Excellent speeches were made by |. w. STEW
ART, CHARLES CHAPMAN, and Gov. ELLSWORTH.
On the subject of Native Americanism, Gov.
ELLSWORTH made the following sensible and
timely remarks:
He said he had few words of comment upon
what was called the Native American Party. He
did not know but that in portion OF our coun-
try like New-York and other large cities there was
some necessity for this new organization, but lie
was sure there was such necessity throughout
the country. He believed that even in New York,
the remedy proposed was not the proper, or The
rshtful remedy for what they deemed an existing
evil Five years residence in this country is Dow
requisite by law 10 enable an alien 10 vote in our
electiens, and he believed that quite time enough
He could not conaen; that Il man standing by his
sda at the polls, after Ave years residence among
u.s. equal in virtue and in patriotic devotion 10 free
dom with himself should be excluded from the bal
lot box, merely because he frs; drew his breath
upon another soil. He believed the present time Of
probation quite long enough. The evil complained
Of was, in his Judgment, ralner to be charged 10
violation of the naturalization laws Than 10 those
laws themselves Let the laws upon this subject
be faithfully administered, and the evil weuld cease
Bu, w-citizens-Whigs-let US form no new
alliances whatever, and especially with this party.
The ground we now stand upon is solid ground,
and will sustain us now and forever. Let us not
then change our position one inch. Native Ameri
canism has lost lis Henry Clay already, and If
Heaven did not uerpcse, Ii light lose us ourcoun-
try forever. He would abuse no party. he came
here tonight for no such purpose-5ut ne could go
for no such prescription as that party required
and he invoked all true Wings 10 stand alooi from
any alliance or fraternity with ii. He then went
into an eloquent, and able defence Of the Wings
against the slanderous charge that they were as
party adverse TO the Catholics. He said Mr.. Clay
himself had been charged with opposition 10 this
class Of or citizens-but that no man, living or
dead since Washington, had ever shown such SYM
pathy for oppressed man every where as Henry
Clay. His speeches in the Halls of Congress have
been seized upon by the friends oi freedom through
out the world-have been read at the head OF the
armies of our sister Republics III South America,
and have been translated into Greek 10 arouse The
oppressed and nerve the arm oil freedom IN thai IN
terestirg portion Of our world-And this is the
man-this Henry Clay, who is now charged with
opposition 10 the oppressed and down-trodden
lrishmanl
We omitted to mention at the proper time that
similar meeting wss held in New Haven about
a fortnight ago, PHILr S. GALrIN, Egg. Mayor of
the city in the chair. at which spirited resolutions
were passed and able addresses made by j. F.
BADcocK, w. ". BoARpMAS, w. E. ROBINSON
and c. B. LINES, Esqs. The Land of steady
habits stands on the old WIG platform.
