Outside the gates of the Tabernacle were certain repre- + @entations of Col, Fremont on a horse, engaged in various predatory expeditions against the aborigines. At an early hour the hall was crowded to excess, Tho meeting ‘was exceedingly warm, exceedingly patriotic, exceedingly enthusiastic and exceedingly unpleasant. The benches ‘were occupied by sundry persons who are not often scen ‘et political meetings. ‘The only incident of note previous to ths organization Of the mecting was caused by the affixing of a lithograph ‘to the organ. ‘ What's that?” cried several enthusiastic “{ndividuals. The affixer responeded, ‘That's Fremont going over the Rocky Mointains.’’ Loud cheers followed. “this statement, and another cry, “Wo'll put bim in the “White House,’’ was raised, and then the cheering was genewed. At 8 o’clock Mr. Hmam Kercnvx called the mecting to order, snd nominated Mr. Thomas B. Stillman as chair- wan of the meeting. Mr. Smuuman came forward, and was rocetved with oud and loug centinued applauno. Ho bogged tho indul- gence of the meeting for his shortcomings. A list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries was then read -gnd adopted by the meeting. Judge Exxet came forward, and was greeted with foud applause. He then made the following speech:— Mr. Caaimmax axp Frttow Crzays—Not having ro- -@eived a programme of the exercises for this evening, and not having received intimation that it was expected of ‘me to report the proceedings of the Philadelphia Conven- ion, till a short time since, I shall have to cravo the in- ulgence of the meeting for the manner in which I present ft. For the materials of the report, I have them only as the proceedings are stamped on og / heart and mind. Bat “I do not mean to say there is any blame upon any one for this short notice—it was my own fault, for I was out of ‘the way. I have no materials for making a report of the eedings of the Convention at Philadel- phia, except those I believe and trust you havo ¢.) Isay Ihave no pt the records, and those are stamped on my own feelings and heart. I have ‘always had an impression that conventions, political onventions, exercised a bad influence in this country; mor have i changed my opinion as regards such oonven- “tions as are gotten up by political managers and agents, who do it for their own purposes, and to divide the apoils when they get in power. But as regards the Convention that met’nt Philadelphia, {t was entirely dif- erent from those got up by party hacks and. managers which are generally held to make frauds upon the will of the peopie. I assert, as regards the Convention at Philade|pbin, that it was-of an entirely different character. (4pplause.)' There appeared to be an entire unanimity Of opinion; every man went there for the purpose of ‘uniting with hts fellow citizens for the one great vand glorious cause. That is what brought us there. 1 never in my life again expect to see another @uch an assembly of respectable men, I say I ‘think it doubtful if circumstances will ever give rise to ao table and,honorable an assembly of men com- posed of the bone and muscle of the country. It opened my eyes, and gave me a lesson I shall never forget. No man who has not travelled much through the country and been intimately acquainted with tho sentiments and intelligence of people, could form any idea of the extent of the political knowledge that exists among them, otherwise than by attending such a Convention as that was at Philadelphia. (Loud applause.) The Convention, tis true, was mado up of mon who had belonged to other parties. There were many old line whigs there, and many @& the old line democrats of the old party fence calcd republicans, It was thon called Bepiblican, aa we are now. (Applause.) I was one of them as others there were, twas the party of Thomas Jetlerson. (Applause.) Well, I bolonged to that garty until ft threw Thomas Jefferson overboard, and sct in his stead two brazen images—Pierce and Douglas. Gous applause.) Gentlemen, tho present democratic Party has not the face to protend to be Jofforsonian demo- @racy. Ifyou talk tothem of being Jeffersonian demo- will change the subject of conversation very eect, the very reason that they havo denied the | eae jes of Jefferson as regards tho Lecll to 7% which he was so strongly 0} 5 \pplause, ‘Delieve if Jefferson was alive now * woul not dare t> his face in Virginia, where he was born, as acan- for any office. Grott now, [shall go on to say that, 8s well as old line democrata, we bad old line whig there. (Applause.) We had men who had belongeil t ll the old healthy parties at one time. W il met together there for