James Page, Esq. opened the meeting with q
very Good speech, considering the subject-out
he forgot his usual nrbanity in speaking. against
the bank, and the bill for rechartering H. wnsh
the chairman himself had been an advocate ,or
that bill; and there was present Mr.. Dallas .ae
father of the bill-who voted for 1t even a'er TUG
President had put his peto to it. MS ho"e'
yer, was overlooked.
The Hon. George NJ. Dallas, in answer 10 .
call, then addressed the meeting. lie spoke Oh
the treaties which Gen. Jackson had made LOT the
benefit of his country; he enumerated mat WIN
France and that with Denmark. The meeting
probably was not aware that the negotiation WIN
Denmark was not part Of Gen. Jackson's !, Ia,
bors for the public good. Time, we believe dio
not allow the speaker, in enumerating tne oene-
fits of foreign missions and treaties resulting from
Gen. Jackson's labors, to refer to the !" west T
India trade'' treaty, nor that famous mission Oh
MIR. Randolph to Russia. Mr.. d. spoke OF the
home advantages of the present administrator.
Nothing was said of the veto. Mr.. l'al'as spoke
in strong terms of disapprohation OF the propo-
sition of coalition against Gen. jackson. we
believe proposition of a coalition IN ldoor Oh
Gen. Jackson, was made in the same place. ny
the same gentleman, some few years since.
MIR. D. is iavourite with his party, and Just
ly his fine voice, his happy hits, his sood appear
ance, all make him popular speaker.
We ought to have stated, that Mr.. Dal'as
complmented highly the present cabnet-esery
member of which. we believe. is Federa'iS''-
That was very generous on his part.
A call was made for Mr.. Lausatt; but before
he rose. Mr.. BENJAMIN Phillips, Of Southwark
came forward. Mr.. Phillips is known to our ci'
trzeus, as a great frequenter of public meeting;
his speech was, however, one Of the best we ever
heard hin, make.
Mr. Charles ]. Ingersoll, then came forward.
Mr. I. was evidently laboring under indisposi'
ton; from his looks and the feebleness Of his
voice we should saw serious ndisposltion. We
could not hear all he said; il was not against the
Bank, but for General Jackson, whose friend
and admirer Mr.. /. professed to have been for
nearly twenty years. (Mr. lngersoll was dis
trict attorney under Mr.. Adams.) Mr.. l. con-
cluded his speech with proposals Tor ''three cheers
to General Jackson, and to go home" The
cheers were given, but the people did not 60
home.
MIR. Lausatt addressed the meeting with his
usual happy flow of language. making, as we
thought, fealty to General Jackson OF more i'm
portance than attachment to principles.
Mr.. f. C. Watmough prefaced resolution
with some remarks upon the necessity OF union
in the party. The resolution went to pledge the
meeting to throw aside state attachments and go
for the party.
Is Mr.. Hakins to be given up?
An individual called for Mr.. Rice, who
came forward, as we thought, at the expense OF
modesty. and closed some observation with an as
sertion that he was delegated bv the Irishmen
to say that they would vote for GIN. Jackson!'
We Joined with most of the Jackson men whom
we saw, in opinion that Mr. Rice should nave
remained silent when such questions were under
discussion before the people.
The meeting adjourned in harmony about half
past 6 o'clock.-U s. Gezete.
