He advised moderate cO1Ese % b pursued N the
canvass that wa 70 ensUe, 80 that parties could
afterwards fraternise when more important mat
teFs deeply affecting the South came D-fOre them
which be believed would shortly be the case.
Mr.. Burt followed Judge Butler, in 4 few re-
marks, during which he informed the meeting that
they had a more paramount duty before them than
thai Of PrezidentmaEing, that they had nothing 10
expect from the Notwithstanding States. He en-
tered into detail 81 the course that had been pUr-
sued by them TO deprive the Southern section Of
the Union Of their nights, and expressed biz strong
conviction that Il would result IN disruption Of
the Union If persisted IN. He called On the South
70 unite in their own defence and to trust 10 them
selves and their giIttsring bayODets and cleaning
swords. Mr.. Bur- also expressed the OJinlOn that
the State should cast vote IN the ensuing Prezi-
dental contest, bat Ike Mr.. Butler, advised a
moderate cOurss, that parties could afterwards art
in concert On other questions. He closed, remark
ing that be would not detain the audience. but
give way 70 him whom the people had assembled
10 hear.
John c. Calhoun then came forward and was
greeted with such burst Of enthusiasm by the
large assenblage az be alone can command. When
the cheering and waving Of handkerctiefs and
hats had ceased, Mr.. Calhoun addressed the audi
ence. He spoke Of the continued agitation Of the
slave question: and traced it, cO1rse from ia ncipi
ency up 70 the present time. The result, he must
confess, did not surprise him, because il had In
some measure been Anticipated by him. He can
yassed the merits Of both Cas- and Taylor in con
nectiOn with the Presidency, and slave question.
He expressed no preference for either but remained
neutral, believing the Presidential election Of little
importance when compared with the great issle
that was before the Southern people, which he
hoped would shortly concentrate the whole South
On the question a. 10 the preservation Of their
rights a. Shareholders. He believed it was the
duty Of the State 10 cast her yOtr. The State he
perceived, had gone into the cOntest-pauy lines
had already been drawn. He would counsel those
engaged in the canvass 10 BE- moderate and not 10
enter the contest with excited feelings, Or do any
act that would prevent them from uniting after the
election was over to meet question which he
deemed paramount TO President-makiDg. After
some remarks in relation to the nominee Of the
Buffalo Convention and the stand the slavebOlding
States might eventually be driven To take he said
the South had nothing to fear FOR the result and
that If made in his day he would be found prepared
70 play his part in the drama. I
His remarks were listened to with profound at
tsnilOu, and, resuning his seat the assembly mani
tested their enthusiasm by loud and repeated cheers
and the meeting then adjourned
