It has often been said, t sorry confess not without some shade of truth, that wherever there are two Germans logether there are three different inions among them.

It was in the German character to be thankful. Some of those present had come here and gained positions, and those who had not, bad gained the privilege to bs free men and independent citizens, For this they ought to be thankful.

The questicn was now, whether they (the Germans) would etand by the side of liberty or by the si of oppression. The government of the Union had long been very lenient and discreet, but it bad exhausted ites patience. Patience had ceased to be a virtue. There was no question now whether war or no war; war had been wantonly and de- liberately forced upon us, and they (the Germans), were ready tor war. Mr. Wesandonk created considerable on- thusiaem among the thourands of Germans present After he had finished his speech in English, he con. tinued in German, and remarked:—It has often been asked why we make war against the South? War cannot last for ever, and the South can be exterminated but not bg But this is not the question; we have to punieh rebellion, and the victory will be on the side of North.

Gustavus Sravv, Esq.,a gentleman whose white and intelligent looking head is adorned by very fery oyes, | aod who bas been general in the war of 1845, against the government of Baden, created an unbounded enthusi- aem by his appearance on the stand.

Mr. Strve seemed highly impressed with the object of bis , and was repeatedly interrupted by the cnthu: winetic cheers of the crowd, which gave three other cheers for the gentleman when he left. Let us act, not Speak. The freedom, which is our palladium, shall be defended by the brave sons of Germany. SPERCH OF MR. RICHARD WARREN.

SPEECH OF MR. 0. 0. HERNDORFER. The following address was delivered before the necting | by Mr. Oswarp Orvendorren, editor of the New York Staats Zeitung: — In his intaoductory remarks he alluded to the occasion which bad given rise to euch an unparalleles and trul: sublime digplay of enthusiasm and patriotic feeling. He maintained that we wore here to save the groundwork of our institutions, in the acknowl ent of our lawful au- thor ities, in the regard for the result of an election agree- able to & constitution 80 universally admit to | be the pillars of our po itical existence, the bulwark of cur liberties and our prosperity. Take away these pil lars, or eufer their disintegration, and the ‘whole Proud | siructuro will tumble into atoms. Look around, er peruse the pages of the history of the country, and tell us what ts the ee:ret of our progreas and success? Political parties have contributed to the advancement of the country by | n.eane of the application of such principles, which in thee opinion could be made instrumental to the furtherance i of cur general welfare. But this display of the activyxy spd powrrs of partier could never have been successful without fea)ty to the cardinal principle, that every lawful election carries with it the duty of abeyance in in its result, and that only from a strict | adherence to this obligation and a party can maintain its ascendancy and command the confidence of the people. Unconditional obedience to self creaved laws, apd implicit respect for the decision of the popular witl were the fruitful sources of party power and prestige not alone, by the reasons which have ied the whole civilized world at once to admire our sys tem, and to fear or cheer our progress. The proof of the capability of man for aelf. governraent—as made apparent | from our ¢xample—was gaining ground among the lovers of Vberty of ail nations, and presented an ever active stimulus to our own people to contribute to its | reareertion snd confirmation. At this very hour we are | bere areembied for the very same oojeet As tothe ways | vod meape through which that end is to be reached, con trary opinions have not failed to be maintained, and ia | particnlar a8 to the recognition of the resu'to’ our late Presidential election, Such has been the case, and hae been a fruitful source of of various dercriptions. The refusal of such r parta of the country, the obstinate r titutionally created authority, the stubvorn denial of eetablished and fundamental truths, the rejection of every conciliatory pri ition, and many other shaves of opnicn found their adherents; and with Pome it was dift- cult to reasom at ail, or to persuade them that the appli cation of power or the resort to revolution was not always the safest way to adjust diicultioa or to retrieve wrongs. Jt Ss not long since that every shape and variety of opinions have found their asherense among our people. bvery body understood perfectly well, thatthe maintsin ance of our lawful auchorities was imperative aud indis- peneadle; very few, however, agreed as to the manner 1p Which that end was to be jeved, ant how in par- ticular the pending revolution which had given evils rise to @ renewal of all these diversities of opinions, was to be treated; but on cae point all tgreed, namely, that obedience to the com stitutional powers was to be exac al) eventa, either by means of persuasion or by force. (ur meeting here i# proot to the fact, that patriotiom and loyaliy, have conquered prejudice and alionation, and that ail are united in OMe CommMON purpose, the maintainanse of the authority of cur goverpment, the protection of our fag and property, and the correction of palpable error, that have been the consequence of the machinations of men disloyal and iai- mical alike to the Union and to their best in'erests an} wellare. ‘The eventa of the last few day# have all of us convinced of the futility of the appl'ca sion of any further consiliatory mesures, and that the people of the United States eee nothing left them veyond an appeal fo the ultima , force; and in order to uphold the very | exis of’ the na‘ion, and to perpetuate the blessings of that Union under which we al alike, ourselves and the revolutionists, have prospered jn 80 unprecefiented a degree. But if force ja once to bo applied let us do it vigorously and without faltering and hesitation.
