Five -hundred lumbermen upon ' the ' Aroostook-—I think I have got ’the' name right-learning that the meeting was to be held,- and: that they were unrepresented unless, they took some-notion,' at once - dropped their axes, assembled together, and appointed delegates to go to Portland - After the.

It looms up like a star of hope to us of .the South,' and to those in the North, who stand by the Con stitution and tiie Union. All eyes are turned upon Pennsylvania in this contest. Tour great stand ard-beam will never falter, but like the Old Guard of napoleon, he may dle, but he will never sur render. [Great applause 1 Upon our own battle-fields upon the Rio Grande,. Gen. Taylor, when called on to surrender, sent back word to Santa Anna that he never ed, and I tell you thet we have now got at the head of the Democratic column one of the most gallant spirita—one thoroughly identified with the Ameri can people of all sections, and altogether one of the noblest Democrats presented to the country since the days Of Andrew Jackson; [Great applause.] Rally to him, gentlemen, as our forefathers rallied to the country upon this spot against King George and h(s myrmidons, and made that Declaration of Independence, read here for 'the first time to the American people. Rally to him, in God’s name, rally to him. [Cries of “we will”, and-applanse.J He cannot speak for himself now—if he could, bo would do it effectually.

No !J Who. has .ever before heard of such besotted arrogance, gross tyranny, end abuse of power, as have been manifested by President James Buchanan and. bis Administration? What did we sefi at Baltimore? Evera influence which the Government could bring to bear,- by means < of the Federal efloe-hotdera, was brought to bear for the purpose of dividing the National Democratic Convention, and of distracting and dividing the Demoeratio party. At Charleston It was the same thing. Look at the deplorable position in wbioh - the seceding disunionists have plaoed themselves. They went out of the Charleston Convention be* cause the majority report was not adopted in ro* gard to a platform; and then out’of the BaKi* t more Convention because the minority report was not adopted. Gentiemen, don’t that look like an' open-and-shut game? But that Is not all. As toon as it was ascertained that they would bolt from the Convection, Mr.-Buchanan's Administra tion telegraphed to Baltimore that the SeoOders emld have toe use of the old Presbyterian Church. These conspirators against the integrity of the De mocratic party and the continuance ol the Union were Offered shelter beneath the roof-treeof aeburoh owned by the Government i Hat they were as much afraid to go 'there as they say the devil's afraid of holy water. [Laughter ] Now, if evera set of men ought to meet at a oburobaud tobeaf feetedby the teaehlngs of reason and justice, they are the men. They ought to have dropped upon their knees' and prayed, “ Ob, Lord, forgive us our sins.” They ought to have called upon all good men to pray tor them. *" *■ In regard to Alabama you have heard from my dlatingutsbed friend who has preseded me,' He has told you that Alabama has another' sentiment be sides that' of.

He said: J ' , FstLow-ciTiziNs: ! am proud of the oppor tunity to meet and address so large and respeotable an assembly-of the unterrifiedDemooraoy of the good old Commonwealth of, Pennsylvania. I am ooe of the squatter sovereigns—born in a Territory, and having lived in Territories always nntil lowa became a State. [“Sound -Democrat,” and ap plause.] We Democrats ef this west regard you as the Keystone of the Federal arch.. *zd never in the history o‘f the Republio have you had a more im portant duty ,to discharge than chat whioh you will be o&Ued upon to perform at the approaching Pre sidential election. Most unexpectedly, the Demo cracy—that party which has ruled the nation for ! the nation’s good, from the days of Thomas Jeffer son, with a few slight exceptions—have, in their recent Convention, met with Secession and Dis union. A small portion of the delegates to the Demooratio National Convention have bolted, and this defection came from the South—that Southern wing Of our foroes whioh, In times past, always stood true te the party and the country—but still there were. left in tho Convention two thirds of the delegates, as upright and as patriotic men as ever assembled together in this or any other oonntry. Gentlemen of the Key stone State, in the approaohlng eleotion you will be oalled upon not only to give your vote for Ste phen A. Douglas, [cheers.] but also for Henry D. .Foster, the gallant-ohampion of the Demooraoy from Westmoreland bounty. I have known him long and well, and, know that ho is eminently worthy of the high station to which he has been nominated, and to whioh high place he is soon, I trust, to he elevated by your united suffragos. ["That's so," and,great applause.] What would you have thought of the Convention whioh plaoed General Foster in nomination. If one-fourth or one third of the delegates to your Reading Convention, acting by the advice of some of the other gentlemen whoso names had been before the Convention for the office for whioh he was nominated, bad boltod from that body and placed in nomination one of the gentlemen who had been a candidate against j him?, Would you. not have branded them as trai- ; tors? (“Tea,’' and applause.] Now,gentlemen, the proceedings at Baltimore were just snob as might have occurred in your State Convention under the oiroumstanoes I nave indicated to you Let us, then, regard ourselves as most fortunate that, not withstanding all the difficulties with which webave had to contend in this contest, we have scoured tho choice of the nation. We have not got the man the politicians desired, but we have got the one man whose nomination the people preferred over all, others; and as ours is a nation in which the people rule, the result of that nomination must be a triumph at the ballot-box. [Great applause] I indignantly repel the charge whioh has been made j by the Seoeders and their confederates, that the ! majority of the Democracy in the Baltimore Con- ] ventlon were wedded to a man and not to prlncl- 1 pies. We prefer our principles to any man; but' it so happened that the man for whom wo con tended was tho man of the people, the man for whom the States of the great Northwest had in structed in a body. And hailing from that section as I do, I tell you thatyou will near as good report from it. - [Cheers. J We will hardly take time to Notice the beces&lonists out there. In all that sec tion there will be little encouragement offered to them there; but we are looking to a bitter struggle with that other, and more formidable enemy, tne Black Republican party, which has triumphed in numerous State elections and whioh Is now expect ing to take advantage of our divisions and there by elect Linooln President of the United States. [»«Never, never "j .Fellow oil liens, let the re membrance that your standard-bearer has already met and defeated the representative of the Block Republicans inspire you with now energy, and in cite you on to viotory. Douglas is already in the habit of beating Lin coln in their own State, and whilst he reoeived Lincoln's fire In front, another battery was opened upon him in the rear; but their joint efforts wore in vain. He triumphed- after one of the hottest fights that ever marked a Senatorial or any other oootest, and if you are only true to yourselves bo will triumph again over the combined foroes of the allies, fie will beat them all back if his friends stand firm. The eyesof the nation are now turned to Pennsylvania, to see if she will not maintain the reputation which she has always enjoyed in the Demooratio party, I address men, many of whom stood by “ Old Hickory” in his memorable contest with the United States Bank, and this oircumstanoe recalls to mv mind a most gratifying reminiscence oonneoted with our leader! Who was )t who on tho floor of the House of Representatives made the greatest speech ever made in that body in defenoe of “Old Hickory,” and for .refunding tbe fine tin posed on him for saving New Orleans? It was Ste phen A' Douglas who did it, and who enjoys the great and heartfelt satisfaction of having received to tbaoks of the glorious old hero of tho Hermit age, a short time before bis death. General Jack son stating it was* the ablest vindication ever made of his conduct. Again, who was it that delivered the most me morable and eloquent speech ever made in the House of Representatives in ad7ooacy of the prose cution of the Mexican war? Who was it who crossed steel with John Quincy Adams, and over threw him in debate? It waa Stephen A. Douglas, your nominee. Who was it who drew with his. gopdly right hand the bills whioh organized all the Territories admitted into this Union since 1843,;and. who aided to fight all the Compromise measures through tbe Senate? The same great man. I was in Washington at that time as a North western Senator, an humble friend and follower of his, and of Olay, Webster, and Cass, and I happen to know his services at that critical period of our country's' destiny. I know that Henry Olay relied-upon him- more than npon any other man, entrustea to him the drawing up of tho Compromise bills, and oalled upon him, when his voice beoame so feeble that he could no longer fill the Senate, to take his place and fight the battle for the admis sion of California, Utah, and New Mexico, [great applause,] and for tbe establishment of the princi ple that the people shall be left free to shape their own domestic institutions and control their own destinies! . Who was it that lashed 6nmner, Seward.-A Co., and triumphed over them in the great -debate npon the jKtns&s-Nebreska bill, which established a living prinoiple by whioh the matter of slavery is to ba settled, and that vexed question to be forever banished from the halls of Congress? It waeStephen A. Douglas, {cheers } You all knew him , [A voice, “And love him,” eheers.] I knew him when he was an humble pioneer with his paok upon his baokt [Cheers.] X knew him when he rushed the jack-plane In a village in Illinois.

