He said—I return you my hearty thanks for this honest demoretration of your feelings.

Buppose the democracy had not m the opposite ground, and suppose they had gone, same direction as the whigs, in regard at would have been the consequence, with the men of the South coming up to battle wich their exasperated Irgions!

Cony, Esq, of Ohio, then rose and addressed the multitude as follows :— ‘The result in Ohio and Pennsylvania prover that the whig party is disbanded, and the old party iesues are for the present settled. It will, therefore, be profitable for this meeting to bear a short explanation the resolu- tions of the committee on our exterual relations.

It might not be hazardous to hold that within ten years, with no viclent change in buman affairs. the topnege of the United States will be equal to that of all the world. But there will be a change, and tbat not remote, which forbids any such prediction, Our shipping interest demands greater attention than it bas yet received from the government. We should en- deavor to secure with all nations perfect reciprocity of trade, and the abrogation of ail discrimixating duties on cargoes and tonnage. of which there are flagrant instances, Gur commerce witu France and England is now greater than either of them has with the other, although neigh- bore and the richest of all nations, With France it would not be impossible to introduce great changes of her tariff system. She is ® sister republic, and, in spite of adverse circumstances, our ancient ties to her splendid people will lead to that close intumacy and commerce which the value and difference of products demand. ‘The modification of fifty per cent in the United Scates tariff of 1846,0n important French articles. authorizes us to expect a corresponding alteration. But neither Bogland nor Fravce will remain in their present pori- tion. ‘The English change will be to our injury, because for a short season it will be # triumph of the tory policy ‘The navigation laws will be modified, and the land- owner ecmpensated at the expense of the people for the reductionof rent, which must take place The French charge, on the contrary, will be highly beneficial to us.

They dare not attribute it to the republican form of government, for that teaches the eovereignty of the people—that the government is their creature and governors their agents--that tney can set up or pull down the constitution, and that their welfare is the only true object of government. In chort, the converse of the whole monarchical system is laid down in the Declaration of Independer: monarchs of Europe attribute our prosperity to the religious char. acter of the people, or to the remoteness of America from Burope, or to the Anglo-Saxon race, or to the sparseness of population and abundance of iand. They say that to some or all of these causes we are indebted for what we are. On the contrary. it is to none of these, but it isto cur demooratic repubiicanism—to our sys- tem of government, State and Federal, bared upon the foundations of universal suffrage and universal eligibilit: to office. It we had here either oligarchy, as in England, constitutional monarchy, as in ‘ie or beige a ‘4s in Russia, Prussia and Austria, we should still re occupied the briny strip of land which shirts the At- lar tie ocesn—we should have been a feeble people. We sheuld have passed through the same puling infancy which bas been the curse of the States of Europe; und centuries bence we might have boasted the same de- erepitude. We should be zealous overmuch if we claimed that the disproy ion of religion here and elsewhere explained the difference of our po- litical and secial condition, It is not any expla nation at all to attribute our superiority to that cause. It is equally untrue that the remoteness of Europe from America has anything to do with the suc- cessful working of democratic institutions. The distance bas shrunk to nothing, avd all Europe is here in the flesh of millions of emigrants. As to the Anglo-Saxon race. those apceryphal superiors among men, they are oply one single ingredient of our population, which ia an American mixture of all the races descended from Eve and Adam. Nor will it do to attribate this pros- perity to abundance of land—for there is Russia, owner of a fourth of the world, and the paltriest speclmen of rnment in existence, an Autocrat lording it over a wighted horde of slaves, and siaves of slaves, The Awcricans know better the foundation of our strength. It comes from the mass of the people, without whose — caste will always corrupt and individuals tray. We have infused inte everything the ia- tegrity and wisdom of the whole peopie, and wo have thus exciuded the predominance cf any section. We have located the action cf universal suffrage within smeil limits, and we consult it eften about who shall hold office, and whether the laws shall be continued cr new laws be made, and eve oor man’s child is eligible to the Presidency. ‘e have not consoli- dated into few bands at a great capital, a government of many milliora of people and infiuite extent of territory; but ‘the Union presents a confederation of sovereign States. beginning with thirteen and now embracing thirty-one, under a aystem which does not impair ths independence of any, while it is capable of indefinite extension. This two-fold system is the pallatium of Americon liberty, the secret of American greatness. ‘The States are rubdivided gener: into little district controlled by universal vote. and the confederation is arimple assembiage of] these States in such a way as to inrure equality of rights and legisiation within, and au undivided front without. by means of a feder: era mett. It is not only to correct an error about our system thet these explanstiens are given, but ic is to recommend the rame system for the European edifice about to be constructed on the ruins of the present. The democratic republican form of government, is the only one, now, by which say thing eteble can be made to succeed the impending revolution Men are called upon en masse to do the fight- ing, and they will do it a thousand times better, if they are called up en masse to the baliot-box after the battle, to choose and be chosen for office. When the separate States are orgenized on universal suffrage and on the American model, then the German coafederatioa can be constructed without apy difficulty. There is nothing to do but to transplant our f system into the heart of Europe. Germany has the samo divemities of soil and climate, of tongue and race, of creed and tchool, as the United States. Bhe is divided into several nationalities, intersected by rivers. snd bounded also by seas and lakes and mountains She is as well adaptei as we for the system of coufederation, of sovereign states and universal suffrage.
