I am, ver truly, your obedient servant, GREENE ©. BRONSON, The following letter was received from Charles O'Conor, Esq., United States District Attorney :— LETTER} OF CHARLES O’CONOR. New York, Nov. 2, GextLewrx—I have received your letter of this date, in- viting me to preside at the county mooting to be held b fal the national democrats at Metropolitan il, on Thursday eveninz. In my judment, it is not a fit thing for the officers of the United States to assume leading parts in the State elections, For this reason alone, I feel constrained to de- cline accepting the honorable pest to which you have invited me. Iam Gentlemen, with great respect, your friend and servant, CHS. O'CONOR There were loud calls for ‘ Brady,’ when Mr. Brady appeared on the stage. He was received with loyd and long continued cheering, which drowned the music, which had commenced to play. After the applause had subsided, James T, Brapy came forward and said :~ Iam not compelled, on this occasion, to imitate the ex- ample of a certain tall captain of a traitorous faction, who once, at a large assemblage, commenced his harangue in fayor of the free soil doctrines by addressing the men before him as ‘‘fellow-citizens and fellow-traitors.”” (Ap- ause.) Iam here to gratify a wish of my heart, that as been stirred up since 1847, Iam here with you to render thanks that, at last, we are about to consign free soilism, and, if needs be, together with the General aud State gover ninents which support it, toa grave from which they shall never be resurrected.” Feilow-democrats— ‘There never was 4 period in our political history when we had more reason to see each other with emotions of gra tulation and pride than tho present.

Yet these opponents of ours address us as if we were not democrats of the efty of New York; as if we did not sua- tain the principles recommended by the democracy of tho States, And who are they who say this? Why, my fellow democrats, since I last addressed you two meetings have been held, at which the big prince of traitora presented himeelf before the community. (Groans for Van Buren). He made a speech, fellow democrats, at Albany, and he made another at Tammany Hall, to waich I will allude presently more particularly. Thero was a mecting held at Tammeny Hall the “other night, which has been called the symbol and symptom of regularity, (Great laughter). y kymboland symptom of regularity!

Tt wea, follow ia MORNING EDITION----FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1853. PRICE TWO CENTS, year 1850 that the most able and inteVirent mom in country concentrated all their force to overcome the heresy of free soilism. We called a meeting at Tanmany Hall to promote this patriotic purpose. We made ail arrangements to hold that meeting there. We did not want to advocate the political preferment of auy man, or set of men, but for the simple object of de- claring our devotion to the constitution ard tho union of these United States, and those compromise measures which are deemed essential to the welfars, peace and prosperity of the nation. And how were we dealt with? We were ejected by ihe same kind of im€u- nee which they recently empisyed with so mech effect Syracuse, We were put ou! by force; and the mea who took possession of Tanmany Hall on that cesasiou, pot Blijah F. Purdy in the chair. I never have heard of one politiciun ainong theny who has not occupied & con- temptible and disgraceful position, who could aot-be found in that symbol and symptom of regularity. [Ap- Plame and laughter] I intend to way a few words vel&- ive to our meeting to-night. Admitting that it is or- thodox in one sense, it cannot be looked upon as autiven- tic and regular in another. This meeting has been held in the exercise of our right, and in some way insubordi- nately. We bave not asked the permission of Gov. Sey- mour to assemble here.this evening, and perhaps it is to be regretted that we have not invited that distinguished fellow citizen, ¥. Purdy, to be present. ‘This is in- subordinatioa, the first time in our political histo- ry, it would seem that the great, generous, noble heart of the demoerucy is not to throb'by the dictates of duty or principle, but at the toach of a manwhom the democratic party themselves have elevated to all the honors of his position. Our meeting is, in some sense, insubordination; but their meeting the other night was held by the especial and gracious permission of majesty. (Laughter.) Iitvrtrious men were expected to