FELLOW WHIGs: came here TO night to see how
:he heart OF this central city Of the Union beats TO
the pulse Of the nation, as that pulse comes from
the extremes of the land, from every channel of
Communication, ratifying and sinctioning the
nominations OF the Wbig Convention at Baltimore.
From what sec here to night. no doubt response
Twill be given that will be enthusias.ically felt in
yevery extreme portion OF this wide extended Union.
Applausel congratulate you upon the union O.
the Whig party; congratulate you upon the union
fof that party on platform broad the Union
and as liberal as the Constutiona platform which
Srncs all that is useful in government, prosperous
ito the citizen, and glorious to the nation, Zap
IpauseIa platform, or act of principles, received
lin every section OF the Union with Appreciation a
| set Of principles to which the forges Of New Jer-
lsey and Pennsylvania will ring in concert with the
harvest home song Of the farmers of the West und
South [Cries of "Good' and applause set
5of principles held by the fishermen the banks Of
Newfoundland, and shouted by the boatmen on
the waters Of the West, they pass down the riv
3crs embraced by the liberal principles Of the Wing
administration [Appause
For one moment will ask your attention to the
mode and manner in which our candidate was :
ectcd--to the transactions Of the Baltimore Con
lvention, assemblage the like of which never
mot together in consultation since the days Of the
formation of our glorious Constitution. In coming
their conclusion, they had before them matters
Of serious weight not only with regard to the ma
ton but between three Of the noblest candidates
presented by the public opinion of this country to
their consider alton. And what s matter OF pride
i to the Wings, every candidate was hero. There
were the hcro-citizen President, the hero orator
statesman, and the hero-rcpubhcan warrior In
making that selection they never departe from the
usa OF the Whig party; but, after solemn conside-
3rat 10 scleC ed m "A 4
national feeling and sentiment than the other two
But look at the course Of our opponents, and make
the contrast. There was not, throughout, contes
of heroes. They commenced sha tight, which
finally ended i'll scrub race; and the result was
that there was no decision until every one was
drawn from the course, and their candidate walk
ed over it alone. Laughter, and cries OF Good, .
"good."l But our duty is to support, maintain,
and sanction the Whig nomination, and IRE tnttnd
81 TO do 1t. [Appiansc.l The public pulse has al
ready been felt; and from Maine to Texas, from
! the Atlantic to the Pacific everywhere, as far as
We able to hear, this nomination has touched
st the heart Of the American people. Locofocoism
may rcsort to tricks and slander; but Winfield
Scott, the noble old soldier, who for forty years
has stood with his breast bare 10 the foreign enc
= my, cannot be wounded sin the house OF his
friends" Enthusiastic cheering
| In the contest at Balumore-l mean the friendly
{contcs,-tbe choice was between the Wings oi
Massachusetts,, New York, and New Jersey. They
had the advantage Of US in numbers and political
strength; but there patriotic associations con
nccted with our little State which made il equal tc
either of the other two. There was Bunker Hill
laundering its revolutionary guns; New York
with its Saratoga; but Monmouth, Trenton, anc
Princeton, was too much for them. IAppiause.
As you all know Winfield Scott lie OF New Jersey
beg you not TO be euvious of his location We dc
not intend that he shall remain there long; We in
y tend to remove him bithcr for four years. Ap
plause Ii will be the business of the States tc
conduct the movement, and yours 20 receive hin
when he gets here. We shall make the movement
and fght the battle. New Jersey viii carry hii1
saieiy across the Delaware; and then will come th,
3Cherubueco OF Locofoooism, and in triumph W.
will bring him to your city. lAppause.
Bot, my feiiow-ciiizens. in this candidate pre-
sented by the Whig party there is something
more than mere nomination. 1t expresse
a great sentiment 1t is an expression o
has devoted a long life TO the service OF hi
i Ecountry. When tried on all occasions he has eve
been found faithful-a man who for forty years ha
stood as sentinel on your frontiers, resisting eve
ry foreign enemy, and now and then coming baci
TO his home in New Jersey to kindle up iresh ar
dor of patriotism amid the revolutionary battle
fields by which he was surrounded
Winfield Scott has devoted his life to tho service
of his country not only defending IL against for
eign enemy, but, when occasion needed will
quick perception and direct action settling the do
mestic differences which occasionally spring up II
every rcpubc; always showing himself the de
voted friend Of the Union, the statesman soldier
and politician-I mean in the most extended anc
Il liberal scnsc-always doing service TO the whole
u 4COuntry. lEnthusastlC applause
My fellow. citizcns, the night Is glorious-th'
stars and the moon chine brightly upon Th'
people awake 20 the great principles Of go
vcrnmont, the sentiment IL abroad in the land an,
all that is necessary IL union of action in suppor
Of the great measures which we have adopted. On
these measures we have placed our candidates, an,
will present TO tho American people system o
1 government and administration such as will re
deem the country from all the political evils unde
which it has lsbored for years past. The grca
principle of protection TO American labor Is there

rica il there embodied in these principles; anS
where can you find leaders better than Winfield
