FELLOW CITIzEss: / duly appreciate the honor
that you have conferred upon me this evening in be-
ing called upon to preside over this large and patriotic
meeting. rejoice to be identified with the cause in
which we are engaged tonight. 1t is deserving
al our enthusiasm and untring efforts from this
time until the cause of civil and religious liberty upon
this Western Continent is fixed by an Administration
that will be true to the great principles of Liberty.
| regret the occasion of our assembling together.
regret that sufficient exists TO call men from their
avocetions and compel them to forego all other con-
sderations and rush to the support of Liberty in the
hour of peril Cheers regret that the reign of pro-
found peace that existed upon the inauguration Of the
pre- sent Administration has pissed away, and that
threatening clouds lower over our Western frontier
Liberty is threatened with banishmcnt TO latitude
further toward the North pole while Slavery that at
the formation of Federal Constitution was c0uchan
humble and apologize is low putting on the AIRS
Of the conquerOr, marching over broken c0mpacts TO
the tune Of savage warfare, and leading captive the
hosts of freemen because the repre- sentatves OF free
men have proved recreant 10 their trust, AID
surrendered the great principle that was com
Inttcd TO their charge for safe keeping Cheers
regret that the conspiracy was ever formed to o6t-
crate that covenant of peace that covenant OF anity

dured till time should be no more, that covenant which

once poyerful American party but which, like other
parties Slavery has divided | have seen perintied
with so honorable body of associates as surrounded
me to sail toward the North Star while Others san

be improper for me in few words to state the reasons
why such an unhappy division has taken place II