be pre- sent, but they saved their reputation by not coming, aad there were only two illus:tious men in the group— only two distinct orators came forward The third wat Captain Ryndere, who ¢id not claim to bo an orator, as he did not like tre company. There were only two— Martin Grover, my rival candidate for the effice of At- the t torney General, “and my distinguished friend, the “Prince.” (laughter) There were other speakers, I conless, but] have not time to waste my attention upon the nebulous massos in the remotest cistinea—I only look to the stars of the first wagnitude, But with reference to the Attorney Generalthip, I have only to say that nei- Martin Grover or your humble servant will ever de- ¢ any advantages from our nomination, in a personal poivt of view, for T understand perfectly weil that neither of us can be elected. The choice of the people will fall ona manwhom I love and respect—a man upright in politicc—a righteous man—Ogden Hoffman (skeers); and both of us will be kept in the private position from which we have lstely emerged, in order that the people may be gratified in the ‘wishes of their hearts; and so I can speak freely, and can say with freedom of myself in speaking of Martin Grover. From the time when free soiliem first raived its head in this place, to the hour I now address you, he has never pretended to say that he ever renounced a jot or tittle of the new faith to which he and Mr. Van Buren attach themselves. This is notenough for him, and in the speech he made the other night, it seems he proved himself to be like John Van Buren—a very busy man indeed. (Hisses.) The ce says he is rothing but a private citizen—that he is seeking to earn a livelihood for himselfaud child by the profession he follows. As that ehild is the object of his ailections, it will be the object of eur respect also; amd so far as cencern the learned profession to which he belongs, I wish him all the success h- de- servee—and no man ean claim any more, I am glad he alluded to the fact of his coming on’the parish if he failed in the pursuit of his legal pro feesion. (Hisses and laughter.) I do not believe that that will ever take place; but Tcan tell him that if be keeps much longer in the field of politics, and does not quit his company, he will become the greatest political pauper ever seen. (Cheers and laughter.) And he must be succeeding in his profession, my fellow-democrata His engagements are numerous and protracted. He had a long cause in Westcbester, which prevented him from attending the first mecting ia Tammany Hull, and others which produced the same effect. for he has not yet, it would seem, had time to read the proceedings of the “short boys’ at Syracuse. It is a remarkable fact that neither Martin Grover or John Van Buren said a solitary word in their speeches as to what they think about the platform adopted by their particular friends there They ave not had time enough to read them, or have not found the taste or stomach to adopt them. They do not believe in them, or they are trying to play deception about them, which will be exhibited and punished. As to Martin Grover, nothing can be said to thow that he is not a man who should have presented himself before a great and truthful assemblage of the democrats of the city of New York. Our friend—this of course I epeak in a jocoxe way--our enemy, the Prince, told you or told the people, in his speech at Albany, that he was a private citizen, bec.nse he says he is not a pub- Ve man unless he holds or seeks office. He says :— I am not a political man because I do not hold an office, and I do not seek an office ;’ and I kope he will adhere to that reselution, because if he does not, the people will teach him that it is easier to seek than to fad. ‘Ap: plavse and laughter.) I propose, fellow democrats, not to spend much of your valuable time in remariing on the pleasantries with which he intersperses his most serious odservations im addressing his follow men. I propose to take up one single declaration of his, solema- ly and considerately made—by a man who would feel very much hurt if ary one said he did not possess a high order of intellect; to take up, I say, that solemn deciara tion, made on his personal word, and subject it to the touch- stone of truth, and see whether it cau stand or whether it must fall. And in this, my fellow citizens I will de tain you but a few minutes. Ihave a paper in my band which is a transcript of some of the remarks made by that