[Applause.] And, gen tleman, if tbe bolters and political trioksters who are now at work to defeat the oboice of the people for tho highest offioe in their gift suc ceed,'he will grow upon their hands jest as old Hickory did, when he was defeated for the same imstiion, -and by tha same means, in 1824. [Cheers.] Th«; familiar name, by which he is npw known among his countrymen, is that of the. Little Giant but if he U cheated by these Secessionists and Disunionists he will be known in the future as tho “Big Giant,” before whom intriguing politi cians will fly, as from the wrath to oom** I tell you, that |if he ever comes down on any of them the unfortunate man will think that he weighs more than a ton. (Great applause.] If he is beaten now, his success in the future Is certain ; while those who oppose the party, because he is its nominee, will be consigned to oblivion. (“That's so,” and obeers.] The people lore him because he is true Jo them ana maintains their rights. They have watched with interest the persecutions to which he has been subjected; they have seen him removed from tbe chairmanship of the Com mittee on Territories by a tyrannical majority, be cauee of bis independence, and they have seen those who should have sustained him an/i strengthened his hands, resort to every trick to disgrace him, because they were jealous and envious of Mb hold on tbe jpo, pular heart. The result cf these attempts is before you. Without patronage, without power, he has stood forth in the Demooratio Convention at Charleston and at Baltimore triumphant and vic torious.- He received from that Convention tbp greatest botoOr it could pay Mm, the regular legiti mate nomination for the Presidency, and if yon are true to yourselves, you will ratify that nomination at the ballot'bor.

Dopsbbutv, E«q.. then oame forward ■kid lend chcata, aad read the following preamble and reeolßtlona, whioh were adopted amid great applanM: Whereas, The National Convention of the De moeratle'party, duly and regularly convened, ao -oording to its time.bonored usages* did, on the 2za day or June, at the city of Baltimore, nominate SrßPßjht A. DouanAS, of Illinois, for President of the United States, and Hpbscbbl V. Johnson, of Georgia, for Vioe'President j and . _ , t .Whereas, The said Convention reidopted the expression of Democratic principles, known as tho Cincinnati Platform, whiob were approved by the moot *’ Unit*-’’ “ *n the Compromise the National i’’ jgnlar Convene m at Baltimore rinoiples. yet a from the said j than personal the majority of ' they ' l otoed -g dynasty whioh nnoeratio Conven 'ires from the loerajie party, ferts to the De - the integrity . nominations, justify their so mod all alletfi ind ate now in ty is now in to that when the immortal Jackson was its standard-bearer, it becomes tho duty of the honest, iaoorruptiblo masses of the Demooraoy to stand by .the.prinoi* pies and organization of the party, .its regular nowhmtfone/and.tiinetiionoreti flag, against open 'foes, designing, profligate, and vindictive enemies; and • Wh-ereas, The Democracy of the oity of Phila delphia having, ill-all the trials of the party, been faithful and true, that party being now assembled In council on its present condition, and to proclaim its opinion as to the dnty of ail Demoorats in tho oomfng contest, do heroby - - Resolve , That tho regular Demooratio National Oonvention having, according to the usages of the party, nominated for President of the United States Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, and Hereohel V. Johnson, of Georgia, for Vico President, it is the dnty of all. Democrats to maintain, support, and abide by its notion. • Resolved , That tho Demooraoy point, with plea sure, to the fact that bat four men oould be found in the Pennsylvania delegation to the National Convention 60 utterly regardless of the usages of the party, and the well-known wishes of their con stituents, as to secede from that body, and thus misrepresent the people, imperil the intogrl y of the party, and endanger the Union of the States. . Resolved, That the personal hostility of a few men to the regular nominee of the Democracy of the Union- aided by dironionists and haters,of the glorious Confederacy of sovereign States, aro not, and never oan be, eonstitaents of that great Domo oratio party whioh maintains that the, majority must rule, the Union shall be preserved, and free men govern themselves. Resolved the Democratic masses every where in the national election of 1856 proclaimed that non-intervention by one State with the affairs of another, Or by the Federal Government with tho people of the Territories, was the fundamental Demooratio doctrine. Resolved, That we can sever despair of the suo cesa of our party, beoause its principles, its history, its acts, ana its teachings, are ia conformity with the reat progress of the people and the perpetua tion of the Union. Resolved , That when the Congress of the Colo nies, led by Jeffersen, proolaimed the Interven tion by the British Government with the rights of froemon to be the oauso of the Revolution and In dopendeoco, they were opposed by the Colonial of floo-holdors and Tories. Now, this same principle of non-intervention is invoked by eeooders, Dis unionists, and Federal dictators, to sever the Ter ritories from their allegiance to this Confederation of sovereignties Resolved , That we oannot disoovor the differ ence between tho sectional Blaok Republican party of the North, and the seotional Disunion party of the South, on the present political issues before the • people. If Congress can intervene against slavery it oan intervene for slavery, and, in either oase, the rights of the people of the Territories are as mueh usurped and violated as when the British Government attempted to interfere with the free men of the thirteen colonies. Resolved, That the Demooraoy now assembled reaffirm the platform whioh the ttiato Convention of the Demooraoy adopted at Reading, and also those adopted by the National Conventions at Cin* oinnatii Charleston, and Baltimore. Resolved , That we adhere to regular nomina tions as the of anoient Demoora tio organization, and one whioh our repeated suo csss over our enemies has endeared to every sin cere and National Democrat .Resolved, That we will support with all our en ergy our regularly nominated candidate for Go vernor, Henry D. Foster, who has shown his de votion to the interests of the Demooraoy by his untiring efforts to secure the enactment by Con gress of laws for oar happiness, prosperity, and welfare. Resolved , That we appeal to the Demooraoy of Pennsylvania and the Union to hold up our flag, inscribed as it is, with the immortal names or Jefferson, the sage and statesman, and Jaokson, the old Hickory of the Demosraoy, the viotor over British intervention at New Orleans, and money intervention of the Bank of the United States; and we oall upon the great Demooratio party of these States, by the memory of its paßt trials and victo ries. to do battle for its candidates and its prin ciples. Resolved , That, inasmuch as there has been a failure to provide for the nsual meeting of the Demooraoy of this oity on the next anniversary of our Independence, and it is important that a usage so time-honored should be sustained, that when we adjourn it will be to meet at this pi&oe on the 4th of July next, at 9 o’olook A. M. At the conclusion of the reading, the hour being late, the meeting adjourned, with loud oheers for Douglas and Johnsen. MEETING AT THE SOUTHEASTERN STAND. Mr. Jambs M. Lsddt presided at this stand. After thanking his friends for the honor conferred, in selecting him as ohairman of the mooting, and stating the object for whioh tho meeting had been o&lled, whioh was to ratify the nomination of the regular Demooratio party, he introduced John K. Gamble, Esq., who was rccoivod with enthusiastic applause. SPEECH OF JOHN K. GAMBLE Mr. Gaublb was heart and son! for the regular nominees of the Demooratio party. He would ad dress his friends for a few moments, only, as thero were others who desired to address them upon the great questions whioh were agitating the oountry from oentre to oiroumferenoe. The Cincinnati platform had boon adopted-at Charleston, and be oause that platform was there rc-affirmed, certain Sentlemen ohose to seoede. Wbat did tbe majority o ? Did- they determine to press this matter on the minority ? No; they agreed to adjourn to Balti more to fill up their delegations. They met in that oity, and the Committee on Credentials re ported. After that committee reported, the Oon vention voted on tbe report, and the resolutions attaehed to it. Those very men who seceded at Charleston, seceded at Baltimore, because certain individuals were admitted whom they did not like. Stephen A. Douglas, reoelved on tbe first ballot, 170 J votes. [A voice “ Three cheers for Douglas,” and they were given with a will ] On the seoend ballot Mr. Douglas received a hundred and eighty Odd vatee. and then It was proposed to unanimously declare him tbe choice of tho Convention. Tbe Suestfon was put, and not a dissenting voice wax eard. To night we have met to ratify that Domi nation—the nominntion of the “Little Giant” of Illinois. [Greatcheering.! In a speeoh made on that occasion by the Hon. John L. Dawson, ohair man of the Pennsylvania