W. FORNEY, at Tarroolon, ire;tihester CoUnig, - ON-TAl3ll.2pei, SEPTIChiIIn 24. Fellom•Citizans: I feel gratified in being ow to appear-before you, to participate in the cieremohy whit% bee been: annenneed—the nomi nation, as the peeple's candidate, of one, of the tribunes Who stood up during the - late &smiting session of Congress for an undying principle. And I am gratified, further, in being aisle to bear, here in your presence, my personal tribute to the cour age, the independence, and the consistency of the gentleman whom you have thus formally placed be fore the people for re-election. Having taken some part in the oontroversy which is not yet closed, and having been,present when various demands were made at the seat of the Federal Government, I saw Mr. Haskin tried, not only by the frowns and the threat's of power, bat by those blandish ments which have always been no dangerous to the progress of truth. And there never was a moment, from the beginning to the end of that struggle, in which he quailed or faltered. [Cheers.] It required on hie part, gentlemen, uncommon courage, sustaining a peculiar personal relation, as he did, to the Exoentive, to resist these combined influences. It required great ledepen donee ant great self-denial to tear himeeif loose from those with whom he had been thus closely associated; and, more than all, it required that he should keep constant watch over himself, lest in that great poliroal centre, where public virtue is constantly sapped, where the public man is con stantly in danger of being betrayed, be should fall into the hands of his enemies. It required on hie part that he should so hoar himself as to bo able to resist, not only the intluettoo of power. but to stand without suspicion. He came from a district which tad not only given him a large plurality, but which had given to Mr Buchanan a decisive vote ; and to no man more,l venture to say, is Mr. Buchanan in debted than to Mr. Rivkin for the manner in which the Democratic party in this vicinity rolled no the vote they gave to the Democratic candidate in 1856. His active exertions, hie personal devotion to the ehtwaster of the President; we fact that can didate reolprOoated [or pretended to reelprocate] all the devotion which Mr. Hoskin himself mem• fested, rendered him of all men the man upon whom the President might rely for support in con duotlng,the affairs of the Government at the seat of the Federal capital. He did not go to Wash ington to betray a principle, nor yet to desert the candidate of his choice. He saw this Administra tion; whisk he had thus toiled to elect, with four years of power and with, unbounded patronage, and ho was its friend, for every reason of princi ple and of expediency. The Cabinet was filled with men toward whom he sustained the most intimate relations. What reason, then, had ho to do any thing but the right ? What inducement was there on the part of Mr. Haekin to take any other than an honest course ? I say, then, my follow citizens, that you do well in plaoing him before his constituents for another trial. [Cheers and applause ] Yee, you not only do • well, but you would not do well if' you did not thus nominate and re-eleot him. And I say now, when the time comes that public men in the North are not sustained who have done what Mr. Hoskin has done—when the time comes that the people of this Congressional district, or any Congressional dis trict, refuse:to do honor to such a man, then we must become in this region a rase of cowards and slaves. [Cheers and applause.] My fellow.eitizens, I must now be a little per sonal, because, appearing before you as I do, I am impelled. if not compelled, to refer to a por tion of political history in which I have borne a somewhat prominent part. My relations to the present Preoutive of the United States begun with early boyhood, from the time long before I became a voter, when I wait his intimate confidant and friend. From early youth down to tho pre sent hou,r, or rather to a period one year ego, I have sustained toward Mr. Buchanan relations not only of intimacy., but of more than intl. maoy. Had he been my father, if his blond ran in my veins, I could not have been more de votedly attached to him. '(Applause.] I believed that that sentiment and affection was recipro cated. We had • tried in our good old State of Pennsylvania, for many yeare, tg elect this gen tleman to the Presidency. It fell to my lot,born in the county in which he grew to manhood; in the county where ho read law; in the county where he still has his residence; in that empty where be says he expects to die—it fell to my lot to do' a good ' deal of the herd • work in cident to the fulfilment of the aspirations of himself and the wishes of his friends. In 1844 we went' to the ojty of Baltimore instructed to vote for a distinguished citisen of your State, Mr. Van Buren but owing to the ptibtkettien of his celebra ted Texas letter; the delega tion from Pennsylvania, as is - well known, concluded . that Mr. Van • Buren bed . forfeited the confidence of the Demooratio party, and that it b'acamo us to present our own favored citizen for that high pitted. We did ISO, and we failed. But still, in 1848. we reappeared upon the scene with our follOw-altisen, fled there the friendsof Mr. Van i 1 ran in this State repaid us in kind for the