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 ovght to be thankful. There was a particular rea- son for them to be patriots, and this was because they were naturally republicans—not republicans in the political meaning in this country, bul in the real sense of the term.

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 sul ated. But this is not the question; we have to punith rebellion, and the victory will beon the side of jorth. To be sure the Nerth was very slow; the had six months for preparation; they have armed them- i carry this war to the last extremity, becauge we wont to give the rights to the South which are dae to them; but we want some rights for ourgelves, too.

Mr. Strve seemed highly impressed with the object of his speech, and was repeatedly interrupted by the enthu. wiaetic cheers of the crowd, which gave three other cheers for the gentleman when he left.

SYEECH OF MR. 0, 0. HERNDORFER. The following address was delivered before the ineeting by Mr, Oswarp Oriexporrer, editor of the New York Staats Zeitung: — In his intacductory remarks he alluded to the occasion which had given rise to such an unparallcles and trul sublime dieplay of enthusiasm and patriotic feeling. He maintained that we wore hore to save the groundwork of our institutions, in the acknowledgment of our lawfu! au- thor ities, in the regard for the result of an clection agree. able to @ constitution 80 universally admitt to be the pillars of our po itical existence, the bulwark of cor liberties and our prosperity. Take away these pil jars, or evfler their disintegration, and the whole proad structuro will tumble into atoms. Look around, or peruso the pages of the history of the country, and tell us what is the se:ret of our progress and success? Political parties have contributed to the advancement of the country by n.¢wnk of the application of such principles, which in their opinion could be made instrumental to the furtherance of cur general welfare. But this display of the activcy and powers of parties could never have been succersful without fealty 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 usage a party can maintain its ascendaiecy and command the confidence of the people. Unconditional obedience to self created laws, and implicit reepect for the decision of the popular will were the fruitful sources of party power and prestige not alone, by the reasons which have ied the whole civilized worid at once to admire our sys- tem, and to fear or cheer our progress. The proof of the capability of man for gelf.governrnent—as made apparent from our éxample—was gaining ground among the levers of liberty of ail nations, and presented an ever active stimulus to our own people to contribute to its reageertion end confirmation. At this very hour we are | bere areembied for the very same ooject As to the ways | vnd meare through which that end is to be reached, con 8 ng have not failed to be maintained, and ia | to the recognition of the resu'to’ our late Presidential election, Such has been the case, and has been a fruitful source of evils of various dercriptions. The refusal of such recognition in some parts of the country, the obstinate resistance to the con- stitutionally created authority, the stubborn denial of established and fun ental truths, the rejection of ition, and many other shapes of op nicn found their a ents; and with some it w cult to reagom ata, or to persuade them that the appli- cation of power or the regort (o revolution was not always the safest way to adjust dillicultios or to retrieve wronge. It im not long since that every shape and variety of opinions have found their asherenie among our people. Everybody understood perfectly we $tbe maintein ance of our lawfvl auchorities Was imperative and indis- pereadle: very few, however, agreed as to the manner in which that end was to be ieved, and how im par- ticoMr the pending revolution which had given rice t9 @ renewal of all these diversities of opinions, was to be treated; but on one point ell tgreed, namely, that obedience to the con stitutional powers was to be exac all events, either by means of persuasion or by force. Cur meeting here is proof to the fact, that patriotism aud loyalty, have conquered prejudice and alienation, and that all are united in ODe Common purpose, the maintainance of the authority of our goverpment, the protection of our flag anil property, and the correction of palpable errors, that have been the conrequence of the machioations of men disloyal and ia\- mical alike to the Union and to their best interests aut wellare. ‘The eventa of the last few days haye all of us convinced of the futility of the applica ion of any further consiliatory mea#ures, and that the yeople of the United States see noth them ‘veyond an appeal to the ultima ratio, ; and in order to uphold the very existence the nation, and to perpetuate the bless that Cnion under which we all alike, ourselves and the revolutioniste, have prospered in 80 uD ‘a degree.

Icannot fight, | but I can pray, and | have prayed most ferveatly for th® success of our cause, and for constitutional liberty; and now I will read to you the following brief document:— New York, April 20, 1661.
