resolved magnanimously to give up the
subjectsaltogether. These gentlemen saw
the people will take care Of themselves;
and the people, to say truth, have deter

are much obliged to them, and henceforth
will take care of themselves.
Fellow-citizens, Continued Mr. Wy
there must be no cessation in our warfare.
We must not stop or falter in our opposi-
ton to the Administration and its meas
ures till our lost prosperity is restored
the Government brought back to its an
clent purity, wisdom and dignity-tiIl pri-
ces assume their former level-til labor
commands its just and ready reward-in
short, till the causes Of our reasonable
complaints are removed. Not till then
should we lay down our arms. On the
18th of July next, hope to meet nv fell
low citizens in Faneuil Hall, and | will
bear to them greeting from you. Has the
Administration yielded to any portion Of
our countrymen the benefits they had a
right to expect? (Cries Of 'No! nor I
say no! Have you an interest in any
thing which will not be maintained by
William Henry Harrison! Can we lose
any thing by change? Let us. then, go
forward together. We have made Will.

standard, and while he holds it. it shall
not fall unless we fall along with it.
Our readers will receive the above as a
mere sketch Of the principal points in Mr.
WEBsTER's speech; yet its length and
our limited space compel us to notice on
ly very briefly and cursorily for the pre-
sent the admirable and eloquent addresses
which followed.
There was evidently great disappoint.
ment and regret at the absence of HENRY
CLAY. But frequently was his name
"freshly remembered" during the day.
His distinguished friend and colleague,
Mr. CRrrTENDEN, was loudly called for as
soon as Mr. WEBSTER retired; and never
did that gentleman display his inimitable
faculties of popular reasoning and elo-
quence with greater effect. His allusion
to the day-THE ELEVENTH DAY OF JUNE
1.-The day on which thousands and thou
sands of our fellow count,ymen were eel
eb,ating the victory of Fort Meigs, was
most felicitious; and the audience seemed
to have but one heart. and one mind, and
one voice, when they responded 10 his tri-
butte to the glories of that day, and the no.
BILE leader i'll the fight.
Mr. PREsToN followed Mr. Crittenden,
IN compliance with a general call from all
parts of the ground. His speech was a
masterpiece of popular eloquence; and
listened to with the most absorbing inter-
est, and manifest delight.
Mr. Huffman, of New York, Mr. Bid
die, of Penn, Mr. King, of Georgia, Mr.
Thompson, of S. Carolina, Mr. Phelps,
of Vt, Mr. Garland, of Virginia, MI
Graues, of Kentucky, and several other
gentlemen, successfully addressed the au.

The assemblage did not break up until

Being asked what he thought of the
Bank of Maryland, he replied, that h,
knew nothing of that institution, but h,
could tell them something about the bank
of the State of Michigan-a State which
had been governed by the Locofoco
since the day of its creation. In that State
he said, 'the banks were SO numerous
