GREAT Vine MnrrrNe IN New Yonn


Mn. FRELINGHUYsEN.-On Monday, the
9th inst, one of the largest meetings ever
held in the city-of New York assembled in
the Park. in that city, to respond to the NOM
nations of the Baltimore Convention. 1t is
estimated that at least ten thousand wings
were present. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed, and eloquent speeches were made
by several NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. After
the meeting adjourned, the Wings formed
a procession, and marched to The residence
of Mr.. Frelinghuysen, to congratulate him
on his nomination to the Vice Presidency.
He made his appearance, and, after a long.
hearty, and most enthusiastic greeting,
proceeded to address the immense as
semblage, in a speech, of which we find the
following report in the New York Express:
NH. FRELINGHUYSEN'S SPEECH.
My fellow-citizens, l thank you for your
enthusiastic appreciation of the nomination
lately made by the Wings of the United
States, assembled in con- ention at Balti-
more. To be selected by such a body of
distinguished patriots, is an honor l most
deeply and sensibly feel, and the more deep
" and sensibly, that it is SO cheerfully rati-
fed by my freinds and neighbors in New
York. / can only say that such a mark of
kindness will strengthen my attachment to
Wing principles if such strengthening was
necessary, and that it is certainly calculated
to make me strive TO the best of my abil-
tiles, if am ever put in a situation to carry
out your principles, so to act as to merit this
kindness, and TO justify The confidence you
have conferred upon me. (Cheers)
Gentlemen, the great principles of the
Wing party, for which you have SO long and
so nobIy struggled amid the greatest gloom,
and Notwithstanding the most cruel disap-
pointments, are my principles. (Cheers,
three times given, and three times repeated,
with cries, "we know that - awe made the
nomination for that."l l have long cherish.
ed these principles. / shall maintain them
hereafter as nave maintained them before
(Cheers.) They are, as | understand them
A sound national currency.
4 Just limitation of Executive power.
A tariff for revenue discriminating for the
purpose of incidental protection to domestic
industry. cloud cheering.)
An equal, fair distribution OF the proceed:
of the public lands among the several State.
of the Union.
These, as l understand them, continued
Dir. Frelinghuysen, are the cardinal, al
though not all the principles, of the Viii!
party; and after what | have already said,
need hardly add, that they will find me
humble but willing advocate in whatever pc
sition / may be placed. (Cheers.)
We need an Executive administration O
the Government, Mr.. F. continued to say
that will fairly and faithfully carrying out tn
principles of the Constitution, exercisin;
its full powers which are given t,and keepln
strictly within its limitations, where power
are limited, conceding where there ought t
be concession, but firm when concessio
would result in ALPHABETICALLY maintainin
its compromises, but as independently carry
ing outfits positive commands-and yet VIII
will take no other responsibilities upon hin
rofF h1f v,hat ho finds fhorn t. - n r1otto,
as it seems to me, for thankfulness, in a di:
tinguished citizen of Kentucky all thes
principles are embodied, and that he IS nc
only pledged TO them by long public life
but that such is the truthfulness and fdelit
of his nature, that the people can we'll tru:
him with power to carry them out. (Gre;
cheering)
Gentlemen, the political life of Henri
Clay for thirty years past has been only a
illustration of Wing principles, and the hi:
tory of his life for twenty years would be tn
history of his country. Whenever there wa
a struggle for the protection of American Ii
Dor against foreign industry, where but o
the side o. his country was Henry Clay?-
Whenever there was a struggle to limit tn
alarming and oyergrown% magnitude of Exec
utive power-or when the vast public d.
main was in jeopardy from being offered ft
sale in the political market, where but on tn
side of faith, o fhonor, of justice TO all, wa
our. ilIustrious champion land friend?-
(Great cheering) In all of these great que
