L
TION-ONE DESTINY"
Mr.. Chairman, and Fello,c Citizens:
1t would be idle in me TO affect to be indif.
ferent to the circumstances under which have
now the honor OF addressing you.
| find myself in the commercial metropolis
Of the continent, In the midst OF a vast assem-
bly, Of intelligent men, drawn from all the class
CO, professions, and pursuits OF life.
And you have been pleased, gentlemen, to
meet me, in this imposing manner, and 10 Of
fer me a warm and cordial welcome TO your
city, | thank you'll feel the full force and
importance Of this manifestation Of your re-
gard. In the highly hauering resolutions
which invited me here, in the responsibility of
this vast multitude oil my fellow citizens, and
in the appreciation and hearty coed will which
you have here manifested, feel cause for pro-.
found and grateful acknowled9 ment.
To every individual of this meeting, there
fore, l would now, most respectfully, make
that acknowledgement; and with every one, as
if with hands joined in mutual greeting, | re-
ciprocate friendly salutation, respect, and good
wishes.
But, gentlemen, although | am well assured
of your personal regard, cannot fail TO know
that the times, the political and commercial
condition OF things which exist among us, and
an intelligent spirit, awakened 10 new activity
and new degree of anxiety, have mainly con-
trlbuted 10 fill these avenues and crowd these
halls. AT monclt of difficulty, and alarm,
you come here, as Wings of New York, to
meet one whom you suppose 10 be bound 10
you by common principles, and common senti.
nents, and pursuing, with you, common OBJ
ject. Gentlemen ] mn proud 10 admit this
community OF our principles, and this identity
OF our object. You are for the Constitution Of
the country; SO am !. You are for the Union
OF the States; so am l. You are for equal
laws, tor the equal rights of all men, for con-
stitutional and Just restraints on power, FOR the
substance and not the shadowy image only OF
popular institutions, tor u government which
has liberty for ITS spirit and soul, as well as in
lis forms; and so am J. Oh feel, that II in
warm parry times, the Executive Power is in
hands distinguished for holiness, iorgreat sus-
cess, Tor perseverance, and other qualIIes
which strike mems minds strongly, there is
danger OF arrangement OF the powers OF gov
erhmeh', danger OF new division OF those
powers IN "nich inc Executive Is hKeiy 10 Oh :

sentinels, against any encroachments from the
Executive, seek, rather, support from It's pat
