iy NEW YOR —_ i ———— nn an The fciends of Genera! Z.chary Taylor, and those favorable to electing him to the Presidency, met last eveniog at Military Hall, in the Bowery, for the purprss o* hearing 92 addrees from Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, who wes invited to address the meating. The atten- dance was rather limited. General Lioyd was called to the ohsir, and Mr Jordan offlsiated as Secretary, A‘ter the reading of en address by the Independant Rough and Ready Club to the people of this State, Mr. Cassius M. CLiy wigintroduced to the meeting, and spoke asfollows: ~ Fellow Citizens of New York —While on the ore hand Tacknowledgs with great hum'lity th» distinguished hover you bave done e,in the complimentary manner fa which you have reorived me, on the other hand | feel. from the few marks of dirapprobstion which have greeted me that I ought with great reluctance to in- teude mys+]fupon # New York audience, as indeed I do I come not here to plead for myself, or to seek applause from you 02 my own behalf. I present myself before you asncimple individual, backed by no party, animated only by a zl for the good of my country, to speak on behalf of thet glorious old soldier whose name ond fame kave been the signal for calling Us together this night (Great applause) From my earlieet youth I have bsen attached to the whig party. Not that all my opinions bavs always been fully and adequately repressnted by all the avowed op'nions of tbat party, but I ever voted with it, gave it my f-eble support. and ardently always wished for ite success, knowing and feeling that in matters of party it {¢ hest to be united with the purest—with that whioh comes nesrest to our own views of right, and which has most at heart the welfare of the country; w! at the tame time it is necessary to yield something of our own opinions for the sake of the benefit of our beloved coun- try. {t may. perhaps, be known to some of you that ia the late whig convention of Kentucky, General ‘Taylor had the same support for the nomination te the Presidenoy given to spother distingutahed candi date That couvention rupported General Taylor as a whig—not, Indeed, on ultra whig, but as dooming him to be tho beet, ths mest avoilable, the most honest the trent man whom they could » Hum- bio as Lam. yet my feeble effor! ers, he ped to carry tho msjority of the party in that State in favor of General Taylor, and to lend to the nomination of dietinguirbed hero’ [did not then denounce oth procl«iming my preference for him, noz do I ceme here now with eny Intention of denowncing other indi- vidusle; but Iclnim, and all 1 demand is, thet which is the right of every freeman, vis :—Freedom of thought and opinion, amd freedom to utter my thoughts nnd opinions’ boldly and froely. (Great applause ) Yea, sir, woen the freedom of speaking and writing one’s thoughts has at length penetrated even to the dark receuses of Austrin, I cannot believe that the camr freedom will not ba granted and acknowledged in free Ame! I, therefore, come boldly before the citixens of th great republic, and claim thi attention in speaking on the subject of the candidate for the next Yresidenocy, When last] had the honor of addressing you, it wsa on the question of the annexation of Texes to our Union. But now other and different issues are before the country. Let us turn our attention for a mo- ment to icquire among the old issues which lately di- vided the country, what real issue which past days the party questions and ismues have been, the quertion of the lund bill, that of the tariff, the bank, and the qasstion of internal improvements. Ex- cept, perhaps, upon the latter, on which they were Givided among themselves, the democratic party hae been egainst all these questions. It is not my inten- tion now to discuss any one of tham; but I shall be por- mitted to say that they have become, at best, the greater part of them, “obsolete ideas.” Oa tha greatest of them, which most ofall at one time agitated the country, | am only qaoting one of the greatest and ablest of our states- men, {call the bank question an ‘obso- lete idea” On these questions, now, parties are united aud amalgamated; they have ceased to be objects of po- litical conteution; the question of internal improve- ment, may be considered # national question; and there- foro, in fact, the only great issue, the only great ques- tion, before the country, is the g: priocipie ofhuman liberty which has recently taken a new and vigorous stert in the old countries of Europe | stand, myself, in a eomewhat peoulisr attitude “as to both the par. ties which divide the opinions of our country. | went against the annexation of Texas, when the question was before the country. But when it war termiaated, and whem the war commenced, | took my stwed betweem tho parties; opposed originally to the policy which lod to the war, when ic burst forth, | heai- tated not, but joined my country, right or wro: and eopported the war against the common enemy. (Ap- iauee) For this I bave been denounced—for this | ave been attacked, because | have not continued to act support to its fo ter the theory of our republican institutions, end thet is, that the mejority should rule; and if this principle of our government be fol- not lowed and aeted upon, y and our political ruin must be the consequence. When, therefere,the coun try is engaged in war, in flegrant Slvgrante bel when th of our fellow countrymen is being shed— then ig m for party to oppose the will of the m_-jority, and stand aloof in the dangers of the country; bui on the contrary, then it is the duty of every patriot to put bis shoulder to the wheel, to aid,to support. to fi, ht for his country. and to bury im oblivion all bis ob. jections, which he might before have had to the leading causes cf the war (Rapturot plause) In tais jirit, andin this yiew, | acted.

