The National Intelligencer, always cir
cumspect as to what il says regarding men
and things, speaks of Mr.. Donelson in the
following fattering terms: -........
He is man of talents and Of some expe-
rience in public affairs, having represented
the country abroad both at Berlin and
Frankfort. He was member of General
Jackson's family and once leading member
Of the Democratic party, but his career has
been marked by great political independence
evincing integrity and patriotism. ,..
Mass Meeting Of the Know Nothings.
The rotunda of the Court House was lit
orally crowded last evening from pit TO
dome. 1t was, we think, by all odds, the
largest gathering we ever saw in the build
ing. ''
Gen Nathan Ranney was called 10 the
chair, after which thirteen Vice Presidents
were appointed, as follows: John Andrews,
B. J. Van Court, James Harrison, DR.. B. F
Edwards, John Sexton, ]. C. Norris, SOL
Smith, Washington King, DIR. Spaulding,
/ DR.. Shore, DR.. S. w. Adreon, John T.
Douglas and John F. Long; and Oliver
Harris and w. H. Bowen Secretaries.
The chairman, Gen. Ranney, then rose
and spoke as follows:
AMERICANS: We are here, not as North
ern men from the North-not as Southern
men from the South-but as Union men Of
the United States. We meet to give a
hearty sanction to the Philadelphia nomina-
tion Of President and Vice President.
We have had but one Washington and
Jackson, one Webster and Clay, and but
one Calhoun.
Fillmore and Donelson are common men
but they are good men-the best in the U.
Mon. A better, stronger, a more suita-
bic nomination cannot be made by any party
nor one better calculated to succeed. Three
times in my life | have rejoicsd with ex
ceeding great joy; first, when in 1914, a
Plattsburgh, / 400 Americans defeated
$4,000 of Lord Wellngton's best troops.
Second-When my State pride triumph
ed in the repeal OF the odious Missouri
Compromise. . .....
: A fanatical Congress forced upon us un
constitutional conditions, and violated sol
f emn treaty. Men of Missouri were thu
make like the "seventh son." or like tn
step daughter. All the other Western
: States were admitted as equals. Well do
c remember the storm Of Indignation here Of
d. that occasion. But | can now say to m.
! neighbors of Illinois, too, am q citizen of
7 sovereign State; the right of my State is n
: longer bound with chain of adamant, com
: paratively. 1t is not that care for SLAYER
e it is State sovereignty. The $70,000,00
of slave property in the State cannot com
: pensate for the loss of State rights.
The Constitution must be preserved fror
$ violation. The 81 100000 of slave pror
: eriy is nothing, compared with the worth {
t ihe Union. Aye, can the ten thousand mill
' ions of property in the world purchase
K us the fame of Westinghouse the memor
; of Yorktown--of Monmouth-of Saratog
t --or Of Plattsburgh and New Orleans? M
o the Union must--it shall it will be saved
!, The nation looks 10 us for IFS safety. TIL
= good men of the North will help us, an
/ our prospects are good. We take no ste
backward; our platform is the Constitutio
| and the rights of the States.
Y The Christian who throws away his Bill
has noreigion. The American who throw
away the Constitution has no country. A
t mericans-let our party do right, and ac
S right, if tbs Heavens fsll.
/; The third time Of my i~, was at III
: nomination OF Fillmore and Donelson. Nj
!, reasons are, that the nominees are worthy
S that the country looked for such men, wit
# the determination to elect them. "
At the conclusion of General Ranney
G speech, Mr.. Charles S. Tilson read the 70
II lowing resolutions, which were adopted:
