Their next means of assault cousists in vearels of war—numerous and power- ful—aad in addition the English have constructed canals from the St. Lawrence into the great chain of American lakes, to enabie them to convey gunboats into these waters. We have no such connection with the ocean. ‘They can transport their gunboats ‘our commer. cial yesge's and in frent of our interior cities, along a lake’coast of more than two thousand miles, unopposed. We have nothing at this time—absolately nothing—with which to oppose them on these great inland seas. But, contra, we have to-day more armored vessels—genu- fs iron-clads—th England. That muoh good has come out of this evil rebellion. (Ap- Plause.) In a ‘ew weeks—not months—we shall ibe Able to teach the English, if they demand it cf us, a new version of the naval lessons of 1812.

We now have ou hand the tested ordnance competent to Speedily destroy any vessel yet armored by any nation. Our troa-clads are the most numercas at this time, and canuot be exceeded prior to Jauuary er February next. The English trovps are dispersed all over the world to guard isolated colonies. Her available troops cannot be massed to an amount of eighty thousand ; and one hua- dred and fifty thousand, if she had them, would not be troublesome to a powerful nation possessing from eight hundred thousand to a million of troops already called te ‘the fleld ; aud the French army. once shat up on ship- board, eveu if convoyed by the whole sy and Freach fleet, could not in an ordinarily tair fight escaps destruction. A single contlics betweeu an English or a French iron-clad and ome of our far more heavily armed iron-clads will settle that question. (‘That’s, so,”") The result will be so de- @iwive as to admit of no mistake, if there is any virtue iu ordnance throwing projectiles four times heavier than aay approved gua with which any English or French vee- sel is now armed. Let us oxamiue our means of defence. Of course, before going into batties, a soldier puts on bis armor; when a maa eaves home he locks the doors of bis house. So @ pation, going to war with a naval enemy, will, at an early day, earefully lock the mouths f aii those vaiuabie harbors, tulets, sounds and rivers whieh havo narrow entrances, and thus leseen the home duties of its Seet, as weil as furnish it @ place of refuge when disabled by storms or pressed by superior force. ‘The mode of ubstructing entrances to harbors, 80 as to etfectually secure them and yet aHow of the passage of a friendly sbip with bat littie hindrance, is pointed out with great c.earness by the-Board of neers in & re- port made to the Secretary of War in 1640.

Timi, I ask you to semd them the choering words of your hearty commendation. General Walbridge clesed his apooch by ollering the following resolutions, which were adopted by scola mation: — Resolved, That the territorial limits of the United States, as they existed when this infamous rebellion began, and the constitution which guarantees their ex- istence, should forever remain one, entire, umited and indivisible. 2. That the division of the former and the overthrow of e. latter would constitute @ damning crime to all eternity. 3. That as the blood of our slaughtered citizen soldiers fallen in defence of constitutional liberty cries to Heaven for redress, declare that to guppress this rebellion and sve the national life, the government should eall into exercise every agency employed by the rebels them- selves to make the war effective, couclusive, and of short duration. 4. That we tender to our unfortunate countrymen now languishing by captivity in Southern prisons our earnest and cordial sympathy, and we beseechingly implore the goveroment to elfect their honorabie excl and re- the earliest possible moment. ‘bat si: integrity by public servants in the di charge of official duty is the only guarantee for good gov- erument, wooall upou Congress to give the authority, and the government to exercise it, to hang upon a gibbot every officialin any de. partment of tho public service who attempts at this netuce of our public aMfairs to fatten upon the misfor- of the republic, either by de‘rauding the treasury, employing his public po-ition to advance private pecu- niacy cbjects, or who ghall be found guilty of imposing upon our brave soidiers any baso article, either in the food or raiment provided for them by the government. 6. ‘That Congress should provide for opening the great lime of interior water communication our Atlantis com, capable of passing our naval fl nd our gom- mercial mariae from waters of the Roanoke and Chesapeake Bay to the tern terminus of Long Island, and should at once open the means of interral commu- ion by which our gunboats can pass from the Mis- sissippi through the loyal States, by the various canals and lakes, till they reach the Al ard by the most cheap and expeditious route that scientific and practical knowledge shali develop. 7. That, steadily pursuing the wise policy of our fa- thers, we never mean to interfere in the internal con- flicts of foreign States; but here, beneath this outstretch- ed sky, ia the presence of Almighty God and of one an- other, we pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor never to abandon the struggle while there remains @ traitor in the land; that any armed intervention b any foreign Power in our it domestic affiiction prove the signal for the spirit of liberty to commence its triumphant march through Europe. ‘The following song was next sung, with a fine accompa. niment ot the brass band and the chorus of the crowd: SONG ON OUR COUNTRY AND HER FLAG, BY FRAN- C18 LIEBER, SUNG AT THE MEETING OF LOYAL CITIZENS, UNION SQUARE, NEW YORK, JULY 16, Tune—Gaudeamus igitur. ‘We do not hate our exemy— May God deal gent!y with us all.