gond turn we had served them four years before. [Applatise I llndannted, we continued to organise, and in 1852 we reappeared in the same scene with our former favorite, and were. again defeated. That seemed to bo the last chance—the last shot in the looker, if I may use ,the expression. But he was ap pointed by President Pierce in 1853 to fill the high and important mission of Minister to England. While there be Weil relnoVed from the scenes of domestic polities, and quietly end obser vantly watched the movements at home pending and succeeding the repeal of the Missouid line. Mr. Buchanan had been known for his attachment to that line. Though in 1819,- at Lancaster, Pa., he attended a meeting in which he denounced it ; subsequently. in 14147, he came out in his celebra ted Berke county letter, and slated there that the only way to settle the slavery (twister' wet to run the line to the Pacifist so as to secure to the North and to the South respective and equal benefits on each side of it as proposed by its original friends. Therefore it was that, while at a foreign court, absent from his own country, hie name became pe• oullarly the name of the American people, as the one that would lead the Demooratio party to vic tory again. His old frump inDeunsylvania moved forward, and again organTaid. We saw the time bad come at lest when our candidate could be presented to the people. We repaired to Cincinnati. Rivalries—home rivalries—had been extinguished ; bitterness growing out of the abrogation of the Missouri line and the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill had tem porarily removed ether candidates from the Geld (or so we thought]; and Oise men, Dallas men, and Buchanan men in Peemsylvoliia made common cause, and repaired to Cincinnati for the purpose of putting Mr. Buchanan In nomina tion. When we reached there, the first indication that appeared was, that the extreme South lied re solved upon Mr. Buolianan's annihilation. They saw him in the light of a moderate conservative sentiment. They saw in him, for the first time, a public inan,who, having been absent from the coun try, and therefore disoonnectod from the exalting rivalries of the day, would be compelled from his position to do justice to Northern feelings, and ex tinguish sectionalism. They did not trust to him on the issue of the day. Ho was not a good enough Kansas and Nebraska man for them ; and they fought us, as the history of that Convontien will show, for five long days, with a bit• terness and animosity such as political con ventions can scarcely rival. But he was the only man to rescue the Demooratio party from defeat. He was the only men to prevent the election of a Republican, and the only man who could carry Pennsylvania; for upon the contest of that State the entire tide of battle was to turn. From your own State a similar disposition was manifested in cer tain quarters. In this section, where this disease of Lecomptonism DOW rages the most violently, and where the affection for the Administretion is indulged the moat ardently, Mr. Buchanan Ye calved nothing but coldness and contempt. But we nominated him and returned to Pennsyl vania, •for the Drat time, joyous in having achieved our long-cherished wish. And when wo returned there ' we came with the full and confident hope that there would be no difficulty in electing a man whose nature was believed to bo so conservative, whose character was be lieved to be so prudent, and whose entire record has been National and Constitutional. At that time, I believe, the Republicans them selves abandoned the campaign. They looked upon his nomination as their death-blow. They looked around in vain for a candidate; but events (and there is no necessity for spinning out this detail to a greater length) brought on a series of excitements such as we have never witnessed in our country, and by the middle of August. 1850, the oampaign was more than doubtful. Why did it become doubtful? Because the public opinion of the North had been atiered to its deepest depths by the excesses of the Pro-Olavery minority, backed by Federal power, in the Territory of Kama. That was the only question. It was not the Ostend Conference, it was net the Pacific Rail road ; it wee nothing but the single issue—Shan the people of Kaneda be permitted to dispose of their own affairs in their own way? Shall they vote upon their domestic institutions, not slavery alone, but upon all their Institutions, unmolested by the bayonets of the Administration on the one hand, and the onslaughts of bands of foreign ma rauders on the other. This was the question, the whole question, the only question. No man felt more deeply in reference to Kansas than Mr. Buchanan. Ko man talked more freely about it. In his letter of aoceptancie of the nomination and in the speech he delivered to the eommittee upon It its his parlor at Lancaster, (at which I happened to be present,) ho laid stress upon the great principle that -the will of the majority shouldprevail. Why, be said to me a thousand times, u The South onset vote for me, and the North must be secured ; and the only way to se cure the North is to convince our voters that when I get into the Presidential chair I will do right with the people in Kansas. 