,.-e, were left for people TO pass all the time he was
liking. About twenty five hundred people were
r,c.cut' sHErmERD KSArP esq, was elected Preai-
a., and n large number Of VIce-Presidcnts and
Socre,ares were appointed. Mr.. KSAPP read a little
,reech from an Eryycss proof. He hesitated good
deol q, ,he hard words such az "transcendent and
"tbe vast coucourse Of to-day and concluded by IN
,roducipg Ex-Gov. WAsHIsCIoS HUNT, amid consid-
cradle applause.
Mr.. HuSr commenced by flourish about the
Union The force Of habit was very strong with him,
h. and and it hard for him TO break from his old
political friends. But be could not slight the call OF
duty. He then contemplated, for few minutes, the
Commercial decline Of New.lork, IN case the Chioh
was dissolved. Should sixteen OF the States OF the
Union league together for the control OF the Govern
ment Of the country, to the exclusion OF me otne'
6fteen States NO no Was this consistent WIN a
federal compact between the States NO II "0uid
lead 10 strife and anarchy, such a. the country had
never witnessed since the formation OF the ConSuntOh
The Republican ives q sectional parry DecaIse II was
formed rpon the Issue OF Slavery without reference 70
any Of the other issues before the country True tha
paIty had thrown one plank Of their original platform
away after another, until they had no'hng ieit put
Kansas But its presses poured out continual stream
of abuse upon the southern States The time nad gone
by for Judging Of party by ITS platform. lIhH SO
that's 80 Il We must look at the Observation-Disclosures
which party made use of. they had map repre-
senting the Free States in white innocence while the
land of Washington exposed in all the darkness
a heather land. This effort 70 blacken one
portion of the Union was calculated to
bring ridicule upon that porJon OF the Union
and he could have sympathy with party
which was aciuated by sentiment so different from
enlightened patriotism But, after all Mr. Hunt dld
not think thet the Union would be dissolved even II
the storm Of popular rage and fury should carry IRE
mont into the White House. Still il could not fail to
usher in four years of i'll feeling and hatred The re-
peal Of the Missouri Compromise was the cause OF ali
his lint the South was not 10 blame for that. Aud
then, If President were elected by tue Northern
States there would be slave freed; what would be
gaioed by i'll If Fremont elected how would he
enforce the laws without any moral or popular sup
port in half the Unionl II was very easy to say that
all must submit 10 the laws but we ell know that there
in the South spirit OF lnsubordnatlon WINCH
pnder such circumstances, could not be overlooked;
and if Fremont were be elected he greatly feared
that il would the spirit OF the people 81 Tue
South that Kansas would be Hooded with them,
and they would make II Slave state Dld
we believe that if the South were put down
by sectional party they would bear it ike
our country and counsel for her defense. We were
strong, and the South WIS weak. No Slavery had
been established anywhere in the United States since
fbe annexation of Texas unless it should go into
Kansas, which he hoped might be prevented If wise
and prudent policy were adopted, but not by exciting
the angry feelings of the country. Could not some
thing be done for the country to redeem 1t from the
dangers by which it was surrounded The success OF
n sixteen State party would certainly have no such
effect. Neither Col Fremont nor any man living
could advance his honor by being elevated to the
Presidential chair by any geographical party. Mr.
Hunt then turned TO Mr.. Buchanan. He didn't Ike
him. though he was national candidate, having sup
porters in every part of the Union. But he was
pledged to support the Administration ani foreign
policy which he especially did not like Mr. Hunt de-
voted forty minutes of his speech TO Fremont and four
20 Buchanan. He then proceeded to the eulogy OF
Willard Fillmore and his Admin stratioD, justiiyng Mr.
Fillmore for having signed the Fugitive Slave law.
Mr.. Hunts audience applauded the Fugitive Slave
BILL and thus ended the first hour of his speech. The
audience had diminished so fearfully not more than
thousand being left, that he said but little more The
close of his speech received, not with applause,
but with loud cries for Brooks and Ketchum. MIR.
Knapp, however, adjourned the meeting and retired;
but after few moments came back, when somebody
proposed vote of thanks to Ex-Gov. Hunt. They
were voted by the few who remained of the faithful
thousand and at 5 o'clock Wall street was tranquil.