delegation, notadissent ing voice was heard from any member composing it. [Cheers, j He pledged Pennsylvania for Dou glas; and this great congregation to-night is an earnest that it will bo fulfilled. [Prolonged oheerr iflg.] The thousands that are now here, and the thou sands that are ooming [an immense delegation from the Fourteenth ward here entered the south eastern gate], assure ns that Pennsylvania will ful filthe pledge of the ohairman, and that there will go up from this good old Commonwealth shouts of viotory for 6tepben A. Douglas, of Illinois, and Uersohel V. Johnson, of Alabama. [Obeers I It will be a sad and a sorry day for the Demooraoy, when the minority of any Convention shall be per mitted to control its action. I know it is not your Intention that it shall be so. It is anti-Demooratio; it is unjust; and tbe Demooraoy will allow nothin; of the kind. [Cheers, and a voioe, “That’s bo.” The Demooratio party is bound to stand by the reg ular nomination. • Ia regard te the negro question, about whioh there is so much talk, 1 would say a few words. One party says we must legislate in favor of tbe negro; another party says we mustlegislate against the negro Bat the aietrine of the Cincinnati platform Is, “Hands off l” let the question alone, It has already disturbed our proceedings too long. Let it be dropped by the party, and letit be kicked from the halls of Congress. The thousands who are now coming up to the support of Demooratio doctrines, of Demooratio principles, and of Demo cratic men, will, in November next, despite the agltatiens of the day, roll up a splendid majority for Douglas and Johnsen. [Great oheering J The young, the aotlye, theenergetio men; the rank and file, the boae and sinew ot the Demooratio party, are bound to sustain the regular nominees. They are for Douglas and Johnson, and for nobody else. [Prolonged cheering.) They have been too long ruled by those men who are not of the progressive school; by men who say, “Walt, stop; yon are overreaching yourselves" But the active, ener getio,progressive Demooraoy say “Goon;" and they will go on. [Three cheers for Douglas and the whole uoket.] I see before me tho faces of many of my old friends of the Fourteenth ward, who said, weeks and months ago, that they would sustain whoever might be nominated at Baltimore, and they are here to-night to fnlfil that pledge. They are here in their might, and in their strength and power; and \ tell yon, xny fellow oltlzens, that the power and enthusiasm of this meeting will be felt through out the whole Union, and when, by tbe wires of the electrio telegraph, tbe news shall go forth over the country, it will strike a chord in every national Democrat's heart, and will beat back responsively to pur course to-night. [Great cheering) fPEECII OF DR; KBYBER. The Chairman nc?t introduced Dr. Keyser, of Pittsburg, who said: Fellow-citizens op Pennsylvania: When I look over thU vaat crowd, X feel my heart respond to the Sentiment which I think burns in the bosom of every one in this immense assemblage; and whilst I admit that I, in common with other men, have felt uneasy hitherto for the fate of the great De mocratic party—when £ look upon thiameeung, lam almost led to believe that the .Democracy of Penn sylvania are again about to maroh onward, as they did in 1666, to a glorious and certain viotory, un der one of the most heroic, one of the most gallant, one of the most noble men, and one of the most self-sacrificing statesmen that over lived—l mean Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois. [Prolonged cheering J , , . ~ £ am unused to speak before assemblages so large as this; but it was my part, lu 1850, in the county of Allegheny, (where it js up-hill end un der clouds all the tipie) to sustain Mr. Huoh&nan and endeavor to give him the electoral vote of Pennsylvania. I believed then, that he was the most popnl&r man for the station; but things have ohanged since then, and we havo fallen upon strange times. Tho dootrino which placed Mr. Bu chanan in power seems to hayo been ohanged, sinoe his eleotlon. Mr. Douglas, who for twenty years has been an ardent Democrat, who has been the great Ajax of the Sonato House; and who led the Senate under the Administration of General Pierce, seems to havo grown obnoxious lately to certain individuals olaiming to be Democrats; and’ for what sin is ho opposed by these men, who do sire to throw the Government into the hands of the Opposition? [At thisiupoture a delegation of se veral hundred fiojn the Fifteenth ward entered the square, and were receiyed with, three tremendous ° Wtoitsin has Mr. Douglas oommlttea sgainst the Demooratlo party that he should bo so violently ouDosed, and that a second organisation should start up to defeat him ? In tha ward in which I reside, the first Douglas meeting was held after tha meeting of the Charleston Convention. He was endorsed by that meeting. He was, and Is, tho oholoe ef nine-tenths of the people of that locality. They wanted him for their standard-boaror but said, as I said, prior to tho meeting of the Con,, ventiop, whoever got the nomination would be their oholoe. They felt that they had a right to express their preferences for the man, who, in 1856, when sundry difficulties presentod themselves ; in the Democratic ranks, from the noblepeßS of his nature, telegraphed to the Convention, that, a? Mr. jjpobaJJan had a majority of the votes of that body, he would withdraw his name, unwilling to remain an obstacle to J-lr. Buchanan's euooess. - fAvoioe, he did it at Baltimore, too. I The gentleman is right. He did. Apd what, I ask 82*40 is the sin that he has oommitted against the Demooratlo party ? They say he opposed the Administration Wtfre fe°°mpton Constitution, go ho did;, and I should like to see the man who holds a single stone in his hand to throw at him on that .account.

But' whe ther Mr. Douglas will be the mas or not, ho is the rogular nominee of the Demooratio, party. Those who oppose him are outside of tb«f party. He is faithful, patriotio, and hoaalt; a true statesman, a man of unswerving fidelity to the Constitution, and a man of exalted patriotism; a man, too, who, in his own State, in over a hundred speeohes, beat old Abo Linooln, against the powers of the Adminis tration, and oleoted himself, by his' own prowess and courage, to the Senate of the United States. [Enthusiastic oheering.] Now, I say to the Oppo sition, “ Call off your dogs, and we will oall off tours ” Stephen A. Douglas is tho oholae of our people, and was, in solemn Convention, fairly and squarely nominated. [Three oheers for Douglas ] We would be traitors, now, if • after electing oar delegates to the Convention; after having gone there, and tho Southern delegates and our own had agreed to abide by the decision of tbe Convention, we shonld not sustain tho nominees to tbe utmost of our ability. The Opposition may defeat us. but lot the peril rest upon their own beads. Mr. Dou glas oan say, “ Shake not your gory looks at me.” He can say, “ I was tho regular nominee of the Convention, and I will not yield my claims for any man. lam the people's candidate—the Democra tic candidate, regularly nominated. " If the party is true to itself, he will be elected. The Opposition talk about seoosslon and the dissolution of the Union in case he is elected. But what are they going to do if eld Abo Linooln Bhonld get into the Presidential chair ? [Great sensation. ] lam for Douglas, and when I raise my band against tho Demooratio party I hope it may fall Eatsied by my side. [Cheers.] Forfifteen years I ave upheld the banner of Democracy, and while God gives me life, while I have a spark of patriot ism in my heart, whilst I co3t my eyes on yonder Hall, whore our forofathers met and signed the ohartors of our great liberties, Idara not be so falso to that oountry, to myself, to its glorious prospeots, and to its hopes of tho future, as to abandon tho organization whioh has aided moro than any other in outiding up Its greatness. SPEECH OF HON. E. 0. iIIRSUALL. Hon. E C. Marshall, of California, was r £ho noxt speaker. After surveying the immenseorof d for a few momonts, Mr. Marshall said; I have had some natural ourloslty to scoffer* Aho first time.in my life, the Domooraoy of Pbiladelnhia, and I will say that it is worth while to come all tho way from California to boo such an immenso concourse as Is assembled hero to night. What you sod here fo night is the expression of, the voioe of many thou sands of tbe voters of this oountry: [Applauso.] The same impulao that prompts jrou is rolling on like an avalanohe, accumulutibg In each revolu tion, by theinoressing.force of popofor millions, un til it will burst in November next, and consign to the tomb the corrupt Executive in Washington oity. I see on ono or your banners hero, the motto “The Union mast and shall be preservod”— “ Andrew Jaokson.” [Great applause j How are you going to preserve that Union, the benefits of whioh have been enjoyed by every, sooetion of it? If you march with the North as'arrayed against tho rights of the South, how can you hope to pre serve it; and if on the other hapd, yon array yourselves with the ultra Southern aeoesslonists, and I am from the South, how oan you expeot to pre serve that great system whioh rests safely only on the conservation of the rights of