He was rather heated when ho rose, «md ‘took the opportunity of turning the same to advantage in his remarks, which were to the following effect:— Fritow Cirtzens—This sun is hot, bat remember that it ig not £0 bot as that sun which flames upon our brethren trom a Virginia sky. Nor isthat sun, that Vir- ginia sun, half so hot as tho fire of the artillery and anuaketry which blazes around those heroes who are now fighting for our cause, with this motto for their guide, “+A glorious victory or death.’’ Nor is that fire of battle go hot asthe fire of the hatdof those who are now in rebellion: against the government of our country, who are shedding the life blood of our brethren, against whom they are drawn up ia battle array. My fellow Citizens of the great city of Now York, ihis mectivg re- minds me of the immense gathering which took place in this great commercial metropolis, the first great gather- ing of April, 1861. ihe mouth is entful one in our American history. Jt bad it lights and its shadows, it is full of mingled opposites—~at one time light and at another dark. It was in this month of April that we had our Concord and our Lexington. It was also in this mouth of April that we had the attack ‘upon and fall of Sumter. It was in this month of Aprit that our brave soldiers were beset and brutally murdered in Baltimore. This meeting takes place in July, and July is algo notable in our history as the month in which the Declaration of Independence was signed. April is a spring month, July isa harvest month. Fifteen month’ ago—in April, during the spring—-we planted the sced of Joyalty to the American Union, and it shall bring forth & glorious harvost throughout this promising land. Let with heart and voice, word and deed, reassure our brethren in the fleld aud give the word of cheer to our armies. Icall this meeting one of reaffirmation. We are to-day to reaflirm what we resolved upon fifteen months ago. What we planted in a stormy spring is to be taken care of during this generous summer. What ‘we did then was tho result of instinct; new it has become a deep rooted convictién. It was passion which then guided us; now it is principle. It may be that on the occasion of our former mecting our huzzas were jonder; but now I can seo it in your racés, our resalns ‘Jong are decpor, and when we now strike we shall strike | whe great cry goes up now everywhere for aid t J.

This continent must and shall remain unified, one and inseparable, and must be so un- til the end of time. (Applause.) This is a struggle be- tween a rebellious confederacy and our government; and what for? Not for the vague abstraction it purports to be, but for a remote but still more important issue—the domiuation of this continent. They or wo will have to rule this vast land from the St. Croix to the Rio Grande, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. And Isay unto you, ‘men of the city.of New York, shall it be we, the men oi the Christian North, or shall it be the sons of the sunuy South, as they delight to call themselves, who are, and have proved themselves, robbers by Iand, and if they had a fleet upon the sea would also be pirates. (Applause.) ‘This is the issue, and it must be determined sooner or later. Citizens of New York, are you men enough to say zou will take the igsue on yonr own shoulders, or leave it your posterity? Can you look Wey your ‘babes now resting in their cradles and bequeath to them the settle- mont of this great question? Wilt ee ve it mext generation to settle this quesiion? (Loud cries of «No, no.?) It must be determined uow or never. Tt can ‘bo more easily settled now than by any conjusciion iu the future. We contend for the supremacy of our government, and we will do so if we have to fe a Thermopyix of it, and def the gate till all have fallen; or else we aball haye to sndmit toanilitary despotism which would march over the bl corpses of our comrades to rule us with a rod of iron, Istand hero to defend the glorious republican y idea which has gained to us the lanrela that crown the brow of our glorious goddess Liberty.

