Webb, Esq., who was received with loud applause: SPEECH OF EDWARD G. WEBB, ESQ. Fbllow-Citizbhs : It may be considered a fortunate oireumstanoe in the future welfare of the United States that her people never despair of the Republic. Political contests, however violent in their oharaoter, are bat the moral sterms which purify the partisan atmosphere, apd improve the standard of national representation. To maintain the liberties of a country, a constant struggle is necessary. Party seal is the very saltof a nation's existence, and presents the best evidence of a peo ple’s vitality, what, then, have we to fear noth the rancorous malignity of a few, against the chosen man of the nation ? Is not every freeman entitled to a preference in the ehoioe of nis candi date for the Presidency? Who has the hardi hood to deny this right ? There is a power of re sistance in the human mind whioh death alone can conquer; and he who attempts to foToe the con sciences of men upon either religious or political subjects fails of his purpose, and eventually meets with an overthrow. What two of us think precisely alike upon any subject within the scope of our intellectual faculties? The studious old' philosopher, who proclaimed the dootrioe of a future state of rewards and punishments, perished exultantly in his belief, the victim of per secution, centuries before the advent of Christianity. Inliter days, a ripe Italian so holer avowed tpe fact thai the earth moves around the sun, and re ceived, for the temerity of his discovery, the re ward of the dungeon. , Did either of those aots of venganee atop the career of truth, or dim the radi ance of intellectual.light? Has force ever eradi cated the emotions of human sympathy or contro verted the rule of justice? What harSlephen A. Douglas to fear from the fact that he has Drought the decision of an exciting question in political economy down to the tribunal of the people them selves, who are the source of all power In a re publican government. In this oountry, we decide most questions by a majority of votes, and the ex ception! to this rule ate out few in number, and strictly for conservative purposes. We have found security and prosperity la the rule of the suuority, and in a ready acquiescence in whatever it may ■ iwit mwiwiwi w upiimm awy USIWSIJ euCOp r»ged, without the d.nj.r of daeolated homea or th« extinction of libertj. Ha only ii ■ fremiti whom the truth make* free. What haaeauMdall.tfce reoeotoommotion among th. extern, man of tlis South 7 Do youbeliere that it iiiui Aram the dames ted exhortations of a •mall band of oxeitad Abolltionlet*, who preach treason toths Union at vooifarctuly as the Southern DUunlonbtf thomMires ? It is a singular ffcot that while Abolitlonisti and fire-eater, travel in oppo sita directions In argument, they arrive at precisely thf same remedy for ailtbelr trooblee, and that 'lm in a rupture of the ties whioh bind this Union together. No better evidenoe of the erroneous views of both these elessee of axtremlits could be had than the remedy they propose. They eon found all the roles of logio, and seek. only to con fnie theunderitandingi or men. Morbid sensibility in the one cleat, often resulting from a tottering intellect, nrddaoes the seme effect ae towering am bition ana uttar selfishness in the other. Neither comprehend the pnetieel lessons of life, for they boih deride the teachings of experlenoe, and resist the Integrity of oontraete. That elevating sympathy whioh expands the mind and purifies the heart does hot counsel the planing of deadly pikes in the bandf of ignorant negroes, that they may destroy a superior reoo and debauch a nation, any more than It seeks to renew the horrors of the slave trade by evading the laws of oar country and of humanity. Whatever grievances society hes to redress, wisdom dirests that tke remedy shall be applied withealm ness, after mature deliberation. Beformt, to be effeotual, mutt be gradual. Violent remedies are generally productive of mischief. The human mind receives its knowledge in minute quantities, until the aggregated matter la snfiloient to form the intellect But what exoitea the Southern extremists at this particular juncture of oar national affaire ? The truth flaahee through the uus ol incoherent the* torlo with whieh the nation has been deluge*. The South hu controlled our Government from the very moment of Its formation to the present in stant; but no*r feeli assured that the power is pawing from her hands. The free States of the Union, and particularly the Northwest, loom up with impeelng magnitude, and are destined to shape the future or tbe country. The next census, and the ratio oi representation under it, will place the Bonth in a meagre minority in the Kouse*of Repre sentatirei. She feels this deprivation, and with sensitive declamation utters threats ot disunion, through her half traitorous Yanceys and Iversons. Although she holds the Senate, both