distinguished leader of the frea soil party, at differ- ent times, since he came on the public stage ef politics. He said on the 27th of September, 1963, in his speech at Albany, this:— In 1350 the compromise measures ware passed. From the instant they were passed, every good democrat in the State coased to agitate the subject. |For noarly two years prior to the assembling of tho Inst Baltimore Convention I oad written or spoken on the subject. But for five years p: Jou well know, I have confined myself to the simple duty of Voting at elections and addressing tho people, a'ter the ticket was nominated, in behalf of the regularly nominated demo- cratic ticket, and contributing all my exertions to the success of the united demooracy. Now, bear in mind that he declares that for two yeara prior tb the assembly of the Convention of 1852, he had not written or spoken on the subject, and that for five years he had done nothing politically, except to lend his support or advocacy to the election of the regular demo- cratic ticket. Now, glance for one moment at some of the Prince’s acts, commencing in 1849, In 1849, on the 8th of November, ho delivered a speech in Faneuil Hall, and made this memorable deciaration :-— The national democratic body has beea dissolved by the action of the South And he said farther— Tam under no necessity tosupportfor the office of Presi- dent any person who docs not consider slavery 5m unmixed evil, and who will not ugo the whole constitutional power of the government to abolish i? He also said that he should have felt himself so far a member of the cemoeratic party as to consider such a declaration treason to his party obligations; that the ¢emoeratic party had no national creed and no national organization ; and—quoting the language of John M. Reed, of Pennaylvania—he said that the Baltimore Con- vention had beea constructed in the South, and was shivered by the convention into a thousand fragments ; and he predicted that the democracy of New York could never again stand asa party. On the 23th of June, 1850, he addressed a letter to the free soil convention of Con- necticut, regretting that his engagements prevented him from being present, and said: ‘There was never a time when thoss who desired to see slavery prohibited in ths United States, and abolished by the government, whenever it has the power, wero more urgently called upon to speak t with energy and decision om auch subject; gud deep responsibility devolves on the oppo: laver>. They should first of all be true to their ud their organization and their candidates. That was in 1860. To be true to their organization and their candidates, ber! should hold their representatives: to a rigid accountability, and dismiss them if they falter or betray their trusts, At a subseription meeting held in Faneuil Hall, at which Charies F Adams presided, he addressed tke assembly, and the Evening Post—edited by two unsuccessful lawyers, the one a frigid poet, and the other 2 hot abolitionist—the Zyening Post said of the resolutions that they were the merest and most pitiable drivellivg in the world, and that it would be manifestly unjust to make the democratic State convention re- sponsible for them, and that the resolution re- ferring to what is called the Baltimore platform, and cecla:ing that ihe New Yor convention adopts ‘that platform, is sti!l more childish, That was on the 29th of May, 1851. At Burlington, Vermont, he spoke exultingly of the Buflale movement, and declared that the fugitive slave act waa utterly unconstitutional; and he said be should resist it with all the means he covid command, if he were seized under it. And he saia, if,the law is constutional he had supposed that no judge or lawyer who had any respect for himself will pretend that it should be obeyed. In my judgment, said he, it should be absolutely and unconditionally repealed. spoke of the bill introduced by a whig member of Legislature in this Stote, designed to annul the fugitive slave act, as a wise, just and constitutional bill—ard said It does not become mo to say what the united democracy of New York will hereafter do, I have no commission to m, nor sufficient opportunity of ascertaining e changnd aspect of the slavery question, to be able to indicate their probable course, But I do nod believe that they will ever endorse the syotem of measures upon this subject, styled a Compromise, or approve of the Fugitive Slave act. Whon the propor time arrives, they will speak for themselves.

