PRINCE JOHN VAN BUBEN'S PLATFORM. Wis SPEECH TO THE SOFT SHELLS ATOSWEGO, le Stands Square on the Slavery Question, with a Leg on Each Side of the Fence, He Goes First for the Nebraska Bill, and Secondly for Making Kansas a Free State Any How. GLORIOUS PROSPECT FOR THE DEMOCRACY, &o., &e. &e. Pursuant to previous arrangement, John Van Buren addressed the democrats of Oswego, at their City Hall, on Friday evening last. The ¢pacious hall was filled to its utmost capacity, and the audience greeted the speaker as he ascended the platform, with the most enthusiastic cheers. Quiet being restored, after some time, Mr, Van Buren said: Fellow-citizen:—Having recently been a member of a convention to nominate candidates tw be supported by the suffrages of the electors of this State, and the conduct of that convention haying very Jargely been the subject of remark, it has given me ve:y great pelasure, so far as Ihave had the opportunity, to address the electors of this State, with 2 view to explain some of oaeesor aces which that convention put for- ward, and ask the ‘attention of electors of the State, to the principles maintained by the party of which I amo member, and to the candidates which have been Presented to the people for their pio You undoubt- are all aware, that so far as the election is concern- ed, the interest which every one of you possesses in the canvass, is the same asmy own. Iam not one of the candi- dates presented for the popular suffrage; I never have been, and I trust in God, I never may be. But I have deen & member of the demoeratic 4 from childhood. 1 have always felt a deep interest in its success, and was never more anxious than now for the ascendancy of its principles and its candidates. It has not been conveni- ‘ent for me, during the past year, to address very fre- quently the electors of this State; still, cireumstances have occurred in the county of St. Lawrence which led me to feel great solicitude as to the course of the electors of that county, and induced me to visit it. A large meeting was held at Canton on Tuesday evening last, which I ad. a@ressed, and nothing is more natural, on my return, than the wish to address the democracy of this place, in whicli I feel a deep interest. It is not worth while to con- ratulate you upon your beautiful city, and upon its prosperity, which strikes every beholder. A beautiful town you have, a beautiful night this to see it in a beautiful assemblage of people to address, in the shape of a democratic meeting, and as think, a deautiful set of principles and candilates for which to solicit your support. 1 shall proceed directly to call aa attention to some of the principal proporiticns vrought forward by our convention, because I am one of ‘those who believe that the people should agree in prinei- ple, if they are to act together; andifthey donot so agree, certainly ought not to act together. Parties are or- ganized in advocacy of certain sets of principles: for that purpose they make associated effort, and if any succe ‘to be achieved, it is only desirable because that success establishes correct principles in the government of the eountry. Two weeks from Tuesday you and ] yote, and take our sbare in the government of the country. I have al had a share in it, not by holding its offices, but dy selecting others who are to discharge the duties of the po vegpment and to carry out the principles on which the tious of our country are founded, It is desirable that these duties should be discharged intelligently and ispassionately; and I do not think there ever has been a time in the history of this State when the people have been more disposed todo so. When was there ever a more general disposition to canvass freely and fairly every principle and every man who is presented to the people for their support? That isa highly valuable fea- ture of the present time. One of (he most interesting quaiiona this ‘year before the people, is the financial p>- hicy of this State, and its internal improvements s9 fur as they are affected by the election of the officers to be chosen this fall. The convention of which I was a mem- ber was, I claim, the representative of the democratic party of the State. The difference between democrats ‘and those known as the Seward whigs, is radical and fun- damental, as regards the internal improvement policy The democrats lave always been friendly to the construc- tion of canals by the State. Every canal ever commenced in our borders, was commenced under a democratic ad- ministration. Every canal eyer completed, has been completed under a democratic administration, Every debt that has ever been paid in this State, has been paid by a democratic administration, The democrats are canal building and debt paying people. Their adversaries—I speak of that particular portion de- nominated Seward whigs—are a non-canal buil and non-debt paying people. They incur