as a check upon improper legislation against her interest, and frequently as a scourge to refraotory Northern po- HUoans, gad will continue to sway its power to long as parties are divided as they now are at the North, yet she is jealous of the increasing strength of the free States, and seeks to load their Democracy with platforms which lead directly to the destruc tion of our organisation What produast this in cessant effort to conple a large number of the free States with defeat? Judged by tho ordinary methods of seeking the truth, it would appear that the South, acting as a unit, desires success only in a sufficient number of free States to make up a bare working majority in the House of Represent*’ lives, eo that, by a preponderating vote, Southern influence may direot the legislation of the two Houses of Congress, and thus control the President himself, to whatever party he may belong What other motive can the extremists of the South have in dooming u* to defeat npon a strictly seoticnsl platform ? Every free State, except Vermont and Massachusetts, has been earned by the Demoo racy, add could be again, if it were not for the domineer ing spirit, of Southern ultralstf. This would give the House of Representatives to the Democrats of the North, aid, of oeuree, divide the power of the nation between the Northern and Southern De mocracy. Against such a just contingency the South ereets her platforms, and presents them as her ultimatums in national conventions and halls of legislation. She will have no divided authority. Oligarchies are always because there is a concentrated power in the hands of a few,' who are trained to a peculiar system of political economy. What hu Judge Douglas done that he should ne made the subjeet of such hostile demonstrations as we have reoeuUy visited? He has been the un wavering friend of Southern rights, and has bent the power of his glgantio intellect to their support and preservation, whenever and wherever assailed. The South demanded the repeal of the Missouri Compromise line, established by herself, and en listed Douglas as the chamnion of her cause. Neither the establishment of that line nor Its re peal was the suggestion of his mind. Southern men asserted thatits abrogation would give peace to- the Union; and, to allay the excitements of the d*y, like a true patriot-, Douglas gave his loftiest energies to its repeal, at a measure of justlee. The Kansas and Nebraska act became necessary as an explanatory statute to the repeal of the Mis souri Compromise; and here, again, be waspusbed forward as its boldest and ablest advocate. The loi ter and spirit of the latter act proclaimed the right of the people to mould the Institutions under which they desired to live; subjeet only to the Constitu tion of the Union. AU the speeches delivered upon the subject in Congress, before the passage of this act, bore the same unmistakable Interpretation. The.Cinoinasti platform presented the same fea ture, . and Mr. Buohanan*s letter of aooeptanoe, sealed both the meaning and contract con tafned in that platform. Having been tt delegate to the Cieeinnati Convention, I eaa tori ify to the single ness of purpose in.that body, when the platform was framed. It had but one meanlag there, and not the slightest intimation was given that it would bear any other construction than that now riven it by Judge Beagles. With rare fidelity amt he stowage he has met every attempt to destroy the right or .the people to govern themselves, and now appeals to that same people to maintain the conditions of the bond as ratified by the Demo cracy in national council smembled. If the prin ciples contained in the Cincinnati platform nave operated in favor of freedom in some of the Terri* torilff, an . opposite effect has resulted from those principles In more Southern localities. The prin ciple of self«goverameut has become too deeply seated In the public mind to be eradicated by the vaporlog breath, of dUunionists, either North or South. Judge Douglas, is the exponent of that just and lofty principle, and the pulse of the na tion throbsresponsively tohUowa. The Charles ton Convention declared in hi* favor by a majority of the whole number, of votes contained in that body, and yet the imperious demand is made that he nail withdraw from the oauvaas, in order tp THE PRESS. -PHILADELPI satisfy ike ambitious designs of the cuml traitor, ou awedere. Beif-respeol is the eWei element In manhood* Whenever this is seeriflaed to either threats -or persuariov the condition of «ia very is upon the disarmed victim. Tha idle declaration that. tha strength' of Judge Douglas Ues in States whioh tha Opposlttos.wiU carry, loses even its shadowy force fcaentt IS known that bis friends represented in tha Charleston Convention more than double the number of Democratic votes cast by the whole Southern delegation. Are the Damooratxof the North to have *no voioe in our National