-AAsscAscoh 1unss meeting In TmUnOeIpmias
The American mass meeting In Philadelphia, on
Tuesday evening, was grand outpouring of the
people Of that great city.
The News thus refers to Il;
If there had been any doubt of the sentiment of
Philadelphia in respect to the nomination of Nil.
lard Fillmore for the Presidency, and of Andrew
Jackson Donelson for the Vics Presidency, that
doubt would have been dispeied by the demonstra-
ton OF last night. II Is rarely that moro crafty
Ing spectacle is presented TO the lover of bis
Countrywide whole country--than the sponta-
neous gathering Of the people 70 ratfy the nomina-
tions OF two of her most distinguished sons-who
have always been among the frimest supporters of
the constitution-for the highest Offices In their
gift Especially Is It gratifying at this time, when
sectionalism Is rampant, and the effort is being
made TO array one portion of the country against
the other. All sections Of our great and glorious
city were represented. Rishmend and Kensngton
came down in their might Old Penn and beauti-
ful Spring Garden sent forth their thousands--the
cradle OF Democracy, as the Northern Liberties
was wont TO be called, was not behind them. The
" city" too, was about, and every true Southwark
gave her fall quota to the ranks Of the constitu-
tional guard And last. Moyamensing and Pass
yunk were fifty represented. No man Of observa-
tion could fail to perceive the marked difference
between the men who composed the meeting of
last night, and those who made up the gathering
OF the opposition. They were Americans in heart
and feeling with full consciousness Of the respon-
sibility resting upon them. There were the mo-
chanic, the merchant, the itist and the manufac-
turer-men of all trades and occupations--with
none OF the paupers from abroad.
Henry White, Esq, an old friend Of Henry Clay,
presided at the main stand, assisted by forty-eipht
Vice Presidents. There we're four stands, with a
President and forty-eight Vice Presidents at each
The first speaker at the main stand was that elo-
quent and faithful standard-bearer of the American
flag among the mountains of Virginia, the Hon
JoHS S. CARLILE, whose speech % thus reported
in the Philadelphia News;
My Countrymsn--for 70 are my countrymen,
and thank my God that we are yet one people
am glad to meet you here in Independence
Square, in the city Of Brotherly Love, the land Of
Penn. feel that II Ii good for W. to be here. We
may reason together, and although live south of
Mason and Dixon's line, and you reside north of
it, our interests in this country are identical and
cannot be separated Voices, That's So" and
applause.
am no alarmist am one Of those who be-
lieye in the patriotism and in the intelligence Of
the people of this free country, and / never will
believe that any portion Of my country much less
any portion of Penn's land, viii contribute either
directly or indirectly to the dismemberment of this
glorious Union Of ours, Applause
know something Of Pennsylvania. II was my
fortune to acquire portion of my education In
your own State, and / love Pennsylvanians wher-
tver see them. / know that tonight may pos
sibly advance to you some reasons why you should
not support your " favorite son." as Mr.. Buchanan
has been termed but you will recollect that he Ia
no longer James Buchanan. He tells you so him
self
He dares not open his mouth, because, says he
. am the Cincinnati nominee" [Laughter and
applause
This is not contest between individuals. But
Fix short years ago this country was rocked from
its centre to its circumference. Clay was then
alive; [applause. Calhoun, with all his Southern
feelings, but still with national heart was alive
[renewed applause. Webster, that "great ex-
FOUNDER" "the godlike Webster" was alive
Applause. @
And by the united and hearty cooperation Of
these great men, representing the sentiment Of
this great country, peace was restored, and all
danger Of disunion dissipated. Both the great
political parties of this country pledged themselves
to abide by that settlement; but, in the meantime,
old issues had passed away, parties were beginning
to dissolve, and the days of Monroe were about
to be restored to this happy country. 81.
Democracy saw the handwriting upon the wall,
and the little men at the head of the government,
who were willing TO risk their countrys peace, and
its very existence determined to turn their backs
upon those pledges and upon this sectional agita
ton. There are men, North and South, who are
so restless so ambitious that they would sever the
tie that binds these States together, in the hope
that they might occupy more conspicuous place
in 1t than they do; and the Democratic party, for
the purpose Of "crushing OUT the American
heart-for the purpose of sitting this great Amer
ican movement, which has for It's foundation :" the
cultivation Of an intense American feeling, and an
ardent love for the American Union," so that, un.
less they could "crush it out" they would be
"crushed out" themselves-thr in this apple Of
discord. a'
Northern fanatics, Southern agitators work 1t up
for the purpose of splitting the American people,
who had determined In their heart of hearts"
that Americans should rule America and en-
deavored (for they have not yet been successful }
to divide this great country by a geographical
line /; and am told as a Southern man that
must accept the issue rendered me by the Black
Republicans Of the North, and sink all my judg-
ment and honest convictions patriot aud go
for James Buchanan because the whole North is
going for John G. Fremont. l don't believe
word of il.
Why, are not the Northern people possessed
of as much patriotism as claim for my sectionf
Are they not as intelligent any other portion Of
the people of this country Now, Is there man
in this large crowd who has talked Of bestowing
his suffrage In November noxt upon John c. Free
mont ! ask him to say why he could not Just
as well vote for Kit Carson laughter and ap-
pause, If it were mere question between men;
but this is not question between men.
III am sincere in anything, / am sincere when
cay TO you that If these Northern fanatics, as
term them, should succeed in the accomplishment
Of their purpose, and elect to the Presidential
chair John Q. Fremont, neither you nor would
see another Presidential election In this coun-
try. Voices, "Never, never."l Never-never.
How would be obtain it BY Northern votes, and
Northern votes alone. Mr.. Fillmore has very spty
illustrated it when he put il to his own people of
his own State, Do you expect him to fill all the
offices, North and South with Northern men