I think I have succeeded in showing that itis not true that Mr. Van Buren bas, for the past, five years, confined himself merely to the object of sustaining the democratic cause and the democratic ticke*. I think there is no warrant for any assertion of the kind; and if we wore to depend upomsuch men to support tha party, there were po hope that we could ever vindicate its principles or win a triumph, 1 have alluded to Mr. Van Buren, because ke is the recognized, and we may wéll held him to be the responsible, leader of the free soil rty in this State; acd "having disposed of him, have a few words to say in reference to the prerent condition‘of the democratic party, aud then I wil) have done, Who was it that electe:i Gen. Pierce? We. Tie men who now claim to have all the distiastion, ani to deserve all the eminent gifts ia Mr. Pierce's patronage, | were unknowa to the democratic party till a very short time before the organization which led to the selection of 8 Union democrat for their head, Mr. Brady went on to denounce that wily, cunning and heartless democrat— as he called bim-—William I, Marcy, who had oscil. lated between the two divisions of the democratic party till he had lost the confidence of both. Mr. Brady then proceeded as follows :—A meet: ing was to be held to which Creene ©, Bronson was invited. They wanted him to address it; but he would not stoop to a mean purpose, aor lend his sanction to what his heart and judgment do: demned. He came out like a man, in his true colors, and not only declived to at- tend the free soil meeting, but repudiated their ticket, and gave in his adhesion to the ticket presented by the representatives of the tre demecracy at Syracuse, and sustained by the men who will yet be the masters of this State anc of the mation, Now the fact of Judge Bronson’s having given in his adhesion to our ticket, was made the groundwork: of his removal. It was a mere protence -a false- bood—a plot of Marcy and I charge it upon him. The object was to get hold of the patronage of the Custom House of New York, and I will prove it by an argument. What is Charles ('Conor? (Here ‘a burst of cheering arose which shook the building, and continued for seve ra minutes.) Is he any less decided in his political senti ments than Greene ©. Bronson? (Cries of ‘No, n0,’*) Is he any less defiant or bold’ Did not he, too, write a let- ter and Ceclare his adhesion to the tickot of the true de- mocracy Did he not by a gallant act, when not called on to do ko, come forward and place himself side by side with Mr. Bronson’? Yes, for he felt that there was more glory in falling beside a man like that, struggling for hon- est principle, than to be clevated to the highest position in the country by an infumous abandonment of principle, (Applause.) | Why was he not removed? ‘The Evening “ost gives the reason. But to state that the Zwning Post has said anything, is to state a reason why it is impossi ble to believe it.The Ewning Post says he was not re- moved, because the adminustration could not get such a lawyer every day to replace him. This reminds meof the’ subterfuge ofa man who, when challenged to fight a duel, replied to his antagonist—“You owe me too much money to permit me to shoot you.” (Laughter) What will John Van Buren think of this compliment? Is “the Prince” not lawyer enough? (Laughter.) Is henot long enough? Certainly he has all the intelligence, the capacity, and the activity that the ofice of. United States District Attorney requires, Is not this also an insult to another acquaintance of mjne? Is it not a reflection upon the capacity of Lorenzo'B. Shopard, who wasa candidate for the office? Does it nol betray a forgetfulness of his merits on the part of tho Pos!? If being faithless to the demoeratic cause be a ground of merit, ne cer taizly ixzentitled to the office, for there can be no greater disorganizer than he. Why thom, I ask, cid they ‘not select the Prince or Loreiao.3, Shepard? Because the office of District Attorney has no. patronage connected with it. What they want is the spoils—t Custom House—to enable ‘them to collees money from the office-holders, and compel tim to snb- scribe @ portion. of their pay to chivate patriots to office, and dirgrace themeclves in the sight of all men. Ia Hillyer, the United States Marshal, not hard enough for ceeajitation’ Why, there ia enough of flint ia his composition toemit sparks if a free soiler jomtled against him, But no, to carry on the game in New York it was necessary that the Custom House should be nsder the control of the Cabinet, to lery these. corapnDiory cont: butions, in order to [ee gots & rotten set of men and equally’ rotten set_of traitors, (Appiavse.) But we will assign Judge Bronson such a p 3 no set of politicians can deprive him of, ox ‘abe away ita power. For my own ly I glory in the circeumstance that the demoeracy of the city of Now York, the purest and the noblest in the land, if aay portion of the demo- cracy be purer and nobler than another where all is Oo right—the New York democracy, are batting for princi- ples alono, Leaders tay desert us, Presidonts may frown upon us, cabinets mag doall they can to keep power from us and to crush the spirit of the ‘rue and the faithful, of wim, perhaps, it might lo said, im the language of Moove-- “Some of the fow, tho vainly brave, Have died for the lant they cannot sar But suppose New Yor! ‘vm shoull prove recgeant, wo will tench the United Staton that there is oro city that can maintain its politieal integrity in despite of overy ar- tifoe and al the power that can’ be arraye 4 against it.

