Atthe Whig Mass Meeting, held at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, September 5, 1844. Fei.ow-Crrizens :—We have this day assembled under circumstances which not only excite hope and awaken the expectation of success, but induce the belief that the battle has been fought, and the triumph of Whig principles rendered certain. The Pcelametion of our final victory will, I trust, soon follew. The centre of the enemy’s army was broken in the battle-fields of Louisiana, North Carolina, Kentucky and Indiana. The shouts of anticipated victory ring in nearly every quarter where the enemy still lingers in the field. The Texan soap-bubble has exploded in the South, and has | ttered all who assisted in its formation. A friend tells me that a jolly-hearted son of the Green Isle of the Ocean, who arrived in this country during the present year, and who had visited some of Cur mighty mass meetings, declared that if a man were to judge by appearances only, Harry Clay would certainly be elected President of the United States; for he had heard bets of ten to one offered in favor, and no one had ventured to take them up. ‘ But,” he added, ‘I don’t believe be pe of it, and if { had a thousand guineas, I’d risk it all that Ould Kentucky will run him to the bridle bits, if he does not pass him at the winning- post; for there is pothing so much heard in the whole country as . “Clear the track for Ould Kentucky !’” Indeed, had we no Roonledgs of what is going on in other parts of the United States since the Presi- dential canvass opened,the appearances now around us would indicate a victory as overwhelming as it ears to be certain. And, first of all among the subjects of congratulation now to be seen in the midst ef us, behold the mothers and daughters of the Republic gathered together to do honor to the glorious cause, for the gupport of which we have this day assembled, hat an array of beauty and loveliness is now before us! | What whig heart is there that does not beat high with emotion, as the ladies, God bless them! appear this day, to honor us and to cheer us with their approbation. Such are the descendants of those who, in the days of the American Revolution, bound the wounds of the Whig soldier, and “while pain and anguish wrung his brow,” were as minister- ing angels te the suffering patriet. (Cheers.) On such an oceasion, and in the midst of such a display as this, may we not pause to inquire why it is that woman has condescended to leave her tran- quil retreat, and encourage us in the present strug- gle? Unused to scenes of violence, unaccustomed to controversy and strife, the high and holy in- stincts of her nature have taught her from inlancy that the strength of her influence over man, is in the silken cords of love and affection; and she now does not appear upon the arena asa political gladiator to do battle for us, but by her gentle pre- sence to restrain the fiercer passions of our nature, while inspiring us with the highest respect for, an the deepest devotion to, her rights and the rights of the country. In whatever assemblage of the fath- ers, the brothers, and the sons of the Republic, she may deign to appear, she comes not to promote strife, but to inculcate the sentiments of peace on earth and good will among men, But while she teaches this, the American matron is not unmind- ful of that other maxim, which she and her broth- ere, in times now long gone by, were taught by the mothers of the Revolution—that resistance to ty- rants is obedience to (iod, She has seen, in this our better day, the altars of pebhe and private faith desecrated by a faction which has denied the validity of contracts when it became inconvenient to comply with them ; and her native good sense has taught her, that, whenever it shall be establish- ed asa principle, that, the public honor can be trampled under foot with impunity—that a public debt solemnly contracted by a State may by that same State be repudiated and annulled ; that the faith of the representatives of the people, solemnly pledged to the corporate bodies by them created, may be broken at pleasure—then the distance will not be a measuring cast to that deep damnation, which will attend the utter abrogation of the mar- riage tie itself. She stands devoted to the faith of her fathers, unshaken by allthe new doctrines of the day, which tend to the subversion of social or- der and domestic happiness, as well as the abolition of all the consolations of our holy religion. With an arm weak as infancy in ruffian battle, and in- capable of defence, except as her innocence is shielded by the stout hearts and strong hands of her countrymen, who would die to honor and de- fend her, she stands now in the van of our host, and implores the God ‘ who holds the hearts of the people in the hollow of his hand,” to protect and assist those who aim to vindicate a cause in which she has so great a stake, and in which the dearest interests of her country are so deep- ly imvolved. Her presence here this day, is the surest guaranty we could have, that this mighiy, this enthusiastic Convention, shall be conducted with order and decorum. And I observe with joy, that the mere announcement of that guaranty is received by you as a just compli- ment, and a tribute to the chivalry of the American character, whicli, for its courtesy to women, has become proverbial throughout the world. Yes! amidst all those offences, with which we can, as Americans, justly charge ourselves, there is still this proud and honorable consolation left us—our national reputation for respect to the sex ; and he would lose his name and character as a true man, who world dare to lift his hand in anger, in the presence of a woman. Shall we, then, my coun- trymen, I ask yeu, shall we suffer the counsels of those to prevail, who seek to baaish woman from the presence ef man, while engaged in consulta- tion, as we are this day, on subjects of the highest and most exciting interest, both to her and us? No! We will welcome her presence on every such occasion as this, and we will not only protect her from insult, but with pride and gratitude, we will acknowledge the honor she has done (Great cheering.) My fellow citizens, that faith whieh binds the moral elements of the world to- gether, which joins in connection nations, socie- ties, and parties of men, was never more delibe- rately, never more shamefully violated, than by the Convention which nominated James K. Polk asa candidate for the Presidency of the United States. If their own party presses can be accredit- ed, in any thing, the. majority of their Convention attended it under instructions from those who sent them to vote for Martin Van Buren, of New York, who had, inthe most solema manner, pro- claimed to the world his utter hostility to a project then afoot, of immediately annexing Texas to the United States. How these instructions were viola- ted, how the cenfidence of those who deputed these agents to act for them was abused, how the faith these delegates owed their constituents was trampled under