scarcely worthy be considered in comparison with

tlc question OF Slavery has this Administration Hhde
itc Il al ie4 II the most deserved rebuke. IL inan-
c.al policy has been most disastrous, and liz mode
Of d. posing Of the public fund most INSCRIPTIONS
and corrupt. Cheers. These practices are 20 no.
f. rious that is unnecessary for me to dwell upon
them. Cheers The result Of the recent election in
PENNSYLVANIA is pregnrnt with agreeable information
for when the leading measure OF the Administration

circumstance the State which boasts that IT Is
the birthplace and the home Of the Presl-
dent and whose measures il would If posi-
BILE approve and have them approved by all,
he rltuke is of tremendous force and the
and the encouragement afforded by il To those holding
Onr opinions equally signal. Applause. fennsyl-
wanna has declared herself dspeased with those meas
ures, and expressed disapprobaton IN no Ambiguous
or moderate terms. Other states, too have borne
similar testimony but the dsapprObatiOn OF Pennsyl-
wanna comes with overwhelming force to the Admin
tratOn while il encourages and gives confidence to
the Opposition in a corresponding degree Applause
This occasion, gentlemen, is 20 ordinary one, as Is
evidenced by the atendancethe great number OF our
distinguished guests before you. And caDnot better
consult your feelings, the proprey OF the OCCASION
than by Withdrawing to give you an opportunity to
listen to eloquent instruction from them. Loud and
prolonged cheering
Mr.. PEABODY then introduced the Hon. a. II. DvES,
from Chemlng, who received with three cheers
and a tiger. Mr.. DvES said that he regarded this as
a most imp ,rtant crisis in the country Tne contest
in which we are now engaged is between Slavery and
Frecdom-between universal Freedom and universal
Slavery Were there other issue before the people
than the mere election of State officers 1t might not
he necessary to convene such an assembage this;
but il is q question far more important. Ii lies within
the power Of the voters of New-fOrk City 10 settle
this quo ton nov, and to put I" everlasting confusion
the enemies of Freedom. Mr. Owen said he Thought
he saw augury of success-and if the City of New
York should be redeemed the cup of his political cX-
pectations would be full. Is not there Intelligence
enough to redeem this great city Cries Of - Yes"
YES ~ He said that in 1856 waited anXiousy to
lear from pcrnsy Ivan. We beloved that all the Free
States would then array themselves against the pru-
l
were subversiou Of the principles of Liberty put
forth in the Declaration of Independence. Bat
we were sadly disappointed. Yet there is an
apology for Pennsylvania. II was proclaimed
throughout that State that the triumph OF the
Democratic party would be the triumph OF Free
dom in Kansas and the platform of the Democratic
party was construed into declaration for free Tom.
But all these pretenses have been stripped IRON
the party, and they stand before the country IN all
their naked delormy, declaring that the Com tituiion
Of this country is an instrument Ia perpetuate slavery
When the Supreme Court of the United States gave
their decision IN the Dred Scott case, there was one
thing in which they all agrced-that was declaration
against Popular Sovereignty. II has been said thai
the Republican arty have declared in favor of Squt-
ter Sovereignty But have done nothing of the
kind; we have only said that the people of the Terri
tories shall have the right 10 govern themselves.
lCheers We have tried to prevent the introduction
d don este institution called, into the Terri
tOres--a system utterly subversive Of the rights OF
man. The President has Endorsed the decision of the
supreme Court and in his very first message declared
that Slavery existed in Kansas by virtue of the Cor
stituii,n. lie the President declares that II would
be unjust TO allow the Northern men TO 90 their with
their property in horses and cattle and not allow the
Southern men to GO their with their property in slaves.
Bat man cannot hold property in his fellow-m.n:
Tie right Of property in cattle and horses Is derived
from God, and the right of man to enjoy liberty aud
the pursuit of happiness is derived from the same
source. These principles written the hearts oi
men, and no statutes or IN can ever cflace them.
Yet do not wish TO interfere with those States who
choose to hug this viper TO their BOSOM When the
compact was formed with these States We agreed
To let them have their way in this matter, far
as they theseNes were concerncd and by that agree
ment he would abide. lie said that we were told that
the Kansas question was settled. but he warned the
Democrats not TO lay that nattcrng JUNCTION To- their
souls; as long a. the Government per1st in forcing
Slavery On the Territories So long viii there be
shrek for freedom Cheers. The battle will not be
till Kansas shall take her place beside her sister