the purpose of or- epiting the forces and adopting those principle hich are to save us from perdition. Follow citizens, I ar give you no idea of the unanimity and harmony o section that animated tho mon in that Convention. They «went there, every man with his own choice, every ond hhaving determined which man he would prefer, but they ‘went there also kdowing that it was an impossibility for every man to have the candidate of his first choice. When Tconsidered this, I thought it would require weeks to re- oncile the claims of the different men, and nominate a ‘candidate. But you know it was doue in two days only, And the announcemont of the ballot was received by aananimous shouts of ploasure and "approbation. (Loud use.) And tho men of the different States appoared 0 contend for the purpose“of showing the greatest zeal for the candidate. (Applause.) Gentlemen, there was nother name which was spoken of for a candidate, That name belongs to a favorite son of this State, (Ap- ge.) Allow me to ngme him—Seward. (Great cheering. agsert here, if it had not been for the refusal of Seward, @hrongh his friends, who had been instructed to do so, he would have been declared the candidate by acclamation, Applause.) When his name was mentioned the delega- ge rose andsaluted that name with the most enthasi- atic acclaim. But if not the candidate, he received in afar greater compliment than if ho had been elected. He isa Senator, and is and has been too useful there to be remeved. He can do more by tho power of his eloquence than he could do in the Presiden- tial chair of the Union, (Cheers.) Now, how shall I de- seribe to you the manner in which the name of John C. Fremont was received? (Continued applause.) Tho rush that was made when his name was first mentioned ‘was most singular. To me it is still a matter of surprise, because I] am unable to understand how such men as were in that delegation should take up, without apparently any consideration, @ man like John C. Fremont, who had not any antecedents in political life. But it was because he bad no such antecedents—it was because he was a type of Young America—it was because he was firm, bold and ready to take agtand in defence of hia country. They said, “Now is the time, and John C. Fremont is tho man for it, He is better calculated to lead us to victory than any other.’’ (Enthusiastic cheers.) Any attempt to.say one word against the choice would have been utterly futile, Every man persisted that he was tho best choice, and you might as well try to turn back Niagara with a pitchfork aa to have changed that determination. Th» idea that Fremont was the man for the time was uni- versal, Well, 1 have heard, since I came to New York, a man, one of rome litéle distinction, say he desired to know what Fremont had ever done to entitle him to the Presidency. Well, I did not attempt to tell him what Fremont has done, nor will I attempt-to tell you; but | ‘will tell you what he has not done. hadno handin the repeal of the Missouri compromise. (Applause. no hadsin tho passage of the sns-Nebraska Dill, Applause.) I think it is enough, fellow citizens, Loud eheering,) for his negative qualities. (A voice, “He bad no band in fhe Ostend menilesto.”) No; I thank you,my friend, for that—the Ostend circular bad no help from him, (Applause.)Now, I will tell you what he has done—he ‘has coma re California’ wil in men. -- (Cheers, RS pathfinder zi Monniafan (Gheers: He has starved himself to his poor fellowa. (Cheers.) Ho not only went through his share of all the privation and fatigue of the party that was under his command, but"he took a double share to save those who it is supposed should have taken a larger share of it than himself, This is the man, John C. Bre- mont. Probably, fellow citizens, you have read his book, and who bas ever found anything there that would not become a man fit for any office? I will tell you another thing he won—the heart and hand of Thomas Benton's daughter. And let .mo tell you, that is no insignificant feather in his cap, and itis by no means a small qualifica- tion for being the President of the United States, for, in the first place, a man that is not able to marry a wife never ought to be President. (Cheers.) No man pre- tends tosay that the son-in-law of Thomas H. Benton is deficient in the knowledge of the history and politics of the country. His familiar intercourse with Benton bofore his marriago is an evidence of his political scholarship. He is not one of the weak old men bound by party ties, but a free, determined man. Now, fellow citizens, after we got over the difficulty of President, it was @ much greater difficulty