JOHN McKEoN was loudly called for, aud on APP
dnVpd hat
he had been faithful servant in Congress, to which
| a hearty concurrence loudly responded. He
then alluded to the promised measures of reform OF
the Wings, and also to the defeat that had followed
their bank measures by Presidential vetoes, and sta
ted that he believed MIR. Webstar's exchequer bill
to be just as bad as any of the rest their financial
schemes. He then passed to a notice OF the evils

viewed the late treaty-opposed the giving away OF
the highlands, and stated that even Daniel Webster
himself had said that it was such plain case in our
favor, that he would 60 himself and take it before
the last fourth of July. He said that the demand OF
Great Britain to compel us to keep an armed
vessel on. the African coast, at an expense
of a. million per ,annum, was as modest,
as if they had asked to keep an armed
police over New York city. He alluded to
the Caroline affair, in the most bitter terms, and
contrasted 1t with the letter of De Tocquevile, in

to national honor as she had already been redu-
ced in pecuniary degradation. He concluded by an

chimneys. He said he rendered to John Tyler his
full appreciation for his veto combinations, but that
he had glorious example set him by the old Hero
of Tennessee-(cheers) While in Europe, he
said it was rare to see any thing but wing newspa-
pers, and therefore refreshing draught from the
pure stream of old Tammany was all powerful in
carrying off the sediment of wing doctrines, the
certain antidote to which was democratic pills. He
then alluded to the prominent men of the democra-
tic party who should be sustained for their firm ad
herence to sound democratic doctrines, and in men,
shout sent up from old Tammany that showed
that many heart was ready to bound with energy
in sustaining the southern champion of democracy.