Convention., simply beoanie'they have been thrown into a minority by the very action of the South itself? , In this city, at the recent local election, the gallant Democracy, marshalled by the friends of Douglas, polled more than thirty-five thousand votes ; a number equal to the entire vote of South Carolina, of every shade of politics. And yet we are to be denied a representation of imy weight in the National Convention, for the absurd reason that ;we were defeated' by a fewhutidred votes.' This may be called* justice' in the cotton growing States, but such an idea is spumed with sontempt wherever manhood is held in proper esti mation. .That we have been ussaocessfalinthe Sut is owing to the rampant spirit manifested by re-eatiog demagogue! in Congress.' It will be oar fault if we continue to obey their dlotatioa. The minds of our citisenshave caught the glow of in tellectual light as it has fallen from'the brain of Douglas, ana all the terror! of earth cannot now darken the truth. The doctrine taught by our great leader is, that this Union was formed by our fathers upon terms of perfect equality. The Constitution whioh they prepared for us, Bnd laws necessary to the execu-, non of its requirements, should be rigidly enforced. Its advantages should enure alike to every por tion of the Confederacy. Less than this would make one section of the Union inferior and subjeot to the other. Tbe States are members of one fa mily, divided Into several households, and each member must be permitted to regulate her domes tic concerns according to her best judgment for the seounty of both person and property. From the foundation of our Governments domestic servitude baS existed in tbe South, and received a two-fold recognition as property and person,' entitled to re presentation in the National House of Represents-, lives by ts latter char aeteristic. AH the motives which bind men to an honesty of purpose, require that we should allow the South to manage their “ pe culiar institution” in their own way, free from the slightest interference on our part The peace ana safety of Bullions of freemen are not to be jeo pardised by the wild ambition of .ranting demage- Sues, who are always fecundated by blood, or by the emented ravings of skeptical philanthropists. The South cannot, without the greatest danger to the white raoe, liberate her slvavas on her own soil, and Pennsylvania, as a herder State, would resist, at all haaanls, any attempt to flood her territory with hordes of manumitted Africans. Let us not suppose that fanaticism exists only in the North. It luxuriates with equal rankness ip the South, and reoeives its hue from the same dar color. By different theories, seemingly paradoxi cal, the two fanaticisms arrive at disunion as tee curative of all their troubles. He who flippantly speaks of disunion Is already half a traitor in hfa heart, and for the first oyert act should die upon a gallows. A rapture of this'Confederacy is not to be peaoeably accomplished. Widespread desola tion and rivers of blood would mark the career of some military despot who would arise in the san gainary strife, and seise the liberties we were madly attempting to destroy. Suppose the North should conquer the South, or the South the North: would either event bring repose'or safety? Tbe lessons of history answer this question with an em phatic negative. Soooestfal vengeanee would have but a joyless and precarious safety if established upon fearorforoe, and, like some conquerors, would probably die of a pestilence exoited by the dead bodies of the vanquished. Stephen. A. Douglas has discovered the remedy for ail our grievances in tee dootrine of non-intervention, ana in his mas terly etateszp&pship the nation: will flourish io safety. The voioe of the majority has called him to be our standard?bearer, and the Baltimore Con vention should ratify the selection. \ Capt. E. W. Rower, on being introduced, was repeatedly cheered. As Democrats, we bad the right to proclaim our choice among the candidates for the position of President. Stephen A. Douglas, during bis life, had been the advocate of the right of thought, speeoh, and action. We olaim tbe right to adopt him as our standard-bearer—and we presented him, toe, as tbe life-long defender of the principles of Jefferson, fif*dison, Monroe, and the' illustrious Jackson, who gulfled th! b«lm the' Union in a dark and troublous orisii. [Cheers.J The question was one of patronage against principle. The one wished to rule or ruin the Democratlo party, the other desired to build, up the party and the nation. In 1850, at Cincinnati, Mr. Douglas, with characteristic magnanimity, withdrew his name and secured Mr. Buchanan’s nomination. He need not aay that this magnanimity had not been returned. We were now preparing logo to Baltimore and insist upon the nomination of Mr. Douglas, and they would represent at that Convention the sontiment of thou sands of Philadelphia