to get a candidate for Vice President, because there aro s0 many men who were looked upon as the proper candidates for this office. There was Mr. Banks, (Cheers.) I confess I was in favor of taking him at first, because he was the man who first led us to triumph. (Applause.) But I soon learned that he pre- ferred being where he is, where he has received the re- ward of his labors. I think, too, it will be well for him to remain there. The next man that rose inmy mind was Charles Sumner. (Loud and long cominued cheering.) Because every drop of blood shed théte on the Senate floor, would be the seeds to spring up and bring forth fruit all over the country. (Three groans were then gi- yen by the audience for Brooks, and cheers for Sumner.) But, fellow citizens, Massachusetts would not partwith Sum- ner. Massachusetts said, ‘No, we mean to send him back to the Senate again.”” “We said, ‘‘We will send him there 10 Preside over the Senate—we shall give him a higher position than you can.’ Massachusetts said, ‘No; he shall go there by our means alone.” Brooks has re- ceived his reward in public contempt, and Mr. Sumner has received his, not only in the sympathy of the freemen but of all men in the North, and it will open to him a ca- reer that will not be eclipsed by that of any other man in this country, (Loud applause.) One word in regard to Mr. Brooks. (A Voice—‘‘Bully Brooks,’ which was repeated by a great many persons.) I am not in the habit of calling names. I do not blame a man for taking the law in his own hands when he has good cause; but I was ever of opinion that in the first place, the person who does it must act like a gentleman in doing it— not like a coward. 1 do not mean to say Brooks is a coward. (Laughter.) A bold man may sonie- times make a mistake; but I will say he’ has not been brought up in the right school of honor. Thero are some men who gay they are glad Brooks has done this; there are also men who would be glad if Louis Napoleon’was assassinated, but they would not do it themselves; so it is with this asgault, they would not do it themselves. At this point Judge Epwonps interrupted the speaker and stated that Mr. Howard, the Chairman of the Kansas Committee, appointed by Congress, was present, and would address the inoeting: After the cheering with which Mr. Howard’s appoar- ance was greeted had subsided, Judge Emorr resumed his speech by saying that he had only a few more words tosay. They all knew what was done at pees and they had read the platform from there ad Di they approve of thas platform? (Loud cries of “Yes,” “Yes,” and three cheers were given for the platform.) ‘They were not as yet great Cy ogge party, and were not initiated into the tactics of the other old parties. They had this advantage over the other parties—that they were pure and disinterested with regard to the motives that so often swayed politicians in their movements, They were taunted with being abolitionists, and with de- siring to create dissensions between the North and South. They knew, however, that their object was a conserva- tive one, that they were the best friends the South had at this moment, and that they would save the South, if possible, from themselves. een Abolitionism ad been a term of reproach used in this country against any man who was supposed at ail to be affected with any free soil sentiments. He was of the opinion that it did no man’s conscience any harm to examine himself upon this question of the abolition of slavery. He did not mean the immediate abolition of slavery, but he meant the general question about the extension of slavery in this country. (Applause.) He was not in favor of meddling or disturbing institution of slavery where it oxisted, where it was protected, or where it derived its legal ox- istence from municipal laws. (Applause.) He most cer- ole hoped that the time would come when slavery should cease to exist in this country, and when the prin- ciples of Thomas Jefferson and other great men of the South should be carried into practical effect. He concluded by saying, potwithatanding the discouraging aspect of things with which they had to contend heretofore; not- withstanding the troubles in Kansas; notwithstanding the cess in Congress of measures calculated to fix slavery as a curse upon the North, that he began to seea brighter day breaking in upon them. The star of liberty was in the ascendant. They should now put their shoul- ders to the wheel, and put forth their best efforts to accomplish the glorious object which they all had so much at heart. owed a duty to their country and their posterity, and if they were faithful to that duty their