THE RESPONSE OF NEW YORK.

The New York Courier says that one
of the largest and most respectabl, meet
ngs its editors have ever seen assembled,
gathered in the Park on Monday evening,
to respond to the nominations of she Balli-
more Convention. The response which
was given was of the most distinct ard em-
phatc character in point Of numbers the
NEE ing was one of the largest ever as.
sembled. The whole area in front of the
City Hall, from the steps to far down in
the Park, was deusely packed and hun
dreds hung upon the outskirts in every
direction.
AT the close Of tie meeting a process
sion comprising several thousands was
formed and marched to their respects to
Mr.. FRELINGuUYsEN at his residence.
MIR. FHELlNGHUYSEN'S ADDRESS.
The N. Y. Express adds-The Wings
having adjourned about7a O'Clock, march
ed in procession to the residence of Mr.
Frolinghuysen, to congratulate him on his
nomination to the Vice Presidency. From
Nthe stoor' Of his next door neighbour,
there being no sloop to his residence, in
the University Buildings, he, after long,
loud, and hearty welcome, addressed them
as follows
My fellow Citizens, thank you for
your enthusiastic appreciation of the
nomination lately made by the Wings
of the United States, assembled in Conven-
ton at Baltimore. To be selected by such
body of distinguished patriots, is an
honor most deeply, and sensibly feel and
the more deeply and sensi'osy, ,hatiti is so
cheerlully ratified by my friends and
neighbors in New York. can only say
that such mark of kindness will strength
en- my attachments to Wing principles if
such strengthening were necessary, and
that it is certainly calculated to make me
strive to the best Of my abilities, if am
ever pat in situation to carry out your
principles, so 10 act as to merit this kind
ness, 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 nobly struggled amid periods OF
the greatest gloom, and notwithstanding
the most crue! disappointments, are my
nciples.- Cheers, three times given,
and times repeated with cries, 1--WE

The WCmcn all Wings.

Dr. Francis Baco on. Esq, in his eloq uent
Grafton before the Wings of New York,
thus beautifully alludes to the predictions
OF the AMERICAN FAIR.
1t is almost universally conceded that
for some reason the vast maj or9ty of Amer-
can women are Wings. The reason may
never have been given; but it is worth seek
ing and easily found. 1t is in the very
nature of women. They act from feeling
impulse and sentiment, where men attempt
to act from calculation, reaso on and argu-
ment; and on all moral subjects-all ques-
tons of principle, their feelings and per-
ceptions Of what is true and pure and no.
bic aud beautiful are more just and certain
as they are Gaore prompt than the ambll-
Gus reasoning ofmen. The God ofnature
has thus endowed them above us, for the
hottest of purposes. The mother waits
not to reason of her duties. Her high in
sllhcl Is divine wisdom, most wisely given
Women too have strong natural taste for
the heroic in principle, for the noble, the
bold aud gallant, and all equally srong
and calculating. We owe much of that
female influence, no doubt TO the personal
qualities Of our leader His high-toned
feeling, his lervour, irankness and courage
are the traits they most seek and admire
III men. Still, it is to our principles and
action also that their preferences are rend-
cred. So was it with the mothers and
wives and dang hters Of the Revolution
So mast ii be with those of our time We
welcome them then with all our hearts
We honor their high perception Of the
moral sublime III our CT use. We give
| thea praise. Our enterprise would not be
complete in its beauty or success without
their aid, their gentle winning influences
here, and in their dominion of the home
and EresiLe;-just as our proud choral
anthems would lack perfect harmony
without The sollening melody of their
voices.
And therefore-wives and mothers and
daughters of enlightened ireemen we re-
Jolce iii your presence as an evidence oil
your appreciation of "whatsoever things
are honest, pure and Of good report" as
touching manifestation OF that moral
sense diviner than cold reason, by which
you look to the hopes and joys of that
coming age which is committed to YOU,
care. That nobly maternal love which
bears that object Of its creation in such a
continual anxious watchluness, and viii
not leave it when its infancy ceases, bu
clings to it unchanglng through life and
to death and beyond dealh,-loIlows il
over the earth and up 10 Heaven, and bear:
it near TO God-lhat same love instinc-
lively abhors the public evils of the age
and insiinelveiy promotes the influence.
which will avert those evils from that of
spring. Although the father may forge
this duty, the mother will not; and she
may make the father remember it.
Therefore, lovely and true and faithful
we are glad in the light of your counten-
ances; and from full hearts we send yor
our shouts of welcome.

Speech Of Daniel ebsler.
REPORTED FOR THE PHILADELPHIA
NORTH AMERICAN.

After the first formal proceedings of
the Convention were concluded, the
Chairman Mr.. CLAYTON presented DAN
TEL WEBSTER to the vast multitude in
front of the stand. On making his ap.
pearance on the platform, Nj. Webster
was generally and voCiferousiy cheered
During the first few sentences there was
some noise incident TO the gathering Of
the crowd more closely round the stand,
But through the greater part ofthe speech
the silence was remarkable, and the at
tentlon of the audience constant 10 the
close. When the tumult incident to Mr.
WEBsTER's appearance had sub sided, he
delivered, in his usually clear and strong
voice, the following speech:
! enjoy, gentlemen, quite an unexpec-
ted but sincere pleasure in finding myself
in the midst of this vast assembly of the
Wings of the United States. Applause.

SHOULD MAN BE PROUD?

Should man be proud: go ask the great,
The great i'm wealth, or power, or name
You will not find with all their state,
The true in heart, the pure in fame;
The world with its infectious breath
Fla tn scattered wide the faint of sin
Like marble DER the place of death,
Though fair without, all's vile within.
Should man be proud'-ask poverty
Degraded oft below the brute,
Will not It's burning tears reply
In language eloquent though mute
It's ceaseless tale of bitter wrong,
Its deep abasement-e'en in dust,
VIII answer loud and answer Goeg,
And answer true, as true it must.
Should man be proudi-go ask the grave,
The cold, the lone down trodden tomb
Where sleeps the monarch and the slave,
In kindred dust, in kindred gloom
Go to the place where thousands sleep
In still oblivion's midnight STROUD,
And DER the wreck of being weep,
And ask there, should man be proud?

THE YOUNG MEMS NATIONAL CONVEN
TION OF RATIFICATION.

The GREAT CONVENTION came off on Thurs
day the I'd of May, at Baltimore. Says the Patrl-
OF, on the ever memorable aud glorious 4th OF
May, in the ever memorable and glorious year OF
1870 there assembled in this city multitude
which seemingly defed all reckoning Of its num-
bers-and yet it was exceeded by that of to-day,
for the spirit of those ferveut days is again upon
the people"
THE NUMBER.
At quarter past o'clock A. NJ. there were coun-
ted in the procession from the different States con-
tending for the prize banner, over 1000 delegates
This included none from Maryland and the District
of Columbia, as they did not enter the contest
thousands were not able to get on the ground in
season to be counted owing to the crowded streets
and thousands more did not enter the procession at
ALL preerrng to be observers of the pageant rath-
Ell than the observed of all Observers Taken al
together, the lowest estimate of the convention is
FORTY THOUSAND-the highest, ONE HUN
DRIED THOUSAND! And then to get an idea
of the mass, the reader must remember that the
whole population of Baltimore city and the sur
rounding country--of all ages, sexes, and parties
were there to see Vermont had 1856 delegates
in the procession at the hour appointed for meeting
Delaware had 900 at that hour afterwards multi
tudes more) and took the banner. Every state II
the Union was represented. The procession form.

Wings of Delaware won the banner; the nomina