Democrats. At the conclusion of Captain Power’s speech the Fifteenth-ward delegation arrived in great-num bers, with musio, banners, lanterns, and fireworks. The President introduced, to tee assembly as the next speaker Hon. Ira C Mitchell, of Centre coun ty, who was received with three oheors. J SPEECH OF HON. IRA C. MITjJHKLL. Fble.ow-Dbvgcp.ats op the Citt of Philadel phia: When 1 u...v me array of Democrats sur rounding me, u hj t ou account of their vast ability and unfaltering fidelity to the principles of our ; popular Government, have long' been regarded by the entire country as the exponents of tee pafrfy* I am extremely reluctant' ip response to the call nan be promleed expected, tne faaUbatl am freah from the interior, where Democrat* lire in' natire almplkity, will luetify nie In eayin. to too that tbe deutonetration of to night la hot the reflex of the waited eeutlmentof our petty tbroaghoar tha Oommonwaalth. We are now about entering a political oontest only equalled in im&orUnco-(and I so say after de liberate oonsideratlßn, and in obedienoe to my solemn Conviotione) by the great struggle to whioh we owe our civil liberty, and which called forth the, heroism of a Washington, the eloquence of a Henry, and the magnanimous patriotism of a Morris. An attempt toforoe upon the country the “irrepressible confliot dootrine,” first taught by Abe Lincoln, and echoed throughout the land by. that prince of eeetionalists, William H. Seward, li now.'.being made in the North and in the South. It is need lees for me to say to this treedom-iovlhg mass that such an antagonism would most certainly in volve the vitality and perpetuity of the Ameri can Union, and, per consequence, . the fate of oivU liberty and social happiness throughout the world. jn an immense empire, such as that over which the banper of the “stars and stripes ” waves in its unequalled magnifi cence, the local and sectional feelings of its differ ent divisions are necessarily hostile and intense; enlisting op either side armies whiob/if hrougnt in'confliot, most prove alarmingly destructive to eaob other-i-moving forward to conquer or to die— each animated ana fired by the Strongest passions of the homan breast, and surrendering only when the prise for which they fight has been trampled in the dost, destroyed and ruined. priso in the contest whioh will ensue in this nation, should the National Demooratlq party be subverted, will be the Goddess of Liberty herself; and speaking clearly within bounds, the iasue would be fearfully uncertain. And, my fellow-citi*ehs, there iw } in my humble opinion, but one course by which this lamentable orisis may be avoided. That oourse is simply to pursue, with fidelity, the polar-star of our Republic; to adhere striotly and deoidediy to the fundamental principles ef the American Go vernment, and carry out that great idea growing out of the diversity of our interests, and developed by our political fathers. The substantive loot which led to the formation of a confederated De mocracy was tfie diversity of surface, soil, cli mate, and interests essentially and continually ex isting within our boundaries, and forbidding tbe application of uniform legislation to the varied business, commercial, poliuoai, and social pecu liarities of our people. The question now ip— and the decision ot that question is for the National Democracy exclusively—whether this vital idea of our confederation shall be destroyed, for it is only by its annihilation that the “ Irrepressible conflict” can ever be inau gurated. A collision of interests bad mdoh to do with the subversion of tbe great Republic of an tiquity, and to-day it enervates the Germanic Diet, and venders it powerless even for self-preservation. The true doctrine is that, for all loo*! and domeado purposes, the people of eaob municipality, so long as they keep within constitutional restrictions, shall be tree and independent, and that the objects and purposes of our Federal Union shall be general protection, common defence, and national security, but pot tyranny or inter vention. Government has the right to demand of tbe Individual the surrender of so much of his natural liberty as is nectstary for the public good, and no more. In accordance with these Demooratio and indisputable truths, the Oharleston Convention has noted in the adoption of its platform, and it now only retrains for the adjourned meeting of that body, In Baltimore, to adhere to and ratify |U former action, by plaolng npon tbe platform al ready made and emphatically endorsed by the peo ple, the consistent, noble, invinoible champion and representative of those principles and of the party, Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois. This, sir, the moat malignant tradoeen of. that great statesman, in Pennsylvania, pronounce a political necessity, imperatively demanded, if we desire to elect, next fall,any candidate, from oounty auditor toPreildent. The