New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1855-06-20

NAL and luctuOse character. To this e1d We
shall Gull some Of the gems of fearful tribula-
ton that abound throughout the performances;
and in so doing we shall make use of the report OF
the Satanic Press, whose sympathy with the
Rooboos renders the fairness Of its version in
this instance above suspicion.
The call for the meeting announced full
score Of orators, every one with an Hon. before
his name, and of them sixteen were from the
South. two southern men settled at the North,
and only two genuine doughfices of northern
origin And in fact of thirteen men who did
make speeches there were only two pure dough
faces, the rest being all imported from the land
Of the free and the home of the brave where
men sell their own sons and daughters and
women are imprisoned for teaching little a3tl-
dren to read the Bible. In these thirteen
speeches there is a touching uniformity. All
proye themselves most lamentabe Boohoos.
They all agree in imploring the world and the
rest of mankind to save the Union and extend
and perpetuate the Southern Institution. They
know no North, no East, no West, but only one
country, and that is the South. On the great
theme of UniOn-saving they were either exceed
inqly pathetic or exceedingly heroic. They
cbimpered and whined after the manner of
Castle Garden, or spOuted the most amusing
fustian in a manner of their own.
The Hon j. w. Barker of New-York, the Pres
ident of the meeting and Ex-President of the
Order, was the first speaker. He said: "The
"platform of principles was laid down and
unanimously adopted by the Conventip at
"Philadelpha, aud in that Convention every
estate and every Territory of this glorious
"Union was represented. 1t embraces every
"thipg that is needed-peaoe and quietude,"
and so on. Now considering that the represen-
tatiyes from every Free State but three left the
Council because of the adoption Of this negro
drivers platform, we do not exactly see how the
Hon. Mr. Barker can reconcile his statement with
the truth. The Hon. Ex-Governor Brown Of
Tennessee was the next speaker. He branched
out extensively on Union.sayng Hear him:
But gentlemen allow me to say that although
this Union is strong yet, like every other WORK o,
man. it may be destroyed. How can il be destroyed
Ii can be destroyed by destroying the affection which
one section beas to another. How can the intimate
relations which you bear to your wives be destroyed
BY the loss Of affection, which the laws OF the lana
tiops cease TO love each other and to coDfde IN each
other. there is practical end of this great Union.
We wish to harmonic these questions. We say, down
with this spirit of agitation we say peace peace TO
this mighty Republic
Next the Hon. Mr.. Bartlett of Kentucky the
new President of the Order, took the stand. He
had great deal to say about Henry Clay, who
came from the greatest of States, Kentucky, and
was the greatest of Union-sayers. Henry Clay
is an excellent topic for speaker, because the
mention of his name will bring out cheer from
the crowd when the elOquence of the speaker is
not adequate to that result. Mr.. Bartlett, after
mentioning the name of Clay. wound up his
speech thus:
"Cnn the State which holds the ashes of that man
be unfaithful to this Union Loud shouts of No,
"no"l No gentlemen no; the State which holds
those sacred ashes will hold them in this Union, with
one hand grappled upon the North and the other upon
the South until Time shall cease forever
Then the Hon. Mr.. Levin of Philadelphia
mounted the rostrum and saved the Union in
this wise:
"Wh.t is the banner now raised in Cleveland, Ohio,
BY the emissares of the Pope, who still Determined
to carry out his pious inentionsl MS me banner Of
Disunion-bI0ck blasting and bloody! There is no
midway path for them; they have struck out the
Amer an sentiment, and made tho issue slavery or
mics of the Republic stand. They ask the restoration
OF the Missouri Compromise in order to material
for agitation, as a means OF mounting into power over
the necks OF deuded people"
Next the Hon. Andrew Jackson Donelson OF
Tennessee informed the crowd that his voice
was not strong enough to be heard by them, but
as he had written out his speech, he would send
it to the newspapers instead of speaking 1t.
Mr. DOuelson thinks we ought to have man
like Gen. jackson to meet the great dangers
of the times, and says:
Mr. jefferson had said of Gen. jackson, after the
victory of New Orleans that he filed the measure OF
his country glory. But the patriotic American peo-
pie proclaimed when the old hero carried the Consti-
luton unhurt through the struggles with Notification,
that his name would hereafter stand beside that OF
Washington as preseryer of the Union."
Mr. Donelson also tells the BOOhoos
"Let our motto then be our Federal Union--t
must and shall be preserved.
The Hon. Judge Hopkins of Alabama was next
introduced to the meeting and made long
speech. He too saved the Union. He said that
DO such curse could befall this country as the
triumph of the principles of Senator Wilson and
bis friends and allies That is to say that no
such curse can befall this country as the restor-
alton of the Missouri Prohibition and the pre-
yentiOn of Slavery Extension The Judge drew
picture of the Italian republics-told how they
fell under designing despots and were extin-
like theirs. He said
SMALLER States were conquered by the greater, and
ultimately all became subjected TO one man, and knew
10 law but his will. If the dissolution OF this Union
should occur and the States be divided and ndepend-
en Of each other, the fate Of those Italian republics
