Van Buren in every point of view. has a heart—he has a soul—he is a man of most comprehensive mind, and, above all, he is nota vain, contemptible, dandy politician, without feeling or common sense. He is the man who will propably cal forth the democracy inall its fury and uproar. more than that, hisprudence,skill and talent have the full confidence of the financial and commercial clas- ses of New York. We understand that the whole banking interest of NewYork will secretly—but the more efficiently by this very secresy— make a power- tul and united support in favor of the democracy.— This unexpected movement in the moneyed class- es arises from the fear thatif the Whigs get the ascendancy in the State, the public debt will be inereased and the public credit thereby depre- einted, as in the time of Mr. Seward. and more important dread by the financial class- es is that arising from the proposed establishment ofa National Bank of $50,000,000, by which the value of the State Banks would be diminished, and thus vitally affect the interests of every per- son connected with that system throughout the In the approaching election, we have no doubt but that the State Banks can wield an im- mense influence, and who can doubt but it will be exerted in every way against the party that threat- ens to establish a grand national competitor to erush and to depreciate their value, stocks, profits Touch a man’s pocket and you ° ° o alog cabin o ° ° 0000000000000 It is now matter of h—(laughter)—a Jericals Several very laughable and amusing devices were astronomical speech.

To the kindness of your Exec utive Committee, Iam indebted for the proud privilege of addressing you this evening. Relieve me it is with vome diffidence that I present myscli to you at this late hour — Tam aware that you are fatigued by standing 80 long, and that you have also’ been listening with great delight to the eloquence of the gentle men} who have preceded me, and I assure you nothing but asense of duty which 1 owe the canse, could lead me to trespass upon your time and patience— (Cheers, and cries of “go on”) It is to me a groat gratifi cation to meet the New Jersey democracy here at one of the shrines of freedom. It was at Trenton that the Calg ing spirits of the Revolutionary army were re-animated, and that anew aspect was given to the revolutionary struggle. May not this place, with oll its hallowed and inspiting associations, be destined to give a brighter a- pect—bright as it already is—to the democratic cause, of fording omens of coming triumph which cannot fail to cheer every heart? (Immense cheering) There are great questions now dividing the whole country —questions of vast Sporaenicn apeshious which are not to be hastily or lightly discussed, but which are to be treated with all that deep solemnity and attention which their character] demands. ‘Theyjare fquestions, which, if decided in favor of the whigs, must inevitably be followed by results which will become so interwoven with allthe great interests of the country, and exercise so influential an agency of evil,that no democrat, who ia animated by the genuine patriotic spirit, which is the living principle of his creed, can for a moment permit himself to regard them without the deepest concern. Those questions have refe rence to both the domestic andfereign policyof the country The domestic questions relateto the Tariff, a Bank of the United States, the distribution of the land revenues, and the maintenance of the veto power. The questions con- nected with the foreign policy of the country, refer to the annexation of Texas, and the occupation of Oregon. T will not detain you with any discussion in detail of these questicns, but I propose on this occasion fairly to meet my Whig friends, if any there be present. and dis- cuss these topics as they are submitted to the country. Allow me, ‘in the first place to meet acharge deliberately made against an honorable friend of mine, Mr. Butler, and myself. When 1 addressed a portion of the New Jersey democracy at New- ark some short time since, one of the editors of a Newark paper, totally unknown to me, and who certainly could not, as I supposed, have had anypersonal feeling of hostil- ity, deliberately charged Mr. Butler and myreif with ut tering falsehood. He stated that we charged the whigs with intending to settle inthe country a bank of the U. States. I now reiterate that charge I assert that no hon- to that party editor, and in 0 honorable man can deny that a Bank of the U. States measure of the jel | eet and for evidence of that I produce Mr. Clay himself. (Cheers) I am not here to amuse you with any flights of fancy. ‘This is atopic to be discussed rather as a matter of business than as a theme for rhetorical flourish ; and I trast you will bear with me patiently whilst I make out this charge against the whig party. I was present in the Congress of the United States in the extra session of 1841. Mr. Clay and myself travelled from Baltimore to Washington together—and he and I are very good personal friends—i like him personally much, but I must say that I abhor his politics. (A laugh and cheers.) Well, 1 remarked to him—'‘It is Matd warm weather, and I trust that you will not have anything upexcept what relates to the finances of the country.” Mr. Clay replied, be! suppose you mean to give us the directions?” “No,” said I, ‘we are, as you well know, ina lean minority of seme forty in the House, and can only expose to the coun- try the wrong course you are pursuing.” He then said that be would submit all the whig measures in due course of time. Well, then, in the Senate of U. m 27th July, 1841, Mr. Clay made this remark on the Fiscal Bank bill : “If we pass a’) other contemplated measures, and fail to pass this, we shall fall far short of the just expectations of asuffering people. But the passage of this only, without any other measure, would bave fully justified the convo- cation of Congress.” (Cheers) But hear him still fur ther. In the Senate, Auguat 19, 1941, in the debate on the veto of his favorite hank bill, Mr. Clay makes the follow” ing a part of his lamentation : “I came to Washington at the commencement of the session with the most confident and buoyant hopes that the whigs wonld be able to carry all their prominent measures, and especially a Bank of the United States, by far the one of the greatest immed importance.” (Loud cheers) I present and hi Green of Kentuckysay that Me. Clay was the embodiment of whig principles This has never been disputed, and tye are quite justified in regarding his declarations on the subject as those of his party. I consider Mr. Clay their great idol—and as aman of talent, and | believe the ablest exponent of their principles worthy to be taken as their representative. We find, also, that Mr. Clay declared at Macon, Georgia, that “ he was in fevor of a Bank of the United States Ali nations give us the example.” Wealso find that Mr. Clay at Charleston wes still more explicit. According to the Charleston Courier, Mr. Clay’s own organ, “he assumed that Banks and the Banking system would continue to exist under the auspi- ces of the States, and thence inferred the necessity of a National Bank to regulate and control:the system, and keep it from explosion and mischief. He also insisted on « National Bank as necessaryto secure aNationalCurrency ” I submit it to the honorable men in the Wh: arty if th: is not a fair declaration of Whig principles, and of a main whig principle as understood and contended for by their qreat leader, Mr. Clay himself. (Loud cheers.) Now, with these reiterated declarations on the part of Mr.Clay, Tonlyask you,sre youwilling to have a repetition of those disasters, d that dishonor which followed the estab. lishment of aU 8. Bank?

