Tremendous Fillmore DemOnstra-
tlons In New York and Brooklyn.
The friends of Fillmore and Donelson held mon
sicr meeting at the Academy ofMusie in New York
on Thursday night. Nos, eloquentsDpeeehes were
made BY Hon Messrs Hiram Ke,ebnm Henry W. Da-
Wis Of Maryland, Humphrey Marshall Of Kentucky,
Oscar r. Moore Of ohio, and James NJ. Harris OF Ma
ryland. The speeches were received in the most
thusiastic manner and the immense crowd fingered
long after midnight listening to the cheering words
OF the speakers. The New York Commercial Ad,er
tiser in giving the proceedings ofthis great gather
ing says
"The meeting OF such character, however.
that we cannot forbcar some further remarks res
pecting IT, aud would especially invite every reader
of the Commercial to give to the opening address by
Hiram Ketchum, Esq, calm aud di.pissIonate read
ing. The speaker is an old line Wing Wing from
the start-and has shown to our minds conclusiyelY
THAI all things considered the true straight Wings al
luis and every state of the Onion should unite their
strength upon Mr. Fillmore As the candidate who, iar
ahead of his competitors substantially represents the
Wing principles Of Clay and Webster whose meme
ries every Wing reveres and whose doctrines every
Wing must desire 10 controlling the course aud
Frightening the destnies ofthe Union.
1T IL impossible to read the speech in question
without feeling patriotic sympathy with the speak
or in his estimate of Mr. Fllmores character and fit
ness for the high Office TO which he nspires. And
this not because he is the nominee Of the American
party but because with his attachments TO that or
eanizaton he combines pure, patriotic conservative
sentiments and principles; has proved himself com
petcnt to guide the ship Of state safely through the
the breakers of agitation, aud will be- as he was be

laws everywhere and everywhere mpartlally with

who will take hold of the reius OF Government
as an American; the word In national and
net political sense who will have the ability aud
The courage to say both extremes Of the agitation
lists, who would pervert territorial government into
scramble for exclusive possession; "llands OIL
that is United States territory, and Is open TO all on
an equal footing who choose TO go there. Men from
the free states and from the slave states shall
enjoy there every constitutional right, daring
to make them afraid" As Mr. ketchum well said, Mr..
Fillmore showed, in the Texas matter, that he had
the ability and the courage 10 take defend and con
summate that position, and he is not likely to
be less determined or less patriotic, fcaled 10 the
Presidential chair.
ave singles out Mr. ketchums address last even
ing as the subject OF comment because differed
sentially from other speeches made before that inn
mense audience. With some OF the sentiments eA-
pressed by other gentlemen cannot, after the
peated definitions of the position OF Commercial Adj
vertser, be expected to sympathze But we quarrel
not with those who support Mr. Fillmore differ
ent grounds from ourselves, who think him bet
ter fitted for the Presidency because he has super
added to his Wing principles those OF the American
or Know Nothing order, This is free country, and
every man is a. liberty 10 think his thoughts
and speak his own sentiments. While one citizen
supports Fillmore because he is within the pale of the
Am"-;can order; aud another that he is pure man.
DO politically and personally; and another for this
reason and another for that, give am hearty
support on the ground so emphaticny set sorth in
Mr. ketchums address-that far ahead OF his compo-
titors he is the man needed for the times and ndis
putably comes than either to the principles OF
the men whom as Wings we have ever delighted to
honor
" And on this broad but safe ground, we ask for
him the support OF every old line Wing of the Union
And we ask them TO begin at once TO give him that
support. We would have them from this time forth
Danish from their minds the idea that there
Is any insurmountable impeachment to his triumphant
election. The people everywhere rallying to his
support, multiplying evidences of the deep under
rent Of attachment to him. and all that is needed Is
"a strong pull, long pull, and pull altogether
and then over every obstacle he will be drawn, amid
glad acclaims from the whole people into the execu
tive chair as the chief magistrate OF rejoicing Union
Let every Wing resolve TO have proud share in that
triumph"
The meeting in Brooklyn, the same evening,
was also mighty gathering of the people. Soul
stirring addresses made by the Hon Thomas
Swami, of Maryland Hon J. Morrison Harris of Ma
ryand, Hon. Humphrey Marshall of Kentucky and
others So large was the meeting that three stands
were brought into requsition, of which was &C.
cupied by Geo. CONWAY, the celebrated Indian ora
tor.