Mr. Beedy “otired amidst the most trementous op- plause ” FS At the conclusion of Mr. Brady's apeech there was loud and long-continued cheering. The band played the “Star-Spangled Banner,” and the scene was exciting i the extreme, There were shouta for “Walsh!” “Walsh!” when the Hon. Wikw Watsit came forward and addressed the mest- ing. He said— He did not intend to detain the audience a great while, sapeciaily after the eloquent remarks of his triend, Mr. Brady. Every one waa acquainted with the history of the perfidy of 1848. and that which preceded it. For a long time there had been considerable suspicious coquet= ing and bargaining going on; and the “union and bar- mony”? was at last cemented at Utica and Buffalo. The whole object of all thia billing and cooing was the ag- grandisement of the persons concerned in it, and the de- basemert of the party. But, thanks to certain acts, and & combination of circumstances, the democratic party has become awakened to @ sense of the infamy of even an implied connection with such traitors. The party has sesolved to vindicate its honor, and send from ita midst there contaminated excrescences. (Applause.) From the eave with which the Van Burenites have changed their names since 1848, the speaker would not be surprised to hear of their swearing fralty to the temperance alliance, and asseverating tbat the welfare of any man here, and his soul’s salvation hereafter Gepended upon his strict adherence to tran bread and Croton When Martin Van Buren returned to his native State, after he had re v‘ired from the Presidential chair, he called upon a'r Cay, and soon afterwarda a letter appeared fr, ¥m both of these gentlemen denouncing the annexation of Texas, and the ecuduct of his adherents has been equ ‘ly traitorous. In 1852 wo did not go to Baltimore to bi ‘ter away the Compromises, It has been stated that Gene. %#) Pierce wan nominated without pledges. John n J, ‘uren said so in Tammany Hall at the firet ratitica tion n Weting, and the speaker contradi it as that time. Ur. Pierce said in his letter accaptiag the nowina- tion, thwt be accepted it and the platforra, not be- cause th © nomination was conaitional upon the accep tation of’ the platform, but because every act in his life wits in strict accordance with its principles, And allwe Bae ever asked is that Mr. Pierce will live true to the geino‘ples of the platform, aad that he will not form alliswees with the traitors Whe have strack Cown the demoeratie party. (Cheers.) Yo be sure, we are told that ti wooly heads ‘this State Have adopted the same platform that we hays. This was tite case witls the two parties at Baltimore, the diffe: once being that the ‘ople believed the one and d.@not believe the other. We have als ys adiered to those principles, and they put them forth simply to securs their own elevation to power. I believe that these men would deny their coun- try and their God they imagined that such & course would elevate them toa high public offic. The aker had had forebodings of evil when Marcy and Cushing were called to the Cabinet. The great erzor of Marcy’s political life was the forming of entangling al- liances; and Curhing was a renegsde from the whig party, who had signed his recantation (in the: time of Ty!or) with one hand, while he held out the other, like a stzvet beggar, praying for « seat in the Cabinet, or the Chinese mission. (laughter and applause.) Here Mr. Walsh proceeded to speak of the appointments; the President had oflered Daniel 8. Dickinson the New York Custom House; and this after Dickinson had refused the Prosidency of the United States out of fidelity to bis friend Lewis Cass, And this nan was to be buried in the vaults of tue Custom Houre. Dickinson auc Dix—O*Conor and Cochtane—Bai- timore and Buflalo—union and Utica! (Great laughter and applause.) A union between virtue vice, para- dise and perdition, would be quite as natural and nothalf so revolting. It would do very well for Dix to be buried in the Custom House vaults; but the speaker would rather have one lock of the hair of Dictinson’s head than the friendship of an hundred of his defamers, (Cheera.) Aftor referring to Mr. Dix's letters to an imaginary friend in Georgia, he eaid:—If the administration endorses the treason of Van Buren I hope the Amerizan people will not do 80, for when a respectable portion of t mean respectable in numbers--approve of suci treason, it will be high time for us to erect a monument t2 