inx that NO American hearts beat in that asssm-

And we do further
Resoivs That in attending and acting in this meet
ing all party considerations are nexIected-all party
strife is f0rgottcn-we abandon for the time, our
honest differences of opinion as to men or measures
we cease to be any thing but FREEMEH OF THE
| AmERIcAs REruBLic, and as SUCH we denounce as
recrean to their counrys interests and traitorous TO
their counys honor, those whose conduct at the re-
cent public dinner in New York was rather that OF
| British yassals than American citizens.
William ID. Kelley, Esq. afterwards made speech,
which he opened by proposing the health Of the Pre-
three hearty cheers, when Mr.. Kelley remarked that
when that toast received by the American people
IN silence, he hoped the monuments of the republic
and the memory Of its founders would be forgotten
He said he disapProved Of many acts Of John Tyler,
but he considered him in every respect an upright
man, although sometimes mistaken, and be could not
look upon insult to him any thing less than an
insult to the whole people. MIR. Kelley spoke with
much force, and made very appropriate COMPARE
son of Jackson and Tyler, and was loudly che' rod
| Joseph A. Nunes, Esq next addressed the meeting
in an eloquent manner remarklng that in the reyou
ton there men who would have sold their birth
rights for mess of pottage; that in the last war
there men who would have betrayed Gen. jack
son while defending New Orleans against the British,
sacrifice the honor and dignity of the nation for a
smile from the representatives Of royalty
MIR. Nunes continued to speak for some time, and
was frequently cheered. He was succeeded by
Col. James Page, who responded to loud call up,
on him in one Of his happiest speeches. He said
that every good citizen ought to forget party dstinc
tons after election held and should pay a
proper respect to the officers of the Government,
whoever they might be and, he added, THAI every
insult offered to such officer, was direct ndigni-
rfa he nf had
ed him, and to the nation which he served. The
Colonel then made some humorous rerna Ks upon the
gentlemen who figured at the Ashburton dinner and
said he rejoiced to find that there at least
one Preserved Fish IN that scay party, and he hoped
that the name and memory OF that individual would
ever be respectfully preserved" by the American
people. The Colonel spoke but short time, but eli-
cited the applause of all who heard him.
Col. John J. McCahen and DIR. Thomas Dunn Eng
lsh afterwards addressed the meeting, and were
handsomely received.
The meeting adjourned after giving thirteen cheers
to the President of the United States and three cheers
to MIR. Preserved Fish, of New York.
The American Sentinel has the following edi.
torial remarks:
POPULAR FEELING.
Yesterday afternoon the people in their strength
came forth in vndIcaton of the President of the nj
ted States. They met in Independence Square, a
firm language Of insulted freemen. The blow aimed
at the President Of the United States has fallen with
mighty weight upon his assailants. We are glad to
see that every one who can, with any kind ofpropre-
y clear his skirts of this low attempt TO insult the
Chief Magistrate of the country, has publicly done
80. The names Of the parties and their advocates
who roared for the Queen, and refused to pay just
honors to the PIesden eneraven deeply upon tho
memory OF the people The act was so rery unpatri-
otto that cannot speak Of except of the
warmest indi .nation. The Commlttee Of Arrange
ments of the Ashburton dinner purposey prepared the
toast, and had 1t purposey read to show how little
they cared fer the President of Republic by hug
zairg loI the Queen, and drinking HIS toast in ST.
lence
The gush Of patriotic feeling that pervaded the
whole assembly, was observed by all present, and at
the conclusion of the proceedings the meeting gave
thirteen cheers in favor of the President. The ENG
LIsH Wings, mean those Who cheered the Queen
and neglected the President, will be thoroughly used
up by the true Republicans ofthe na.ion.
The following, from the North Amerc an,
shows, we think, that the editor did not "syns-
pathise" as heartily with the members of the
meeting as he did with the flying Wing mem
bers:
CATER the speaking, there were, on motion, thir-
teen really hearty cheers for the President and three
for Preserved Fish, a most fortunate name for the
occasion, it afforded the orators opportunity of
exercising their punning faculties, and blending the
froth of their Indignation with the salty SAVIOR of
most excellent humor The mixture was vastly like
table beer and red behring's"
The Pennsylvania, besides giving report
of the proceedings, remarks;
" The meeting held in the State-house yesterday
for the purpose of expressing the sentiments Of the
citizens of Philadelphia in relation to the insult Of
fered the President of the United States at the
dinner to Lord Ashburton, was very numerously at
tended. Colonel Florence called the meeting to or
der and General Robert Patterson was chosen Pres-
dent, and large number Of Vice Presidents and Sc
cretaries were appointed.
There were very few Clay Wings at the meeting,
and none of their speakers present"
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
