It isa restoration of the principles of Thomas Jefferson, a re enactment of ‘those celebrated resolutions of Virginia and Kentucky, xpounded by their illustrious authors, Jefferson and | Mudison which seved the constitution from construstive obliteration, and the Union of confederate and sovereign States from the crushing weight of a consolidating cen- | ‘tral power.

(Loud cheers.) “And, gentlemen, I congratulate myself that I can be present upon this occasion; for although it is true that the result of this recent election has con- ferred upon me a highly honorable office, yet this circumstance in itself 18 co unimportant in comparison with the great principles which we have established, that I do not regard it asa matter of indelicacy, on my part, to participate with you upon this occasion. (Loud cheers.) More than this, gentlemen, I have deemed it Proper, at the late election, to break over that custom which has hetetofore prevailed on the part of those who have been placed in nomination for the office of Governor of this great®State; but I have addressed public meetings within almost every portion ofits limits. I have deemed it, gentlemen, not only proper but by duty to stand be- fore my democratic friends, in every portion of the State of New Youk, for the purpose of addressing them upon the great questions involved in the late political conteet. (Cheers.) If my prin- ciples ‘were wrong, the people have » right to know them. If they were right, then they might support me, not a3 aman but a person who should be regarded as a fair and a just exponent of their principles (Cheers ) And itis, gentlemen. that contiderstion that makes us rejoice in the victories which we have achieved. On our art it has been a contest of principle (Loud cheers ) ‘e do not meet upon this occasion to rejoice because we have triumphed orer the whig party. but because we as for ourselves, in the establishment of just and sound principles of gevern- (Gheers.) ° I have had an opportunity of address- ing our fellow citizens on frequent occasions, and in almost every part of our State during the late elections— amid the bills of the Highlands, eanctified as they are by tho recollections of revolutionary triumphs, in the centre of New York, in its western boundaries, in which flovriching cities have grown up as it by magic; and wherever I have been, I have found the members of the democratic party actuated by one common sentiment in this contest, and that they were contending for sound political principles, (Cheera.) I felt that they were to triumph, because they were right, and because we | Wereendeayoring to bring back eur government to ths practice of its earlier and better days, and because we were contending for constitutional law, and endeavoring toaseert the necersity for islative purity.

I. gentlemen, have no reepect for that practice. (Cheers.) I know no reason why any man who is placed in nom‘na- tion should not freely exprese his sentiments; and if there i any one with!n the sound of my voice who supposes that this business of being Governor to the State of New York is a matter of such peculiar dignity, that it is becoming bim who is placed a nomination to wrap himself in mys- tery and reserve. I can assure you all that when you come to be placed in nomination for that office, you will find it no sucl great thing. (Cheers.) And. if you ould, be particularly complatsanut upon that ‘cocaddon. it least arsure you that, if it“ should be your for- tune, as it was mine, to be very soundly beaten in such a contest, the conecit will be most thoroagbly taken out of (Laughter.) Now, gentlemen. as I said before, ind If rejoice, because I regard the resu't the Inte election as a triumph of principle Ido not effect to be indifigrent to its result, as affectin, myself. 1 certainly am gratified, aud I certainly fee! ‘we rejolc | myself under the decpost otligations to the democrats of the State of New York, andparticularly to the democra- cy of the city of New York, for the kind and cordial ‘support which they have given me, as | well as the other nominees, upom ‘he recent oc | cation. (Cheers.) I feel it right. gentlemen, to ex- prees to you, upon that account, mot because it was a matter of high moment whether I was elected Governor of this State, or Washington Hunt, or any other indi- vidual, but it is with me as a worthy Indy sald of Ki } tt ch Charles, when his head was cut off, it was not so mu as regards the heed, but it was the lose of him, poorman. | So it is with me upon this occasion, although I suppose the matter is of very little consequenee to particular in- | dividuals elected to office, yet it is proper that I | should so far allude to personal considerations as to return you my most sincere thanks for the cordial efficient snd triumphant manner in which the demo- cratic party have sustained the nominations for the State, ae well as for the general nominations, (Cheers ) Thad the honcr of being one of the delegates who repre- sented the State of New York in the late Baltimore Con- vention, and when the nomination was made—when the thousand delegates who represented the different States of this great nation shouted forth the name of Franklin Pierce and the five thousand democrats in attendance thunder- ed forth their applause.and when the inquiry in that vast ascemblage was, ‘W. will New York do?” it was my | privilege. ar one ofthe delegates, to announce the vote of | the majority of that delegation for Pierce and King, and to assure that convention that, at this election, New York would give its vote for the democratic nomincee, and shat the nominee o! the Baltimore Convention should be supported whoever ho migot be. I told them that heretofore we hed been distracted and divided by Cissensions, and I promised them that all these eifficulties should be healed, and that it should be with us as it was with the Red cea, when it was divided by the strong winds of heaven, and returned again to overwhelm Pha raoah in its returning flood; that the union of the democratic party in this State, should show to our | democratic friends elrewhere, that New York was sub- stantislly democratic and thit we had the power, and that we would exercise that power to the overwhelming of our pelitical oppcnents at this election. (Loud cheers ) That promise, which I made upon your behalf, and on the behalf of the democracy of this Empire State.

