AT MIR. FRELINGHUYSEN'S.
After Col. LuMPKlN had concluded at National
Hall, the meeting adjourned and the citizens
formed in column, preceded by band of music,
and marched to Washington Square, to pay
their respects to Hon. THEODORE FREI.yGuuY-
SEN Here host filed the street between his
residence and the University, for considerable
distance, and Mr.. Frelinghuyscn promptly ap-
peared in answer to their call. Mr.. II. E. DA-
vlEs briefly addressed him, rendering him the
congratulations of the Wings Of this City on their
own good fortune i'll securing so worthy an asso-
ciate on the ticket with their beloved Henry
| CLAY. Mr.. Frelinghuyscn responded in an
eloquent and lorcbc speech, expressing himself
grateful for the good opinion Of his fellow cilzens,
grateful for the honor conferred on him by his
selection b. SO ustrious a conyocation of patriots
as that recently assembled at Baltimoe-grate-
full more than all, that his name had been worthy
of association with that Of HENRY CLAY. He
had served in the public councils with Mr. Clay,
and he knew there was no more devoted Patriot,
no more capable Statesman. He had been tried
in every way and had proved himself worthy of
the highest honors, the deepest admiration. His
biography for the last thirty years is the history
of our Country, and nearly all the great mea-
sures which have contributed TO the welfare of
our People either originated with or have been
most powerfully supported by him. At this mo.
mcnt, the measures for which the Wings are
contcnding are emphaticallY the measures CT MIR.

tribute to the election and to support, in whatever
way his humble abilities permitted, the Admins
tration of that noble Patriot.
Mr.. F. avowcd himselfa WING in Principlc-a
Wing from the stert-and made a efbut forci-
BILE statement of the great Measures of the Wing
party, and his reasons for supporting them. He
portrayed Mr.. Clay nobly brcasting the tide OF
Executive usurpation through years of adverse
fortune, bravely battling for the principles Of our
Constitution and of true Freedom, when the
timid shrunk back and the feeble despaired
crowning years Of generous effort in support of
the country's best interests by his patriotic sacrl
fiee in the passage Of the Compromise Act, by
which he rescued the Country from the horrors of
civil war and fra,ricidal boodshed. He loved the
Protective policy much, though he had not shared
in passing nor wholly approved The Tariff Of
1928; but he loved the Union, Peace, and Con-
cord even more than this, and he had abiding
confidence that, after the fray had been ayerled,
