Mr. MoKEON's SPEECH AT THE 'LAhn
MEETING.

-, .,..a 70, the whole Of this ffcech, we give
the following extracts - .,.,.ao,,.
~. McKyox said that the President had unnonpt-
\, o desire to see Mr.. Clark elected, put the people
.ouM not crafty the President The nominating COM
,;ttec which presented the opponent OF Mr. CLARK 20
.he electors OF this District, was composed o. once
Ssr. ond another Federal oceholder To- be
their representative in place of tried servant who has
,sdccusd his pledge To his constituents, unawed by the
frowns and unseduced by the patronage of the Pres
dent. Horace r. Clark has lost the confidence Of
James Buchanan, but ho has won the hearts Of every
man in his District who admires moral courage and
fidelity to principle Ii is proud spectacle to witness
one man of independence struggling against power.
But ,ipce the issue has been made, who can doubt
What will be the result in struggle between the will
of the President and the independence Of the repre-
sentative The voice Of the people will be heard
ringing in clarion tones in denuncation Of the attempt
10 ostrscise all honest representative Rebellion has
broken on, in the ranks Of the Democracy. Already
The managers of the party machinery cannot control
the masses Native citizens-adOptea citizens refuse
10 obey commands. With pleasure have seen The
FrumaR's Journal and The Lr'sh NeTs, both repre-
sentative papers, denounce the efforts to sacrifice
Clark and Haskins. The latter mas within the last
twentyfour hours proclaimed its determination TO aid
both Clark and Haskins in their election, and in the
following language rebukes the President:

Yes fellow-ctzens, the President now stands before
the bar OF the public opinion ofthe Country arrasned
for violation Of his solemn pledges to sustain the peo
pie of Kansas in the right to frame such Consttu-
ton as they desire; for violation at the Cincinnati
resolutions under which he was nomnated-oi his In
augural-of his own instructions to Gov. Walker to
defend the people in their rghts-for treason to the
great principles Of republican government, the right
Of people to governfor organizing system OF cor
rupton by means of the Federal patronage-oi sys-
TEN Of terror and prescription, which is Intended TO
sacrifice every feeding of pereonal independence-to
compel representatives to echo the sentiments of the
President not of the people whose surages they have
received. He stands charged with an unwarraDtable
Interference in municipal and in State ehars--wth
bringing to bear the whole power of the Government
by means of his Jsnnsaries in Office to crush ont any
representative in Congress who has dared to resist
him in his efforts TO destroy the rights of Freemen
IxPENsEs OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS.
While we charge the President with a violation OF
the great principle OF Democratic government in rea-
tiop to Kansas let us also inquire how has he re-
deemed the pledge Of the Democratic party to the
country, that the Administration should be conducted
on principles Of strict economy! lie has most fla.
granty violated that doctrine. No Administration of
the Government has ever been so eXtravagdnt. In
time of war with foreign powers the United states
never expended SO much money as Mr.. buchanan mas
since he took charge of the Government
To me, it is a surprise that any man should stand
up before this community and attempt 10 deehu the
Administration their economy. 1t Is true, that Mr.
Cocbrane in the face Of the Democrats before Con-
grese SAYS, that the expenses will not exceed
$6006j, 600 No man, except one, who IN the pres
epce of civilized community has said publicly that
the "dev incarnate should be sustained if regularly
nominated, could attempt to deny that the Admins
traton Is reckless beyond all precedent in its expen
ditures. Let refer to documents To settle this ques
ton. have them here for examination. by state
ment of receipts expenditures and appreciatons pre-
sented to The Senate at last session. 1t appears that
