body elss's governor, that the union OF these
States is not in the keeping Of politicians who
trcmble at every breath Of agitation loud and
repeated choersl. This Union lives in the hearts
of twenty three millions of men men who are
not frightened at the storms of life; men who

trembling, ncrveless politicians that are travelling
up and down the country, hurting into the ear OF
the people their devotion TO the Union, that at

men, they tell US the movement is ga sectional

was famous man among seven or eight polite

Washington on the wave of popular favor, and,
gentlemen, from the 4th of March, '52, up to
this hour, he has been the veriest tool in the
hands of a set of bold, aggressive, domineering
chiefs of the black power of this Republic [cheers
He is the tool of the embo dment Of scctlonalism
of this Republic nothing more and nothing less.
HIS administration, in obedience to the sectional
spirit that governs it, has thrown open nearly five
hundred thousand square miles Of Free-soil terri
tory---larger than tho Roman empire when Caesar
held lesions by conquost---a territory larger
than that of Franco when Napoleon cast his eyes
on burning Moscow; ho has thrown this vast ter
ritorv open to the inroads of slavery. All this

party has passed under the control of the slavery

politicians of the Democratic party will go to
Cincinnati and bow in abject submission to the
domineering chiefs of the South. Itcl you, gen.

you there iron heels here on that tail (cheers
The Wing party, gentlemen, has passed from
earth. do not know whether it has been trans
lated or not, but it has p,ssel away---it exists
only in history. Peace be with it There are
some of our Wing friends in this State we
have few moro left in Massachusetts, but their
b'nner lies in the dust. Isuppose, gentlemen,
you have in New York just VIII 1t we have in New
England. Whenever you see an attempt made by
little faction of the National Wing party to
raise the Wing banner, to make Wig fight,
the supporters of the administration run to that
little faction and put their shoulders under it in
order to elevate it high enough to be knocked
down. The Democratic party is mourning to-
day over the fallen Wing party. 1t mourns over
the overthrow of that party; tell you, gentlemen,
that there is no hope of the reorganization of the
Wing party in the United States. The Wing
party bowed to Slavery it has died [checrs]
Gentlemen, within year and half a new party
sprang into being, and TINT party wished to carry
the country. 1t united with the Anti Nebraska
sentiment in 1854, and aided in sending some
sixty or seventy members to Congress who are
opposed to the extension of Slavery, but the
South demanded that the American marty should
be Pro-Siavery organization. saw last win
ter, gentleman, in Washnton, that an effort was
to be made to enforce the American party to bow
down in abject submission to the slave power !;
and, gentlemen, | made up my min that as a
member of that organization, if that organization
undertook to be Pro- Slavery organization, if |
had the power would SILVER it into ten thousand
fragments Loud and repeated cheersl. l came
home from Washington, gentlemen, resolved to
do what could to save the American party from
becoming PrO-Slavcry organization-- to save it
from humiliation. You will remember perhaps,
some Of you, that in this city of New York early
in May last warned you that the effort was to
be made to convert the American party into Pro-
Slavery organization.
| said to that organization in all candor that
the nti-Slavery men of the country ought to say
ought to resolve it, ought to proclaim it, from the
rising of the sun, at the going down of the same,
and in the broad light of MONDAY, that whenever
the American party laid its hand upon the Anti
Slavery movement of the country, on that day it
should begin to die [Cheers] Well, gentlemen,
in June last we went up to Philadelphia; the
Slave power came there, and asked that the Amer.
lean party would sanction all the Pro- Slavery Of
the country from the organization of the govern
ment up to the contamination Of the Nebraska mi
guilty, and delegates from the State of New York
stood by and sustained them in their demands
say to you, gentlemen, that the American party
was ruined at Philadelphia forever by the Bark
crs and the Lyonses of New York. And, gentle
men, if could speak to every man in that organ
ization in the State Of New York that loves liberty
and hates oppression, Fwoud say to him the first
duty you owe your country, yourselves and your
God, is to rcpudate that baf1ed, defeated and
disgraceful Pro- Slavery faction here in the State
of New York, [Cheers].
The first duty you owe to yourselves and your
country is to leave that organization and unite
together with the hosts of freemen of the State
of New York and say to the freemen of New
York, that the first duty you owe to your country
the first duty you owe to the State of New
York, is to crash out politically forever the Bar
kers, the Lyonses, the Ullmanns, and :he whole
Pro- Slavery Amercanism- Ilindooism, rather, of
of the State of New York Laughter aud checrsl
want to be distinctly understood, and say here
Tonight that the fundamental ideas (are in per-
feet harmony with the declaration of indepen-
dence) of the equal and just rights of all men that
underlic the American movement. believe every
man of all parties in tho country ought to sane
ton them, and mean to advocate and uphold
them in public and private life. But l say that
the American organization here in the State of
New York is nothing moro nor less than Pro-
their efforts to crush out the cause of liberty in
the State of New York [Applause].
Now, gentlemen, l have referred TO- night to the
purposes for which this organization was formed.
Let us all, in all the free States, unite, combine
all the frce-men of the country to resist the ex-
tension of and domination Of the Slave power of
the country. Let US, Isay, bury all the little DIFF
ferences that exist between us. Let US cultivate
union, Cancellation, and harmony among ourselves.
Let us prepare for the canvass of 1856, and then,
gentlemen, let us nominate man with back
bone who will carry out our views. (Great ap-
plause.) believe, gentlemen, and | have some
little means of knowing the people, (havng, dur
ing the past seven months, travelled through thir-
teen States of the Union, and nearly 5000 milcs)
have seen men of all parties, and tell you re
to. night, gentlemen, if we stand by the platform
of the Republican party as proclaimed in Massa-
chusetts and in New York, if we discard all other
questions, keep them in allegiance. and make this
great question of Freedom paramount above all
others, we can carry every State of this Union in
1856. tremendous applause. In 1854, for the
first time in the history Of the country, carried