hearts of the American people swell in spontane ous outbursts of admiration for, and devotion to, the “ Little Giant.” and their vitality—their energy— will be crixahed opt and their life ourreuts fatally stagnated, if he is made the victim of . political en vy and rival ambition. No man, except perhaps Washington and Jackson, has ever held tbe masses of all parties so firmly bound to him with a pham of mental, heartfelt sympathy, and ooncurrent, instinctive patriotism, os does the Illinois Senator to-day. A disregard of this pervading sentiment at Baltimore would be suioidal madness, and the confidence inspired by the history of the party for* bids any apprehensions that such will be the re sult. Moreover, it behooves us to ignore all connec tion with, and all responsibility for. tbe follies and criminality of the present Federal Administration, in ord rto have the slightest dawn of hope ia the appr aching campaign. This, sir, we" can never do xy sacrificing Douglas. Forbid it reason 1 for bid it justice! that the only prominent public .nan whose patriotism and oourage have Inspired him, In advanoo of tbe popular verdiot, to repudi ate the anti-Demooratio and corrupt tendencies of his political associates, should be immolated In order to conciliate that faction with whioh sympa thy would be suicide. Let him be nominated on the Charleston platform—let the seceding minority pursue Its own - promptings, and our worst position will be to stand as a barrier between the Northern and Southern dogs of disunion, to prevent their threatened confliot. Insuohaoaose, wuhsoohpres tige as we will have, the issue cannot be doubtful— the victory will be oars, the country wiU be main tained, and sectionalism will sink, never again to raise its hideous form over our prosperous and glo rious land. Eugene Ahern, Esq., made a few remarks. He felt a heartfelt pride in meeting with the people of Philadelphia in doing honor to Stephen A. Doug las. We were there with the view and the oer tainty of influencing Ibe opinion of the delegates of Baltimore. The meeting he was addressing presented a grand moral speotaoie to tho people, of this nation. They were supporting a man; and not only a man, but immortal principles which he enunciated. He concluded by an earnest tribute to the Senator from Illinois, which was loudly cheered. At the conclusion of Mr. Ahern’s remarks, the meeting adjourned with cheers for Douglas. lA, TUESDAY, . JUNE *««*■ .aRW** HEEDING ON THIRTEENf H STREET. In order to accommodate the Urge somber of people who oonld cot obtaia entrance inty the hall, a meeting jrai organised on Thirteenth atreet, by eelllng JoMph Collins, Esq,, to the chair: SPEECH OF ETJGEN 8 AHERN, ESQ. 'Eugene Ahern, Esq., was the fleet speaker. They had come there in the strength of cumbers, and amid the,lnclemency ef the weather, to mini festthelr devotion to the gallant Senator from Illi neit, 'Stephen A. Douglas. [Cheers,) They were Slad' to xneet one another here, and .to fled hemselens enrolled in a good cause. x , They were for Stephen A. Douglas booauso he was the man for the nation’s destiny—because be embodied to hts whole pabllo life Democratic principles, and devotion to the union of the States of the Confederacy. • Had he been nominated be* fore the last municipal election, the Democratic ticket Would have triumphed. The speaker bit* Hefty .attacked the Secessionists ef the party who attempted to*break down the glorious system of Uw under which we live. He felt that the unity of the party demanded the nomination of Hr. Dongl as, and he closed with an earnest appeal to the people to me their efforts to accomplish that result. SPEECH Ot WM. A. EDWARDS, ESQ. Woi. A.. Edvards, Esq., was next introduced, and said: ‘ Fellow-Dsmqcrats : We assemble here to* night, the personal and political friends of the great Douglas, to send forth the voioe of the De mocracy ot Philadelphia In favor of hU nomina tion by the. Democratic National Convention at Baltimore- This i‘ a meeting of Demoarats to ex press to a Democratic Convention their choice for the nominee of the Democracy in the coming Pre sidential struggle. Whatever divisions may have existed in the past upon question* of policy and principle, we are united now, for the Charleston Convention has cemented the Democratic brother hood, by admitting as delegates those who strng. gled upon either side of tho great question that has So sadly distracted our glorious eld party. Let us t*ko wise counsel by tho action of that august 'body, and again march on with united hosts to vic tory. The Constitution and tho Union, the en forcement of tho laws of tho land, the mainte nance of our institutions in all the integrity and purity in whioh they have been handed down to us by the patriots of the Revolu tion, depend upoa the success of tho Democratic party. And bow shall wo achieve that result, so naught with good for tho interests of our country? By taking for oar champion him who alone can lead us on toviotory—the valiant, bold, and Invin cible Giant of the Northwest. Give us Douglas, and Pennsylvania will roll up cuoU a majority as will forever banish sectionalism and abolitionism, cause tho old Keystone to wheel into column ' again as a Democratic State. Of right, this nomi nation belongs to Douglas. He has already re ceived a‘majority vote «.