the memory of Benedict Arnold, aud write over it that we endorse his treason and we lament his fate. (Applause.) At the Tammany Hall meeting tue other night, Johu Yaa Buren made some characteristic misstatements. He seemed to be much shocked because General Ward, of Westchester, had at some time or other played a game of cards. Now, Jchn’s bodyguard are not ouly gamblers, but their reputation uinong gamblers is not en- viable. John made an attack upon Charles O°Conor ; but we can excuse him for that. When John first came to New York le had some little repu- tation, but when he grappled Charles O’Coner in the Forrest divorce case, he descenced to the level of a third or fourth rate pettifogger. (Laughter, and Jone HaRieneey) lore. lation to the removal oi Judge Bronson, the speaker said that his removal was the (rst instance where any admin- istration had in so shameless a manner attempted to exert power by apperiing to the cupidity of the base and the fears of the tuni¢, No one had ackod that Judge Bronson +hould have the oil He had taken it whes tendered, and by stion while holding it he had raised himeelé to as ‘(great a superiority over his assailants as the archangel over ifer. After a brief refer- ence to the proud position oc d by the na ticnal democratic party, and the detestation in which the Van Burenites were held by every onemeven the colored men, whose votes they got in 43 by fulse pre- tences—the speaker said that he bad been Struck with one sentence aven's Tammany Hall speech, viz.: that when aman turns his face to the South he must i i Lhaye sot to learn (said Mr, yuth is reason to the North, 15 not known when Je sat in the councils of the Such doctrine was unk Marion and Stark min, Van Franklin Applause.) Seen Waahingtoas at their blood for the cefence of ther common son and nation. and their common country. (Cheers.) Dark will be the hour when such ecoua prevail among the American people. There are tunes in the history ‘of parties, as well as ia the history of nati when mer are called upon to make sasrifices for t mon cause. It may beso with us. We are enga contest in which we have full reliance upon the and we cheerfully and patiently await the roeult. Mr. Walsh cat down amid enthusiastic cheers, His bodily health appears to have entirely recuporated, and his speech—which the lateness of the hour obliges our reporter to condense—was very eloquent and forcible. Mr. ©. W. Carwoax, of Philadelphia, vas thea intro- duced to the meeting, and said:— Mr. President and fellow democrats—I responded with slacrity to the call of your committee to address the na- tional emocracy of New York, niore particularly so be- cause I bring with me the assurances of the heartfelt sympathy of the democracy of the old “Keystone” in your coming fight with traitors. (Applause.) I care not what the parlor politicians of my State may say to the contrary—they remain in their offices, and look out upon the contest Thave the honor to be of and among the people, and profess to know their seatiments, and I say to you to-night there was scarcely a democrat ia my State, outside of a few oflice holders, who did not feol his heart beat quicker as he perused the roble letter of Greene C. Bronson. (Applause.) And why? Because they know that in all time to come that letter wil] be looked upon as a vindication of their manhood srom the oppression of a Cabinet despotism. (Great eqplause.) Again, there was scarcely a democrat that did not read, with deelings of disgust, the sickening and coarse letter of Mr. Guthrie, They felt that that act degraded him in the estimation of his countrymen, and stamped 8 by Moorish cavairy. After a desperate evcouater, his men were yielding to superior Bumbers, when Jaw threw the casket containing the heart into the vary centre of the ‘and rung out that inspiring war-slo- “A Bruce, to rescue!”’ The effect waa elect the krights rallied, drove back the Moors, and regainsa the casket. So with our party in the last contest. They bore before them a Wie ccoisiag the “constitution and its compromises,’ the very heart of the great confee deracy. As the approaching forces met, we threw the casket in the midst of the opposition, and with the battls cry, ‘The constitution and its compromises, to the reseue!"