posterity would bless them for the efforts they were now making. (Applause. ) Loud cries tor Howard, Howard.) ir. Howax, M.C., of the Kansas Congreasionat Com- inittee, as he rose to address the meeting, was greeted with the most rapturous cheering. He spoke substantially as follows :— Follow Citizons—When the committee of which I have the honor to be a member, undertook the difficult and ar- duous duty assigned them, of investigating as far as they could the affairs of Kansas, we decided that it was proper for us to pursue that investigation with as little preju- ible, and with all possible fairness amd thoroughne without the fear or favor of any man. (Applause.) We found it necessary, however, sometimes to act without reference to fear for ourselves. Applause.) Jn order to discharge this most delicate, most important and difficult duty, we laid it down as a fundamental principle that we would take no part in any public demonstration, and that we would in no public man- ner express any views or any opinions with reference to any of the questions which came before us, until we had closed our labors and put our seal to the record by which we were bean] to live or die. (Applause.) We havo stendily adhered to that purpose—at least, mysolf and col- loague, (Mr. Sherman,) who constitute a ‘majority of the committee. I propose to do so to-night. (Applause, and cries of ‘* good,” -‘ goed.’’) We have some three or four more days labor to perform to close up this business, and until that is done, you will hear no voice from me with regard to any of those matters about which there can be any difference of opinion among our fellow citi- zens. (Applause, and cries of “ good,’ oo.”) Bat I confess when I came here and saw this sea of up- turned faces, although J never was an orator and never could make a good speech, yet, being a Western man, I had @ eoul within me, (epplanse,) and it was as much as I could do to hold back, and [ found myself pulling off my coat before I knew where I was, (Laughter and ap- plause.) Iam all right now, however; (laughver;) Toan- not talk to you about Kansas aifaira; I w like to ad- drees you upon other subjects, (Cries of “ goon,” ‘go on.’’) But I cannot go on. I lay upon my back in Detroit under the care of a physician on my way here, and I agsure you I shall not waste my strengh upon you. (Laughter.) 1 simply rose to make you my apol y and tender you my thanks for the cordial greeting whic! you have extended to the committee. If wo do not de- serve anything, we do not ask any thing. We aimed simply todo our duty under all possible circumstances. If we sueeeeded in doing our duty, we shall feel rejoiced If we did not, It is too late now to mend the matter. I may say with’ regard to Kansas, without entering upon any discussion, that when I heard of cases of outrage, fraud, violence and invasion, they seemed to me like ro- mance. IJ thought, yer chance, that the newspapers some- times might have made glowing articles out of very com- mon events. Provious to going to Kansas we took es) cial [tind to provide ourselves with all the accounts tha’ had been published in reference to the condition of things there. We procured papers of different political views, and we cut them up and made scrap books, in order that wo might get everything that had beon said about the state of allairs in Kansas, and bave these accounts before usas we proceeded with our imveseigation, With these alds we pursued our course, and all I have to say about it ia, that what at firstappearcd like romance has become to mo a most fearful and living reality—(applause)—terriblo in ite far-reaching consequemees. It stirs and so warms the blood that I can hardly contemplate it. I have no more to say, and in conclusion I would thank you, fellow citi. wns, for the cordial greeting which you have extended to me, and I trust that you will see the propriety of my do- clining to speak of Kansas matters, (Applause.) After “Hail Columbia” by the band, Judge Edmonds Proceeded to read the following resolutions — Resolved, That we aceept the platform and the candidates of the Republican National Convention reoently convened at Philadelphia, and will give them our cordial and earnest support, in the confident expectation through their in- strumentality, peace and harmony wil restored to our people; the true principles of freedom will be diffused abroad QTEE Wig Whoig fag apicit of proseripiga aud ia MORNING EDITION—THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1856. mf Please, whatdo you want to interfere with them fort” The peopic of Kansas, too, have no choiceas' to their Judges and Clerks of courts.