foot, how the sacred principle that | the majority shall govern, was spurned at and pros- trated, is too fresh in your recollection to need a recapitulation from me. | I have nothing to do with —indeed, as a whig, I take no interest in dwelling upon the mode and manner in which « palpable fraud was practised by one portion of that party upon another. But, as citizens, assembled to dis- cuss the principles of both parties, we have the right—and itis our duty to inquire what 1s the nature and character of that bond of union which binds together, and keeps within the magic circle of as if all were stricken with the epell of a wi- ‘men the most opposite, the most discordant, the most antagonizing views, interestsand feelings. What is that which yesterday riveted within that magic circle the large majority of that party who sent their delegates to Baltimore, instructed to vote for Martin Van Buren, who had denounced the pro- jected annexation of Texas, asa measure in viola- tion of the faith of treaties, and pregaant with na- tional dishonor; and yet which, to-day, still retains the same victims within that magic circle, spell- bound, to maintain and uphold, by the election of James K. Polk, that"same measure of annexation as now necessary to the glory and prosperity of the republic?) Why is it that the acquisition of Texas, whieh was wrong with Van Baren as a leader, be- came right upon the nomination of James K. Polk, and was immediately adopted as the ate the very Shibboleth of the party!% We naturally ask ourselves, when we think of these things, whether it can be true that these menregard the addition of the whole territory proposed to be annexed, com- prehending the vast region between the Sabine and the Rio Bravo, a country more than six times as ‘large as all Peay ‘a8 a measure cf such small importance that no principle worthy of con- ‘sideration is involved in it? Not so—not so, We know that Mr. Van Buren held the exposition of his own views of this mighty theme, due alike to ‘his own character, and to those who purposed to support him—an indispensible pre-requisite to enti- ie him to the suffrages of the nation. After hie letter on this subject appeared, a majority ot the convention still voted for him, and throughout the vast non-slaveholding regions of our country, as well as in other portions of it, the admiration of his parti still “whooped alter him,” and their praises, count of his opposition to Texas, con- tinued to be sounded, until the moment when they learned that the majority had been beaten in theit Democratic convention, that their own will had been baffled and defeated by a trick and a strata- gem, and that a man decidedly hostile to every sentiment on this subject which they had ever teltYor feigned, was now a can- didate for those honors which they had designed statesman down. In that for one #0 infinitely inferior respect as was James K. Polk, of Tennessee, there was no thought of you or your inheritance! Your statesman jorth of Mason and Dixon’s line to make a He lived too near the for another. ‘The same convention which nomina- him and espoused his principles by a, solemn ation, ;at the same time no- a i New York, as Vice President, the intimate and known friend of the a known opponent resolution of appr minated Silas first rete free trade President ' i ok Soe ee See paces wee 7} e Pennsy! wor! . He owns tations, and ke would not, like the y time gotwenty yards 3 had discarded, the ‘measure of annexing Texas n Es had, bu. a few days be- fore that, distinguished himselt in the Senate of the United States by his unqualified hostility to the prin- ciples of Mr. Polk on this whole subject. True it is that Mr. Wright, when he received intelligence pt to degrade him by such a nomina- 'y, if not indignantly, repudiated all h it, declined the unnatural and mon- strous alliance, and has even gone 80 far as to as- sign, among his reasons for rejecting such a coali- hat his name had not been presented for the office—thus stinging the ad- r. Polk to the quick, by reminding them of the course which others ought to pursue who were in the same category. before us, the question naturally recurs—what can be that bond of union upon which the convention that made these nominations could have relied to hold the party together? Wasit principle? If so, what was thatprinciple? Was it the annexation of Texas which ied them to Baltimore? It so, what was the meaning of the vote of the majority for Van Buren? and whut was the meaning of the normina- i Was it the object of the conven- tion to deteut the monstrous project of immediate- ly annexing, at the expense of national dishonor resulting from the violation of national faith, a ter- ritory to our beloved country, six times the area ot the mighty state of Pennsylvania? Ifso, why did they nominate Mr. Polk, the prompt, the uncondi- tional, the swittly willing and anxious advocate of that very measure? And why did they interpolate into their own party creed their famous resolution, which made the immediate anne the ground work of their whole system of policy, and the unerring test of their political faith? Let any honorable man of this self-styled Democratic party review all these thingsin the cool of the day ; and as the political kaleidoscope of his party con- vention presents new forms and figures, new prin- ciples and different objects of national policy, as unlike each other as demons of darkness and an- gels of light, as distant from, and as opposite to, each other as the poles, let him decide for himself whether those who dared to propose each and all of these in turn for his a) worthy of his confidence. ! with me, that it was an insult to his understand- ing and to all his pride of personal character, to have supposed him so tied to a party name as to be capable of being thus bandied about like a foot- leasure ; and spurn the idea ibsolved from all obligation to sustain party nominations proceeding trom men so ably prepared to adopt a new principle or to sa- ice an old one, as often as it should be found (Mr. Clayton here alluded to an unjust war with Mexico as the consequence of annexing Texas, and in a powerful appeal show- ed how hazardous and dishonorable such a war would be.] Indulge me next in the brief consider- ation of another question, which must be decided, and, perhaps, torever settled, by the a presidential election. It is one of such t terest to every true American heart, that wherever it is rightfully understood, it absorbs and swaliows up all other minor issues. comes to the business and bosoins of all men among us who seek to obtain an honorable living by honorable means. If our experience as a nation has demonstrated anything, it is the wisdom—yea! the absolute necessity—of protecting our own home labor—the labor of all men who live and move, and have their being on our own Ameri whether they be native or naturalized. rt °s suffering during those fatal years which preceded August 30, 1842, when the present whig tariff was enacted for our relief, is et fresh in your memories.
