Now, gentlemen, you who support Ge- neral ‘Taylor, ‘have abandoned the platform on which you stood in 1844; and you dare net now tay that the principles which then met with your cordial concurrence and support, are those which influence our conduct now.’ Will any supporter of General ‘aylor say, that the came principles to which he ad- hered when he supported Clay in 1844, are those b: which he is now influenced? Those-were the princi- ples, however, which Clay unfurled on his banner, and ‘Lhose were the principles which laid himlow.

Loud calls were then made for’Butler and Culver, whieh were eventually silenced by the latter gentle- man presenting himself to the meeting. .Mr. Cunver then congrutulated the assembly on the enthusiasm which animated. them, All parts of the country were thoroughly alive te the importance of the question which formed the issue of this struggle. Maine and Maryland, Khode leland and Virginia, Ohio and Delaware, were all engaged in a holy rivalry to promote its success, (Cheers.) What was the bond which brought them together and pro- duced such a gushing of feelings of the heart as was to be witnessed at this assembly? It was the deter- mination to wipe away the stain from the standard of this ‘great republic. and to promote the liberty and welfare of man, (Cheers.) The [power of the South hed too long been submitted to, and be was glad to see thet they had now something moro than janks and tariffs and currency in their political con- tests. This was not the first time, however, that he felt strongly on this subject, as Preston King, who feared neither thunder nor Southern. wind, could tes- tify. (Laughter.) There were dit t political seo- tions, however,engaged in this one isi he hoped that however far they might differ on some points, they would all start off like thunder as far as they went together. (Laughter ) . If they did. they might rest assured that the South could not resist their com- bined movement. (Cheers.) There was a class of men who talked much of the constitution on this question. John C. Calhoun, for instance, was of opivion that slave property was the only roperty which the constitution really took under ts epecial protection; and he said it with all the sang teri of & Connecticut schoolmaster, (Laughter.) ‘Now where, he would ask, wou!d they find the constitu- tion saying that slavery ought to exist . To talk toa Virginian on this question, one would ima- reat dempa Of the constitution was to enable him to cateh a runawayslaye. (Laughter.) He denied, however, that this was a fair construction of the constitution. The constitution always spoke of the slaves a8 “persons,” and never cou.- lated kéop. ing any ion of the human race in perpetual bond- age. (Cheers) But when so much is said of the con- stitution, he wondered if it ever occurred to these gen- tlemen, that the constitution guarantied a free press, free speech, and the right of petition. When this last wes questioned and was defended by that great man, to whom reference had been made, Gi Q. Adams.) they might remember that the South threatened to expel him from the Legislature; but the old man stood firm and erect sgainst the waves of opposition that dashed against him, and boon they broke over him with vio- Jence, he remained undaunted and unshaken amid all their fury. (Loud cheers.) When my friend from Ohio, (Mr, Giddings,) made a similar stand, some time ago, they took away his credentials and refused to re- cognise his right to a seat; manifested feelings which ‘stood out in strange contrast with the new-born at- tachment which they now so ardently professed for the constitution.

When-the ‘people of Paris raised the Dwrricades against the Bourbons; when they drove out Charles the Xtb, there was one, who, though he might not have broken bis sword, (laughter) shed his blood in behalf of his country, and put himself at the head of the people of Paris. “That man was Louis Philippe! He was the firet republican king the French people and, in all likelihocd, he would be the last, proclaimed the charter granted by Louis the 18th, and which Charles the 10th promised to sup- port, but subsequently violated, to be a truth; and upon that engagement did the confiding Parisians elect him toathrone, It was found, however, that the fuith co plighted war never intended to be kept, and nothing remained for the people cf Paris but to re-erect the barricades, and win back the power which had been so thamefully abused. They all knew what effect this had produced throughout Europe; and from what was going On, it almost appeared as if the spirit had passed over to them. (Chvers.) It was not, however, for the urpose of alluding to the laudations of this monarch by General Cass, that induced him to refer to this subject. He might, indeed, overlook that, if it could be attributed only to bad taste. He could overlook, also, the bad taste which thy General lately exhibited at Washington, with regard to his hero; and from whom he received the most cordial hospitality at the Chateau d’Neuilly. He did believe, however, that Lewis Cass ought not to be the first man to rejoice at the ex- pulsion of the aged king from France ; the more espe- cially, as be had bestowed such great encomiums on him When in the plentitude of his power, and had par- of one of Christy's pathetic molodies, obliged to take their notes “By do light ob dé moon.’ We could not ascertain the. name of their first aker, but the gentleman was a determined foe to had a repugnanee to the mention, of the Baltimore ‘onvention, and sought every opportunity to show that Martin Van Burén, of Kindeerhook, is the great- est man for the negro and for the Irish on this side of the marshes and vast lakes in New Mexico. He said he thought it necessary to explain the object of the meeting, Which he did; and to convince them that the fiee soil men are the democratic party, they have entered this contest for the Presidency with their motto emblazoned on their flag, and that motto was victory or death, no surrender, no compromise. (Hur- rah for Cass‘and Butler from some one in the crowd.§ He was glad to hear that cheer for General Cass, and if there was any one present who is intdre enough to call on the ghost of that gentleman, he would ‘have no objections to his doing so, and to stop talking for ten minutes, while he worshipped him. (Laughter, and cheers for Casa and Butler.) We have men in our midst who have led the democratic party injtimes past to victory; and kcicrty eo in consequence of changes in the political world, he, who is now the candidate of the free soil. party, has been once defeated, we know he was defeated by that slave power which we are now contending against.— (Applause—but faint) He has been stricken down by the South—-by intrigue ; but the strong atm of the peovle will lift him up again, higher than ever.