'I am DOW slily-AV years of age. I have reached that time of life when I cannot have any am bition for a reelection, and if I have, the only way to seoore it is to be strong with my own people at home I watched this struggle from my retirement in London • I have seen what I conceive to be the mistakes of others. I am not responsible for the Administration of Presi dent Pierce; therefore, I will inaugurate a new system ; I will show to the country that a Penn sylvania President will stand firm to the pledgee of a Pennsylvania gentleman and a Pennsyl vania Demoorat." Now, fellow-citizens, in that letter of acceptance, if you will refer to it--it is not .necessary for ate to produce it hero— yen will find that he stated distinctly that the peo ple of the Territory of Kansas should be protected in the dieted right of suffrage, unawed by any In &tondo 'whatever, and that the will of the ma jority should prevail., We went into the canvass, It fell to my lot to be at the head of the State Democratic' Committee of Pennsylvania. Allay affections wore and aro in ! that State ; all the motioned' my nature, physical and mental, were enlisted on the side of the can didate she had presented. His whole career, his aharaoter,My personal attaohinent, and the sincere ; devotion I felt for him, his family, his cause, and all about him, made me so elisions for him to tine- coed, that I indulge in no vain expression of I speech when I say to you that I would have for feited my life for him My devotion for him knew' no bounds. Day and night, night and day, I toiled in that campaign. And there are those here. to-day from my own State who' will bear witness to the fact, when I say that all my own resources, all my fortune, my every exertion, every- aid that could be enlisted Was evoked to produce the final result. Above all other questions in that campaign was the great prinoiple of 'popular sovereignty. [Apple-me.] That was the standard which mar shalled the way. That was the shibboleth—that was the war cry. 'From Lake Erie to the Dela- Ware—from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia—in every village and town In the State—everywhere that I could Induce a pen to write, or a tongue to speak, that was the theme upon which those pens wrote, and those tongues spoke. Why, gentle men, Mr. Buchanan had no confidence upon this subject, He public, he . was open, he was unreserved in his declarations to everybody, Ko sent to the traduced John adjoining , county. ' He told - Hickman, in an , him, through his friends an agents: '"You, Mr.. Hickman ' oegapy'iipeoullar relation; you voted, for the Topeka'. Constitution; you denounced the Kansas-Nebraska'bill t' . you, too, were opposed to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise line ; the Demooratio party of your district have' nominated you; the , Republican's like you; they believe in you. ' Now,'l want you to take .the stumpyour people, and pledge me; James and g s Bnohannn, li R o ll b le e n fe that I intend standing by and, if necessary, dying by, this principle of popular sovereignty." For myself, if I could descend to the baseness of republishing private letters, I might fill a volume with similar.. pledges from high authority. Why, gentlemen, when the die tingaishhd &watery ;of the , Treasury, Mr. Cobb,' who, from having been a superfine Unionman, has, been . converted into a fire•eater, equal to M. Chanbert himself; when Mr. Cobb came into Pennsylvania, and traversed our State from end to end, .atd from county" to county, talking to delighted audiences all. the time; what was the burden of his theme? Why, popular' sovereignty. Ho said, in substance : " I would take the army arid the navy, I would use every power of tile. Federal Government, I would surround the' Territory but what the people •of Kansas should vote, and by their vote the des tinies of the .fiature State should be decided." Whenever a Sinithern orator came into Penn sylvania and called upon me, I said to him " Now, sir, I have but one thing to say to you: we have but a single thing before the people ; every day Is making the campaign more' and more doubtful ;' every day is making the popular feeling more and more intense ; Mr. Buchanan himself feels that everything depends upon the prudence, the sagacity, and the spirit of camellia. tion by which this campaign is conducted ; and for God's sake take care what you Say about Kansas; leave yotir violent Southern feelings at home ;' you must not come to threaten ;- you Go-. venter Johnston, and you Mr. Scott, of Richmond, and you Mr. Extra. Billy Smith, and you Mr. Secre tary Floyd, all of you, must remember that if you lose this battle here, you lose it altogether; it will be your loss,and therefore you must alter( us to man age it in our own way." And they did accede to that policy, withotit'any protestation, and gladly. There' was no deception in that fight, at least so far as I was concerned. I sowed the State with private letters'and private pledges upon this ques tion. There is not a county in Pennsylvania in which my letters may not be found, pledging Mr. Bush:man, in his name, and by his authority. to the full, complete, and pre:afloat recognition of the rights of • the people of Kansas to deolde upon their own affairs. [Applause 1,..; Gentlemen, he was elected. lie 'formed his Cabinet. He issued his Inaugural Address; and here, at this point, let mei say, that the public