debt ant bring on taxation and bankruptcy as often as they succeed to power. (Applause,) While this is true, there hhas always beew in that party, a few old-fashioned debt- paying people, who have renionstrated, at least, as often as the tax-gatheser comes around, against thls in i dent squandering of ruoney and reckless incucring of debt, by their Seward associates; but they have remon- atrated in vain, One feature of that Seward policy, which has been tho chief origin of the debt of this State, is the enlargement of our canals by means of loans. Whea the trie Canal debt was about being paid, the then Canal Commissioners—0old-fashioned democrats—proposed that the canals should be enlarged by applying the surplus in- come thereto, cach year, until the enlargements were completed. The State officers at that time, were Mr. Bouck, A. C. Flagg, John A. Dix, Greene C. Bronson, Mr. Campbelland Mr. Hoffman’ This, their policy, was re commended to the Legislature in 1835; and it was acted upon up to 1828, which was the time of the advent upon the political board of that gent who has since so largely disturbed the politics of this State—the man known as Wm. H. Seward. He annduffced that we were losing rank and caste among the States around us, w! developing their internal policy. Hg annow it wassa’e to incur a forty million debt, bec revenues of t ause the » canals would pay the interest upon it, and because by that meous the ealargements might go on more speedily, ‘The democrats insisted ¢ policy was to apply the surplus revenues t at the true ¢ enla, ment. Now as to the result, The surplus i canals, above the expenditures, from 1835 to 1853, was 251,800,000, The fairly estimated surplus in 1854) was $2,100,000, and will be as much in 1856 and 1850. | That would make the surplus in the twenty year 000, ‘That would have enabled us to apply $23,000,000 to the Exie enlargement—which it is conceded would have completed it; $3,000,000 to the Genesee Valley Canal $3,000,000 to’ the Black River Canal; $3,000 000 to the Oswego Canal, would have left a surplus to be applied to ‘the extinguishment of the State debt. Had th's polfoy been pursued, what would have been the consequence? The State would have been free from debt, and the mill tax, which is now the object of the tax gatherer’s visit every year, would not now be upon our statute-book. And the tolls could have been reduced two-thirds, or three-quarters. Now, the mill tax must be ‘en- forced until this debt is paid, and the canal tolla must be kept up at the same time. Now this state dedt, after applying the $,000,000 recently raised, will be $34,000,000. and uron that we pay every year $2000 000, and the canals stil) are inan unfinished state. But we are told this new party which has been formed intends to carry out the Huffman plan, and that it is the olt- farhioned democratic party with a new name—ths repub- Yican party, The ground upon which that is asserted is that Abijah Mann—who lived in Herkimer dfteen years afo—bas been put upon the ticket for Attorney General. ell, I take it @ man might have lived in Herkimer fifteen years ago, without being a strenuous advocate of the Hoifman policy. Where do the real advocates of the Hofman policy stand? Loomis was the colleague of Hotiman. Tilden, the democratic candidate for Attorney General, was the colleague of Hoffman on a committeo in the Constitutional Convention, in inaugurating a policy by which he atiempted to provide for the payment of this debt. Stetson, the democratic candidate tor Comptroller, was in the same convention. But this is not all. The ticket called the republican ticket is a Seward whig ticket, and nothing else, and ii proposes to form a Seward Cana) Boaré—Raymond, Comptroller Cook, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, Abijah Mann, the State Ea- eer, Mr. Geddes, the Treasurer, Mr. Williams, and the “anal Commissioners—six ont ef Bing of whom are strong Seward w 10 carry out the policy inaugurated by sevara in 388, nd which has been adhered to by his as- sociates from that time to this, But there are one or two ‘things which occurred in that #0 called epublican conven- tion which strikingly show what kind of Seward whiggery ‘it is they intended to inaugurate in that Canal Board. Some of thore who are to form the Canal Board are @ little better than the rest; but the stea! kind is the worst of the whole. (Laughter.) The query is, how much of that kind ‘they intended to put into the Board? To ascertain that I look to the office of State Engineer, which is one of the most important. He has to determine the character of ‘the work, to determine the kind of excavation, whether it is hard-pan, rock excavation or otherwise, and upon his mere judgment millions of money are frequently aid out, Well, ‘now, there was a State Engiaeer, John. Clark, hold- ing this office when this republican convention assembled— aman