all parts of this Confederacy ? Self-government, popular soverignty, the regulation of looal questions by tbe people who live on tbe spot, is the only doctrine by whioh a freo oountry oan exist. [Tremendous oheors j £ contend this is tho most magnificent system of Government that the world has over seen. Why shonld we depart from this principle, then, so suc cessful in the States, and shrink from applying it to the Territories? By a mere rhetorical figuro of speeoh, men call Territories young States! I went to California in 1859, and there is no state that over was born younger than that was. She i 8 as young as they get them. [Laughter and applause.] Would you call that an infant State, where you found braver and stronger and more intelligent men than exist anywhere else in the world. The people of Cali fornia are men of the strongest and most resolute forms of manhood, and men nowhere stsnd so much like the image that God first made as the men of the Territories of this Union. When a very young man I was sent to Congress, and I have never found a more corrupt set of men tbanin that body. Ask Oovode about this, and he will tell you the same thing. The Congress of the United States, whioh is either Blaok Republican or Slave oodo, is, in either oase, against the people of the Territories. Do you want tbftn to rule our fathers, brothers, and sons on this Amerioan soil? I say that is not right, and you should say so, too. a had liked to have said that the father of this system of self-government for the Territories as well as for the States is Stephen A- Douglas—but he is not. That flootrinowas originated by God. Cass, several years beforo Mr. Douglas was spoken of, or thought of, for President of tbe United btates’ But bis mind, one of the most clear, active, and operative in the world, took hold of it i&Btantly, and followed it out with a heroism, energy, and in dustry unexampled in the history of mental orga nization. He has followed that dootrine from that day to this, sleepless at night, laborious in the day* timo, to defend the rights of ourselves and of our ropresontatives upon the frontiers of our country. [Applause ] He it is who, above all men, distin guished himself as the advocate of. this dootrlue, whioh alone con give peace and seonrity to this Government. But the Union mast bo preserved from the at taoks of the feecossioniste and Ditunio&ists of the South. This secession from the Demooratio party means to secede from the Union of these States. It is not a party fight that these men wage—it is not that they intend to put Breckinridge into the ohair over Douglas; but to dissolve tho Union. In view of the interests that we represent, however, what is BreokiD.ridge, or what is Douglas—great man as ho is—imperishable, continuous, eternal generations wait on our decision. Rights which are not oars to lose are to be preserved'for forthcoming ages, and it behooves ns all, as patriotio oitizons, to go forth to battle for the maintenance of our glo rious Union. [Great oheering J SPEECH OP F. A. YANOLEVE. Mr. Marshall was followed by F. A. Vamoleve, Esq., of Philadelphia. He was received with great applause, and said: Fell&w-citizehb of Philadelphia: I will not lie to you when I tell you, that this Is, to me, the proudest position that I oyer occupied in my short life With soenes like these around ns; with the waving of bannors, and beating of drums, tho firing of oannon, and the shouts of American freemen, my heart may well swell with pride, when I know the purpose for which this meet ing assembled. We are* assembled here to night as the friends of the nominee of tbe Demo cratic Convention, Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois. [Great oheering.] Gentlemen, this name may well arouse the sympathy of every now before me. There is no othpr name in the annals of American statesmen around whioh so many brilliant memo ries oting in beautiful profusion. This man, above all others, the moat proscribed, the most down trodden, tho most vilified, baa triumphed over enemies, oyer factions, and overdlsorganizers, and now stands before you in all the brllliauoy of his oareer. Gentlemen, it is for you. Demoorats of the oity of Philadelphia, to siy whether you will main tain the good Qpinion that the gen leman from Cali fornia (Mr. Marshall) has ooncpjvedfor Pniladel pbia Demoorats. Iconoeive that the ides of No vember will roil up an immense majority for Douglas and Johnson, the regular candidates for Prosidont and Vioe President of the United States. t Cheers.] I see before me a banner whioh has een referred to by tho gentleman from California, “The Union must and shall be preserved." Wo all remember the lips that uttered that sentiment, that man of iron will, that hero; that man for the crisis, let that crisis be wbat it might—Andrew Jaokson. [Cheers ] We have a second Andrew Jackson for President of tbe patted States. That man is Stephen A. Douglas. He possesses all tbe firmness, all tbe determination, all the reliability that Jacgson possessed Stephen A Douglasistbo Cicero of America. [Cheers ] Now, then, we have assembled not only for the purpose of electing: these gentlemen to their respective offices—for l oonoolve that to be a matter of certainty—but to take into ylew the responsibility whioh reßts upon us as Democrats —a responsibility greater than has pver rested upon the Democratic party from its earliest organization. It is torus to say whe ther Secessionist? shall rnlo. Surely we have reason to bo progd pf the position that our country now occupies among the nations of the globe. No oountry un the faoe of the earth presents such a speotaole of unparalleled progross as our own; and that progress has been due to the peculiar features of the GovermneiU under whioh we live. It is known that a vast majority of the Presidents Of tho United btates have been elected by the Demooratio Sarty, and that under Demooratio rule the oountry as prospered. Shall wo not now make a strenuous effort to seoure acontlnuanoo of this prosperity by electing still another pemoorat to tho offioe of pre sident? Now, when longer threatens* us, When clouds are gathering above us, shall we, as Ameri can patriots, thiQw aside all party considerations for the safto of our country, in the hour of danger, and allow faotloijists to rule ? No, nover! That is the word. Wo are bound by every consideration of patriotism to support the nominations of Donglas and Johnson, as the most reliable men for the country in hor present hour of danger. Como, then Demoorats, whether you be Administration or ahti-Adipintstratfon, Leoompton or anti-Le compton ; lay as)do all difference of opiuion, and !o union and harmony, [give thbso nominees Jour hearty support. [Cheers ] SPEECH OF HON. A. L. HERRON. Hon, Asdrew L. Herron, of Louisiana, was next introduced, amid great applause, ile said he had already once addressed the Democracy of this oity at the other stand, but attherequcstoffriepdl heoamethcro to say a few words. I came from Jjouisiana, and In the name of Ihe Demooraoy of that State, I greet Pennsylvania. [Three cheers for Louisiana.] J expend the right hand of fellow ship from the oxtremo Squth to tho greatoentre of this fJnlon, and I am proud to say that the plat form of the regular Democracy is ono upon whlohs every Democrat from the Aroostook to the Pacific ocean oan stand without sacrifice of principle, without saorlfioo of oonsolenoe. Wo stand upon the platform of the Demooraoy of 1850-2-4-6, and again reaffirmed at Charleston aud at Baltimore in 18Q0. [Applause j The platform that was good enough for James lluchanun tq cleoted npon in 1856 is oertalnly good enough for that great Intellectual giant of the West, btephon A. Douglas. [Cheers.] Portion arly whon the question now is an extreme slavery party in the South lighting against that platform, every true Demoorat of the country should sustain the principles therein laid down, and labor to per petuate tho Union of this glorious Confederacy. [Applause.j I am in favor of that platform,'and as a Southern man I am proud to say, without sao rifioing one jot or tittle of Southern rights undor the Constitution, the greatquestion involved is non intervention. L© fc tee people of the Territories ! settle their difficulties in their own way. Men in Pennsylvania do not care whether a new Territory has negroes or not—we in the South do not card Let them decide that question for themselves, just as they deolde every other question that refers to their doumptio happiness. By doing this you will remove from the Congressional halls this etornal agitation of the subject of sluvpry, which can do no good, and moy be prpductlvo of immense evil. X believe, and £ soy to yoq, that if Black at tains its object, and places Lincoln in the Executive chair, elects a Republican Congress, and repeals the fugltive-slavo law, abolishes the slavo trade, and prohibits the admission of any State into this Union with slavery, that the bonds which have conneotqd this Union Wijl be broken asunder, and all tho high hope’s we have eptortainod. in common with you, for tne perpetuity of this Union, will be lost and sunk forever. £ bolloye that, if clootefj, Abraham Lincoln will net be able to consummate hisiorw of o/fioo io a united Confederacy, for there will be those in tho South who will at onoo insist upon