The Bulletin informs US that the crowd that as
sembled TO pledge anew their devotion TO the
Union and the Constitution, one OF the largest
ever assembled for political or any other purpose
in New Orleans. The streets on both sides Of the
Neutral Ground, the Neutral Ground ITSELF and
the sidewalks on each side, as well as the balconies
Of the houses were crowded by dense mass Of the
solid men of New Orleans-the bone and sinew of
its enterprise, its intelligence, its wealth, and its
patriotism. 1t was glorious, q magnificent out
pouring Of the Old Line Wings, and win send a
thrill of delight through tho hearts Of the lovers Of
the Union, wherever they may reside, East or
| West, North or South.
On the canvass, at the rear Of platform, were
| the words: "The Wing party Of the United States
is the Life Guard of the Union foreverln
The meeting was addressed by II. T. Hays, j.
NJ. Chiffon, G.. B. Duncan, Colonel A. p. Field,
and Governor Roman. The latter spoke substan-
italy as follows; -
am happy to be surrounded by the friends
cooperated with many years since. The Wing
party has ceased for season, but its principles
cannot die, because they are mmutable and i'm
mortal They will last as long as we are worthy
of them. They animated Washington and Madison
when they recommended attachment to the Union
Of the States. They animated Clay and Webster,
II IA and hap thovo dy
ted the Compromise measures of 1850. The same
principles animated Fillmore when the country
was quieted by the administration of model Pre-
| sdent. At the end of his administration we were
happy at home and respected abroad Peace and
good viii existed. In this state Of things the De-
mocracy came into power. Now everything is
changed The passage of the Nebraska bill, which
the South did not require, has reopened the slave
ry question, and this has raised up the Black Re-
publcans, by which the existence Of the Union is
threatened. We are in the midst of civil war
What is the remedy? The Old line Wings must
apply it. They have resolved to do it, to march
shoulder to shoulder to the support of the Consti-
tuition and the Union. They have resolved to sup
port the candidate whose principles assimilate
more nearly to their own than those of any other.
They cannot vote for Mr.. Buchanan their oppo-
nent who has endorsed the admin istration Of Gen.
Pierce and squatter sovereignty and platform
which does not draw q line between patriotism and
priyateering Mr. Fillmore's principles are sub
stantally Wing principles, as he had referred to
his administration as shadowing forth the princi-
Piles by which he would be guided If he should be
elected. He deserves the name of the Second
Washington.
The Wing National Convention has endorsed
him, and we have met to ratify that nomination.
Mr.. Filmore's chance is every day becoming bet
ter. If the elections in Pennsylvania Ohio, and
Indiana show Mr.. Buchanan's want of strength in
the North, Democrats here will vote for Mr. Fill
more to defeat Fremont, as would do myself
under similar circumstances and support Buchan-
an to defeat Fremont. ] admire the position ia
ken by Ex-Governor Floyd in his speech in New
York. Actuated by the same views, the Fillmore
electors of Louisiana should vote for Buchanan in
the Electoral college, if that should be found the
only means of defeating Fremont The ex-Gov-y
ernor was frequently cheered, and his address evil
IDENTITY told upon the audience. He spoke slowly
and with great elaboration, as if weighing every
word he said. s-s t,i AZ
A series of excellent resolutions were adopted,
and the meeting adjourned with the determination
to give Mr.. Fillmore the electoral vote of the
State.