We have shown that we | could not only give our vote for the democratic nomi noes. but it is our proad boast that the democratic State | ot New York has given for Franklin Pierce and William Rufus King, a larger majority than has been given by evy other State in this Union, (Loud cheers ) Ii ie proper for me to allude to one aspect of this cam- paign, because it is one full of interest, and beoaxse it shows that the triumph which we have achieved we bave achieved literally, and by virtue of the sentiments that wvaded the masees of the great pariy in our State It been thought, because the ltading democrats have been active, and because the press bas been more serviceable than usual — although it has been most zeslous in our behalf -- that we are to attribute this triumph tothem., This not so, It bas been because the masses of the dem cratic party. upon this occasion, have shown mor than usval foterest in the election, and that they ap preciate the great principles that characterize our part; ge And, without designing to make any invi- ious remarks—without designing in disparagement of the democratic party. what I should say that we are particularly indebted tothe young members of the democratic varly which we have achieved (Cheers.) AndI wi as my sentiment, in responee to the flatteri bas been read to you by your chairman, cratic Union Olub, of the city of New York.” During the preeent contest they have been not only active, but vigi- lant; and the spirit of barmony which they have evinced upon all occasions is the surest, tee of our success sgainst our political opponents. (Loud cheers.) The Cuarmman responded on behalf of the Democratic Union Club of the city of New York in a neat and ap- propriate speech, and then gave the apt toast :— Our Mayor Elect—The architect of his own fortunes.

In 1798 the doctrines of Jefferson had thrown out the principles of true construction, amd it required the genius of Jeffereen to bring order out of the political chacs. He (the spcaker) knew nothing so clear ,and comprebensive as Jeffercon’s inaugural of 1801. It was as remarkable as the “Declaration of Iudependence,” from the saame inspired pen. The democracy had always re- gerded the propositicns of Jeflercon as a summary of their principles. and he might claim that the ¢emocracy had always hastened to repair every wrong in the ad ministration of the government. But their opponants had done otherwiee. They ¢the whigs) did not look to economy or regard industiy, but adopted the plan of ta king almost every kind of industry under the government control. ‘The democracy had made 20 secret of the opinions of their candidate for tho Presideney. In river and harbor districts he {jhe speaker) had said that he believed that Gen, Pierce was Ergo to a general and indiscriminate use cf the publle moneys. He had stated in the manu- facturing districts that he was opposed to @ protective tariff, and that his admivistration would be a practical exporition of the New England principle of fragality in the use of the public money, He had only one wish to express ip reference to the incoming administration— that it would stand up against the meroonary apirit sur- rounding the capital and bring back the government to the Jefferronian principal.

The Cuamman then proposed the sixth regular toast :— Our Union—New and forever —one and ins>parale—s10ul der to shoulder our democratic brethren throughout the country marched forward to the contest, feeling that upon the reeult depended the safety and pormauenoy of our inati- tutions. ‘Their exertions have cemented still closer the Londs which unite us in one common brotherhood.