Hhe dissolution of a Union whioh they no longer can have any oonfideuoo in. If the Southern Secessionists and JMppniopfet* aro pitted in nuVPfi f bolleyo, from tho reverse posi tion! ihe-same lamonfablp stato of affairs would follow: so that We, Rational Democrats, standing upon the platform erected by our party according I to the Constitution—wo, the middle ippn, whp arp neither ultra Southern nor extreme Northern men, if wp cap parry out opr views, the glory of this • country and tho porpotuity of tbe Union will be preserved. Thero is no telling to what bounds tbe power of this country will extend Reaching almost to the-’North Pole, end, I believe, ulti mately, It will extend to'Cape Horn, tbe whole Western continent, powerful to-day to protoot it self, and to Insure respect from foreign nations, and to sustain the great principles of Demooraoy— the molt exuberant magician oould not pioture, for a moment, a more glorious prospect than this oountry will present, in a few years, if the truo Demooratio dootrine of allowing the people of every section to govern themselvesTs adhered to. Iris the dootrine incorporated with the Government, that the peoplo of every locality, whether North or South, shall settle its affairs according to Its own Ideas—lt is the original State-Rights dootrine. We are proud to take you Pennsylvanians by the hand, and say that we groat you on acoount of your ad vooaoy of St&to-Kfghts doctrines upon the soil of ; Pennsylvania; and before I conclude I say hers, from tbe bottom of my heart, that I believe that the electoral voto of tbe State of Louisiana will un doubtedly be cast in November next for Stephen A. Douglas. [Prolonged oheering ] BPEECH OF MB, BROOK. Charles W Bro«k, Eeq., of PhiladeV- bia, was tho next speaker. He said: Fellow Citizens : After the mijtiy able and eloquent addresses that have bee’', made to you this evonlng, I feel as though I be trespass ing upon your patlonoo if I ocoupted your attention for & very long time. When Isoe suoh a vast con course as this—hundreds from every ward, with their banners and tiaosparancios—ln honor of tho ratification of tho regular Demooratio nomina tions for Preeidont and Vico President of tho Untied States, I fed pr</ud to be a Philadelphian. I am glad, for yoursakoa, that we oan give such testimony, of what wtil inevitably bo tho rosnlt, to the' distinguished strangers who havo honored ua with thoir presonoo to-night. Possibly tho groatost issue is now beforo you and tho people of this oountry that has over boon raised in yoar experi ence. Tho question is whether open avowal of disunion sontiment— and not only disunion sontimont, but tho urging of disunion doctrines—shall be pormit tod by honest, Union-loving Americans. Tho plat form adopted by tho'Convention whioh met at Bal timore, being tho same platform that was adopted at Cincinnati, proclaims to you what tbo BentiiUent of ovory truo Amorloan should bo. We subserlbo to all that that platform contains; and all men who will not subscribo to It should bo regarded &s traitors, and denounced as unworthy of oonfidenoe. I was glad when I saw so many thousands hero to-night. There oan scarooly bo a doubt as to wbat the ooming election writ bo. With tho name of Douglas inscribed on our banner, with the giant of Illinois, and under tho btoßsing of Heaven, the giant of the Democratic party, we arc bound to bo aucoes3fal. Tbore oan bo no suoh word as fail. You have been told to-night, and I do not knew whe ther you bavo heard it before, that in Pennsylva nia you are likely to havo two Demooratio parties, at least one Demooratio party and one Custom House party. [Cheers.] I need not ask you to which party you beloog. I know by your enthu siasm, and by tho inscriptions upon your transpa rencies, that you aro sinoero and truo to tho good oause, and that you will enter tho field expeoting to win ; and do not be surprised if the other horse should be distanced in the raoo. [Cheers.] I think I have detained you,, my friends, long enough. [Cries of “No, no—go on.”] We mnst oomo up, in the coming contest, like brothers, and work—work is the thing—and tho success of our nominees is oertaiu. [Cheers.j MEETING AT THE SOUTHWESTERN STAND. At tho southwestern stand a meeting was organ ized by Win. McCandtoss, Esq , calling Wm. E. Lehman, Esq., to the chair. Mr. Lehman on taking the ohair was greeted with three cheers for “ the next Congressman from the First dlstriot." After the applauso had subsided be said : SPEECH OF W. E, LEHMAN, ESQ. Tbe appeal had been made to them, he said, in favor of the regular nominations of the Demooratio party, and it behooved all Demoorats, as they valued their character for steadfastness to the or ganization, for attachment to the glorious Union, to como up promptly to the support of the triod Demooratio leader, the heroof Illinois [Applause.] Would they support a nomination made by bolters —men who, when they oould not seoure their own ends by 6aorifioing tbe party and its prinolptes, left the Convention like coward traitors, and re fused to abide by tbe action of the majority ? We must listen to.no offers of dishonorable mise, [applause,] but must go straight forward in tbo line of duty, and snpport tho regulaf nominee of the Demooratio National Convention. At Cincinnati, Stephen A. Douglas received a large vote as tho Presidential candiaato; but when his competitor, James Buohanan, obtained a ma jority of votes, Mr. Douglas, seeking the harmony of the party, promptly sent a telegraphic despatoh withdrawing me name. How differently baa Mr. Douglas recently been treated by those who had formerly profited by his magnanimity ! That Cincinnati Convention adopted a platform of principles which the representatives of all the States then cordially endorsed as the true Demo oratio creed. Tho only sin that Stephen A. Dou glas haacommlttod is that bo bus remained true to that Cincinnati platform, while those who are now pursuing him with bitter rancor have broken their faith and violated their pledges. [Applause J That bogus party whose oblefs sit in the custom house may regard us as traitors. Yes. we aro suoh traitors as were assembled in yonder hall when tho Declaration of Independence was proclaimed. [Cbf ers ] Wo are the resurreotiODized spirit of old Jackson. [Applause.] The people ore aroused, and those who, by tbe people's permission, hold a brief lease of power, may well begin to tromble before the overwhelming might of men earnest in the assertion of their rights. That tyrant spirit whioh has attempted to rqle tfc° honest tnaspesof the Demooratio party, must speedily be orqshed; add it will be efieotu&lly crushed iyhen Btephon A- Douglas shall be triumphantly chosen President of the United States. [Leog-continued oheering.] SPEEOn OF JOHN O'DVRNE. Mr. John O’Byp.he was introduced, and mode an effective address. The presont emergoncy, he said, was one pregnant with momentous oonse quenooi. The question was whether they would base ly bow to a band of ollgarohs who seek to erect despotism in this land—whother they would be oome the slaves of a centralizing Administration, aiming to crush tho independent opinions of the free Democratic masses.'The question involved was not a more personal question with regard to Mr. Douglas or any other candidate; it was whether they would, at the bidding of a corrupt Administration, give up their right to say who shall sit in the nigh places of the Republio. This domineering spirit muse bo rebuked, and it oould only be done by tho eleotion of Stephen A. Dou-' glfljj, the truo type and symbol of the progressive, tho unterrified, tho liberty-loving Demooraoy of tho Union. [Enthusiastic cheers j The only danger to the liberties of a free people like ourselves, istbatwomay become self debased. Nations, whose Hborty and glory at one time soem ed os imperishable as ours, have sunk by slow de grees, and bare become the cringing slaves of a central power. Bat it is Impossible that such de gradation should ocour until tho people give up that independent spirit whioh should ever animate the hearts of freemon. Byron said that It was impossible Greece should bo enslaved, “ Till self abasement paved tbe wav For despot lords and villain sway.” Lota liberty loving spirit be oherished, and tho lordly oligarchs of Afabama and Mississippi are powerless to do us harm It la well (remarked tho speaker) to giyo vent to your enthusiasm In meetings suoh as this; it is well to come forth with your banners and your lanterns; it is well to huzza for your oandidnte and your principles. But there is other work to be done— sober, solemn work You must go among your frionds and neighbors seeking to win adherents to our cause; you must inspire tbelukewarm and con vince tbo doubting. This is tho way in whioh we oan most acceptably work for success You must propagate tho great principle of popular sovereign ty and non intervention. Tho Secessionists of tho South, while professing to bo the Simon-pure Demo cracy, are advocating precisely tho samo doctrine as tbo Republicans of the North—the supremacy of Congress over tho people of tho Territories. The great prinoiplo of tho right of the peoplo to govern theraselvoß mqst be boldly defended. This prin ciple is of greater acoount than the political for tunes ©f any man, no maltor whether Stephen A. Douglas, or any