*!! the delegates of the Union, and his opponSsts ihould yield to him tho same courtesy that he extended in 185$, at Oinoin nati, when Mr. Buohuan havlog received a ma jority vote, he instructed his friends to yield a .Vyo-thirds to him who had a majority. Moreover, the masses of the people throughout this Union are for Douglas, and the politicians tuqst not, and will pot, disregard the popalar will. Douglas is my first only dioic* for President, but at tho same time | am wilting to sing hosannas to the nominee of the Convention,.tor X conscientiously believe any Democrat is hotter than the best seotlonalist. SPEECH OP COL. JOHNS. PAINTER. Col. JohnS. Painter next made a few remarks, in the course of which he denounced' ti)9 Republl can party as g gpoqopa] organisation, end eulo-' gised Senator Douglas as'the only man who could carry Pennsylvania against the Black Republicans. .[Cheers.] Mr. Docglaa was the friend of North, the South, the East and Westrrtho favor ito of no one section, bill tha ohampion of the whole yniop The speaker Instituted a compari son between Mr. Douglas aod Mr. Lincoln, and said the election of the latter would launch us on q sea of trouble over which we couiq nos rifle with safety. Jle concluded amid loud applause. SPEECH OF JAMES B. NICHOLSON, ESQ. Jakes B. Nicholsok, Esq., was then intro duced to the meeting, amid great applause. He said: Fellow-Democbays : We have met to-night to exercise some of our rights as freemen. The Na tional Convention of the Democratic party will shortly reassemble to nominate candidates for the highest osoes in the gift of the American people. As the members of that Convention have no au- thority, except that delegated to them by tho masses of the party, it seems peculiarly appropri ate, iu the prfesont condition of political affairs, that the masses in oounoil should declare their will —lndicate unmistakably their preferences—so that those who -are faithless, and abuse the high trust reposed In them, may, in the midst of their mad ness, bobold the handwriting of tho people—Thou art weighed. In the balance and found wasting.” Tho National Convention, whioh met at Charles top, rcafjirmed the doqtnnes qf. tho Qiopinpati platform. Popular sovereignty has, therefore, been deolured by tho highest pfditioai authority in the land to be sound Democratic doctrine; a decision to the contrary woold have been antagonistic to De mocratic principles. The doctrine of the supremacy of the people is ohe that lies at the foundation of all republican institutions; it is tho corner-stone of Democracy. The right Is inherent, original; it is an attribute of man, conferred upon him by his Creator; it is a pert of man’s being, one of the re sponsibilities of bis existence. The right of self govermn'enTnaa been nobly vindicated oy our pa triot!# sires, and wa are now aalled upon to main tain it, and to illustrate it upon the pages of our .country’* history. We assert that this is a Ttgkt consequent upon manhood; wo exercise , jriuroluieus oj FennsyivaDla, and so long as we -htijod upon American soil It la T , part of our birth ■tight, and tits enjoyment one of the legaoies be queathed to us by our Revolutionary for*f&a#re.

Tht dootrlne of the supremacy of tno peo* file occupies the ground upon which every over of Ms country may seonrely rest; based upon tiie Constitatlon and its compromises, no in tervening foot Q&noross it. It is not a wild, vision ary dreaa, bat a real, constant, enduring good. The efforts of sectionalism to distant sec tions, and to ase the Federal Government as an in strument cf conquest, is bat an evidence of the blind infatuatloi of theorists and secessionists, and serves but to inotease the necessity of ibo people rising in their mnjlaty and asserting thoir supremacy, in order to htsten the day of the final triumph of the dootrine oi the sovereignty of the people, and to effect tbo complete aud total overthrow of the conflicting elements that have oomblned to oppose Tho great trouble in eighteen hundred end fifty blx waa to convince the people of Pennsylvania of the sinoerpy of the nominee of tho Democratic party upon the question of the subject of slavery being left to the uncontrolled will of tbe people of the Territories, The nominee felt this, ana used the strongest expressions of fealty to the doctrine, abjuring his personality,and declaring himself to be the embodiment of tho Cincinnati platform. Tkero is ppw no donbt whatever in the public mind as to iho conscientious conviotlons, tho sin* cerlty of Stephen A.