Again, in the uncqual representation, independent of the black basis, the constitution was viotated in the anwexationef Texas Again, the prinoi- ple of liberty and law was violated by the presidentiai ect. Although you mayseay, by taking Texas we be- came party to the war, and Mexico hada perfect right te defend hervelf, yot if we had not become tive aggres: sors, the matter could Dave been retitled But instead of that, Mr. Polk sent an army beyond any limits of Texas that could be claimed. It was not pretended that there was any Hate to Texas but that of conquest, and this even did not extend beyond the Nueces. Ip marohing sn army beyond that, and planting oan. non on tue Rio Grande, we made an aggressive attack on the Mexicans, because we went beyond the border of Texas, supposing even she was independent, and was rightfully admitted into the Union. I say, therefore, the democratic party now im power violated these “ principles, and of course in determining who should fill the offico of President these things should b» borne in mind If the President in power can be shown to have done sll these things, [ do sey that he should be forced out, and anothar put in who will act according to the constitution General ip hoa ie that mau. 1¢ seems to me the administration should be beld responsible for this, and aiso for the miserable manner in which the war was conducted after it was commenced Generrl lor was ordered to the Rio Grande while there war ge ferceopposed to hia When we an surrounded end cut off from his com: administration to throw the res] d proved that Alto, 1 would fe been supposed that the ad miluistration would have tal plens for the foture, but the battle of the eigh! y Was not followed up unti!

There was a ge imy’s country by tho President of the United States, with enarmy of four thousand seven hundred men, bsfore an army of twenty thousand, officered by one of the ublest generals of the age, or at least by the ablest which Mexico effurded. On that ccoaston, he received a lotter from Gen, Scott, who acted as the organ of the atmioistration, withdrawing from him his forces, to which he made his celebrat answer. Myr, Clay then read Gan. Taylor's letter, in which he said he feared the confidence of the admtalstration was withdrawn from him, but he was determined to do his duty, which letter is familiar to the public, and need not be repeated here- You may talk of military commandere—you moy say you do not want a mero seldier. General Taylor hes proved himself in te painful position in which he was placed by the Injustice of the government, more by far than a mero roldier. Where in all bistory will you find on example of firmness, determination and self-rellance, greater than that exbibited by the brave old man when ho waa thus left, abandoned, ssorifced his gi verpment, and all bis forces taken away from him ) felt the truth of this position, I felt when I lay ja & dungeon, in wretchedaess and politude, among yormin, and ail the sufferings of the moat cruel inprisonment ~ then, inderd. | felt how the brave old ge- eraland all who were left with him bad bean cruelly roerfeed by the government of the Usited States. | {out destroyed ,as weil as the brave old hero, by this con- Guot of thegovermment, | trembled for the consequemees; but, thank God, my hopes revived ; we were saved by the vigor, talent, and self-reliance of Gensral Tsylor, when at Buena Vista he defeated Santa Anna with bis ho t of slavos at his back, and thus averted the ruin which the conduct of the government had prepared for allofus. Then it was General Taylor evinced s prudence & self-reliance, and virtue, equal to Wasbinaton him- self, then lie nebly triumpned on the plains of Bue Vista, with the soldier citis who remained at bis side; and who | roved themselves equal to the best of troops under such a commander. (Great applause) Yes, he great civilia course and conduct. It was for this reason the govera- ment stripped him of his troops, and left him deatitute and exposed to almost certain ruin He was become too great a man for them, and therefore they brought for- ward Gn, Soott. And he, too, soon bycame too great @ man for them And how did they 4 him? In the same way they {rewarded General Taylor, with ignominy, disgrace and contempt!