of unquestionable capacity, of rare ability, and what ‘Was entirely too much fer this republican convention, a moan of strict integrity. (Laughter and spenee) In his report of last year, he reported to the islature what stealings were going on along the lines of the canals, and all to the gross extravagance of the present system ‘of canal enlargement. No man will deny that the canals ean be maintained for much less than it now costs, if the expenditure rhould be entrusted to judicious, expe rienced and thoroughly honest men, free from the con- trol ang dictation which politicians have heretofore ex- ercised over the expenditure of this branch of the public service, The evil lies in selecting men for office from considerations of partizanship, rather than those of fit ness for the duties of the office. The honesty of this offi cer was fatal to him. He was the first man thrown over board when the convention assembled. Some will ay, that is true; but that they desired to take new men. New men! Why, did you ever before seo such a se: of eld men wu aticket? The idea of passing such meu as Mann, Williams and Jim Cook for new men! Why did they retain Cook if they wore to take new men’ Weed aid Cook could not be spared—his peculiar fitness was fuch they could not spare him. Why did they spare Glarkt clinply because he was a faithful, Bonest and up right officer, und, therefore, in the estimation of this mew perty, he would be a uulsagee in the Canal Board. pane | erage Now, | submit to every fair man, no matter what bis politics! notions have heretofore been, whether, under a state of things, he is not called upon in this election, ty give his support to the demo- eratic party and the demrcratic candidates. There is another matter to which I wish to call your attention, and that is the proporition of our lon fer iba re peal offthe Maine iaw. Now. would be a great error to suppore that the democractic convention necessarily tended to awume that there should be no | upon the subject of intended that no lew guiation «f excise, from the sale of liqu Wf that to quart can be done in rezard ture cam ray that a peculiar epecies of property amounts to a nuisance, and that it may be seized and destroyed in the mauner provided by this act, they can say the same to-morrow in regard to the house and lot of any individual in the country, and we shall be entirely at the mercy of the unrestrained will of the Legislature... So I inatet a man may be thoroughly deveted to the cause of temperance and yet opps to this unconstitutional enactment. All the confusion which has been produced upon this subject has been produced by those very busy and stirring men who notitied them- selves to the world as ihe Liquor Dealers’ Association. With the exception of the “Massauchusetts Emigrant Ald Society,” Tdo not think 1 have ever known se much talking and blowing, and doing nothing, so much mis. spent breath and misdirected camer, as upon the part of those gentlemen known as the special friends of the liquor interest. After all their talk last year a large portion of thore men turned in and supported Ullman, and the result was they elected Clark, and are now favored with this Maine law. £0, after the election, they went to work to get the opinion of counsel, and’in doing so no- tified all the world—at least New York—that they would not take the opinion of any man unless he agreed with them. (Lavght They published thowe opinions thus purchased. ong them is the opinion of Judge Bronson. If they had employed him before the election it would have been a sensible thing. They go to work and make a ticket selectivg four or five men from our ticket, and then three or four more who have no more chance of being elected than I have of being struck by lightning. (Applause.) Now, under these circumstances, those men who are interested in defeating the Maine law —I do not allude now to the liquor dealersé—mea who are in favor of constitutional liberty and the pro- tection of the rights of property, will vote the democratic ticket. (Applause.) ‘The fact is, all this clamor upon the part of the liquor dealers is nothing but clamor, for the temperance men. pay ten dollars to. support their cause to the liquor dealers’ one. The friends of consti- tutional liberty are sontethlnlg more than liquor dealers, It is not necessary for a manto be drunk half the time in order to be opposed to the Maine law. The man who is devoted to constitutional liberty and the rights of pro- perty, and who desires to seo citizans protected in their usiness, knows enough to support the democratic ticket, Applause.) ‘There is another party lately sprung up in this country, which is denonnced in the resolutions of the convention of which I was a member—the Know No- things. Now, as far as they are Know Nothings I have nothing to say against them. (Laughter.) 