confidence created by his nomination in the De mooraile party, and the apprehension of his elec tion inspired in the Republican ranks, that public confidence was renewed and revived by the publication of his Inaugural Address. The Republicans, many of them who 'had' voted for John C. Fremont, said: "We believe in Mr Boobs nan, and if he stands by the doottinee of this Inau gural Address we will stand by him." Now, had he done to, the Republican and the American par ties, in my opinion, would have been extinguished; wo would have been one great, happy, national family. After all, what the great mass of the people in this country desire is a good Government. Beery man in this country is not an offloe'seeker. Nine out of ten are dis interested in their relations to this Government, and they are ready to vote for John B. Heskin ' or for John fimith. if they have gonfidence in the man : and Mr. Buchanan would have suited the country as well as any other noon, if ko had but fulfilled his pledges; and therefore It wa,s that when his inaugural address was published, they said one to the other: "We believe in Mr. Buchanan—we are sorry that we have not voted for him ; but we are willing to trust him and stand by him to the tid.i' Mr Iduchanan had before him a future yrbioh 'Washington, if he had been living, might have envied—a future - whiob, if he had walked resolutely in the path be had marked out—tbe path illuminated by his declarations and pledgee— would have allowed him to go down to the grave followed by the blessings of a, grateful people. Posterity would have pointed to his Administration as a model and example to all generations; Pennsylvania would have had no cause to be ashamed of her favorite son. No, my fellow ocuintrymen. But he did net atop here. As if for the purpose of accumulating pledge upon pledge— as if for the purpose of piling up a pyramid of pro misee upon this question, what did he do next? He looked around to see whom he should got to go to Kansas. for the purpose of settling - the vexed ques tion which had rendered Kansas, what it had been graphically termed, " the grave-yard of Cover nom i' Izde, sought no inferior man; he would not be tempted to take an ordinary man. He selected a gentleman, a statesman, whobad been presented by a large portion of the leading and prominent men of the South for it. meet in his. Cabinet ; who had for twelve years iepresented his State in the Congressional Bonnte, and bad sat with Mr. Bu chanan in the Cabinet of Col Polk. He selected Robert J. Walker. And when he called upon Mr. Walker, rind asked him to proceed to the Territory, Mr. Walker said to him, " Why, Mr. Iluebrinap, that would finish me forever; it heti turned" every •ition who has gene there; it will ruin me. I have reached that time of life when I canna afford to risk all my prospects. and probably the pease and happiness of my family . ' And he intimated, ea if gifted with a knowledge of the future. "I cannot run the risk of being most probably betrayed and de serted by the Administration that appoints Pie " Mr. Buchanan said to him : "Mr. Walker, if you will go there, yen will settle this question in a few weeks "Everything is reedy; here are your instruc tions. I pledge you my word that:everything you desire to smooth your way you shall have " Mr Walker, as if inspired by a sublime suspicion said: " Mr. Buchanan, I will not go Kane is until you allow me to meet your Cabinet face to face, and apcertain from that Cabinet, in person, whether they will. agree that I shell go there and carry out the pledges of the eiaTanaigp of Ind, tallowing the people of Kansas to decide tataa - titer, own institutions in 'their own way,','AcCirdlogly a meeting of the Cabinet of Mr.' 'Buchanan won called. At the meeting, every member of the Cabinet was present. Mr. Buohanan and Mr. Walker were present—Mr. Buchanan in the chair. eleyernor "Walker said: "I have desired - this meeting biome) I have determined not to •go to Kanstie unless 1 , have 1 . 411 instruetions to carry out my own win es, as espreesed - to the Presi dent. If there s any opposing voice, I will not go; I do not want to go; it is by no means an enviable position ; but if I have the permission and consent of you, gentlemen, I will go." Tho Cabinet was polled ; bat one member of the Cabi net objected to the programme laid down by Gov. Walker. I need not mention his name. Gov. Walker said,." That settle! the question, gen tlemen ; I do not wish to go ; a single negative is sufficient, and I will retire from the field." But they took that member of the Cabinet into an adjoining room, and there they convinced him that ides'. Walker was right. They returned and gave Walker his instructions. He went to Kansas with his instruotlons in his pocket, and ac companied bye gentleman well known to the mom try, Mr Stanton, mother Southern stotesman, and an old Buchanan man, who went out with similar pledges. Now, after this plain statement of the theta, I will come down to my own part of this campaign. My ambition to assist and build up my good old State, to push forward her great interests, and assist in the development of bpr industry—to do that which we must all do, at least if we desire success—in duced me to look to Pennsylvania as the theatre of my future labors. Therefore it was that in the year 1817, I