Fillmore Meeting at the Merchants’ Exchange. ADDRESS OF THE HON. WASHINGTON HUNT. HE IS OPPOSED TO SLAVERY IN KANSAS, DISUNION OUT OF THE QUESTION He Believes the Conservative Men of Both Sec- tions are too Strong for the secessionists, &o., &o, &o. The announcement that Hon. Washington Hunt would, in compliance with the invitation of some of the adhe rents of Millard Fillmore, address his fellow citizens from the steps of the Merchants’ Exchange, yesterday after- noon, drew a crowd of between fifteen hundred and two thoueand persons in front of that building. There were not certainly more than two thousand present, at the ut- most; and although they occasionally broke out into somewhat boisterovs cheering, on the whole they were not very epthusiastic. Perhaps it was their fault, por. haps it was the fault of the epeaker, and again, perhaps it was the fault of both. Mr. Hunt had, {t appears, written out his speech for the press, and scme kind friends, before it was delivered, had interlarded it with the applause of the audience. On account of this arrangement, they had not provided a table or chairs for the reporters, who were informed that they did not need any, as one of the papers (the Fillmore organ) bad the speech in typo, and would furnish slips to all who required them. Ag the Herat was not amoog the number, and as we preferred to give the speech as it was spoken, and not as written, with tha cheers and ap- Plause inserted in advance, we declined the offer, and Present our readers with the address as delivered in Wail street. Mr. Huy Sxrvxr called the meeting to order, and nominated for President SHEPHERD KNAPP, Esq , who was chosen by acclamation, He said:— Fettow Crnzens—Two of the great political parties of the country have already, on the steps of the Mer- cbant’s Exchange, presented the claims of their respec Uve candidates to the support of the citizens of this me. topolis. The immense assembisges then convened, in cluding the vast concourse of to-day, sufficiently attes: ‘the importance of the coming contest. We concur in the opinion tbat the approaching election is one of trapecendant importance he decision to be made is, in our judgment itally connected with the harmony, if not the very existence of the Union. We wish to pro- serve that Union in it ‘it—to harmonize all its to the country, and the whole country, such government as not only insure Peace at home and peace with all the nations of the earth, but shail develope all the resources and powers of the nation, and eleva‘e it to that high ition to which it can be ajvanced by wise counsels and firm and decided actien. To effect these most desirable objects we know no statesman to whom we can I~ok with more con fidence than to Millard Fillmore. shows ) He has been tried. He came to the admi jon of the government when the country was profoundly agitated, so that the wisest men of all parties trembled vhe existence of the Union itself. He jed our for relations with patiiotism, wisdom firmocss. He tranquilized the passions of contending factions at home. Agi ation was quelled, and he left the nation in harmony ‘and peace, amid the universal ulations of a grate- ful country. Ait! jh these antecedents are well known to you, and need bardly to be urged upon your atication, yet we have availed ourselves of the accidental presence in our city of our dis tinguished fellow ciuzen, Washington yee to invoke his testimony to the merit aad the claims of Mr. Fillmore. To no one could we better peal than to the patriotic Governor who the chief executive office of the State with wisdom—whbose lesdipg aim .n that bigh nationalize the commonwealth which had its bead—to regard it as part only of one common try, to inculcate kindpees and paternal regard members of our wide-spread Union, however dilforing climate or pursuitse—and who, through good report and evil report, amid the sncers of partizans and the ravings of fapatics bas stood firmly erect, the unwavering cham- oien of the constitution.

Far from desiring to stimulate angry passions, or to arouse the elements of discord to incroased Intensity, would to heaven it were in my power to allay tho spirit of contention which is abroad and to restore that feeling of fraternal kindness snd brotherhood which carried the Colonies suc cersfully through the Revolution, and enabled our patriot fathers to achieve the imdependence of the States, and afterwards to unite them by ties of concord and fraternity which they fondly hoped would be mdissoluble and perpetual. (Loud cheers.) Whether the Union, which was then formed, shall be rent asun- der, or whether \t shall stand during future ages to bless the generations of mankind, must depend upon the fideity of the American people, and in a great measure upon the continued cultivation and preservation of kindness and geod will between the two great sections of our country which compose the United States of America.