1 can very well understand how, during the last two or three years, @ great many men have been lying around loose, belong- ing to no particular party, diagusted with all of them, who had nodisposition to get into any party, but out of all of them, and therefore call themselves Know ethey. a e Laughter.) It hay, been suggested to ine that Know Nothing party, in the outwet, was Young Amorica onaspree. (Renewed laughter.) ‘Well, they went off by themselves and became a party, acting {a secret, un- der vows, and now proscribe a man because he is born in some particular place, and because he avows some par- ticular religious faith, In my judgment they are the most odious combination that has ever sprung up in this country. Now, they must forget the whole history of our country—they inust forget the men who achieved our revolution—they must forget the elementary princi- ples of our Declaration of Independence—when they pro- seribe men who have been invited here to seek a shelter from the tyranny of the Old World—a class, too, which embraces some of our best citizens, which has in it an association which devotes itself to the sick and the poor, instant in season and out of season in works of charity. 1 say when they proscribe such a set of men, instead of being an American party, they are ae un-American a any men ean possibly be. (reat ap- plauee.) The idea that there ix any pecuilar virtue in the involuntary act of being born somewhere, and the idea of persecuting a man because of his birth, iv the worst sort of despotism { ever heard of. This popular des- potism, founded upon religious prejudices, and which not only extends to men alive, but reaches into his mother’s womb before he is born, seems to me more despotic and more detestable than any other system which ever sprang up in this country. Such are my views, and such were the views of the democratic convention; and the inquiry is, what is the adopted citizen to do at this election? T believe—and Tany it more freely, because in the whole course of my life I defy any man to show that I have ever appealed to Irishmen, or Germans, or any other class of foreigners as such, or addressed to them any considera- tions peculiarly applicable to them—that they should be all Ameticans—that they should unite with'us, and be upon the same footing with our own people, and) though they Keep 0 their separate amusements, in al! their associations and rights they should forget that they came from any other land than this, But this party of xbich Thave spoken proposes to proseribe and punish them—propores to make them slavo:—for aman i3 a slave who takes no share in the government under which he liver—and it therefore becomes a question of life and death where they are to goat the approaching election. Immense efforts have been made by Sewaid to show that he is the best friend ofthe adopted citizons they ever had ly of the Irish citizens—by which, more than man in the State, he besame the author of this Nothing party; and I doubt whether, but for Sew- ard, there would ever have been a Know Nothing party. He how proposes to take charge of thom. and itis im- portant to ree what his means are. The republi party, in every other State in the Union except this, | Know Nothing party. To Maine itis. In Massachuse: iris, or was until recently, In Ohio, most of the men upon its ticket, and the men who supported {t, were Know Nothings; and in the couth the :epublican pitty has no exisience. But what is the position of the democratic party? North, South, East and West, it occupies oné national platform of hostility to the Know Nothings, and advocates the righ the adopted citizens. (App'ause.) Go to Cong! ; Mississippi, Ohio, Pennsylvania, no matter where, and you flud the democratic party in’ unequivocal a w ed hostility to Know Nothiugism. There, then, is the only real and safe refuge for the adopted’ cities. The democratfe party now, as ever, puts forth a Hberai creed —a creed which is adverse to slavery of every kind, be- cause we believe something inthe slavery of white poople as well as black ones, But it is said that a quertion bas re- cently grown into such pre-ew as to make it nec: uy to form a ney party—the republican party there bas lalely been ution at which there 1 what was culled a marriage of persons, such as Mr. El thompson to Mr. Govecnor Clark—a marriage such aster Chambers, to whig State jege of whig Harbor Commissioner King, to whig Secretary of State Leavenworth. (Laugh- ter.) Now that isa marriage within the prolabited degreos of consanguinity (renewed laughter); at any rate they are so near reinied that their progeny will be half.witced (Roars of laughter.) Now, letus see if anything bas re Tecently occurred which makes it necessary to form a party upon the basis of slavery. And herof@llow mo to al! your attention to what we did in reference to the sub- Jeet of slavery. Some time since, as you are aware, a bill pasted Congress to repeal