When they camo here, they bad, of course, their instructions to vote for Commodore Stockton. If they cold not get the man of their choice, they were just as ready to support any other man who was a3 equally good an American, and was as equally imbued with American principles; they were just as ready togofor union, harmony and victory as were the loud boasters who came there. The moment desertion of their principles took place, by the commission of any overt act, that moment their standard must fall; and he The minutes were adopted. Haisrsap, of N.

Mr. President—Being convinced from the proceedings of this Conveftion, that it is guided by the counsel, overned by the will, and that its action will be referred te the decisien of the Republican Convention about to bo held at Philadelphia, thereby violating the integrity of 0 American party, and merging it into an organization ‘h may prove to be nothing clse but that of the aboli- tion party, the New Jersey delegation baye instructed me to withdraw the nime of Robt. F. Stockton from the list of candidates before the Convention. We do sa because, having been ourselyes elected as representatives of the Americaa party, and having nominated him as an ardent and illustrious member of that party, we do not feel an- thorized to subject his name or claims to any Convention avowing different, and it may be, hostile principles.

But I am ono of those who, looking to the signs of to times, believe that unless the ‘principles which we advocate’ prevail, unless wo can resetie and save our {nstitutions from outrage and from not worth preserving to tho Ameri- s.) IM our fathers have expended their wisdom, and their energy, in the nent of a government of free institutions, of it is absolutely necessary that we, their des- cendants, shall maintain those institutions in their purity, and save them from being wrested to purposes of per- sonal, and of sectional, and of universal wrong. (Ap- plause.) Fellow-citizens, we desire to do—what?. T bring into our American institutions an American feelin and an American heart. We desire to surround thes institutions by men who feel that they are influenced by n other motives than those which are associated and couneet ed with American institutions, We desire that those wh would court an influence which is beyond your control a American citizeas—outside of your jurisdiction—should cease to havo influence or control over you. (Applause. We are desirous at the same time to sed that the institu tions of the country guaranteo to her citizens the liberty of speech, the freedom of the press, the freedom fo. holding property, secure from violence and from wrong (A voice, “Good for Johnston.’’) Wo believe that if you extend over the territories of the United States which are now frce an institution which has constantly produce but one result, and that result the retarding of the pro gress of the himan race, of human improvement—ot in- tellectual as weil as social improvement—if you extend that institution over the territories of the United States, you are doing a wrong and violence to the institutions un- der which we live.

He was in favor of the Union, ono and inseparable, now and foreyer. It was the hope of strug. gling freedom everywhere. But jet them go on and make their country great, and the opposition of the South would amount to nothing. Let them improve thoir rivers and harbors, and not pursue such a course of policy as the democratic administration did, for if they yoted to im- prove a river or harbor North, the bill was voetood; and it thoy voted to improve a river or harbor South, tho bill was signed. Yom Corwin had once said that the question of river and barbor improve ments by the government of tho United States had become a question of chemical analysis, for if the water were salt then the improvement was constitntional, but if the water were fresh jt was unconstitution Bub under the administration of Franklin Pierce another ques tion was asked, and that was, whether the banks of tho river to ba improved were settied with whites or were settled with blacks, Buchanan would be sure to follow in the same stepe; Buchanan was now a nonentity, and was merely the personification of a platform concocted by Pierce, Doaglas aud the Devil. He had pledged bimseit out ail the devilment they bad begun. If the ad tiom sicceeded they iid not have a fair divi- sion of women in the country, for, nnder the squatter law principle, Brigham Young would be in with his followers, having some thirty-nine wives apiece. (Langhter.) What great work did the admipistyation ever perform? A Vorew—Greytown. Mr. Forp—I thank the gontleman for tho suggestion. Aye, they seat down a fellow of the name of Borland to Greytown. He got drunk, of course, went into a cellar and was knocked on the head with an empty bottle. Ho told Frank Pierce how these naked fellows bad treated him, and Frank Pierce said that this great country would sub- mit to ne such indignity—(laughter)—and he sent down Captrin Hollins to demand an apology. “ Bless your soul,” said the naked savages to Capt. Holiins, “wo bave no one to make an apology for us. “ Well,’? said ho, ‘ If you have no one to make an apology, you must pay $10,000 for reparation.” ‘‘ $10,000,"" said hoy, © why, We could not give you five dollars.’’ So Captai Hollins and his force set to work and battered down their mud ranches, and drove away the naked savages, with their wives and children. This waa the conquest of Greyiown, Which was only completo after they had stolen th pigsend clitckens, and then returned in triumph to the United States. (Great laughter.)