(‘Bravo” and .) The American people have learned something during past fitteen months, 1 have been im the country among the farmhouses, where families are more scattered, and where oue taken from ‘he originally com- pact family circle is missed, not only by those who form ‘that circle, but by their neighbors. The war in those cases bas been brought home ie tue hearts of many. Ihave seen women stand at the doors of their houses eagerly and anxiously waiting for the return of their ‘wounded husbands, brothers or sous, or still more anx- tously trying to learn some tidizgs of onegwho fell at Pair Oaks, Gaines’ Mills, at White Oak SwRinp, or else where. Men die in the great city, aud they are scarcely miesed, except in their more immediate circle; bui in the the case is far different. These are matters of deep thenght, and tho people are thinking deeper than wer. Tbheyare thinking very ‘ast. The new cali is alsoa matter of thought, aud althongh I cannot doubt ‘that the quota of New York will be filled, and quickly, too, 1 cannot shut my eyes to the fact that it is not re- sponded to with that marked alacrity as that which characterized the former call. There must be a reason for this, and the government should know it. It is not she fear of the advavrary they have to encounter: bit it is the fear that the administration will Wot themselves carry the war throngh ina proper manner. The men of America have pluck, and do not fear te die for their country. They will eulist, but there is @ condition which they cemand. That condition is (with great eneray) fight, fight, fight. Wo have play loog eonongh, and now we must have fight. Fight, and with the right band and not with the left. and only the little finger of that hand at the best. We must have fight with the right hand, (A voice, “With both hands.’ Wi Ul 1 get through. ching both tists and stretching them out with convulsive energy), Fight, tight, with both hands. And that is not ali. say lot all the colors fight. Ail. From the one extreme of the Caueaaian whito to the other extreme ox the Cuu- ‘casian black—let them all fight, aud let all the peopio that make up the differeut and beautiful shades between those extremes fight. Let all the people fight. Elijah saw in the heavens the clurlots of fire of the Lord of Mosts. Then let the rebels hi their five hundred thougan men; we haye the chariots aud horses of fire Labout ws. We have the spirits of t Id who have gone to their rest. We have also the spirits of those sages and heroes who have etood np for ns in foreign lands, or who have pined in foreign dungeons for contending for our rights, And all goed angels are looking down upon us. And these will giide us on to victory. I say unto you, men of New York, wo must win, and, in the end, despite all eveming adversities, the right must triumph. TELEGRAM FROM WM. M. EVARTS. Mr. ©.

AT WEST SIDE OF UNION SQUARE, CORNER SIXTEENTH SIRBET AND BROADWAY. oF The Outpouring of the Popular Heart— Speeches of Dr. Francis Lieber, L. E.

While the embattled hosts of an unscrupulous enemy are battling to overthrow the best and purest government the world ever saw, it is unwise and fallacious to debate a question of expediency. Our enemies must be met by the din and clash of arms. the roar of musketry, the gleam of hayouets and the thun- dering war suout, for these possess greater efficacy in crushing out the foes of constitutional liberty than the most polished utterances of cabinet councils.

In front and om either side was tho extensive space to be filled by the'assembling multitude. The.salutes of artillery by a detachment of the Anthon Light Battery, and by the workmen employed by Henry Brewster & Company, were fitly accompanied with ap- | propriate airs discoursed by Wallace’s and Graffulla’s bands, which were stationed on the stands. Mapy of the business establishments having closed at three, the employers and employes were now assembling fast and filling up the space which forms the square. Several open carriages passed and wera driven into convenient positions where the ladie, and gentlemen within could witness the proceedings. It was four o’clock precisely when the committees and speakers left the Everett House and proceeded to take the places which had been assigned them. While the officers and speakers were seen approaching this stand, the moving mass of people quickly concentrativg around the different stands, the sound of the salvos of artillery and the stirring music of the bands, joined to processions arriving on the ground, with flags and banners, presented altogether an interesting and tmposing spectacle. Then the officers and speakers, wearing rosettes and badges, ascended the stand, the artillery blazed away in tno most warlike manner, the band on platform No. 4 } layed a grand march, the flags everywhere were waving in the rising breeze, and the crowd pressed forward to participate in the proceedings of the meeting now about to be begun, Mr. James W. White, one of the gentlemen from the Committee of Arrangements, came forward and called tho meeting to order. The great crowd in front imme- diately reposed into becoming quictude while he read the published call for the meoting. At the conclusion of the reading he nominated for Chairman, DR.

But there is another ‘thing that may temporarily interfere or at least some- what retard the desired enlistment. The eail for re- cruits is comparatively a amali one. The Prerident, you know, calls for three hundred thousand.men. ‘This is, in fact, a large number of men, but, comparatively speak ing, considering the population of the North, it is swall number. Only about fifty thousand are required from this State, Now who doubts if there had been » Recessity for the President to call for the services of ever yono whe can shoulder a musket, that the people would rush en masse in respovge to the call? But when ® limited number is required and called for, many of the fifty thousand who are wanted might be disposed to say, ‘0, 1 need not volunieer; my serv’ will not be required, for iny neighbor will go.” F that reason I am inclined to believe that we ought to re- sort to the drafting taw. I know that does not sound well to the oars of the Americans, because drafting has been made uso of by despotic governinents, and has been resorted to in the South, by what I have ‘not the least doubt is @ despotic government.