? we were borne into power on am overwhelming tide of victory. (Great applause.) We stand firmly on the em of '48 and and say with all redpect that the administration in its distel- bution of the public patronage, is endangering the na- tionality of the party, by giving place to trai herding with men of little or no consistency—with the political renegades of '48, who sold their birthright fer than a moss of pottage—with the faithless profligates who staked the value of the Union on a cast, ‘and swore they'd stand the hazard of the die; and we further aay, that had this policy been acknowledged before the eles- tion, Gen, Pierce could never have received the vote of Pennsylvania. (Applause) Think you that Pennsylvania, with all her proclivities for military men, would have placed upontbe democratic altar her offering of tt thousand if she had} nown that traitorswere to be re a? No, it was her utter devotion to the constitution an@ its compromises that overrode every other consideration. Then, my fellow-democrats, if the democratic party has always shown itself the national party of the country General Pierce was elected upon national grounds, am@ national grounds only—if the administration has endaa- gered the nationality of our party, by giving place te traitcra—the question arises, what is our hs in this ex- It is to oppose thix policy, “at all hazards, and t extremity’’—never to ground our arme unt uey changers’? are driven from the temple—never yield while we have a hair’s breadth of foot aguinst such oppression, (Tremendous ap- plause.) Bat, say some, do not discuss this matter= don’t agitate this question: it will ruin the party. fa surgeon detects a cancer in the human system he ecadicate it—if we find a tumor on the bedy politic ought We not to point it out? Butdon’t discuss this matter— don’t arouse an excitement. Freedom of discussion ie the chiefest of American rights, and if we detect what ve conceive to be an error, we wiil discuss it; and ‘whem the right of discussion falls beneath tne polaoned: steel of factions tyranny, we will bury our faces | ing as the iron in her ore beds. in our mantles and die with it; for then our liber- ties wil be the prey of the gambler, the gladiator, and the usvrer; then good night to’ republicanism the last 2ay of political hope will have ceased to shine.” Others sey you speek the truth, but it is not policy te speak the truth. las it come to this? Has the time arrived in the history of the democratic party when the truth cannot be spoken, because, foreooth, it may offend the nice senses of dependent Iackeys, of whom the party were better rid? Are we to be frowned down becaure we Gare tell mew in powor that they err? Is the voice of the national democracy to be silent when they see wrong and outrage in high places? If so, let us know it; and we know our course, The party ia not to be fright ened by the threats of men in power, or by the Jeers of an insulting, traitorous faction. The people look for morality in’ politics as well as social life— want pure principles ‘and pure leaders. The) msn worship, ard will not follow in the wake of co1 leaders, Lam satistied to truat the people; and in thie republican country to paraphrase the language of Sheei- daz, you may give the government a corrupt House of Representatives ; give th: a yenal Senate; give them » truckling Cabinet and a tyrannical President ; and give te me the honest hearts of the national democracy, and E will defy them to encroach a hair's breadth upon the es of America. No, my feilow democrats, I willl *peak the truth at ail times and on all occasions— shal! not intimidate me, nor faction frowm me dowm. I will pale the coward check of throat, ond throt- tle faction in its den. T’ll speak the truth, “ thougie hell itself should gape and bid me hold my peace.” Tuer, my fellow-democrats, if purity of purpose can age complish anything, you will be successful in this issue, ‘The whole country is looking to the Old Guard in New York, as Napoleoa, in the hour of need, looked upoa hie “Invizeibles.’”” You stand in the vau of this contest, de- termined to be victorious or full together, Each man et you is a Ourtiu en what boote it if persecutions come upon you like hail?