He is he takes Washi: free from ail such trammele; nag his guido, and the good of his country the polar star of his policy and con- duct. (Great applause) It has been objected against General Taylor that he is no party maa. Let us exam ine this question. If it be found that ho is a time server, place hunter, a truckling politician, | am opposed to him; but if he is s no party man, so for as he has no conccalments, lam for him. After leving these ex- traordinary victories, he rises up without a rival in the affections of the people, and was voted a candidate b allparties The most ultra whig presees of the Sout! seid that he must not be nominated asa party man. Let him, said the New Orleans Picayune, be the candi- date ef the com. Under this view, General Taylor very naturally said he would attempt, if elected, to ad. minister the government on constitutional princi. ples. But did he make any attempt to concesl or hold back? No. While he gave a pledgo in this way, be said he was whig, but not an ultra whig. Is not that enough? Do you not want a man who would advocate the rights of the minority as well as those of the msjority. If you wantsuch aman, General Taylor is he. Jf you want a man who believes that the spoils belong to the victors, that the government was made for the President, and not the President for the people, you must take some other man than General Taylor, for he will not play the part of a partizau. But,say a portion of the whig party, how ia he on such and such mea- suret! As I said before, two of them are obsolete. T' tariff question by the necossity of the case, isat re and on that there cannot be much difference of opinion With regard to interna\'improvements, without designing to speak for General Taylor, I believes he agrees with the mojority of the people, on the necessity and consti- tutionally of internal improvements. On this ground, then, there is no diderencs of opinion, why is it = then that’ these men can’t take him.’ Slavery can be the only question between anion that question we find the whigs and divided, whole States taking different sides subject 1 know nothing ef General Taylor’: Permit me, however, to say, that I am satis! him asheis. H aye he will follow the exampl Washington—h bow to the people—that Washing. toa would be his guide. What may { infer from that? Wasbington was an antisiayery man Go to the records and you will see it. The men who were around him carried out the crdiuance of 1789, that should not exist. went further, and said t! it. I, therefore, Taylor cannot consent that in n: rritory black slavery shall exist to shut out the emigration of whites from the free States. | know @ portion of the North attempt to create a prejudice sgainst General Taylor on the ground that he is FO-Alay. deny it. I say that the stre which sesses in the South and Southwest, is entirely im- dependent of that question. They have taken him up there from the highest principles of gratitude —because he was oppressed by the government of the United States- mus attempt was made to check hia popularity— because he protected them and their families, [t 19 the war sympathy which sustains him, and not pro-elavery sentiments. They felt with General Taylor, that while the war going on, every mac should put his shoulder to the wheel They have no men, who, while the blood of their owing, denounced them and the war and gave couatenauce to theencmy. I have run over the principsl issues which {| conceive are involved in the next Presidential canvass As I said before, | do not believe thas any a can bsociecied without some degree of party organisation. The nds of Gen Tay lor will be compelied to throw their votes foy some one of tho regular nominees. | have been invited to address my fellow-citizens. and [ have dons #0, and I would go to Tammany Hall if invited If! can bring the people to believe with me that there ought to be a change, and thet General Taylor is the man to fill the Presidency, | will try to persuade them toelect him. General Taylor is aot a mere soldier. He isin every conse of the word a man. I bave heard since | came to this city, that if he wore elected he would not conduct the Presidency witn dignity ; that he had no polish ; that he Led not the ad dress which should belong to the Chier Magistrate of thr United States. But what kind of an argument is this to be put forth in a republic? He does not dress so finely as some of ths politicians of the country do; but he has the sentimonte of true respectability, which rate a man according to his merits, and not according to the cut of hie coat. Although he drinks coffee out of a tin cup, read his letters and sec if he has not « classical mind Ark those who have seen him, what they say of him—if he is not @ true gentleman. All who as sociate with him come sway with feelings of love towards bim; and I would be unjust to myself to deny that one great reason woy I go forbim is, boause I Jove him -hecause he isa man and a gsutie- man Hes rough; but he is roady—the great mass 0: the people are rough, but if you look abroad you will ses that there isin ths breasts of the rough men as much patriotie, good feeling and trus genttity as there ix in the courte und palaces of foreign countries If he isnot gentleman, then the great mass of the people gentlemen.’ But you will sympathize with hi teach those who think he is not s gentleman, t! this country to bes true mau is the test of merit ; and in all time to come let them tike oouraze that he who is true and honest, will reoeive the hi of the country.
