During the reading of the resolutions, Mr. Browne
repeatedly interrupted by the loud and continued cheers
with which the multitude received the patriotic, bold
and truly democratic sentiments which the resolutions
expressed The Hon. John Van Buren, then intro
duced and in one of those remarkably eloquent and fe
lcitous speeches for which he Is distinguished
pressed his unqualified approval Of Mr.. Buchanans adj
mnisaton enumerated with singular ability and force
the great achievements of the President and his cabinet
urged the people continue their support of eminent
ly worthy government and passed high eulogium
the exalted character brilliant public record and social
virtues of reyered Chief Magistrate. The honest
pauds of the people proved that the sentiments which
the speaker uttered their own. Mr.. Van Buren,
then exposed with cutting severity the insinccy
ruption, and selfish sectionasm of the republicans

1t is not possible for me- within the narrow limits of
letter written at this late hour midnight after the
element and fatigue of unusually exciting public
meeting to do anything like justice to the able effort OF
John Van Buren,. He was listened to throughout with
the most fixed attention and had the warm sympathy of
his audience and when he resumed his seat it is doubtful
whether the outburst of cheering the SarSpangled
Banner played by full band, the louder Of the
two.
The Hon John A. Dix followed in very able and digni-
fed speech in which he dwelt at length and with
marked success the great national questions of the
day; advocated with warmth the annexation of Cuba
and Mexico and strongly commended the course of the
President and of his cabinet.
Hon. John Kelly and number of other speakers adj
dressed the meeting until late hour when the crowd
separated with cheers for the President Amas Par
