Testimony from the Right Quarter.

Wenake the following extract from speech
made at the great ratification meeting in
Philadelphia
/ have told you that came here ID bear
my testimony to the Importance of this great
electoral question at the present time, and in
all truth and sincerity l have done So =
The Democratic party have nominated as its
candidate for the Presidency, your well known
and universally esteemed felloW-citiZen, James
Buchanan, and for Vice President, a citizen
of Kentucky, John G. Brcckinridge, worthy
by his talents, and services, and chsracter. of
the confidence indicated by his selection
And their election will be at once the test of
the strength of our party and the pledge of
its Union, and also of Its stability Well
then, may | say, that the election is a mon,cp
tous one. So momentous, indeed, that the
personal claims of the candidates almost fade
from view. And yet need not tell a Penn
sylvania audience, an American audience in
deed, that James Buchanan is among the
ablest and purest, and most experienced of the
statesmen of our country, htted By his quail
fications to fill and adorn its highest station.
/ The Executive Government Will be safe in his
hands. Abroad, he will maintain our rights
and our honors with decision and firmness,
and at the same time, In proper spirit of
national courtesy and at home his guide will
be the Constitution, and he will iea}ously
/ guard, within the limits of his duty, the rights
/ of every section of the Republic The name
OF an American out of this country will be a
passport of honor, and within it will be a
guarantee of constitutional rights, so far as
regards the general government, which no
man will touch with impunity. And he will
find the colleague we shall give him, (Mr.
Breckinridge) afaithful co-adjutor in the same
great cause. [ say the colleague we shall
give him, for they both will be elected The
! decree has gone forth. and it may be read in
| all the signs around US In the favor with
| which the Nominations are reeejyed in the
ports that reach us, and in what we have done
aud can do-and that also We vii do. And
these considerations, while they furnish conf
dence tor hope, furnish also motives for ener-
getle action. We shall enter the contest. not
for victory, that as we see unerrinr Indication
promise, but for the extent OF tba. victorv
nor for majority, but for the numbers be.
| YONG 1t. What we want is a most decisive
| result that to the power of the Constitution
the new administration may add that moral
| power, which depends on the conviction OF
nuoic support and cooperation And all of
tins Is within our reach, if we carr; to tae
Wosk Tut small portion of the zeal and en-
/ efgy which our revolutionary patriarchs car

Counties of Ulster has given to her Gotten
culture. Seventy years ago, the total value
OF all the cotton raised in the States only am
ounted to so, 900 dollars. Last year, the
value of the same crop was nearly 150, ,0O0,-
oVo dollars. Thirty yerrs ago Brother JON
athan owned one million tons shipping, at
present his marine power is equal to four
million tens; and in that great department of
enterprize-in the scientific construction of
merchant vessels the young Republic has
taught some very valuable lessons to his Re-
gal relative. As market for British produce
and manufactures the United States takes the
first rank. Last year they consumed at the
rate of nearly 20s per head of the population.
or about 924 900, 900 of our goods During
the palmiest days of our commercial exchan-
ges with Russia the annual extent of British
products taken by the people of that country
never exceeded Cd head OF the entire popu-
lation.
We have stated. that the men of the Uni
ted States ard those of the United Kingdom
have yet much to learn Of each other On
this side the Atlantic we must not accept the
policy of Pierce, or the Rob Royism of Walk
er, as the true Indication of feeling even of
the minority towards this country. Erring
politicians, red ,apsts, and sticklcrs for Cahi-
met routine have done much to raise up the
barricades of national prejudice and national
jealousy between the people of the British
Isles and those of the Western World. It is
full time that all such obstacles should be cast
away, and that the nations which, as we have
seen, are SO mutually bound together by COM
mercial intercourse, should only strive in the
peaceful campaigns of progressive industry.