other. But Mr. Douglas is now the representative and embodiment of that princi ple, and by his election we are to vindio&to this | principle, and to rebuke a corrupt central power und its minions. [Loud applause] At tho conclusion of Mr. O’Byrno’s address there were loud oalls for “ Nebinger,” who, in response, oame forward, and was received with loud applause. SPEECH OF Dlt. 0. NEDINRqE Dr. 0. W. Nedingsh was introduced as the next speaker, and was reoeived with enthusiasm. lie said that when he heard that a mob in Baltimore had nominated John C. Breckinridge for the Pre sidency, he bad believed tbat Mr. Breckinridge loved this couotry and its institutions too well to accept the nomination of a mere mob, acting without any authority whatever, and swayed by the frenzy of the mome*t. That expectation had boon disappointed, and now Mr. Brookinridgc stood identified w}th Secessionists and Disuniflnista James Buchanan and his minions are at work endeavoring to destroy the integrity of the National Democratic party—tbopariy on whom depends the safety of the Amerioan Republic. From tbo oarly days of our Government until this moment, that organization has been laboring in defonoe of the rights of man. Stepion A. Douglas is to-day its standard-bearer—the national oandidate of the National Democratic party—and J do not doubt that tho people will rally round him ip their might, and place him in the Presidential ohalr. [Loud applause.] James Buchanan- and his tools are laboring to destroy the uemocratio organization, and to hand over tho Government, not to John C. Breokinrhlge, bat to the Blnrk Republicans. They would rathor tako euoh men to their bosoms than a true Dotqo- Icrat like Stephen A Douglas. This!* the spirit of the Administration—l will not oall it tho National Administration, for ever since tho inauguration of Mr. Buchanan’s Kansas policy it has ooased to be national. The Administration now seeks to subsi dize and debaso tho poopio with tho raonoy of tho Government AH sorts of frauds upon tho Trea sury have been oountounneed, in order tbat money might be raisod to pay tbo bloodhounds who have been oogaged in huntiog down the true men of tho Democratic parly. They talk of tho exposures of corruption made by tho Covode Committee. My frionds, I claim to - have boon engaged in battling tho corruptions of 1 the present Administration before John Oovodo's | committee was over thought of. Lot mo say that if, by the exposures of that committee, the Repub- I Bonus hope to inako capital against us, they will find themselves disappointed : for the National De mocracy, with Douglas at tnoir head, repudiate James Buchanan, with all his frauds and cor ruptions. We roiusp to carry such a load of sin upon our backs Tho speaker referred to tbo Federal tendencies evinced by Mr. Buohan&n in the eurly days of his political lifo, and remarked that It was not sur prising that tho man who desired to let out any drop of Democratic blood” that might flow in his veins, should now enlist jn a struggle against popu lar rights apd seek to go down to bis grave, cursed by tho poor man and the freeman—lauded by tho aristocrat and the monarchist. [Applause.] Stephen A. Douglas had, on the Kansas question, proved too much for Buohanan and his blood- j hounds, so he will prove too much for tho enemies - of Democracy in tho ooming contest. | Applause.] It had been said that the Douglas Demooraoy would be weak In this contest, because depriyed of tbo aid of Government officials and their moqey. Tho speaker rejoiced thqt Ibo party was i of this corrupting mean? of tli'oy must depend pn tho voluntoor contributions pfthp ! Epcpleptiot on the cooroed contributions of ofljoe olders apd «sce-seokers. They must rally lathi? ‘ coetost, forgetting that tho National Administra tion has fo bgstow, forgettipg all selfish objects, intent pnly qn defeating the tpral dom with which tfcoy aye threatened, apd on pre serving the only national party of the country. The election of November wilt witness tbo over* wholming defeat of tho Secessionist* of the South, as thoy navfo always been defeated heretofore. [Cheers,) f The speaker then proceeded to vindioate tho doc trine of popular sovereignty. Why must a free xn&u lose his right of self government by removing to a Torrlwry ? What power la there superior to the people? la it Congress? No; Congress is merely thy oroaturo of the poople. The people are not to bo deprived of tbelr rights by their creature. In a Territory, as well as In a State, those rights most be aroorded to them. When James Buchanan attempted to violate the rights of the people of Kane*-, Stephen A. Douglas nobly stood np as thel- champion. [Loud obeors] May ho live to seethe people triumphant! May he live to see tb j enemies of the Union vanquished and disgraced! Let the eleotion of Stephen A. Douglas show that, . whenever a statesman dare boldly battle for popu lar rights, the people will sustain him, spite of all tho seduotions and corruptions of power. [Long continued appiauso.] SPEECH OP JOSHUA T. OWSW, ESQ. Joshua T. Owen, Esq., waa the next speaker. He began by referring to General Jaokson’a tri umphant oonflict with King Cauous. In 1824, when politicians failed to reoognUo the popular choice, that old hero, scorning the arts of polltioal triok* sters, boldly placed himself before the people, an i succeeded in obtaining at the eleotion a popular majority. But, In oonsequence of the multiplicity of candidates, the election went into the House of Representatives, and the people were cheated of their ohoice. In 1823 the oonfliot was renewed; and, this time, King Caucus was powerless to de feat him. Ho triumphed In 1828, as he did again in 1832. We havo, to-day, a statesman of Illinois, oosupy ing a position oloseljr analogous to that .osoupied by General Jaokßon at the period I have named / Ho is a man possessing the same unflinching oonrage, enjoying tho same popular eonfldenoe, entertaining tho same dotormlnca hatred of combi natlens and faotions to defeat the rights of the Seoplo. Ho is opposed by the politicians, as was aoksoo, because inoy know him to be a man of iron-will, who will not yield to diotatlon from any quarter—a man who oannot bo mauipulated by Eolltioal managers. His political oourse is marked y uniform consistency. Tho samo doctrines whioh ho advocated in 1850, and wbioh wero Incor- E orated in tho Compromise moasuros of that year, o advocates to-day The consistency and na tionality of his principles must, iu tho end, be ap parent, oven to those who are now opposing him ; thoy will come book to the ranks, and uphold the banner of tho united Democracy. The spoaker dosed by exhorting his hearers to labor for tho triumphant election of Douglas, as tho only means of securing the perpetuity of the party, and tho prosperity of the country. The chairman then announced that Mr. Douglas had arrived at tho Girard House, and the meet ing, with varioua manifestations of enthusiasm, ad journed to attond tho serenade to the distinguished Champion pf Popular Sovereignty. INCIDENTS OF THE DEMONSTRATION. There wero the usual number of exolting scenes and incidents attending the demonstration, al though we have never seen a greater amount of enthusiasm manifested at any publio and political gathering. The Keystone Club escorted the So cond, Third, and Fourth wards, ail of them ing banners, mottoes, transparencies, and torches. On the transparencies were suoh mottoes os these: “The Union and Constitution forever;” “Second ward good for 600 majority; “Non-intervention;•» “Third ward always reliable;” “Trueto regular nominations;” “The Union must and shall bo preserved;” “ Fourth ward supports regular noml nations;” “Tho Union as it is;” “Victory is sure;” “Fourth ward the Gibraltar rook of Do . mooraey.” Accompanying this procession was Folyard Degan and his oannon, whioh was dis ; charged at intervals along the/ route and in the squaro during the meeting. The “National Club” turned out very strong under the lead of Wm. F. Bcheible, marshal. Among the banners was one whioh was exhibited at the Baltimore Convention, bearing the words “ Pennsylvania good for 40,000 majority.” The “Douglas and Johnson Club” of the 13th ward, to tho cumber of 200 1 came into the square under the lead of Albert Lawrence, marshal. Among the Inscriptions on the banners was this: “ The real unterrified Pomooraoy not to be driven Into the support of bogus oandidates by tyrants in office.” The Democratic Club of the 14th ward was very strongly represented, and oarrtad suoh inscriptions as “ The nomination of Stephon A. Donglaß will gratify nine-tenths of the Demooraoy of Pennsyl vania;” “Douglas isouroboloe “The Keystone State will keep the Arch firm;” “ Hu are for regu lar nominations, and opposod to* Seoessionists and Bolters ” Among tho balanoe of the wards represented, we noticed particularly the Fifteenth and Seventeenth. The lat|or ward bore inscriptions suoh as “The Banner Ward,” “The Union must be Preserved.” The Fifteenth ward had the following stanza upon pqe of its banners; FIFTEENTH WARD, AWAKE 1 The South shall h*ve her rights—o’er her Our eagle »p ends Its wing; lhe treason plotters, drown or White, Shall on the gallows swing, SERENADE TO JUDGE DOUGLAS. Prior to the adjournment of the meeting, it was announced from the different stands that Senator Douglas had Jast arrived in the olty, from Wash ington, and was stopping at the Girard House. Tho announcement had soarcely been made when the Keystone Club, marshalled by Mr. Wm. By crly, and aooumpanied by a fine band of musio, proceoded to tho hotel. Iu a short time, the meeting having adjourned, the Club was swelled to the number of thousands by the addition of the various delegations, and by about eleven o’clock Chestnut street, from Eighth to Ninth, was perfeotly jammed with the admirers of the distinguished Senator. Tho utmost enthusiasm prevailed, and it was some time before the Hon. Charles Brown, who performed the part of chair man, could command sufficient ordor to introduce Mr. Douglas, who had been vociferously cheered and called for on all sides. At length, after many earnest appeals, and a great deal of persuasion, the excitement in a measnre subsided, when Judge Douglas made bis appearance on the balcony of the first floor. 