This mooting is but a faint indication of the popular opinion, for those who come in oontaofc with the people throughout tho State hoar bat one son* tlinont everywhere, except among the dependents upon Federal patronage. Douglas and Victobv are synonymous words, for the people of Pennsyl vania do most honestly and sinoorely believe that upon the nomination of Stephon A. Douglas at Baltimore depend not only immediate success and tho future well- being of tho Democratic party in tho Keystone Stato, but the very vitality of the National Denooraoy; and if the will of the Demo cratic party Of Pennsylvania be truly represented in the Baltimore Convention, there will bo no more bendindtothe decrees of one mao, no more gratification of personal animosities, but the dele gation from tljls Stato, realizing the high responsi bilities that Mat upon them, w*u!d riso as one man, and east a stlra vote for the champion of the peo ple, Stephen A.

Owon, E*q., delivered the concluding address ; Tho BemoorKtio part; is noaesgarily progressive Its maintenance of power is attributable to this faot. Its leading men aro suooossful in proportion as they are atyo to oomprehend this necessity of progress, and: havo the oourngo to Rdvooato moasures which tend to the development of tho mutori&t wealth of the country, and the perfection of its institutions A great American statesman is he who, regard* less of consequences to existing otiqnes find fac tions, regardless of tho intoreats of mere local parties and sectional men, takes a comprehensive view of the fundamental principles of our Govern* ment, and of the interests of the whoto oountry and of the whole people, and devotes himself to the defence of .the oonstltotlonkl rights of all tho btates, and of the whole country.- The distinguished Senator from Illinois, Stephen A. Douglas, occupies a proud position before the country, lie has comprehended the wants of his age and country, ile points the way to permanent peace; he stands at the bead of the advancing oo< lumn of progressive Democraoy. and invites his countrymen to the realization ox a purer light, a higher morality, : and a more perfect freedom. At this juncture in our history ns a peopte, how invaluable are the serviees of sash a men! Con* template for a moment our wonderful progress, and our accumulation of woaUh'kud glory. It is the rapidity of our advancement whioh subjects us to so many dangers. We have In New England a system of manufac ture already constructed, whioh rivals that of Eng* land in its perfection and completeness. The cot ton fabrics of our looms aro for sale in every mart of the world, and their manufacturers are rolling In wealth. In the Middle States we have machine factories, whose produots are found wherever Art has her votaries, and the sound of our machinery, like the drum beat of England's martial power, follows the sun in his daily mroult. Oar commerce visits every iB6O. eliaae; the merchant* of Europe pay tribute to our entarpriae, and the exclusive Asiatic seeks our shores, and asks for a, closer intimacy, and an en. during friendship with our people. ~ In the South wo produce cotton in such vast quantities that, together with the sugar, tobacco, rice, and hemp, produced there, will soon reverse the tide of speoie, and regulate the money market of the world. , Unfortunately, there has followed a concentra tion of wealth in particular localities, and in ' the bands of particular men, which has very naturally produced a desire to assume an undue influence In the Government New England, with her inherent energy, her great intelligence, and her vast money-making manufacturing system, wants to overshadow all other interests with hers, and oontrol the Govern ment for the promotion of her speoles of labor. Tha cotton States, whose planters nave -beeoae - pie thorio with riches, and ambitious of control, seek to subvert the Government, and prostitute its powers to the promotion of their particular into* rests, and for the protection and extension of their species of labor. Each of these parties seek to ac complish their purpose by the same means—the intervention of Congrees, and the centralisation of power in the General Government. But opposed to these are the masses of the peo ple throughout the whole country. The conserva tive elements are marshalling their forces for the dofoat of these extremists, and put forth as their ohampion Stephen A. Douglas,'whose great doc trine of “ popular sovereignty ” is the only prac tical solution of the, vexing .question of.efavery. Persecuted as he his been, ny,the whole power ef the Administration, and the cotton States threat ening dissolution if he should be even nominated by his party, yet he has defeated them all, and ob tained a majority of the Charleston Convention. He is entitled to the nomination, and if nominated, will be triumphantly elected. Let the people rebuke the intermeddling of the General Government and its officials with matters exclusively belonging to the aleetors, by the nomi nation of the man whom they have dared to pros titute their official power to defeat. At the close of Mr. Owen’s remarks the meeting adjourned. During tho progress of the meeting in the hall, the prooeedings were enlivened by the following songs, whioh were recited in different parts of the hall: The Philistines and Goliah.