How did they get the power? Why, we all contend that Congress has no right to legislate upon the subject of slavery, and how can it give to the Territorial Legislature what it has not got? Now, this was right cnough, says Senator Douglas, because we both intend to submit it to the Supreme Court. The case was somewhat like that tubinitted to the jury, who had returned as their verdict that they had agreed to disagree. The Court reprimanded them, and sent them back; and I think it will be well to reprimand those gentlemen, and send them bome, Laughter and applause.) This is the great principle of ¢ Nebraska bill, and they would no more dare to make Northern specch upon it in a Southern State than would to cut off their fingtrs. But, again, how is that bill understood? ‘The Sonth ’ contend that they are unanimous in that, that under the idea of equality among the States—and'I wish to state the posi- tion fairly—that under the idea of equality in the rights of the States, a slayeholder has the right to emigrate into apy of the Territories, take his slaves with him, and hold them as long as the Territory Jasts. They say’ that the Territories are the common property of the peoplo of the Union, and it is unjust to the people of the South not to allow them to take their property there. Well, I tried also to smoke my @mrade out of that, but he took re- foge again in the Supreme Court, and did not want to pre- judice the question when it came up before the pas ea Court; so he would not give his opinion. (Laughter.) Now, this question takes glavery, not only into Kansas and Nebraska, but it takes it into every Territory of the Unior—into Oregon and Minnesota—because if, under that clause of equality, you have a right to go into one Territory, you haye the same right to go into another; and it gives not only a right to take slavery into ‘Territories, but to States; but the slayeholder of the South has a right to eome into New York and hold his slaves here as he has in Kansas. I defy mortal man to find in the Constitution of the country any clause relating to equality of rights, that does not apply as much to emigration from State to Btate, as from State to Terri- tory, Now, when an individual emigrates to another territory, does he take the laws thet he lives under at home with him? If he does, then there will be laws enough to produce a confusion as great as that of the tongues at the Tower of Babel. They would then haye as much right to enforce the licence laws of the city of New York in the Territory of Kanzas as they would have to enforce the laws of South Carolina. When you go into a ‘Territory you must submit to the municipal laws in force thore. ‘If there is a law establishing slavery there, you must submit to it, but if there is no law of the kind, the congequence is the slaye is free the moment he passes its boundary. This must be so unless slavery is the normal condition of man. (Laughter and applause.) It is only by municipal regulations that they held the black man a a slave. A Vorcr—There are plenty of white slaves there. Mr. T.—Well, they will have plenty of them in th: North, ifthey keep on This law is not for the protection of the whites; it is not for the protection of ourselves and our liberties against this slavery propegandism, which, if it succeeds in taking slavery into the Territories, will take it also into the States of the Union. You need not tell me that slavery won’t come into the Nort. I know it is the popular argument that slavery can only exist where cotton and rice aro raised. Yhat is a fallaey. The pro- duets of Missouri don’t differ from Illinois, and slavery can just as well exist in one as the other. Slavery ceased to exist in the North not because it was unprofitable, but Decause it was Soaened to the principle of liberty which animated your father and mine when they walked forth to the batiles of the Revolution. (Applause.) ‘'Fhey freed their slaves in the North, and at it time emeacipation was popular. Jefferson was in favor of ih ‘A Voicx—And so was Washington. Mr. T.— Washington, certainly ; but a choge has come over the spirit ef the South since then, and slavery which was then being weeded out has become aggres stve, and an attempt has been made to spread the black fing of slavery over all the free Territorics of the West. Now, are you prepared for this? (Cries of “No, no.’’) How do they meet us? They say, you whe are opposed 1o the spirit of slavery are opposed to the-spirit of free government. Well, Ihave shown that that is a mistake. But they tell us we are abolitionists, which is just as false as when they said they were the friends of the con- stitution and true democrats, because, when you look over the platform just adopted at Philadelphia, you find no such thing in that platform. We are charged with it; but, if you read those resolutions, you willifind that they declare allegiance to the constitution, the rights of the States, and the®union of the States—they declare that those rights shall be preserved. (Applause.) This ts the falso clamor which they raise. But they say you want to ro- peal the Fugitive Slave law; toabolish slavery in the District of Columbia, and to prohibit the slave trade between the States. This is all gammon, got up for the purpose of alarming the ine mind—they know it is all untrue. ‘The principles jaid down in Philadelphia aro the princi- ples of our fathers, For more than fifty years after this government waa established no man questioned tho right of Congress to regulate the government of tho Territories, or to prohibit savery in them. Suppose the framers o! the Declaration of Independence and our constitudon ‘were aesembled herc to-night and to declare that their object was to insure domestic tranquillity and to have a more perfect union; and suppose they were cadled upon, as you are now, or wore in 1854, to organize Terri- tories for » vast tract of country hitherto untrodden save by savage men, where no stave had ever been—do. you suppose they would have provided for tho admission of slavery’ (Applause) In laying a foundation for a f°. vernment in Kansas, do you think they would say that rlavery should go in there? (Cries of “No!?? “No!'’), No, they would belie their own acts and would do no- such thing. (Applause.) Now candid, reflecting. men, who wish to do their duty and preserve the constitution and the Union in its spirit. Let mo ask this uestion.