Never had #0 wonderful an illustration of what can be accomplished by pure principle been shown in the world, as had been just done in this State. The Union had been, at first, {formed and made democratic in its character and ten. dencies. ‘The republic had since become the first power of the nations of the globe. It is but afew years since this great edifice of democracy had been erected, which Dow threatens monaroby wherever it exlets. But little more than seventy ther bave elapsed since our separa- tion from Great Britain—seven years they had fought a doubtful contest. and then they established articles of confederation, which gave them no etanding whatever, but left, the thirteen confederate States each struggling it maybe, for the ascendancy. Neorssity made thom join for self-defence, and then the constitution was born, but it was far from achieving all, because there they stood, two organizations in the country, one leanbng to- wards monarchy, and the other towards democracy. (Cheers.) Where is now that old federal party? It is gone, dead and buried, and none of {ts relatives will dare to be seen as mourners at its funeral. (Cheers) An- other party bad taken up its cause, and carried on a quer: rilla warfare with the democratic party. The constitu- tion established. the democratic party immediately tock ground on its question of construction ‘There was, first, the administration of Washington, and then the administration of Adams, and then it was doubtful whe. ther the people of the United States would ever rise to Position among the nations of the earth. But ia nit of cratic party rested. and when these principles failed the yarty Would fall; but they would last as long as the country itself endures. The war of 1812 was oppored by the monarchists, but here, ia Tammany Hall. wae-formed a party who inscribed on thoir banner “ free trade end sailors’ rights.” and dared to incur a contest with Great Britain—dared everything, for the mainte mance of the constitution, whether on land or om the Ocean. (Cheers.) And later again, he had but to look across the way to the torn banner presented to tho Mexi- car regimen;, now all riddled with shot, and hung up with Washington's banner asa memento of the patriot ism of the democratis apy —(cheers)—and he had but to look at that grand belt of the country, extending fcom the Atiantic to the Pacific, to reflect that in despite of the contumely heaped on a nai man. taken up by the demceratic party in 1844 they now sawa broad high way open to the Pacific, that whole nations may travel théreon without fear of losing their way, (Cheers.) And he had but to look at the spevtacle of their navy ailing on every sea, and bearing with them, es their defender, that banner which floats above them in every cont (Cheers) Where- ever the stars and stripes are seen, there the ships of their city and country float in safety. The Union has been maintained and defended by the democratic party: He would ask if the union of the democratic party should be left out in the consideration of the Union of the country? That union which his friend (Mr. John Van Burep) had supporte¢é—that union made of working men —that union of the humble, before which the union of the mighty had disrolved like mist before the sun— ehall it not be cemented and maintained? He was pleseed that, to-night, that union had been consum- mated by the Young Men’s Democratic Union.

They had served their time, and were to be whistled on the wind. never more to be heard of He coneluded by giving the sentiment: — ‘The Democratic #orty—United in principle, and in union always virtorious ‘The Cvaimmax then proposed the seventh regular toast t our ueste—To thoso who nighty hoste, our th: guards of May they live to reap tl rs in the demveratic rank ‘The Hon Wm.

He said, Mr. President, | and gentlemen.I came here to night, rather to bear my unqualified testimony, and to indicate my appreciation of the patriotic exertions of the members of the Young Men's Union Club, in the recent political struggle, than with any intemtion of addressing you I desired to mingle my plaudits, with those of my fellow ol:izens, in response to the patriotic sentiments; to which we have just listened, from the distinguished gentlomen, who have preceded me, and those that will succeed me But I am unable to resist the partiality of your sccom lished chairman, and the manner in whica you Pave responded to’ the sentiment, to which I am. ‘un. expectediy deputed to reply. (Immense cheering ) ‘The brilliant victories and their Influence upon the des- tinies of the human race, won by the armies of the Amo eat 8! lo for freedom and the extension of free inttitutions, from the heights of Lex- ington in the Revolution to the recent subjugation of ihe Mexican capital, have never been equalled in the warfaro ofcivilized States. (Great and enthusiastic cheering.) Upon every place of the Revolution—in every engagement in our recond struggle for ‘free trade and sailor's rights,” as also in every contest in our recent struzgle with Mexico. our regular army and volunteer roldiery have most nobly upheld the honor, vindicated the coursge, and extended the renown of the citizens of these States. (Cheers) But while we pay this tribute of re- gard to our herole armies, we should not forget that our gallant navy, upon every sea wherever it has been en- gaged, has also reflected honor and distinction upon the American People, and secured for iteelf an imperishable immortality Of renown. (Cheers) History resords no greater achievements im naval wi than our naval commanders through the intrepidity and couragefof their patriotic mariners wherever they havo en- countered an enemy, ¢ither upon the ocean or on great inland seas, (Cheers.)