the ‘Missour! compromise, and subsequent to its passage a large number of mon rushed into the Territory of Kansas from Missouri, armed with bluegeons and othér weapons, took possession of the olls and elected a Legislature which passed a variety of laws which are a disgrace to humanity. They claim to have doue so under authority derived from the act of Coa- gress organizing that Territory. Kansas, previous to that time, was free by an arrangement made thirty-four yoar: ego, under which that part of the United States terttory north of thirty-six degrees thirty wninutes, except Mis sourf, was dedicated to freedom, aud the southern part given to slavery. Kansas is now a Territory, the law of Which ever is in favor of freedom, unless tha acts of the eo-called Kansas Legislature ‘Sink. be held valid, in which case it has been’ ced to slavery. Under this state of things the democrats assomb'ed in convention passed two resolutions, (Mr. Van Buren here read the resolutions of the State convention to which he referred.) He continued—We thus declared, in the first pice: tht we condemn these Missouri outrages, and, in the next place, that while we adhere to the com- promises of the constitution, we are opposed to the ex: tension of slavery into free territory. Now, shove reso. Jutions, in judgment, are exactly adapted to the questions now before the people. They seemed te me on- oo cm eg nd it did not oa to me that it would pe necessary to form a new party in consequence of auy- thing omitted to be said by it convention upon the subject of slavery. I have been asked, what is the mean- ing of that resolution introduced by me? They say one construction has been put upon it by one person, and another by another. Iask no person to put a consteue- tion upon that resolution fur me. It is the resolution which was introduced into the Syracuse conyention in 1847. The convention refused to adopt it, and it was then passed by the democrats assembled at Herkimer, and afterwards by the democrats wa» supported Van Buren in 1848, and it has been adhered to by them from that time to this, The presumption, by this time, ix that the gentlemen who advocated that resolution proba- bly understood it; and I have not the slightest reason to doubt that Ido understand it. In the first place, upon the subject of slavery, the practical question is how to | bed the extension of slavery into free territory. t 18 a question upon which we have a right to act and it is a question which affects the State otter York. For example, under the constitution, in the apportion- went of representatives every five slaves count as three ms; consequently a slaveholder who owns five slaves is represented as four persons, Bat a man in the State of New York, though he may own ten millions of pro- perty, is merely counted as one person. This i? an un- equal’ apportionment. But if was ono of the com: promises of the constiiution, and which wo agreed to be bound by, and which we must noquiesce in, #0 far as existing States are concerned.” But when you propose to convert free territory fato slave territory, you propose to increase that inequality upon which is’ based yoar representation in Coagcoss, which lays your taxes, which makes treaties, which de- clares war, and affects the whole property of the soua- try. tis, then, a question with which webave a right to meddle, and whea w inion pon it, ft should be onr trae opinion. This ia im no ense abclition. Itis the ground we took in 1847 ond 1848, and we have adhered to it. This doos not nooossarily require Congress to prohibit slavery in the Territories, because that may be accomplished ander the operatim ofthe Kansas bill, The settlers themselves may pro hibit slavery, but if they should not, then, when tho Ter: i formed into a State and applies ‘for admission you it feom coming into the Union enta itself with a free constitution, {f \ nothing could be mere unwise thi tion now, There are already five 1 f forming thomseives into Scatea, which wilt eunstitutions, If yo raise the south to exclude a State be- they will a Stare whieh come ro and 6 wi ba free co vi : s you will preva adritsafon of five or six f ‘ow, thera are f ways in which i First, by th , ie a at Was dono in’ Calth nay bo for the to assume is, to force execution of the ay AS and, so come out visions of that bill. If that S'done, Ransay will be form. which the result can be at, By the repea! of the com| a Territory like dedicat to freedom four years, was put in peril of being reduced to slavery. Now, any course which {s taken to prevent that result, meets and overcomes the angicipated evil. I have reason to believe the mode we propose will accomplish the object. But if not, 1 agree with those who say ‘Kansas must be free.’ ‘There in plenty of power in the people to be exerted through ogare the Territories to restore Kansas to the eanaitton which the bargsin of thirty-four years ope left it. That power ought to be exerted, then the evit which waa, sntllpated from, the repeal of the compromise, inyy. But gentlemen say that is all true and right, but you are gustaining the admuanistration which brought about that repeal. our resolutions show precisely the extent to which wi support the administration. We approve of their con- duct in reference to the finances; in economy in the public expenditures; in holding public officers to strict accountability, and in the treaties they have made, But is that approving of the action of the administration in reference to Kansas? But it is said the administration is in favor of extending slavery into Kansas, If that is #0, our resolution declares our tixed hostility t@ the ad- ministration, or to anybody else engaged in extending lavery into free territory. That is our position, and it does not subject us to the charge directly or indirectly, of favoring the extension of slavery. Now, let me in- quire what is the ground upon which it is urged that it in necessary fora democrat to leave his party for the purpose of forming a new party upon the subject of slavery. Standing a8 wedo upon the identical ground ‘we occupied in 1848; having now the co-operation of the entire democratic party, instead of a part of it; pre- senting as we do, an eniire set of candidates tanding fair and square upon this platform of resistance to the extension of glayery, I should be exceadingly glad to know upon what ground a new party is to be formed upon this subject, or what eireumstances have created the necessity of forming such a party. I should like to ack Governor Seward when he first discovered the neces- sity of this anti-levery party? In 1848, when we occu- pied ihe same ground, he never saw such necessity. He stood by and saw us stand up to be shot down, while he was quietly securing the election of Zachary’ Taylor, a slaveholder, 1 should like to ask General Nye, one of the bottie holders to Governor Seward and travelling around with him, at what time he discovered the necessity of forming a party upon the basis of anti-slavery? Not in 1852, Kecause then Geueral Nye and Stanton both sup- ported Pierce, platform and all, and even went ao far as to express their wiltingness to assist his acministration bys ing office, which the President declined. (laughtcr.) p to that time, then, they saw no necessity for a party ty. Well, in August, z other than the democratic 1855, General Nye and I were in a democralic convention together. He stayed there two days voting upon the platform and then upon the candidates, and himself pre- sented one candidate alter another, After the conven- tion adjourned, he seemed to be entirely satisfied with its proceedings. But after the fusion convention ad- journed, and General Nye was placed upon its State Central’ Committee, I asked him if he went the fusion movment. He told me no, and that he was supporting the whole democratic ticket. Now, when did he ciscover the emergency which required a new party? I should like to know when. I tell you there is no necessity for it, ond no propriety in it. “There has never been a sug- gestion made which showed the necessity for it, more than there has been for the last thirty or forty years. What kind ofa party is it which they have made? It is based upon acouple of resolutions, which I must take the trouble to read, for the purpose of showing what extraordiaary ositions can be assumed by a party of politicians, and Pow regardless they are of well settied principles of ‘con- (Mr. stitutional law. (Mr. Van Buren here read the resolutions passed by the Republican Convention.) He continued :— It is complimen'ary to these resolutions to call them “abolition.” They deny the fundamental principles of goverument, | They deny the history of the country. hey deny what has been acquiesced in, in regard to the Territories and the States ever since the foundation of our Bovernment. There was no slavery in any of the States of the Union originally. Jt was force upon ua, no® by Jaws establishing slavery, but by laws regulating it after it was established by violence. If these resolutions are true, slavery cannot exist in any of the Southern states, nor in Texas, ‘There never was a more monstrous series of resolotions put forth. And why put forth now? There are no members of Congress to be elected now, bu: last yer there were. Why did not Governor Seward come forward then ? Becatise it was desirable for him to have members of Congress elected from New. York who, should the election of President be thrown into the House, would cast their votes for him. ‘Therefore that was not’a good time for fusion. But now, when his porty is at its last ga+p, he finds a few unsuspicicus demo rats, and pressing them into service, sends them around as stool pigeons to support his falling fortunes. Ideny that there is any reason for this movernent