I have now, since ur last glorious meeting in this place, witnessed the pro- gress of this wretched rebellion, and my only regret is thet @ sufficient force was not then at once raised to drive tho fomentors of it out of the country, aud forever to keep it down. You are once more again gathorod together in & great mass moeting to frustrate its fuluce progress, and I call upon you to do your duty to your country in ths the hour of ber peril. (Applause and cries of “We shall do s0."’) There were those who, at the last great mass meeting of New York, were pretended friends to the Union; but who, I regret to stute, as matt have since turned ont, were the vilest snakes of treason.

The stand erected at the corner of Sixteenth street, on the east side of the square, was handsomely deco- rated with flags, and for some time before the hour named a crowd gathered in the vicinity, which soon became dense as the band playod several national aire, and the officers of the meeting were seen to take their Places. Salutes of artillery were fired by the Anthon Light Battery and by the workmen employed by Henry Brewster & Co. The great heat, which, at first, threat- ened to be too much for the people, after four o’clock became relieved by s more cloudy sky, giving an agreo- able chade. On the platform, forming a centre of attraction, was Major Charles Le Gendre, of the Fifty-first regimeut, who fought so gallantly at Roanoke Island, where he was severely wounded. There were also Dr. Horace Green, J. Howard Williams, Hon. Prosper M. Wetmore, A. A. Low, A.C, Richards, John ). Wolfe, Peter Cooper, Hon.

Mr. Svoaw read the address adopied by the convention of committees, which was loudly applauded, especially those passages that related to resisting any foreign inter ference. Mr. Warmons—Now, fellow citizens, three cheers for that loyal address. This was responded to by three deafening cheers and a tiger. Cuateman—it is proposed before we go any farthor that we have the “Star Spangled Banner.” The chorus of this national song was ewolled by the crowd, until ils noble gtraing rang over the entire square. Throo cheers wore then given for ‘‘the banner.’ Mr. A.C. Rroganos road the resolutions, (he same as read at etand No.1.

Nothing can be done now except what is done by military means. The South has taken its position, and it will not recede unless it is compelied to. Whatever Union sentiment may hi existed there it is crushed out, and there is nothing apparent there now but sympathetic uni nimity and a determioation to persist im what they have undertaken. Waatever doubt, hesitation or difference of opinion may have pre- vailed at first, the sentiment is now universal that they have gone sofar that they cannot go back; that they must now go on whatever may bo the conse. quence or the sacrifice. Everything with them, then, reduced to a question ot endurance, the sooner wake up to the consciousness of this state of facts the more fuily will we comprehend our own position and the obligations and duties that are imposed upon (Chee: Leaving out of view the political differe: which may bave incited and lea to this war, what is it that the South have determined with such great unani- mity to do, and which the North with equal unani mity have determined to resist? Coostituting but little more than third of the population of the whole country, the inhabitauts of the Southern States have termined to seize the largest part of our territory ographically, to appropriate to themselves nearly the whole of our seacoast, and the mouth or neariy all of our principal rivers, aad construct out of it foreign pation. Of the eighty-four rivers which, descending through a common territory, find their way to the sea and serve as the great outlets of the industry aad commerce of the whole people. they modestly proprse to take to themselves the possession | and control of seventy-two, including the largest and most important, leaving to us but the number of twelve, watering that comparatively smail strip of territory ex- tending {rom the Hudson river to the northern boundary of Maine.

We will be beaten, humiliated and disgraced, All that we have hitherto done wili have gone for nothing, and we will retire from the contest with @ contracted territory and a gigantic load ot debt, which of itself will be # reason for one part of the country to shift it upon the other by acts of dismemberment and separation. To avert these calami- tics a call is made by the government upon the country for three hundred thousand men, if that call is promptly responded to, the suppression of the rebellion will be but a question of time. (Cheors.) It will soon be seen whether our people are or are not equal to the great emergency which now ealis upon them toact. If they fail in this crisis, them the South are, as have claimed to be, our master. They will triumph in the consciousness that they have chafed into submission these artisans, tradesmen and laborers of the North. We are masters upon the water, but on the land the heart of this rebellion has not yet been reached, and it will not be unless this levy is raised. If this call is re- sponded to, and three hundred thousand men rapidly pat in the field we shall be armed in a double sense : first— it will secure us inet bo intervention (loud cheers)—and, secondly, wo shall accomplish what we undertook to do when we first rose to the defence of our government and our flag. The season, being the time of harvest, is not a propitious one, and if, from that or any other cause, this force cannot be raised by volunteering in time to meot the precent pressing emergencies of the government, I can see no good reason why a draft should not at once be made, (Cheers ) Our enemies have resorted to it, and it is now the chiof source of their strength. The government of Furope which most nearly resermb!es our own—the republic of Switzerland—was placed a few years ago in a situation exactly like ours, The southern eantons undertook to break off and establish a confederate governmont by themselves. The northgru cantons, constituting as we do the majority of the population, raised an army and crushed the rebellion. The plan which they resorted to, and which proved eminently successful, was to draft the whole of the requisite force in the very bo- ginning. It brought into the army men of all ranks and conditions, making ita high toned, intelligent and pa- triotic body. While our system of volunteering is enor- mously expensive, the measure adopted by the republic of Switzerland was economical and brought together a devoted, disinterested aud patriotic body of men. It is at least fair and just in its operation, as it casts the duty of defending the governmen: oqualiy y classes—(cheers)—2nd if the necessity should exist [ do not seewhy we should hesitate to re- sort to it. The man who is not willing to defend a free and liberal government like this when the lot is cast upon him is unfit to live under it and enjoy its blessings. (Loud appt: ) Our national existence, then, depends upon our obtai the three hundred thousand men. To that every othe jon is subordinate, Like rod, it swallows up every other, and the who'e ene of the people and of the government inust be de- voted to it. But the men now caliea to come forth to the rescue of the nation, have aright to demand that they vari poled by generals, and pot by politicians in uni- "and we, moe ot all partios assembled here to-day in this mighty gathering of ju> wie!) ism of the masscs of this great metrop iy to say to our temporary rulers at Washington to imitaié ! the example which ia here set them of uniting public spiritand patriotism.