At any rate, a8 menare wanted speedily, the adoption of this system would give us the men imniediately, while the small number called for, and the approaching harvest, may have a tendency to prevent the rush of young men which would other- wise take place. Mr. Lieber then sat down amid applause. Mr. Robert H. MeCurdy, one of the Committee of Ar. Tangoments, then read a list of Vice Presidents and Sec- retaries of the meeting, which were unanimously ap- proved. The ‘Address to the Loyal Citivens ef New York,” inte in another column, was then read in aloud and jstinet voice by Mr.N.J. A. Fuller, The address was listened to with marked attention. The passages pro- testing aguinst foreign intervention, and declaring our intention to fight foreign foes—should they interfere with us—as well as domestic enemies, were responded to by all the people with as great, as unbounded enthnsi- asm, a8 that with whioh they unanimously pledged themeelves to Congress and the President that with all their resources they would support the government in the prosecution of the war with the utmost vigor, till the rebellion was put down and its leaders brought to merited punishment. After the reading of the address the band struck up “Vive la America,” which touched a sympathetic chord in the hearts of the people present. Mr. Monius Ketonum then read the resolutions. While they were being read processions arrived, with vehicles decorated with banners and inscriptions.

The reso. lutions were adopted unanimousiy. MR. CHITTENDEN’S SPBECH. Mr. L. E. Cursrenpen, of Washington, was the next speaker introduced to the assembly. He said:— Fentow Crnzzns—I have taken myself out of the dull routine of the Treasury Department in Washington, and have come over here, I hope, to find a live people. (A Voice—“You ‘will.”) Yes, I hops I will find a. people ative to ‘the necessities of the present moment.

They followed it up by imprisoning every man in the South who was in sympathy with this Union and with the goverument which this nation inherited from Washington and tho fathers of the Revolution.

Mr Wirsam Auuey BoTier was next introduced by the Chairman. A‘ thie moment 2 number of persons among the immense crowd who were assembled in front of the platform began to give the latest readition of the John Brown #ong, in the following language:— We'll Horace Greole Saas ese daetes oa tone spala tet We'll hang Horace Greeley on a sour apple tree, As we go marching along, &e., &c. After honoring Wendell Phillips in tho same manner, the enthusiastic musicians commenced to hold a spirited debate among themselves upon the great questions of the day, when one of the guardians of the peace, with club in hand, crushed his way in among the crowd in order to mterfere with the fre exercise of the people’s yolce. Am indignant and onthusiastic izen insisted, however, upon having the last ‘say,’ clariny ‘We are the people,” and he could not orf «ith their prer ve of free utterance. At le , quiet being restored, Mr, Butler proceeded to say that it was but right every tnan should have his turn. It was bis turn then. It was #0 on Lhe programme, and if the people gaye their attention he would promise them that would not abuse it. That was a busin meetin, We were not there on a gala day, We werethere to act. We were called from the capital of the nation to act. It was not the time that this call had taken piace. Some sixteon months before present time a.ca!l had come to the Empire State to help and save the national capital, which wos in danger from rebels and traitors. How did we respond to that call? He would point to tho gallant Seventh regiment which buekled on its armor at the time, apd was soon in the geld to shield the capital from danger. He would point 40 Wail street, he would point to the City Hall, and Wo the whole Stato, which sent rogiment after regitnent on the samo errand.

The rain was n0@ falling in torrents, and tbe meeting adjourned YOUNG MEN’S STAND, NO. FIVE, Speeches by General Jo! C. Fremont, Rev. Rufus W. Clark, United States District Attorney E. Delafield Smith, Joe, Hoxie, Colonel James Fairman, Charles Gould, and Colonel Mix, of Burnside’s Expedition. ‘Tuis stand had a fair share, if not more, of the crowd asseiubled to take counsel in the present tremendous crisis of the country. Whether their partiality was due to the popularity of the President of the staud, Major General Jonn ©. Fremont, or that tt stood under the Spingler Institute, on the shady side of Union square, we Sre unable to determine; but certain it is that the erowé around and in frout could not have numbered less thao five thousand, and at times may have been. much greater. A more patient, smiling, good humored crowd it would be impossibie to tind. The greater portion of those im front seemet to be enthusiastic admirers of General Fremont, for his naeiwas repeatedly called and cheered, even while others wore addressing the meeting, but in the extremities of the crowd were many who, Judgo from their remarks, which were not selections from “ Elegant Extracts,” did not entirely agree.with their brethren in front.

