GaEAr FaEMoNr MEETING At rHE
ACADEMY OF Music - There will be
great turn on: at the Academy Of Music,
this evening, In favor 81 Fremont for Pres
idsht. We see that Geo. Law. Mr.. Spea-
cey ShafFer, are announced as Speakers on
the occasion. W. learn that ex-senator
Wsstcott, Of Florida, has been for the past
three weeks busily at work preparing a
speeck for George. which will no doubt be
chap, racv and TO the point. provided il is
properly delivered, with all the emphasis
in the right places, and the periods well
turned. Live Oak George is a great man in
contracts, railways and steam but in pol'-
tics and public speaking he must take care.
Or he will burst his boiler--N. Y. Herald.
10 long rs that shallow-rated polit
cal ignoramus-George Law poured
his gold eagles into the hrecches pock
ct Of Bennett, no pancgyric was too
vivid, or fattery too fnl.ome for the
Herald to indulge in to tickle the van
ity Of Law. Il was "Live Oak the va
liant" and Live Oak the great, the
profound, the most magnificent" with
scores Of similar twaddle, disgusting to
those who knew the character Of that
ignorant, vain and purse-proud com
mercial man, whose attainment would
scarcely qualify him for the post Of vii
lage schoolmaster. Law has stopped
payments, and Bennett has discontinued
his disgusting adulations. Such would
Be the Herald's course towards Ere
mont ifthe Republican committee did
not pay literally for its support. The
Herald knows that it is in dirty bust
sssA and feels its unnatural position,
bat Gold has power with Bennett
greater than his country's good. and
Ne ere not surprised at his present
course.

There 10 q remarkable bond of SYM
patty between the English tories and
the Fremont disunionists. not on ac-
count Of a similarity Of political senti-
ment, but because both are aiming at
the came result-a war that will del
uge the land in blood, and end in a
separation Of the North and South. -
The tories Of England dread the influ-
ence Of our Democracy upon the peo-
pie Of that country. They see that
that influence has already brought
sristocracy into contempt, and led the
people Of England to inquire whether
achsaper system of Government, like
that Of the United States, was not, af-
tsr IN, the best for the general good.
bsitash lords have inwardly anathema-
sissd the Democracy in America, and
abstsed every influence that tended to

Ths Great Speech Of the Age,

We have received a revised and suthen-
tic copy of the great speech Of Senator
Summer, and commence its publication to-
day. We shall give it in instalments, that
our readers may peruse it attentively, and
also that il may not trespass too largely
upon the space in our columns devoted to
news.
We regard il as one of The greatest
speeches of the age. None other has cre-
atea SO profound and general a sensation
throughout the country-and none other
will have such a wide spread and far-reach.
ing influence as this will have. Its effect
on the public mind will MT die away with
the occasion, or with the unusual circum.
stances which followed its delivery. Ii
will take hold OF the future;-it will con.
tinue to impress minds as they appear on
the stage Of existe nee IN coming time.
1t is not strange that the lave oligarchy
were furious and rampant. II is to their
system OF iniquity as a funeral kneli, which
shall sound in theig ears until the curse OF
slavery shall be removed from this fair
land CaicaQo Democrat.

Southern Gratitude

Speaking of the unceremonious manner
in which the South threw Messrs. Pierce

New York Herald remarks:
"Was there ever SO Impressive a lesson?
What was the "enormity of Austrian ingrat-
itude" in comparison with thisi Now, for
whom has the South deserted her champ
one! Assuredly, one might suppose, for
some cniyalrous son of her own, 10 whose
temper and courage she can rely at this
great crisis; for some man with a heart OF
steel and q tongue Of FIRE, who will do bat
tie in her cause with more steady faithful
ness than Pierce, and more valiant ardor
than Douglas. Pshaw! the man the South
mas chosen 10 an old gentleman, who was in
t e prime Of life when the Missouri Compro-
mise was passed, thirty-six years ago; who
helped TO pass il then, and agrees to it's re-
peal now, a calculating, prudent old gentle.
man, who never Offences anybody, nor CON-
mits errors Of tactics; who has gone through
life with a cool eye to the main chance, hsv-
ing no particular opinions and no particular
principles, ano Zoo particular prejudices that
could stand in the way Of his advancement,
and who, on all occasions and at all crises,
has been so cold, so canny and SO cunning,
that now at the close Of bis long life he has
not an enemy and he has not a friend.
This is the man the chiyalrous south has
chosen in preference 10 men who had sacri.
need all for her. All what a world Of In
suachon there Is in the report OF that Gin

prompts southern editors 10 vent their sour.