—what though the official guillotine deca pitates Collector, and District Attorney, and Marshal ® What of a eat Why, as you oe in the midst of this political execution, the past history of our party come back upon you, crowded with all its trials and its triumphs,” its- sacrifices ond ite victories, You will recollect that Jefferson was modk- ei at and spat upon—that the hounds of detraction were let loose—that religion was dra upon the polltical platfo: that iniidelity was shouted from the houre-top, bawled in the streets, and hiccuped inTtap- roons; yet none of these things moved the dem they bore him into power on an overwhelming tid@ot ictory. This was one of our trials and triumphs. You I! also recollect that Andrew Jackson wae + tyrant—that curses loud and deep} were uttered againet him by the opposition and traitors in our ows ranks—that the stores of my native city were closed, the American eagle shrouded in crape, while the bells of the city tolled as for a funeral; but did the true quail in the face of such persecutions? No; they rose preportion to the curses of traitors—they elung closer te the old Roman, as the sacrilegious Gauls advanced nearer—they walled him in a firm, united body of mem, and shielded the fame of Andrew Jackson from the hye ras of the opposition. This was one of our sacrifioss and victories. (Applausa.) Then, with all these past e!cries clustering around us, we will resolve that the na- tions] history of our party shall not be tarnished. And hereto night to say to you, that Pennsylvania, ham@ hod with you in ’48 and ’50, is heart and hand witla you in 63. She is as hard as the granite in her moua- ins, and her devotion to the national ocracy as last~ And if it should ever happen that the South should forget the party of the North that sprang to the rescue when her soveccigaty was invaded—that the States North, forgetting the that has made them great, should counsel with rebele== then Pennsylvania and New York, the two great States of the confederaey, would fight the battle shoulder, rejoice with one another, or Then, democrats, stand by your national banner—stand by that banner which, in the darkest hour of our coum- try’s history, has been its pillar of cloud by day and pil- lat of Gre by night. Stand by that banner which hed its glories acrose the waters until Europe's fa- triots, gathering inspiration and god like courage frome its gleamings, have gone forth to strike for their firesides and homes. Stand by your banner, and whore-the battle rages fiercest, where the fight waxes warmest, there, there let that banner gleam, awakening in the soul bi and noble daring. Stand by your banner, and the 6 of Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson, bending from their homes in the skies, will cheer you om once more te battle and to victry. Stand by your banner, and our party will forever bear on its broad front the stamp of nationality, andits future history be big with an im- mortality of greatness. ‘The speaker, who has a fine voice and commanding ap- pearance, and was applauded throughout, concluded amidat tremendous cheers, and several gentlemen ran wp to shake hands with him as he retired from the stand, Mr. Joan C. Matarr was next introduced and received with three cheers. He said— . He rose te thank them for the kind and cordial manmeg in which they had received his name, and to assure thea. with opprobium our character as 4 government, abroad. They felt keenly that position, no matter how high, can not give aman character unless he has the force to fill it. (Great applause.) In this connection, I desire to notice a telegraphic despatch, dated Philadelphia, Octo- ber 10th, that appeared in the Hurarp of tho 1ith ult., in which it was said that “Robert Tyler, Fsq., had deliv- ered an address to the democracy of Philadelptis, in vin- Giention of the polfey of the. adininistration in. its distri- bution of the spoils in New York, and that his speech was an index of tho feolings of the democroy of Pennsylva- nia.”” Iam hore to say that such is rot the fact—that the democracy of my State have no sympathy with the traitors that struck down Lewis Case, Now let us see where Mr. Tyler stood in ‘43. _ Beforo a demceratic asso- ciation of Buck's county, in Pennsylvania, delivered in the month ef October, he styled Ven Baren snd his free soil allies, “men of ents, but mo_ princ Jes" —“'g: an who were reereant to the.Unien, to God and umanity that “one halfthopeoply of the country were laughing at the sudden coavorsion of Van Buren, while tha other half despised h'm,”) and Ned on the democraey “to spuzn the traitas Now, in ‘53 he at tempts the vindicatien of the prevent administration, in giving place to frea soil Juias Iscariot, Such incousise tency and unblusding effronzery would have received 2a commyent at my ‘sands had not the despatch alluded to appeared in the columns o2 vour leading journal.