growin out of any transaction of the Souib, ‘The Nebraska ili was never brought for- ward by the Soath, and was never advoca‘el or argued by the South during the thirty-four years the Missouri Com- promise existed. Not a resolation, not a speech, not a petition ever came to Congress from the South in fr- vor of the Nebraska bill. The objection to the repeal of that compromise was—and a fair objec- tion it was—that this territory was fairly divided between the North and the South, and the Sou! having had their share, should not take that whica belonged to the North. Kut if the North offered it to them, could it be expected that they we refusomand vas it any aggreeston todo so? No; nor ix iturae that Southern men ret all other qnestions aside, and make the question of el: yredomivant. Everybody knows that th labor of torcigners. comretes with that of the slaves, and drives it out. Itis true, too, thot they prefer the free States, and build them up, to the prejaiice of the ekolding States, Their poltey, then, would jon to foreigners and in favor of Know Nothing yet, with a single exception, they arrayed them fearlessly and boldly in opposition to the Know Nothly; policy, “Take another instance: Mr. Wise, who has just heen clesied Covernor of Virginia, was a’memiber of the last Virginia Coustitutionel Conveation, and arrayed imeelf ageinst the proposed mixed bast of representa. tion—a basis of slave property and white persons—and advocated the white basis. “Nor is it true that the utbern people desire to extend slavery to free terri try. Sonther politicians may. There are call Cemagegues who must be the champions of some interest, and they nnot be the charapion of an interest unless you first prove that it Daa been assailed, They assert that slavery is in danger, and upon that cry become its chempions. But the peaceful nsof the South do not r¢ the extension of slavery into free territory. They all they want is to be let alone in the enjoyment of their just constitutions! rights, ond no more. They to not desire to be driven into a crusade to extend slavery into free terzitory. This whole crusade, then, azaicst the South I: basid upon a misapprehension of the pubtic sentiment as it exists in that part of the country. There has never been two opinions as to the danger of these sectional parties, from the time of Washington to the present, If sucht parties are formed this Union 1, This great and glorious Union, to which » h, cannot stand under such’an issue. If wo to be dencunced as abolitionists because we ertain these views, an? if the xoath, on cunt of slavery, ‘are to be denouncel 1s robters ond pirates, the consequence will bs we m st separate. It would be indecent for a family to live tuge- ther under such circumstances, anda family of States cannot do it. Tsay, a man who goos around the country getting tp a sectional party, is a traiter to the peace of his countgy, and should be so regarded. (Applause. ) Efforts to create a sectional party sill revolt the peo; > of this State more decidedly than any effort to party, which has heen made within the resol f the oldest man in this room, Coalitions have never su >- ded in winning the popular judginent, and they mot fail. (Applause.) ‘Ant. now a word in Toference to ue appreaehin, tion. We sre now existing when th» public mind is unsettled, and when very of the public men of this country are taking new positions, \t such atime it becomes important to look back and» ¢ what has been the history of the democratic party @i- ving sore of the most importent perfods of the histo y Mf the State of New York. I say the democratic par!y of this State is one of the great institutions of the cou- try. (creat applause.) We love to honor it for t.¢ grea has done, and the good it can do. In the early istory of our polittes, when the first clvil revolution was Jefferson was elected by the vote of the State } ‘ork. In 1812, the most gloomy period of our State’s history, New York upheld the honor of the State, and under Tompkins, carried us throagh the war. In 1817 the rame way abohshed slavery in the State of New York. In 182] the democratic party alterei the Constitution eo as to extend the right of voting to me- chanice, In 1824 and 182, and from that time to 1846, one great system of internal Lo nega was projected under democratic auspices, and has been carried triamph- antly through, the financial policy of the State being all the while conducted with signal success, and its credit upheld. In 1844 the Jemocratic party of the State of New York elected Mr. Polk President of the United States, who achieved brilliant results during his administration, In 1848 that party tock {ts posftion fa reference to the ex- tension of slavery over free territory. and they have ad. hered to ft from that time to this, It has, too, one pesu- linrity, und that is it has the convage to protest those who &me to them from other parties.

