s Alabama, the champion Of the South in the CAUSE
Of breckenridge aud Lane, arrived in the cry apon
tie invitation and as the guest OF the houis ~
Breckinridge and Lane Club. ne was ieoe,,.a a',
with distinguished honor by the Democracy Vi 'ne
city and last night the meeting TO hear i'ii 7pV"h
was convened on Canal street, as per houce ptes
vtously given. A..an, .7a3l, u, NJ
The tarront was large, Canal street and all its
avenues heirg oyerhowed by the deluge OF male
ma female humanity which had tnrned out to hear
40 DISTINGUISHED gentleman, with the fame OF
those oratorical prowess the country has been
rneipg during the stirring campaign now drawing
to its close The Black Republican journals of the
North wherever he spoke, were forced TO confess
N the power of his eloquence and to acknowledge
the rare excellence and eminence Of his fnteiec-
tual endowmenta. They could not do otherwise,
and we freely accord him the credit due to his elo-
y guence and genius.
spacious platform was erected for the accom-
mediation Of the officers of the meeting there being
d large number of Vice Presidents nominated, most
& OF whom occupied the places prepared for them. b.
d. Thornbull ESD, was President Of the meeting,
and Messrs. Joseph =. Hornor, j. d. Reynolds,
Richard 7. Nolan, Thaddeus Ripley, and f. l.
Hurley oficiated as Secretaries. The meeting was
called to order by Mr.. G. H. Braughn, with brief
and pertinent remarks, concluding with the intro
duction of Mr.. Yancey to the humanity eongre
gated before the stand.
rs Several minutes elapsed after Mr.. Yaneey came
forward before the crowd allowed him to begin,
and he did so with an appeal to the assemplage 70
I'd be as quiet as possible that he might nave a iar
hearing. He opened his address with an eloquent
exordium The times were serious, and the respon-
@ sibilities with which they were charged pressed
4 upon the heart of every good and loyal man, no
matter what the party to which he belonged. He
proposed and would endeavor to deal with the
affairs of the day in something OF the same spirit
i with which our fathers grapped with somewhat
similar emergencies It was no time, when we
were standing upon the brink Of precipice, as II
4 were, for she men Of the South to be divided. In
II the Northern States he had endeavored to shake
off the shackles Of party in the discussion Of the
momentous questions Of the day, aud to stand as
the representative of national interests. He told
ii them up North that their rights were bis rights,
that the interests OF all were common, but that il
s those rights were invaded he would stand by the
& South to the death,
d He referred to the great commercial interests
and commanding trade relations of New Orleans
v the emporium Of the South she could not be a
N sectional city, so interviewer were her interests
. dissolution, she would occupy commanding
position which would make the North, the Wes
and the nations Of Europe suppliants for her favor
Z But when free and slave States come in conflict
81 then the prosperity of New Orleans must be af
& fected by the temporary causes.
Tie Black Republicans preach that free ant
slave labor are in rrepreasihe conflict; that az
y ssntagonism which must be destructive to one Oh
lin sAS hn4 ia
Tiers were wiser than these modern philosophers
@ They believed and they organized and established
the Republic in that belief that free and slave la
Dor moved in different planes, and they framed the
Y Government accordingly, that they might no
clash they thought that they had provided slavery
with its defense for all time by constitutional enact
ments by giving il a representation in Congress
II and thus making it one Of the fundamental nstitu
# tons Of the land @"l
All the men Of the Union were made equal il
II their property rights, and this equality of tht
white man everywhere was the keystone in th'
s3@arch of the Constitution. II was the guaranty
that property recognized as property under it wa
ssnroperty everywhere within the domain of th
81 Union in which that Constitution was maintaine
or should maintain W.
Tn Pennsylvania the late election showed that TIL
majority of the people had decided against til
eouality Of the stakeholder. He was not to g
into the territories and hold species of propert
#recoruized under the Constitution. The citizen
sof the States must have equality, or each must g.
lis way and seek out safe path wherein to traye
its career of the future.
Mr.. Yaneey earnestly declared that he was 70
the Union with the Constitution, but not for TIL
Union without the Constitution in its integrity
He was not aware that he had ever taken posi-
tion against the Constitution, though he had bee
sufficiently abused for having done so. Perhap
he had not sung peans to the Constitution as ofte
~ others, and had sgnifed his unwillingness +
cling to hopelessly violated Constitution.
Who were they who threatened the violation Q
the Constitution? He proposed to confer wit
Southern men on this point. The Union was endar
i gered and how to preserve it was the question
What Southerner could look his Southern brothe
80 the face and say that the dangers of dssolutio
we're brought on by the Secessonists of the South
The danger came from the North. We might b

the North by secession from her.
He spoke of secession II was not an act of az
rression on any section 1t was not wrong perpt
N xs txated ON any section. It was simply method {
srsventing aggression upon thefaselyes.zz Th
ties had this right of secession, and it was IN
