height. IT having been announced that James R
Whiting, Esq, James T. Brady, Esq, and joval
Jem Thompson would address the assemblage, a
number were present from the city intermingled
with the hard listed yeomanry. At about one
O'Clock the "cry Of here she comes'' was heard
through the crowd. and casting our eyes over a
rolling emnence on the main road, we perceived
line of sxtyeight pair OF beautiful athletic oxen,
whose yokes were decorated with an American,
"Pok and Dallas" flag, and in the distance at the
rear Of the line was the Young Hickory" OF i'm
mense dimensions. This SON of the forest was re-
ceived with the enthusiastic cheers of the yeomanry
and it erected to its station with the stars
and stripes at its head, and accompanied by the
choicest national airs from Dodsworlh's band, and
the deafening peal of artillery. a'a
The meeting was then addressed by F. T. Mar
bury, Esq, who was followed by James T. Brady,
Esq. These gentlemen dwelt with much eloquence
upon the various politcalquestons before the coun-
try, and the latter presented an able argument
against the policy and Justice of the manufacturers

whose peculiar position, and prospect Of nomina-
tion for Congress by the democrats and concurrence
by the natives, caused considerable interest to his
remarks. He spoke Of the magnificent pole erect
ed as the emblem of the democratic party in the
present contest, and memento Of the past, when
democratic principles had been the guiding star to
the welfare of the nation and the prosperity and
happiness of the whole people. He then alluded TO
the several questions OF national policy that formed
the issue between the two parties at the approach
ing contest, and took up the subject of the tariff
with giants hand. He reviewed the past evils Of
over imporlations, forming an excess of revenue
that led to speculation, fraud and bankruptcy, and
exposed the fallacy Of the whg doctrine that as
sumed the principle that high protection to manu-
factures produced equal benefits to all other inter-
statesmanlike, national view should be taken on
this subject-that no one portion of the Union
should receive the benefit Of legislation to the injury
of the other-that If any benefit was TO be derived
for revenue, well and good but he opposed, en-
phacally, special legislation for the east the west,
the north, or south. He dwelt with much elo-

objects Of humanity found in manufacturing Eng

tree trade was not to be advocated until other
governments were reciprocal in their views,
and that whenever they arrived at such
conclusion, free trade would carry with it
the germ of liberty that would transplant it.

well distinguished that review from him was NOT
necessary. In ausion, to the remuneration Of
Texas he said, ifhe had been consulted before Mr.

he should have advised him to have advocated the
annexation, and he now hoped that if she was an

acknowledge that Independence that they now so
pertinaciously deny. loud cheers followed this
new idea-) And, says he. if the manufacturers
are so anxious and earnest to have their interests
subserved, Texas will readily assent TO take
the surplus of their manufactures at full prices as
an equivalent to satisfy their objections. He spoke
OF the occupation OF Oregon, as called for by
every principle of Amercanism and that opposition
to it could emanate from none except enemies to
the interests and honor of the natien. In allusion
to the advocacy of Clay by the wings, he asked
who was to be benefited by a high tariff: except
and how many able bottled men do you find en-
gagged in manufactures-few, very few-not one in
hundred-they are girls and children, who re-
ceve their eighteen pence day, and whose con-
sttutions are destroyed, and their minds benumbed
by iheiridaly labor to support their employers. He
closed with an eloquent appeal 10 the patriotism OF
the assemblsge in favor of the doctrines of the de-
mocratic party, in which he contended that re-
lance upon manufactures for the happiness and
prosperity of this great agricultural nation, de-

butte to the character, talents, and patriotism Of
James X. Polk and George M. Dallas he closed
with the enthusiastic cheers OF the audiences.
