Meeting at Rochester.
Correspondence Of The ". Y. Express.

ROCHESTER,, November, 4.
! The friends Of the National Administration had
rousing meeting in this city last night, for The
purpose Of expressing their views in regard 10
OF the more important topics of the day Hon. r.
u. Strong was made chairman, and the usual mum
Der Of other officers appointed. DIR. Alexan
der kelsey introduced the following resolutions,
which he supported in elegant and strong
speech. | clip the resolutions from the Daily
Amsrican of this morning. They as follows,
| "ReSOlved, That in our opinion the interests of
the people OF this State are intimately connected
with the speedy enlargement OF the Erie canal, and
that we earnestly recommend every Wing voter
TO his beet exerions in occurring full uOle in
favor of the Wing State ticket. thereby placing
the canal interests in the hands Of those who have
| been it's tlrm, unwavering and consistent friends
"Resolued, That the history of the last four
months shows but too clearly the iallacy Of the
tariff OF 1916, and the necessity of returning 10 the
law Of 1912, which brought the whole country from
the lowest depths OF depression to that OF unexam-
pied prosperity.
"Resolued, That the present National Admins.
ration Is fully entitled 10 the cordial support Of
every true hearted Wing, and deserves the respect
OF all parties who desire to cultivate peace harno-
N.Y. and prosperity, in all parts and portions of our
extended country.
"Resolued That we cannot too strongly censure
the effects OF designing demagogues and reckless
fanatics who preach disobedience to law, threaten
the officers OF justice, and pronounce the Constitu
tion--tbat great charter OF our liberties and happi
ness-'an atrocious bargain made by our foreia-
! ther5'
mortified TO learn that Wing Senator from this
State improved the opportunity afforded by the
| late trials growing out of the Syracuse riot to
walk into the United States district court, and in
vlte the rioters to form procession, march to his
own house, and partake Of a collation.; thus
couraging rebellion and heroizing those whose
course OF conduct would lead to anarchy and
end of all government.
ssResOiced. That w have ne ther symDa thv with.
nor confidence in those who would merget the Wing
| party into that iInpracticnbc band OF misguided
| philanthropists who defeated Henry Clayin 1884,
| thus, IN the name OF humanity and hostility TO
slavery, involving the country in war, largely in
creasing the area of slavery, and trampling all
thority under their feet
"Resoiped, That will continue to adhere with
unwavering firmnees to that ancient Wing banner
upon which is inscribed THE Supremacy of the
| Laws, and we have no confidence in those no OBJ
ject to its lofty position, or tire of its moral. Our
experience has taught us that those who wander
from this standard never return, but finally fall
into the enemies hands, commence a guerilla
warfare on their own account.
| ''fies0Ived, That in the adoption of the new con-
stitution proclaimed publicly, and to all men,
that the only safety in an elective judiciary
sisted IN the fact that the people would forever act
| IN obedience TO their own judgment and con-
sciences instead Of the dictates Of party; and in
obedience TO that sentiment we now proclaim that
no Wing ia bound TO vote for Samuel Blatchford,
of Auburn; young gentleman who is as little
tinguished for any high legal attainment calculat-
ed 10 fit him for justice of the supreme court. II
ID in strict accordance with every political obliga-
ton to vote for the candidate best qualified for that
high and responsible position, and no party
complain Of such action.
"Resolved, That we support the late nominations
made at Syracuse, because they represent the
Wing policy of this State. and made with
that spirit OF compromise and concession calcu-
lated 10 bind and keep the Wing party together.
But we sincerely regret that the late Wing con-
vention in this county manifested an entirely diff
ierent spirit, and every voter has right to judge
for himself how far he is bound by their intolerant
proceedings"
The foregoing resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
An occasional outbreak of petuance from
"wooly head" ''liberty man" followed the
reading of some of the resolutions, but the loud
applause that silenced all opposition told too truly
that the sentiments met with hearty response.
When DR.. kelsey concluded his speech, loud
call was made for Charles G. Lee, esq. who intro.
duced the following resolution. and made it the
basis of few remarks. Mr.. Lees resolution was
as follows
"Resolued, That union, as originally demanded
by the necessities the protection and future prosper
ity of the several States, entered into between
them, and which resulted in Government of Uni.
ted States, is the law and condition of our exist
ence a nation.
s'That the Constitution is the embodiment of the
Union; entered into by the several States with
generous and expansive spirit of compromise for
the general good and has hitherto been sustained
and honored by sworn and sacred faith in its OBJ
jects and provisions the foundation and perma-
hence Of our whole political fabric.
.That Union and the Constitution is the grand
rallying doctrine of the Wing party-the peculiar
duty and necessity OF the present timcs--and the
chief guarantee to posterty of the endurance and
prosperity of this nation.
Mr.. Lee is orcible and elegant speaker, and
his remarks told strongly upon the audience. AT.
ter tracing the of things that led to the Sy-
racuse outrage, and the examination of the law
breakers at Auburn, the speaker drew a vivid pic
turc ofthe Bloomer and negro procession TO the hon
orablc Senator's house, with the subsequent COLA
ton, and inquired what must have been the topic
OF conversation at such tea party. The pic
| ture of the Senator, surrounded by bandy-leggcd
Boomers, struck tho audience supremely ridicu-
lous. II would be rare subject for caricature.
The regular called meeting adjourned with the
best feeling, when some OF the malcontcnts, who
had hardly stomachcd their wrath until this time,
called out for new organization. This eff
fected with selection of officers, the mover
being privileged and almost semi annual boiler
from the Wing ranks, and one OF the vice-pres
dents being Democratic Free soter-and this at
what styled Wing meeting. Cries of Fred.
Douglass for secretary made, but the courte
Gus Ethiopian had deserted his wooly friends, and
50 the meeting took up one of the editors of the
Democrat (pseudo Wing paper) as ccretary. But
the organization failure and, after a varie-
ty of amusing scenes, i'll which it difficult to
tell whether it was Douglass ratification meeting
or general smash among the "woollies," the
crowd adjourned, with the quotations for wool de-
cdedly "inanimate'
You will see, Messrs Editors, by tie resolutions,
that the National Wings of old Monroe stand by
the long established principles Of the Wing party,
while they condemn the introduction of is
Sues and scorn the Pecksnitian of the Au-
burn Senator. This county will give n rousing
majority for the STATE TICKET, but local nomina
tions may suffer.
Yours, &c, O. p.