The Erie bubble has finally burst, und we may soon lock for the stock down among the forties. The bulls pur- chased largely, both on time and for cash, and the bears purchaged largely for delivery, More than six thousand shares of Erie were sold this morning, opening at 534, and closing at 523g, cash. The ‘happy family” must be just now in a very unhappy state of mind. They did not take hold of the fancy below 64 to 55 per cent, and made large purchases above that mark. At present prices they must be heavy losers; but the end ix not yet. There are about thirty thousand shares of Erie stock in the market, principally in the hands of brokers. In absorbing that quantity, prices advanced from 50 to 56 a 57 per cent; in distribat- ing it prices are likely to run down from 56 a 5? to the neighborhood of 40 per cent. The combination have found it easy enough to buy, but they will find it more difficult to sell. All stocks were down to-day. There was a general decline, but the better clase of secu- rities were mot forced out in large quantities. Reading sold to the extent of nearly three thousand shares at the decline, and closed weak. Hudson River Railroad must gradually bat steadily fall off until it reaches about the point Harlem is selling at now, ‘Thetis more than it is really worth; but as low priced speculativé stocks are wanted more or less, it may hold on for a time among the twenties. The stock ofa railroad company that does not pay ita operating expenses and interest on ite debt, cannot command a very high price in the market, Nica- ragua Transit gold at 17 per cent to-day. The fict that the company made it out a fow days since to be worth 35 percent, bas not had a very favorable effect on the market. Illinois Central bonds sold to some extent this morning at lower prices. The sales sum up more than $100,000, principally for cash, Erie and Budson River bonds were offered freely. State stocks were well main- tained. The sales were only to a moderate amount. Michigan Southern, Michigan Central, Chicago and Rock Island were sold to-day in small lots at prices consi- derably lower than those ruting at the close on Saturday. These are all first class railroad stocks, and are at this moment, even in view of serious fimancial embarrase- ments throughout Europe, unwarrantably depressed. They are firmly fixed ten per cent dividend paying in- vestments, and should be selling at a premium, iastead of ata discount, ‘The quotations current at the first board to-day, com. pared with those ruling atthe close on Saturday, show a decline in Iinois Central bonds of 1 per cent; Chicago and Rock Island bonds, %; Delaware and Hudson, 1; Nicaragua Transit, 1; Canton, %; Cumberland, % ; Erie, 134; Harlem, 3; Reading, 1; Hudson River Railroad, % Michigan Central, 1; Michigan Southern, 34; Panama, Chicago and Rock island, 134; Cleveland and Toledo, 1. There were no sales of Galena and Chicago. At the board 119 was bid—119}¢ asked. New York Central was freely offered at 92 per cent, at which there were large sales. There was quite an excitement in the street among stock speculators, and after the board rtocks were freely offered at lower prices. Conf, dence in the future is rapidly disappeacieg. One of our contemporaries, upon the authority of an old fin- ancier, predicts a fal! in sterling exchange to six per cent. Of what service will it be to this country, if ster- ling exchange should go down to six per cent, if bills ‘were so much discredited that no one would buy them? ‘This is the dificulty. We aiready see gold going to France on account of the discredit of bills, and it is re ported that nearly a million go out in the Canard steamer from Boston, on Wednesday. With stirling ex- change at 9 per cent, there certainly should be no ship meat of specie, under the sual laws of rade; but a para- mount necessity now exists, All laws of traie are now set at deflance, Ihe governments of Bri- ain and France must have gold at eny cost, and so long as we have any to sell, ani so Jong as the present necessity exists, so long will it go forward. The next Liverpool steamer—now nearly due at Halif —will not only bring a confirmation of our last ad but accounts even more disastrous, both in a financial and c mmercial point of view, Another advauce in the rate of interest by the Bank of England may be expeo very soon, and the gold movement in France may have produced a panic as fearful in its effects upon the lower classes aa the numerous political revolutions have been on the higher classes. We are in the midst of most appalling times, and yet how few realize the actual posi- tion of things! How few, having hundreds of thousands at stake, know of the dangers surrounding thea! We are slumbering upona volcano, and its erapticn ig not far distant. After the adjournment of the board the {i of bonds amd stocks were made by Albert H. treat 3,000 Clev.