Senator Trrwpviz, of Jll., who was introduced by the Chairman as a collcague of Stephen A. Douglas, was the next speaker. He spoke as follows :—Coming, as I do, from what a few years ago was the far distant West, whero a great portion of my life has beon passed, I shoul have felt some hesitation in appearing before an audience in this commercial metropolis of the Union and the con- tinent, did] not know that you were all lovers of the fame constitution, and the friends of thesame Union, that wo love and cherish in the distant prairies of Illinois. (Applause.) It does my heart good to look over thia assembly, and I think I feel like the inhabitants of Judea, when the shepherds of old went forth proclaiming glad tidings of great joy. They saw the star in the East, aed it was a tohcn to them of liberty, cternal liberty bey the grave. (Applause.) This mecting fea tartitger) I trust, of that liberty which will be perpetual in America. (Appilause.) The questions at issue at this time before the people of the United States aro questions involving your liberty and mine. It is only necessary that those questions should be understood to give our ticket a unaniincus vote throughout the Count iA aN the South as well as the North; for I teil you that it is b misrepresentation of the sentiment North, by a & ing the principles of those who oppose the spread of sia- very that the South has been aroused and united together in a sectional party, as one man, against the North. It is because this party has falsely arrogated to itself the name of democracy, by assuminga name to which the: bave no title, by pretending to advocate principles whic! they daily trample inthe dust, that the great mass of the peopl ¥ of aoe Kye is Phot te to be thle I im no appeal, gentlemen, to make to your passions or preju- dices. Tam one of those who believe that the heart of ag? mass of the people of this country, North and South, is sound, when they properly understand the questions at issue. (Cries ‘of “Good, good,” and ap- plause.) I believe they are loyal tothe constitution um- der which we live. I believe that the party now banded bey Shee in this country, and which has inscribed upon its banner princfples that they do-not carry out, if offered to succeed, will be destructive of the liberties of the country. I wish, in the remarks which I shall make this evening, to appeal to the candor and judgment of y impartial man who listens to me, while I shall en- to unmask the hypocrisy of the party which has falsely assumed the name of the democratic party, and which ought never to be called by that name. (Cries of “ Good,’? * good.?”) T belonged io that good old demo- cratic party which believed in liberty of specch, in pro- tection to the La of the people, and in carrying on the goyernment under the Constitution as our fathers made and understood it. That democratic party 1 loved and cherished, and was proud to bea member ; but it was not the party that has now assumed the name of the democratic party. There is something in a name—there is a potency about it which has bad the effect of mislead- ing many persons. I am amazed that anybody under- standing the fact that this party are now battling to ex- tend slavery, and trample in the dust the most sacred guarantees of freedom in our constitution should nel to this party the name of ‘‘democratic.”” Now as I wish to treat them fairly, let us inquire what their views ate. Have they bad presented in their platform democratic principles? (Cries of ‘“No, no.’’) Was it not a part of the old democratic creed that the government should be economically administered? Weil, this administration, that pretends to be a democratic one, is spending more money every year than any administration ever expended before, even in time of war. In a time of profound pecs you are taxed more than $70,000,000 for office holders to fatten upon and carry on the elections, It is by means of money taken from your pocket and mine that poison is scattered all over the land. What is the great principle that binds the administration wn together? (A voice, “The public plunder.’’) y, some one says, “The public plunder.” I think 80 too. “A few days ago, a distinguished whig, a gentleman who had been a whig all his life—one @f the most eloquent men in this or any other land—camo out im the United tl a States Senate and avowed his adhesion to what he called | principles enunciated at Philadelphia, ie jeers.))

