to impress every who sees and listens TO MN,
with an abiding conviction Of his perfect honesty and
deep sincerity.
Mr. stansbury, of the Burlington Courier y Yer
mont next addressed the meeting, in strain of hap
py compliment and advice. He had drawn hope,
and found courage from the action of the free soil
party Of Worcester county, in times past, and he
hoped that in time come they would still be in the
van of freedoms hosts, encouraging by their exam
Pile and inspiring by their precept, all the friends Of
liberty. throughout New England
When the applause, called forth by Mr. stansbury's
eloquent address, had subsidized the President said,
he would next call upon one, who, though Secre-
tary Of State, would not desert his principles.
Hon. Amasa Walker then came forward, and said
that however humble man might be in his talents
condition, he might still be honest and that ifhe
could not claim to be illustrous great, he could
still claim the respect and confidence of his fellow
citizens. Mr.. Walker urged upon the people to be
faithful TO the idea of human liberty, as superior to
the property idea, upon which was based the whole
supersructure of slavery. He urged them to be
slant in their assertion of the democratic principle,
which was the foundation of this government, VIZ:
that is born free, and has certain inalienabe
rights, amongst which is liberty; and he appealed to
them TO show by the only legitimate and practical
means in this country-the ballot-box, that they
were worthy to be called the sons of the pilgrims.

powerful denunciaton, and keen, biting, trenchant
satire and sarcasm. 1t would be impossible to give
a full idea of the manner and style of this young,
generous, and most talented advocate of human
rights. Mr. Burlingame has been tainted by hun
kers on account of his youth. Ifyouth is fault,
is one that is daily mending; and in his case, as in
that Of the first Pitt reference to 1t will not prevent
him from dragging the thief to justice, from hold
ing up to the merted execration of honest men, him
who would betray liberty for bribe. We question
if there is one amongst our young men, who gives
farer promise of future eminence than does this no.
Bile representative of "Young America
Hon. Henry Wilson, President of the Senate, fol-
lowed Mr. Burlinghame in one of his usual effective
and able speeches. s'The hours of this suspicious
day are now drawing to close, said he, s'and we
are about to separate and go to honest hope
with deeper reverence for Country, and hope
with firm determination to make her what she
processes to be, and what she ought 10 be, sthe land
of the brave and the home of the free.'''
Gen. Wilson referred to the origin of the Free
Fst Convention Of the party; 10 the fact of Daniel
Websters friends coming up to that Convention and
d begging them 10 say favorable wold for him: to
e his calling upon Daniel Webster himself with the
+ resolutions of that Convention; to Mr.. Webster
approval of those resolutons and then he forciby
"a contasted this action of Mr. Webster and his friends
:, with their action Then they were compla-
cent and obsequious to u.s. now they are bowling
on our track with the cries OF fanatcism and rea

n ster wished TO be done; we are visionary and
n, lmpractcabe men Of half an idea. Gen. Wilson
closed his effective address by proposing the men,

rose simultaneously at the call, and paid silent
tribute of grateful homage TO the names of the great
lie and good J. @ Adams, the statesman and the man.
&c MIR. Hale, being toasted, came forward once more,
RS and INDUCED in strain Of felicous and humorous
illusions to the meeting, and to his election to the
ID u s. Senate. Mr.. Hale's rich vein of humor was
: fully appreciated, and, as might be expected, was
received with the iveliest demonstrations of salts

remarks, reiterated in the most emphatcal and M

made concerning the Secretary of State, in the
House of Representatives, and renewed the chal-

Ashmun, and the rest, accept this challenge? The
Country waits to see, and 30 shall we.

the bacl-throated cannon, drowned his voice, and
