verge of that same Boston port, which 20
years ago associated the tea plant with the Il
name OF liberty. Passing by these thrilling
recolleciions, ] can scarcely he less excited
by the idea TINT am addressing so large an
nssemblage of the respectable citizens oi this
place.
Passing TO the considerations of the lead
ing political questions of the day, MIR. Is.
launched forth into rapid but eloquent sur
vey of the abuses of the administrations
Could it be believed. he asked, that n policy
could have been deliberately formed and ma

ed land? But had not the decree gone forth
perish credit perish commerce down
with the credit systen!'-and had it not be en-
persisted in even to the present hour, by the
proligate relation to the sub treasury system
he remarked-yoH az know what that means
its paternity is written on its FACET is the
well known progeny Of the spoils system-a
system to aggrandze the Office holders and
their adherents
Touching upon the new humbng of the 'di-
vorce of bank and state Mr.. b. proceeded in
a fine strain of sarcasm to ridicue the incon-
sistency of the administration. The Office
holders had filed bill Of divorce Of bank and
state; asking that the public money might be
confded to them for safe kccping-but the
people had now come forward demanding
that the government might be divorced from
the office holders. The people charge these
men with having violated and maltreated the
constitution and the government in the most
shameful and indecent manner, and to crafty
the basest and most sordid desires. What.
asked Mr.. b. will be the result Of this trial?
Has false clamor been raised against these
office holders or are the charges true? True!
true! exclaimed thousand voicesD Guilty
or not guilty? Guilty! guilty! burst forth in
sound like thunder from the immense con-
gregatioD.) "Mr. Chairman, ] am not int-
matcly acquainted with your particular forms,
but il seems to me this is vote. Let sem
tence Of eternal separation be issued against
them! (Fumultuous cheering ensued on this
annonncement)
Touching upon the outrageous specie ex-
actions of the administration, Mr.. B. remark.
ed that the Office holders, the eternal office
holders were here found to be the only peo-
pie benefited by them. Some Of the most
meritorious creditors of The government, the
revolutionary pensioners and the honest la.
borers upon the public works, had been hab-
tually put off with deprecated paper. These
holders and the people, show the extent to
in expressing free people.
In closing his animated remarks to- which
it is impossible to do justice in brief and
hasty sketch,-Mr. Bell said that he came
from people who, though distant, were iicn-
tilted with us in principle and love for con-
stitutional freedom-a people, who would
unite with the people of Massachusetts in re-
sisting to the utmost tae ruinous measures
and absurd policy Of the administration. Mr..
Bell sat down in the midst of long continued
peals of applause.
After he had concluded, Mr.. Webster rose
and remarked that although the meeting was
rather a political than q convivial ore, he
would ask permission to propose sentiments:
"Mr. Bell and the Wings Of Tennessee, and
three times three"
The cheers were given till the walls of old
Faneuil reverberated to the sound. Mr..
Webster then announced that Mr.. Graves of
Kentucky, would address the meeting.
After the Kentucky representatives had
finished, Mr.. Webster proposed anctlier SEN
timent to the following effect:
The Wing Senators Of Kentucky-IIenry
Clay and John J. Crittenden--tho Wing
Representatives of Kentucky-and the great
Wing party of Kentucky.
Received with nine cheers!
Mr.. Webster then introduced Mr.. Ogden
Hoffman, Of N. York, whose appearance was
greeted with prolonged cheers.
Hon. OGDEN HOFFMAN rose amidst deafen.
ing plaudits, and delivered most thrilling,
soul-stirring speech. His manner is remarka-
bly, pleasing, and his eloqucncc met with a
response from every voice in the hall.
Mr.. Webster then gave as closing senti-
ment-"Our cause, which we believe to be
the cause Of the country-and if our arm can
make it successful, success shall attend it,"
Received with nine cheers.