To accommodate those who could not get into the Te- bernacle, two outside meetings were organized, one em the steps at the end of the hall leading into the Taber- nacle, and the other in the street, fronting the entranos. At the former meeting, C. C. Leigh presided, and after: making a few remarks himself, introduced Mr. Lymem Sherwood, who spoke some half hour.

B, Milliken, 8. A. Mix, of Schoharie county; Calvin Pepper, of Albany, and others, spoke at this stand, amid tho’ mingled roar of omnibuses, an occasional target company paasing, with a band of music at its head, and the cheers af the standing auditors. THE SCENE AT MR. FREMONT’S HOUSE. Upon coming out of the Tabernacle, in accordance with the notice at the meeting inside, nearly all who had bera inattendance at the meeting filed ina line of march, ff.” teen abreast, with a band of music at their head, for Got. Fremont’s residence in Ninth street. Some five thousand were in tho procession. They marched up Broadway te Ninth street, compelling omnibusses to turn off into side streets. Along the entire route, continued and enthusias~ tic cheers were given for Fremont and Dayton. As the crowd turned into Ninth strect and neared’ the residence, of Colonel Fremont, the cheers grew louder and the en- thusiasm more universal and ardent. From Fifth te Sixth avenues the streets presented one compact mass of human beings. ‘The band stationed itself immediately im front of Col. Fremont’s house, and filled up the interval of iting for Mr. Fremont to appear, witha medley of tunes from ‘Hail to the Chief’ to the ‘Brave Mountain Pio- neer,’’? Cheers for Fremont and calls for his appearanes: at Jength drowned the music. A gentleman stepped out on the balcony and announced that Col. Fremont would soon be ready to respod vw their calis, A voiee in the crowd cried out to light some torches om the balcony that they might see Col. Fremont. The wish was instantly seconded by the whole crowd. In a few moments, during which the band kept up its ea- blame must pot be attached to his blunders, for he did nothing but talk aud chatter with Lord Claren- don the whole time he was in England. He effected nothing, but that may be attributed more to his stupidity than anything else. He should at least have come to some understanding with the government of Great Britain in pen, ink and paper, but ho did no such thing. He only talked’the matter over from day to day, and now it re- mains just where Mr. Buchanan found it on his arrival at the Court of St. James. Nations deal like individuals, and need matters to be arranged in writing. There is one thing in reference to the democratic platform that I wish to refer to—that is the Cuban question. Tho doctrine of these democrats is to get Cuba atall hazards. They will endcayor first to buy it from Spain; and if the Spanish government refuse to sell it, why, they will have itanyhow. This aggressive policy will’ ruin our com- merce, both foreign and domestic. Remember what Gen, Jackson said, ‘Ask nothing that is not right, and do not submit to anything that is wrong.” (Cheers.) The speaker then animadverted severely upon tho Ostend Conference and Mr. Buchanan’s position upon the Cuban question, arguing that if the doctrines of the demo- cratic party were carried into effect, utter ruin would over- take this now flourishing and powerful country, On the other hand, if the glorious principles of the ‘republican party were carried out, the eitizens of the North and South alike would be protected. The aggressions of the South would bejprevented, but Southern people would be protect ed in thelr rights and privileges—such rights and privile- ges as were guaranteed to themby the constitution. Mr. Turnbull closed his address with an earnest appeal for the election of Fremont, which was the only means by which order could be restored in Kansas. Among the many benefits that would be secured to the people of this coun- try by tho election of the republican candidate was the building of the Pacific Railroad and the restoration of those principles which actuated the movements of our fore- ph Hk rpeallee a bz) pany Ae ecg olla, fathers. The speaker then took his seat amidst great ap- | ony. "Ehe’ lights having been.” duly hari planse, when the band struck up “Hail to the Chief.” After Mr. Trumbull had concluded, there were loud cries of “Adjourn,”? ‘Wilson,”” “Procession,”” ‘The Cuair introduced Mr. Francis E. Kimball, Attorney General of the State of Ohio, who said:— ‘cllow citizens—I do not come before you at this late hour (10:15) so much for the purpose of making a speech as from a sincero desire that the voice of Ohio should be heard on this great occasion.