110 waa received with oheer after cheer, and, when order was finally restored, spoke as followe: SPEECH OF SENATOR DOUGLAS. Fbllow-citizeks of Philadblpuia : It seems as if you are determined to overwhelm mo with your kindness whenever I enter your beautiful oity. The most magnlfioent reooption I have ever seen extended to any manlreonived at your hands less than two years since, upon my entry inio your oity. To nig 1 1 supposed I was coming to enter your city quietly, and to retire to sleep without meeting with any masses of my fellow-citizens But when I find suoh a demonstration as this, so imposing in numbers, and in everything that adds ; force to it, I cannot refrain from making my ap- Eearanoe, not for the purpose of making a speech, ut to express my profound gratitude for the com pliment you have paid me. (Cheers.] 1 have no political speeches to make during the pending canvass If my political opinions are not well known to the people of tho United Slates, it is not worth whilo for me to spend timo to explain them. [Cheers j It now remains for the people to take the matter into their own bands, and to make such decision of the great Issues before the oountry as will preserve the Constitution inviolate, as the surest and only means of perpetuating this glorious Union [Oheers.j Pennsylvania has a mighty interest in the pre servation of this Repubho. She, from her geo* grapbioal position, is bound to remain as she be gan, the keystone of (he arch of the Federal Union. 1 cheers.] Pennsylvania has the elements of an empire within her own limits—all the elements of greatness, whether you look atheragrioulturo, at her commeroe, at her manufactures, at her raw material, at her mioeral wealth—everything, In deed, which contributes to make a great coantry powerful, la to bo found within the borders of the Keystone State; and in my opinion the people of Pennsylvania havo come to the conclusion that tho Congress of the United Mates can be better em ployed in developing the groat material resources of the country, than by wasting time In loroiDg slavery or ami-slavery upon the people. [lmmense cheering ] The Constitution of the United States has confer red upon the Federal Government certain powers and dados which they ought to perform Let that Federal Government bo confiaod striotly- within the narrow sphere of Federal duties, leaving the people of the States and of the Territories free to govern themselves, without any dictation from Federal officers (Tremendous cheers.] My friends, I said that I had no political speech to make; and I will not pormit the temptation ot this vaat and enthusiastic crowd, by their repented cheers and oomplimenta, to induoe me for amoment to violato that resolve. Thereforo, I bid you an affeoiionato good night. (Enthusiastic and long continued applause'] At tho conclusion of his speeoh, Judge Douglas retired amidst the most enthusiastic oheers Three times three and a “ bully tiger,” for Douglas and the whole Democratic ticket, concluded the pro ooedings, and the vast assemblage dispersed. MOVEMENTS of JUDQB DOUGLAS It was announced in the Suuday papers that Judge Douglas would remain in the oity during to day, to reoeivo the visits and congratulations ot Ms frionds; and this, we beliero, was his original in tention ; hut, ha ring been suddenly oalled to New York, ho departed for that oily in the 5 o’clock train yesterday. Of oourso, tho announcement was unintentionally inoorreot. L3F* The Board of Public Sobool Controllers will be organized this morning.

The New 6, We surrender the oolumns of our journal to-day to a complete and grapbio roport of the imposing demonstration of the Demooraoy on Saturday eve ning In Independence Squaro. Barely, if ever, in ail our newspaper experience, have we witnessed sooh an uprising and outpouring of the masses to do honor to any man, or the creed of any man. Without the usual accompaniments of political gatherings, without the busy notes of preparation, extravagant announcements, or extended adverti sing, it was a simple, hlarty, and heartfelt ovation to the regular nominees of the Democratic organi sation, and a sublime endorsement of the glorious principle which Stephen A. Douglas personifies. Tho darling infant of Benicia—in whose manly arms tho Amerioan eagle, talons, feathers, beak, and all, has been nestling for the past few months —did not arrive at New York by the Adriatio, and all Now York is disconsolate. The Councilmen, with their lemon kids, must content themselves with plain rye orXX, tor the munloipal wines will only come forth on the Bdnicia’a arrival. It is said that the B. B. ii detained aoross the Atlantic by reason of a prior engagement with a gallant son of Eng land, known as “ The Staleybridge Chicken,” and that, until the Eaglehas vanquished the Fowl, Ame rica must continue to mourn the absence of her gallant Boy, and his trophy, the Belt. Three days’ later advices from Europe come tojo* by the Adriatio, whioh arrlvod at New York yes terday morning. 6be brings 190 passengers, 600 tons cargo, and reports a succession of unruly westerly winds since she left Havre and Cowes. Among her passengers are M. Henry Maroier, new Frenoh ambassador to Washington, and family; H. De V. Glenhoorsh, our consul at Borne, who comes, home the bearor of despatches. The enlistment of the Irish peasantry in the servioojcf the Pope had exoited comment in Parliament. Means will be taken for its suppression. The Lords bad defeated the Church rates aboli tion bill on tbo second reading by a large majority. An extensive conflagration is reported as having consumed £25,000 of property in the town of Hull on the 15th. Napoleon was still enjoying the hos pitalities of the Duke of Baden, and with his suito was boing extensively dined. In his interview with tbo Prussian Prinoe Regent, he is reported to have given utterance to sentiments o! the most petoeful character. Garibaldi was still in Sicily annoying, with his eccentricities, the good King Bomba. The King was marshaling bis forces for the pur pose of orushing the intrepid Italian. France had refused to Interfere, although eight Frenoh and two English men-of-war were lu the Bay of Na p Us. It was expeotod that a SioUian Parliament would soon assemble for the purpose of severing their allegiance to the Bourbons, and uniting their kingdom to that of Victor Emmanuel. Switzerland was protesting against France annexing Upper Savoy. The Neapolitans had captured two steam ers, bearing Sardinian and Amerioan flags, and laden with ammunition, oannon, muskets, and speoie. Eight hundred armed passengers were t«ken prisoners to Gaeta. Napoleon was warning the Parisian press against publishing an inflam matory speech by Victor Hugo. We have terrible tidings from Tarkey of thirty-six villages being burnt at Mount Lebanon, and a corresponding massaore of people by the Druses. Masiini had not gone to Sicily. The Japanese Embassy left New York Saturday, in the Niagara, and by this time are rolling about on the salt, salt sea! We trust these tawny princes will carry baok with them to Japan good impres sions of our country and its p ople. It is much to be regretted that they did not go ifireotly homo from Philadelphia; for, with New York and Its rowdy aldermen, its mammoth folly of a ball, where jobbers made money and the Ambassadors were overwhelmed with a rabble ot roughs; where sharp showmen exhibited them at so much a head, and everybody generally “ made It pay,” we fear the good impressions they gained while among ns are obliterated. However, we hope for the best, and sincerely wish these gentlemen from Japan a pleasant visit to their beloved Nipbon, and as cordial reception on their arrival home as they 4 eceived in the land of the stranger. Three steamships—the Illinois, City of Wash ington, and Hammonla—sailed from New York on Saturday, for Southampton end Havre, Liverpool, and Southampton and Hamburg, respectively. Tho Illinois took out 147 passengers and $997 503 In specie; the City of Washington 300 passengers and $822,700 in specie, and tho Hammonia, 137 pas sengers and 300,000 in specie; making a total of 584 passengers,'and $1,920,203 in spocie. New York is preparing to oelebrate tho oomlog anniversary in the usual style. Fireworks, flags, ringing of bolls, champagne for the alderman, and heavy bills to pay. By the arrival of the overland mall, we have dates