[ refer to the Oregon and Texas uestions—as a party we are as much bound to enpport these measures as we are to oppose a Bank of the United States Was not Mr. Polk selected as the candidate oj the party because he was in favor of this measure, and Mr Van Buren act aside, amongst other reasons, "because he was opposed to Texas.

On this I may say they have oisoned the ear of Denmark with feigned stories. They ‘ave poisoned the public mind, and hear one inference of the democratic policy on that point. During the adminis- tration of Gen Jackson, when Mr. Van Buren was Secre- ‘of State, it was proposed to purchase Texas. Mr. Clay Mr. Aduma also proposed the some thing when they were in office. I now speak-of the valne of that territory. Mr. Adams’ administration offered a million of doilars for it, but under General Jackson the effer rose to five millions, and not satisfied with Texas alone, it wes then proposed to include a portion of California pose of advancing our whaling interests. The first slice Mr. Van Buren proposed to take, compre- hended the whole of Texas, an: the States of Tamaulipas and Coahu ; ry of Santa Fe, but he designated three other boundaries, which Mr Poinsett was to “urge in the order of prefer. ence,” if he could not obtain the best. For the proposed cession, the Minister was instructed ‘to ofter four millions of dollars,” and it is added, that ‘‘so strong were the Presi- dent's convictions of the great value of the acquisition to the United States, that he would not object to go as hij ua five millions,” Some ot the reasons whi: urged in favor of the cession, are curious.
