In the afternoon ahe public exercises in the church were as usual mostly of interesting and impressive char acter. Addresses delivered to the meeting by William Smith, Esq., of sharon, Rev. Mir. LalhrOp of Salisbury, Rev. Mir. Hart of Plymouth, and Rev. Mir. Ludlow of New York, q delegate from the American Beard. The three former were very pertinent and appropriate; butfhe latter contained such ideas and sentiments, and was delivered in such manner, as We--and we believe may say the whole of the en- ligbtened christian community who heard it-never desire to hear again from the lips of any man, much less from minister of the blessed gospel.

 1 In accordance with the request of some of our readers. we have this day given nearly the whole of ahe speech oi Mir. Pondexter, of Mississippi, giving his reasons for voting against the nomination of Mr. Van Buren. As Mir. F. was original Jackson man, and still continues with the party, this speech will presume be rich to that class of readers.
 We have also given, on first page, extracts from Mir. Haynes speech, which has been some time an hani We may hereafter furnish some further ex- tracis. Mir. H. is among inc most able and amiabe men ia the Senate; and this speech bears many marks ofa friendly feeling.
 Meetings have been held at Albany and Philalel- phia to abuse the United States Senate for rejecting she nomination of Mr. Van Buren. Both were ate tended by all the ofice-holders in the city and lutions passed sympa,hxing with the Martyr.

States Esr tho exercise of the constitutional right to advise ahe President the subjec, of his arpontmen,s.''- The meeting was held on Tuesday evening at the Ma sonic Hall, and attended by an immense conoourse of people-was Ia,ger and more respectable than any which has been held for many years Alderman Peter Sharpe presided, assisted by Wm. w. Todd and Ja- cob Drake as Vice Presidents, and o. L. Hoey and Wm.S. Johnson acted as Secretaries. Sundry very spirited speeches were made, and several resolutions passed. The meeting had no idea that worthy body of men as the present U. S. Senate should be denounced by set of ofice-heiders and demago gucs without isng their voice against such proceeding, and vndicating ny their sentiments the character of the Senate. Among the resolutons passed were the EOllOwing:-
 Resoiued, That in the opinion of this meeting, the Senate of the Unted States independen ni and CO., ordinate branch or the Federal Government was de- sgnedly and wisely vested with the right of asss ning to, dissenting from the nominations of the Presi dent, and that this power given that body, as substantial power, to be exercised in order that the interests and honor of the country might not be en- dangered by the iRdscreion error of an individual temporarily invested with executive authority and this meeting most earnestly reprobae the doctrine that would degrade the American Senate to body assem- bied merely Q register the edcts of any chief magis traie.
 Resoiped, That we recognize among those who vo- ted for the rejection of Marin Van Buren, the distinguished Statesmen and Representatives of the different sections Of the Union and that in the opn SoUOf this meeting, they are responsible mainly to ther own constituents for the exercise of their pow ars the Representatives of the several States and shat while we acknowledge the right of the people, freely 10 assemble express their opinions the 0f any branch of the government we consider as an tadscreet exercise of that right the late meeting call ed in this city to denounce the Senators States or the independent exercise of the constitutional thoriy.
