After the organization Of the meeting, the
President introduced 10 the audience the Hon
ROBERT A. TooMDs Of Ga. who spoke, in sub
stance, as follows;
congratulate you, fellow. citizens, on the pros
pect before US. on the arrival of a time when the
WHO'S of Georpia and of New York may meet
upon the same platform. | congratulate you that
having lost the fruits of the great victory ol
1910, you are yet prepared TO WIN another.
Our attitude is such that discussion Of Wing
PRINCIPLES is useless useless, Tor those principles
are written upon our hearts; and the Wings
of Georgia and of New York each bear upon their
banners the same motto.
And what are those principles
lst A sound Currency;
3D. Revenues 10 be raised By lmpcsts upon im-
porlations, with an especial view to the encour-
agcmcnt OF American Manufactures;
Sd. Distribution OF the Proceeds OF the Public
Lands among those 10 whom they belong;
4lh. A limitation of the Executive patronage,
a great means TO effect which will be the adop.
ton OF the one term principle.
UEon these points the Wings of Georgia and
of Ncw-Ycrk ag,cc. AZ length we have cast
aside the sectional prcludlces which bad men at
tempted TO excite, and seek only 10 advance the
interests of the United States. 1t is not true that
the interest of any section of the country is ever
disunitcd from that of the whole people. We
have learned at length, in Georgia. that this is not
the case, and are met upon that great platform
of true patriotism.
And what is the attitude Of our opponent |
mean no disrespect to your New York states
man but now hc is fighting not for the Prcsl-
dcncy, fellow. citizens, but for NOMINATION from
The Locoloco party.
Wha, is the democracy of his supporters? In
the South they go for free tradc-they would
protect nothing except for the purpose OF gaming
votes in Louisiana for that reason they would
impose duty on sugar-and to gloss over this
Mr.. CALHOUN, that distinguished statesman and
the leader of the party, would say he does 50 be-
cause it is the produce OF slave labor.
We, Georgia WniGs, do not agree with him.
We think if any labor is TO be protected it should
be that of the free white man, having an inter-
est in and bearing portion Of the burden of gov
ernmcnt We think the mechanic is TO be p-o-
tected We claim a brotherhood as well with
those who fell at Bunker.hill as at Eutaw
and York;own-with all The patriots who fought
in the Revo!ution-and any effort to queuch this
sentiment is as vain IS would be one to quench
the beams of the stars.
Who are the advocates of protection Why,
in Pennsylvania this is very Democratic doc
trinc, but in New York it is rank Federalism.
By the way, Mr. P.osident, that is name our
opponents apply 10 every thing they Go not like.
Ii may be for the purpose OF accommodating the
preiudices OF Western New \ ork, they will make
TO ii concession similar 10 that made to Louisi-
ana in the sugar question.
N,ornout by impatience OF such inconsistencies,
the people here came together after treason un-
cqualled since that of tie Judean who sold his
master for Thirty pieces of silver, to make the
nomination they have presented 10 you to-day.
That resolution, formed within the walls of a
church, has been echoed through the Whole CONT,
nent.
And what arc the principles Of our opponents,
the Loco-Focos They are anti Bank; they
arc anti-T they are anti-D Distribution they
are anti. Wing, anti every thing. But is it pos
sible that great Government like ours can be
supported by string of Ants? No, Sir; not if

Astor House.
When General Jackson left the Presidential
chair, he boestcd 10 his friends that he had

proved currency, secured by string of Banks,
but they have failed, and all his prosperity passed
away with them, srd the credit of the country
was lost-State credit was gone, and individual
credit had disappeared; the National bonds were
hawled about the streets OF London in vain to
find a purchaser, and then their party advocated
reuenchment and reform. Such retrenchment.
The expenses Of j. Q. Adamss much abused ad-
mnstration were thirteen million but Mr.. Van
Buren's reformed them up to thirty.
They now abuse our jokes, because they have
been beaten off from every other point. Let
them do so. Our jokes we can dispense with,
but our principles, do believe, import much TO
the health OF the nation. Defeated as we were in