He considered that the young democracy of the Union had made themselves conspicuous for their disinterested exertions during this campaign. and had put forward unparalleled efforts with- out eny perronal derire. In his humble judgment, Gen. Pierce was the most disinterested person in the campaign. He had withdrawn from public station, had declined his nominarion to the United States Senate, had declined the governorship of bis own State, and the Attorney-General- ship of the United States, and his nomination by New Hampshire as candidate for tho Presidency, Le believed the people of the United States had determined to show themselves a power on eatth, and that the time had arnived when it was their duty to interfere to pave oppression throughout the world. The course of the goverment bad disgusted the people, and they no longer intended to allow a citizen like Mr. Thrasher to be sent to the galleys for eleven years without an explana: tion (Cheers.) The citizens ot this country intended that the mails should be landed in Cuba without opposi- tion. (Cheers) He believed that the American people didnot intend that fifty citizens should be mussacred witkout judge, or jury, or trial. (cheers,) on an island al- most within reach of this continent. The time had ar- rived to put the demceratic party in power, and to put at the head of it the youngest man that has been a can- didate in either party for a quarter of a century. They had paced over the old men, and talten the youngest man that had been a candidate. Mr. Van Buren then declared bimeelf in favor of the free farm bill, and concluded by saying that Fravklin Pierce and Horatio Seymour were the true exponents of the young democracy, and the most triumpbant exponents of that party. Mr Waicnt Hawkes followed Mr. Van Buren. Ho said that he wished he could do justice to the toast. sympathized in all that related to the young democrac: He did not rise to make wlong or labored effort, but str, Van Buren had alluded to a subject which had entu ed rgely into the late canvass, He meant their woreiga re lations In domestic policy their course would be more simple.

I thank you from my heart for judging my aim and efforts so kindly as to deem them not unworthy an association so exalted. I know no mark of public favor or public honor which I would appropriate with « more gratified pride than baing selected in an assembly of triumphant freemen, a3 thelo terpretcr, end as it were, the living voice of thet immor tal truth, his honor imposes upon me, among others, the obligation of being brief, the absence of egotism, and in fact the absence of personality of whatever kind.

By lite has been one of intense excitement and trying vicissitudes, and my repose from toil and peril has been brief, indeed Discomfiture. sorrow, and exile, had been abundant to make me mute. My inclination. as perhaps my duty, was to cen their stern les tons over in uncomplaining silence, and prepare myself forother events. But an -attempt was made to seduce my countrymen into a betrayal of their convictions by en appeal, at once a slander and an insult; and while T had voice or strength, my heart impelled me to resist and torerent They were invoked to bring their altars to the ballot box, and there to forswear their judgment in the name of God.

Otherwise. why are they alone seiected for a sectariun appeal? Has any one dared to addross it toan American? If he did, he would be answered by a blow. And is it not precisely the charge always advanced against them by the opprees- ors—by their open enemies here and at home? The iden tical charge!

No, sir, let me perish first. I am of them and their religion, and I say, that while wo cherish our religion, and every dear memory of Father- land sacred in our hearts, we exercise the prerogative of citizenship with unclouded reason* and unbiassed judg- mont and an undivided will. In fulfil functions we are wholly American. In publican franchises we recognise only liberty. “ Give unto Qwsar that which is Cwvar's ” but it is @ holier command to give unto man that which i+ man’s. Such are our sentiments. They who charged us with the reverse are our libellers. They who have calcu- lated on the opposite may gather the fragments of their slunders, ecattered over their broken rout. I trast they will take the Icason well to heart, and learn feom it to be wiser and better men; and when hereaftor they undertake to judge otbers, that they will apply some less erring siandard than their own. I am done with this topic. May I now address myself to a subject of far migh‘ier moment—the present and the future of demo cracy. Democracy here enjoys its triumph; but it is not the tuccees of @ party. It is overwhelming, co extensive with the vast area of this continent, and. if it may bo raid without irreverence, omnipresent and omnipotent. It ie the triumph of the aa! versal peo jo over a con:racted, & distorted, and a petty policy. The issue has not been determined by the claims or popularity of the President elect. The result is a universal disenthralment. cugle of America, true representative of her fearless a1 progrestive genius, was chained. By a Titanic effort ho is eet free, and with unfettered wing, and unslouded eye. he soars through his native heavens. And, gentlamen, while we rejoice over obstacles overcome, let us mot be blind to these in our front to-day. Man of whom de mocracy is but the aggregation, with bis accumulated passions and vices, as well as his virtues and his valor, is far more and more irresistible in the day of trial tham fn the day of triumph. A lion tn action, be may want ity of the world in his hour of repose. aie ae “vis ruit mole sua.’ # is true, even without the action of the elements at the basis of our constitution, as a people. These ements our difficulties twenty fold. See what it Is, im these elements, with which we have to deal. Democracy, when last in power, steadily maintained its Progressive pelicy. It did not usurp, It did not invade; Feslin was ofered, by the rightfal owners, and it accepted the gift, with all its responsibilities. The responsibilities were ser , but democracy triumphed. A great glory and a great good were achieved. Those who favored and those who retisted the enterprise triumphed; but the latter determined to have all the gains, the blessings attendant upon peace, and the spoils attendant upon war. ted the gratitude ot the nation from the ageno7 to ere instrument of the enterprise.
