@ virginia and New-York have stood together be-
FORE Her desiines youry-her hieadsnps are
voura and II YOU stand by the platform Of tho Amer
can party you will find that the Southern Stetes VII
stand around YOU; and with that support you may BID
defiance to ali Aboonists and enemies OF the Union
and Constitution. The success OF the American party
depends upon their maintaining the Unionst ana Con
stitutiona principles laid down in that platform Eel
low citizens | thank you
The Hon. Mr.. Pitcher Of Kentucky next
saved the Union. BY way of change, he was
not all lamentation and despair. There WAS
ray of hope;
Kentucky gave to the Union Henry Clay the
Great Pacifcator-the Jupiter Tonans of the land
the great father of the American System as ne caed
1.-THE great father of the COMPROMISE oil lsZO-the
great father of the Compromise OF ls32-the great
father of the COMPROMISE of 1850. Three cheers for
the memory of Henry Clay.I'
The Union had been saved so often, why not
once more1 Pitcher thought they should not
despair while Kentucky stood ready to keep the
States together. This is the way she does 1t, as
Pitcher clearly illustrates:
"Now. felow-citizens, in retiring from before You,
let me cav that thank you from the bottom OF my
heart. Kentucky is the gussct Of the Union. When
ever there is like to be breach in the bonds OF the
Union she slips in gusset and sews them together.
The last speaker at the principal rostrum was
the Hon. Mr.. Mccall of Florida. He not only
went in strong for saving the Union, but he let
the cat out of the bag to the motives OF those
who save it. They don't save 1t for nothing.
They must be remembered and rewarded in the
day of triumph. "The cohesive power of pub
sic plunder" is the thing with them after all,
as we'll as with some other patriots. Here is
the manner in which the Hon. Mccall wound
up his Grafton:
"One word in regard to the union of these glorious
States came not here with secessionist or aboli-
tionist spirit. General Wilson and those who CO.
operated with him entertained different opinions. l
thought that be and the England delegates would
have voted with the majority, and | was astonshed
when they Seeded but my mind was relieved when
heard they gone to Cleveland to JON the hnow-
Something's ILaughterl. L came here with Union prn-
ciples was afraid that South Carolina would have
gore over the traces but found that her delegates
were Union men and supported the platform, which
trust YOU will maintain. And when you have con-
quered ask you to recollect with gratitude Freeman
and Van Chef of Pennsy vana, who stood by the Ma
tona party; and in the name of God, you have any
rewards to bestow, bestow them upon PENNSYLVANIA
and New-York. In conclusion give you New YORK,
the hospitabe Empire City,
Beside the main stand there.were two others.
The speakers at these blubbered over the dan
ger of the Union in doughface fashion. But we
have quoted quite enough to show what are the
designs of the Boohoo branch of the Know
Nothngs. If words have any meaning the lead
ers of this party are bent on prostrating and an
Initiating the North aud extending indefinitely
and perpetuatiDg forever the curse of Slavery.
We shall see how they make out.