from San Francisco to the 9th instant. We are told that trade has been steady for the past week. There is an luoreased demand for some de scriptions of goods. Provisions are unchanged, but firmer. Coffee is unchanged. Coal is inac tive. In rice there is an improvement. Baw su gars are hoary; refined is a little more active at last quotations. There has been a slight improve ment in general business, but the demand for goods Is still limited. We are to hare another edition of the Sanborn exoitement. We learn from Boston that the Grand Jury of Middlesex county have returned bills of indiotmont against Silas Carleton and tbreo other United States deputy marshals, for attempting to arrest F B. Sanborn, on tho rtqe.isidon of the Brown raid Senatecommittee. No time is assigned for the trial Tho New Yorkers are gaping at the Great East ern—the journals wrlto long leaders about the Bar nacles on her keel—while the doUar-men are figur ing oat how she will be made to pay. bbe will be openod on Tuesday to the public—admittance one dollar, children half prioe Archbishop Hughes was oonduoted through it on Saturday. The work men are now engaged in painting her up for the iospcotlon of euoh of the public as can realize a duller. Tbo Shadow of Death seems to haunt the Great Eastern, as two men have already been acci dentally killed since she anchored at her present station. In New York, on Saturday, there were three fires, consuming $47,000 worth of property. There was a tornado at Staten Island, Friday afternoon, the efFcot of which was partly felt in Philadelphia. The Boston journals come to us lamenting the ravages of a very.eevere storm whieh visited the “ hub of oreation ” on Monday. After enume rating a great variety of accidents, to men and property, the Boston Atlas itemizes a special cau?o of grief in this mannor: “But the chief and sadd&t loss is the destruction of the grand old elm—whicti for many years has been the promi nent feature of our beautiful Common Many of our readers, now gray with age, will, as they read this paragraph, recall the pleasant associations of childhood’s happy hours beneath the shade of tbat hoble old tree, What a chapter of events it might recall if gifted with speech ! But its greatness has departed, its beauty destroyed. J. R. Barrott, who was ousted from his seat (in the HO.uao of Representatives, by Frank Blair, was the recipient ot a publio ovation at St. Louis, on Friday evening. A' Douglas ratification meeting will be held at tho C&wdon Court House, this evening, at 8 o'olook. Messrs. Lewis C. Cassidy, Daniel Dougherty, A. W. Nash, Hon. Ohaa. Skelton, Jas. M Scovel, Hon.

Hamilton, are present. .■‘t NepTot Pennsylvania * Rlilroad.—On and after*to-day, there will be a change in the starting of the trains on the road, the particulars of whloh will be found in our adverting columns. * The Great Meeting. Having given the fullest ppeoUl report of the first great J&epublican (or People's) meet ing in this city, we have gone to. great ex pense to make a completa_xeport of the monster Douglas meeting held at Indepen dence Square last Saturday -evening.'The speeches have been reported by our staff of pbongraphJc reporters, and subsequently gen erally supervised by the speakers themselves, and appear exclusively in The Pa jess. The demonstration was imposing beyond de scription—the officers among the oldest and most orthodox of the Democracy, and the orators gentlemen of admitted eminence and eloquence. They havB spread before the people an amount of argument and invo cation that cannot fail to create a profound impression, and to famish food for thought to thousands. The speeches of the Southern gentlemen are especially pointed and bold, and that of Hon. A. C. Dodge, of lowa, sin gularly frank and characteristic of the man. No citizen can read these proceedings without being gratified at the courage and manliness of all who took part in it. The spirit mani fested was war to the knife upon the Dlsunflon ists, and no compromise with the Seceders, their apologists, or their backers. A House of Correction, The project of establishing in Philadelphia a House of Correction, which has frequently been warmly discussed, and in the midst pf the agitation in reference to it suddenly aban doned, seems now about to be realized, at a time when litrio attention is being paid to the subject by the public generally. Daring the session of tho last State Legislature an act was very qnletly passed which authorized the es tablishment of such an institution. Profiting by the deplorable experience which 'the his tory of onr Almshouse, under the old guar dians, furnished, the Legislature wisely pro vided for a judicious Board of Managers, and the system of appointment it adopted for this purpose appears to have been fully successful, as will be seen from the li3t published some days ago in The Press, as follows: Br the Court gf Quarter Skssioxs —Charles J Biddle, George N. Tatbam, Charles Thompson Jones, Joseph Harrison, Jr. By the District Court —Peter A. Keyser, Robert Ewing, Alexander J. Derbyshire, Jacob P. Jones. By tub Mayor of Philadelphia —William Welsh*, John M. Ogden, Joseph O. Grubb, James J. Barclay These gentlemen will meet to day at the County Court House to organize, by electing a President and Treasurer, to decide upon their respective terms of office, and to make such other arrangements as are necessary prelimi nary steps to a proper discharge of the Im portant duty which has been confided to them. For reasons which do not clearly appear, there has been much less interest felt in thi* subject, and less knowledge in regard to it spread before the public, than its importance demands. But the high character of tho Board of Managers selected will do much to secure general confidence in the wisdom of their action, and to engender the belief that they wili be animated in the discharge of .their duties solely by disinterested, humane, and noble motives, having no other ends to serve than the promotion of the general welfare of our beautiful city, and the creation of addi tional facilities lor tempering justice with mercy, in our treatment of many of the mis guided or unfortunate beings who, for minor offences, fall under ihe ban of our laws. The fact constantly stares us in the face, that our prison and almshouse are full to overflowing, and that their limited accommo dations are tar from being sufficient to meet the new demands, engendered by the increase of crime and pauperism in questionable shapes, which inevitably results from our rapidly in creasing population. No American city, and perhaps no city in the world has been more progressive in all that appertains to the science of municipal govern ment, and to the proper solution of the social problems which vitally affect the health, com fort, and general welfare of city populationthan Philadelphia, and if the samo spirit of benevo lence and wisdom which has rendered her justly celebrated lor her many charitable insti tutions, her improved prison discipline, her well-ordered government, and the superior condition of the masses of her inhsbitants, is exercised in tho establishment and manage ment of a new House of Correction, it may prove to he an extremely useful institution. , Statistical reports have repeatedly demon strated, not only that out prison and alms house are too small to furnish a refuge for all who, under our present system, should be con signed to one of those institutions, but that the general welfare, as well as that of the'indi viduals directly concerned, would be greatly promoted in many cases, if another refage, somewhat different in character from our pre sent receptacles for criminals and paupers, were opened. A wide field for philanthropic investigation, as well as for research into the practical ques tion how we can best dispose of a large and constantly.incrcasing class who have an irre sistible proclivity to become pests or burdens of society, will open up before the newly constituted Board of Managers. They will de serve tho gratitude of onr citizens and gain •he approval ot their own consciences if they will bo perform their duty that a new institution shall arise among us which will really prove a house of correction, and substitute useful and industrious habits for idle and vicious ones—which will impart new vigor and efficacy to the operations of the laws instituted for the protection of s ;ciety and the punishment and imprisonment of transgressors, and which will combine with the support extended to reckless indigence measures for the improvement of such pau pers as are susceptible of it.

It will be seen that the Administration, in its anticipation of tho Disunion movement at Baltimore, and now in full blast, secured a number of their'dependents upon this Committee, who will, ‘n.o v doubt, attempt to convert it into a machine, to help the Secessionists. Their last game is to induce the Douglas Democrats to agree to a combined electoral ticket. Against this pusillanimous and shameless policy, the resolution of the Democratic National Com. mittee, and all the friends of Douqlab, in cluding that gallant leader himself, unhesita tingly protest. They demand clear decks, a bold fight, and no masked batteries. They wont to meet the Disunionista face to face be fore the people, and will neither ask nor girt quarter.