started the newspaper which now beam my name at its mast-head. I did this for the purpose Of advocating Mr Baohanan's policy throughout. I 'had had, as I have shown, abundant pledges as to hie course, but before publishing that paper, I took care to write to Mr, Buchanan's Cabinet and tq hilieself, and told them on what grOund / intended to stand on this question of Renew They were so good as to send me sufficient written testimony strengthening me in the position I had assumed on this qustion. I went on with Walhor and Stanton, until the Oxford and McGhee frauds took place, when there was a burst of execration throughout the country. The whole Democratic prom had ar gued constantly the policy of the Administration up to that time as / argue it now ;" but when Gov. Walker rejected these frauds there wee a sudden silence. A pall fell over the oolumne of the Washington Union. Nothing. was said upon the subject of the Oxford and . McGhee frauds. No voice was heard in Washington against it; but I supposed some malign indu °noes, for the moment, had surrounded that journal ; that it had had an attack of some peso liar insanity, like that which has lately lissome chronic with it, and I allowed it to page by. But when the dark, damning deed of Leccimpton was perpetrated, then I saw for the first time that those gallant men in the Territory, Walker and Stanton, and those who noted with theta, had been most cruelly, most shamefully, deserted. I saw that Demooratio principles had been Parried out by them, and that they, and those who believed in them, and in the faith of the President, wore about to be called upon to tarn our backs upon our pledges and betray our manhood. [Applause : l Gentlemen, there was something to much of this; and when the cup was presented to my lips I refused it. [Cheers.] Administrations may change, Presidents may change, but I had been too fully committed on this subject to turn upon the pledges which I had both spoken and written to thousands of mon. I did not for a moment believe that the Adminietretian bad con cluded to abandon the principles whioli had put them into power; that they were resolved to make their policy a test; so when I went to Wash ington and called upon my old friend, I said to him,'' Mr. Buchanan, ler the first time in our lives we are at variance ; I find myself Rending by one great principle, having followed pair; lead, and you have deserted it." " Well," cold e, " Can't you °bang°, too? [Laughter.) If I e n afford to change, why oan't you afford to ohmage? [Re newid laughter ] If you, and Dangles. and Walker, will unite in support of my pidiey, there will not be a whimper of this thing; -It will pass by like a summer breeze ''' I told himt was very well with an Administration, surround d by *Moo t holders and livirfg all the time in the tmospliore of flattery,. that was followed by tipusande of gentlemen who expected place—that they could come to him and say, "You aro right,Mr. Buoha- 1 non ; we are down on our bellies ; plc se to walk I over us—please trample upon us, and we will be happy and content, and hope you will believe your policy is right." " But I tell you," sold I, " that there is a still . , small voice in the people that in stinatively rejects frauds, and this Is not only a fraud but 4 dishonor. I cannot :loser( the princi ple Ido not claim to be more honest than any other man. I have done as all politic:lane halm— some things whieb may not square °Madly with the rules of right, and If I have, I regret them ; , but this thing will not do. [Loud cheers ] lbw reached the stature and years of manhood, and I cannot go bask to Pennsylvania to Sat my own words and become the slave of power, I [Renewed cheers ] I cannot. But then, Mr. Buohanen, you must tolerate this difference of opinion. General Jackson tolerate? differences of opinion, in his friends. Col. Polk tolerated differenceMof opinion, and you differed with him in his view) on the ta riff, and yet you remained in hie Cabinet. Mr. Pierce tolerated differences of opinionr But here yen are. Mon who put you where rat are—who ask nothing at your hands—who have refused your favors—have trampled all the patronage that has been offered them under foot; hem they are, asking to be tolerated in the indulgence of an honest opinion." The reply to that jam inin man ner and substance, ~ Sir, I intend to make my Kansas .polley a test." " Well, sir,'" said I, " I regret it; but if you make it a fait with your offices, we will make it a test at thishallot-box. [Loud cheers.] Repeated efforts wee made to heal the difference. But it seems to me, gentle men, that when the Preeldenoy- is conferred upon a poor mortal, it transform him into a god, in his estimation, or Into a lunatic:. rLaughter.] Nobody is permitted to approach power to tell the truth. Power nevet hears the - thunder yoke of the people, sitting as it does In its cushioned shales, between its marble walls. The independent man, loud and bold, and ialtb a cheap ' eye ' 'whe ;comes to tell the truth, is waved from thePresi - deptial presence as a rude intruder. Then we went home. As I said, repeated efforts were, made, and made in vain, to heal the - difference. This conferring of Presidentiapatronage—of vast 'millidne-,more than the monarch of Great Britain. eiljoid, and, nearly as Mush as the prenoh despot - wields—this patronage induced Mr. Buchanan to belieiid ,that he could make his test successful.' Ho - we/Wit Made ? Gentlemen, when - the chapter which - shall detail the manner in which the Ad ministration has used its patronage to force this ' test upon the white men of the North is written, it will be a black chapter. When our children and our children's children shall come to reed it, they will not believe that an American citizen, elevated to the Presidential chair, in the face of such a people, covered with snob 'an. armor ,of. pledges, could ' have, gone into, that attar to have' used his army — ay, Ms army and - the treasure— your money and mine—your officers and mine— for the purpose of pdtting down a gallant band of men simply for standing: by God's plain truth ; and I could wish that When 'the historian cornea to write he be not j oompelled to write that that President was born in PetinsYlvania' [Applause. i There has not been an element lacking to relieve this unredeemed infamy—net one., There has not been a single circumstance ]tielting. ' They have gone on, step by step. with the re morseless tread of fate and destiny, trying to crush out the breath of the gallant spirits who have stood forth, asking nothing but to be permit ted to do right: Look at the sneetaole in Illinois at this moment. DemOorats, if there are any here, and I trust there are many, you who take the regular organizations, you who swallow this mise rable doss of Leoomptonism, because the regular organization of the State supports it, look at 1111. ,nois, and blush with very shame at the *adagio there exhibited to the world., There is regular or ganization for you, and bow does the Administra tion treat it? They treat it with Contempt and scorn ; the gallant Douglas standing'at the head of the column. If you open the pages of the Washington Union of today, read what it says of Stephen A. Douglas. You would suppose, from what you would read there, that he was sowing pestilence and death throughout the North west. Aye, an be is, too—to false doctrines and to raise men. [ Applause and cheers.] i Look at the onth, in whose name this deed, Le comptonism, has been perpetrated. After its Re presentatives in the Senate rind the House have assisted in hounding down' Stephen A. Douglas and David 0, Broderick and their gallant compa triots in the House, the South begins to say as they see the Administration hell-hounds pursuing and attacking Douglas and his friends in Illinois: t'This is too much. Wo aro ' willing to accept Lel compton as a gilded poison which has boon exten ded to us, and which was to help us, though. the only thing it has done has. been to commit our' Representatives to .a gross wrong toward the Democrats of the North. But we cannot bear this persecution." Read the letter published the oth er day in the New York papers from Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland Road the statements of Alexander 11. Stephens and Henry A. Wise. They are clamorous against these attacks on Mr. Douglas. Public men in this oountry forget, in their truckling to the South, that Southern people are Americans as we are. They have their slavery. They have their peouliarinatitutions. But they re ject a wrong—they reject an infamy—they reject nnfairnessjust as readily es we do. They will not submit to this tyranny of the Administration upon Mr. Dougias. And so it will be when the Admini stration begins by courting the South—.by do t:daring , that the only thing the President should do is to yield to the South—that Administration will soon see the South turning upon it. , What then? It will bo Tylericed [Laughter.] , The Administratien of James Buchanan Tylerised— supported bye sot of offioe.holdera and expeotants only, with all the great parties, and the one that put it in power inclusive, standing from it and shunning it like a contagion ! ..

But have you who are Amerioans witnessed the efforts of the Admlntsetra tration to make a 'union with you?

We Nave proved that wo stand by its we have Wined our backs upon the Administration ; we have rejected its pa tronage; we have laughed at its blandishments— no light thing to do any time, and partioulerly at a time like the present, when our country has been swept by such in whirlwind.

But there is another portion cf the American creed which teaches us, and we are bound to 'believe those who tell it to us, that it its a national creed. They have their Southern connections—they have their Ilumphrey Marshall, their Winter Davis, and their good men, whom I know well, and these are your leaders. They tell us that you are national, and therefore the doctrine of popular sovereignty is for you; above all, it is for the North ; the South ie committed to it—it will not retied°.

I will stand by her to the end, sinless she asks mo to do that which is wrong; then we must part company for a time. The South, gentleman, is committed to this principle, and thus, with all the pledges of the past, with all the hopes of the pre eent, I call upon you to take the principle, and to take it soon ; the train is moving and the oars are tilling up. Come on ; let Es take this for a single principle. Everything else that is right will fol low. and in 1000 there will not be a white man in the North willing to say that he ever hoard the name of Locompton. [Loud cheers.)