(Cheers.) ‘The speaker here said he would conclude as he began. The policy of the war was summed up im that simple word fight. (Cheers. ) SPEECH OF MR. W. J. A. FULLER. Mr. W. 3. A. Fuller was the next speaker. He said:— Ferrow Crrzens—Fifteen month# ago at this very place, at the great meeting which inaugurated tbe glorious uprising of the North, he endeavored to urge upon the government the adoption of a policy which should crush this revolt by united and vigorous action. He then predicted that thirty days longer of imbecttity and inaction on the part of the government would make what was a gigantic rebellion a dignitied revolution. He endeavored to coerce the government into a policy that would have crushed the rebellion at once and for- ever. He wanted concerted action, and sharp, positive, devisive blows struck at the vitals of the rebellion as the only means of yest ig peace to the country. He then spoke in the language of prophecy. Agaiu he appeared betore them, after the wasted energies ant resonrves of the nation to send up once more a warning cry to the go- verument to use cautery, not poultices—to sirike at the root of the evil and eradicate it forever, as the only means of success. Like the Roman sybil who offered her nine books, he then urged the government to pay the price and extirpate the cause of the reboliion. ‘the go- Yernment has neglected and refused the offer. Three of the sybilline books are burned, and che now offers the remaining six, but exacts the same price—a removal of the causeot the She stands before us now with disheveled locks and wi igage, and again utters her prophetic warning, aud calls upou us, with chastened spirit and saddened feeling, to pay the price and stop the war. Let us heed her warning before it be too late, At this point the crowd before referred to slightly in- terrupted the speaker, who sald he rather liked the evi- dence of independence in tne working man,as he wasa working man himself, and if there were amy sailors he could tell them that he pulled a line himself before now. Mr. Mnugr continued by saying that he would not dis- cuss. a subject which admitted of discussion, he would return to one which admits of no discussion, but would urge them to call upon the government, trumpet tougued to give us a defuitive policy, and to take prompt and vigorous measures to save the national life, which is now more greatly imperiled than mavy of us are willing to admit. Plain truths are the best in this feariul c of the nati The want of brains at Washington, 1! sence of a clear and comprebensive policy, of sharp and decisive action, ba protracted the war and increased the national debt ten-fold. The people have dene their duty nobly in this war.

We want hearts of fire and neryes of iron. Shove all the paper mem to the wail Away with political + and aye men of brains and energy to conduct the war to a spocdy and successiul eud. Let the government but imitate tho resolution of the people, and the summer solstice will tind the rebailion driven into the gulf. If soldiers won't yolnuteer we must draft. But there will be no necessity for drafting i the governmens will oniy show, by its prompt and vigorous action, that ii is thoronglily aroused to the importauce of @ seitled policy that will be sure to stop the war at once, We a committing national suicide by our timorous and chang.

Not a duy is to be lost. Lat us not quarrel about this, that or the other inan in the Cabinet. Let us not dispute about the merits or demerits of generals. We cannot now afford it. Let us all put our shoulders to the wheel. Give the govern. ment all the men aud ali the money it needs; but in the name of God aud hnmanity let us demand of ihe govern- ment, in language that cammot be misunderstood, that we be not trifled with any longer, but that we have a policy that Will be unxorm aud consistent—that we handio this subject without gloves; and that we have prompt and decisive measures, that wil strike the rebellion with torror and save the national life Mr. Fuller continued to urge upon the people that we should support the government with onauimity and vigor; that we should Burry on the d instantaneously, MOLL AD AAU Va- it, iu tomguage eus & firm and ‘ut that we should exact of the gove leat for our sacrifices by calling upor that could aot be misunderstood, to settled policy, and an earnest «nd vigorous prosecuti of the war, He expressed great (aith in the drmne and honesty of the President; thought that he unde stood and appreciated the cause of the war and its cur bit that thongh he was slow, he was sure; that be had punted out the handwriting on the yall, which blazed forth to the nation in the characters of living light; and that he saw the beginnings of ihe emt of war, and should tread out its last ember, if we but oxercived pationge, aud did our whole duty ‘in the matter.

Fremont is sup- posed to bo popular with the Germans, it is strange there were #o few of them present. Taken altogether, the bone and sinew of New York city were wall repre sented. The groatest order and decorum prevailed, ex cept whon a apaaker grew tiresome or a handful of Wal- Juce’s ode or “The Star Sjangied Banner”? was thrown among them, when a scramble took piace, or calls for Fremont would disturb the otherwise quiet serenity of the motley audience. A few colored gentlemen present were vastly tickled whenever the moral and pbysical virtues—wo had almost said superiority—of the negro were dilated upon, as they were by every spoaker. At @ few minutes past four o’clock the Young Men's Association, wearing Union |adges, and escorted by s platoon of police, conducted General Fremont to the stand, which sine, Sr crowded to the utmost limit of standing room. The Genera! was introduced to tnos¢ essombled by Hov, B.