Let thom remember that more than two-thirds of tl men composing the army of the Union are opposed to them politically, and above all let the civilians in Wash- ington give up directing and oontrolling the operations of generals in the field.

GuxtLeuEs—Your note inviting me to attend a meeting of loyal citizens of New York, to be held to-morrow evening, has been received. ‘The objects of the meeting are of vital importance— thoy involve nothing less than achoice betwoen au early peace, with the deliverance of the nation from all Surrounding dangers, or a tracted war, with hazards of ultimate national dissolution, Public dutics forbid my leaving the capital at this moment, but I have given to the only maio member of my family, uot already. in tne public service, permission to enrol himaclf as a private in tl wuksof the volunicers, which it is your purpose to send into the field. I have tho honor to be, gontlomen, your vory obedient servant, WILLIAM H. SEWARD. ‘The Cua1raman—Follow citizens, we have bere the Rev Dr. Vinton. He did not expect to address you, but if there is a man from whom we havo a right to expect @ word it ishim. He belongs toa family who have not only given their yoico but their blood to the country. It is, doubtless, well known to you that his brother died before Vera Cruz, (Cheers and cries of Let us hear him.”) His nophow is now serving iu the army of the peninaula. So I will ask the reverend doctor to say a fow words to you. (Cheers.) SPEECH OF REY. DR. FRANCIS VINTON. Dr. Vinton thon came forward aud spoke aa follows:— Fr.ow Crzeye—I could not, after jistening to such a cailag that I have just heard, remain silent and decling to lift my voice to speak to you. This -war isa case of honor or dishonor, liberty, slavery or death to you and your children. (Choers.) I have sorved our country in her army for ten years, and speak to you as a military man. We have not lost an action in this whole war— even Bull run, and that would not have ended so disas trously only for the arrival of powerful and unexpected reinforcements to the enemy alter the battie had bean won by our noble troops.

He isnearer Richmond uow thin ever hi was bofore, (Cheers.) With tho strong arm of the country supporting him—the navy—I say he is aoarer to Richmond than ever.

But the Bible bays that rebollion is as wilchcra‘teand so it has changed these men’s minds. Before the robollion broke out they were our friends, Now they havo become our foes, and would becom murderers. They sponk of us as vassals, and they are trying now to overpower our army on the ‘banks of the James river. Shall they do this, or shall every traitor be made to feol that he must submit to the authority of the government? Let the example of Mr. Seward's son bea guido to us. He entered tho service of tho country asa private soldier in ono of tho military orca nizations of New York. (Prolonged and enth@pist's applause.) . MR.

It had given a _ diviner temper to our courage had made the and poople resolve that the rebellion shall be crushed, and that the stars in their courses shall not be made to fight against us, but for us. The South has a population of out of which they claim to have raised an army of seven bundred thousand fighting men. ‘The North, with a population of twenty millions, could raise @ mush larger army. But in addition to this, there were in the South a population of four mitlions of persons with black skins, alarge proportion of whom consisted of mon with stalworth frames and brawny arms, who wore ready ht for us, and it was the duty of the nation tonse every 18 that God and nature bad put tnto its bands to put the rebellion at once and forever. This was pot the ol of abolitionists, but the sentiments of the army. A gentleman from Washington had told him (the speak- or) that the geueral feeling of the army—of the men who had distinguished themselves in the fie, and had wrought in the trenches—was that they should have tho co-operation of this class of people. Yue demand of the army was that the whole loyal population of the cov try—black , white or gray—(laughtor)—shouid be wu in the war, till the rebeliion is pat down, and when this cry came up from the field and the trenches, he had ne doubt tt would bo obayed by the President and Cabinet, by both houses of Congress and the people at large, and. | last of all, by the politicians (God lees their guts) who wouid say amon, (Cheers and laughter.)

They moved carelessly hither and thither, like so mavy idis boys, though among them could be seen many whose earnest faces and busy tongues seemed imbued with the Single notion of the'importance of the occasion. ‘Those lined the sidewaiks, and manifested their friendly feelings by cheers beth loud and deep.
