trOm the New YORK Heraid' NOW ..
large and enthusiastic meeting of the " Mozart
Hall" wing of the Democratic party Of New York
was held on yesterday evening to ratify the nomi'
nations of the party leaders.
NJ. Chatfeld in the course Of his remarks OBJ
served:
This meeting tonight, this room filed to its ut
most cRpaCity with the freemen of their country,
admonsh me that as yet these people have not for
gotten that they have right to guard and interest to
protect, and that they live under constitution, and
are under obedience to laws formed under that
constitution. Thank God. gentlemen, we have yet
q country to care for. We have yet constitution
that is the supreme law Of the land believe that
yet, although the aspect Of things dark enough
the principles of that party viii bring this couary
out of its peril.
1 am not prepared to say thst they wiu restore
this country TO It's prosperous condition before
these troubles began, because en- not so blind as
not to see that the Termination CT our present dill
Guilty may be that our country may be left pros
trate, loaded with debt and desolate with the
death Of our loved ones who have gone 10 the wars
TO protect US.
am not here to inquire into the causes of this
war. have the satisfaction of knowing that the
great party to which belong has never been Abo-
litionists in its sentiments.
have the satisfaction of kno wing that 20 one of
that great family has ever thought more Of the
black man than the white man.
None Of us, gentlemen, not one is responsible for
the utterance and predominsnc9 of those sentiments
which lie at the foundation OF this great secession
movement
this spot, and elsewhere all over the country, we
admonished those who have precipitated this coun
try into its present perils that if they carried into
effect the principles uttered at Chicago that civil
war must necessarily follow. But the spirit of Alb
olitionism seemed to prevail They said to us, "Oh
they dare not fight" And gang of men paraded
these streets night after night proceeded by torches
they were called Wide Awakes." In answer to
these Rdmonitions of the Democratic party they
said to us, what if they do fight?n 1--WE can whip
the South before the breakfast bell and all creation
after dinner Gentlemen, where are those "Wide
Awakes' now? Go search your army. Go to the
van Of that army. Go TO the situations most ex
posed, and most dangerous. Go to the Maryland
YOU will search in VAN for any of those valorous
"Wide Awakes."
l do not say this by way of encouragement. If
the war IS necessary, and Is now upon US IN Gods
name let US prosecute it. Instead of that what is
the spectacle? What will be the history of the next
six months? We will commence with the oloriaus
victory of Bethel from there we will go to Vienna
and from there to Bull Run, thence to Chickamsco-
mac, and from there to the last place the name Of
which do not remember, and there you will find
all these splendid victories that not only will make
US removed at home, but removed abroad.
What did hear to-day as coming from the Com
mander-in Chief of the United States forces-from
Gen. Mcclellan? That he dare not fight on the
Potomac. So that we shall have no more battles
l trust this Fall.
We have noWE got in the field some five hundred
thousand men, who have congregated about Wash
ington and vicinity, and this array has to be sup
ported at an expense of two millions and half
day, and yet We are to have no battles this Fall
Why? Because the Commander in Chief said he
dare not fight. Now, gentlemen, what is the English
of all this Why that this country will in the first
place, be placed under heavier load of debt than
any country on the face of the earth. And, in the
next place, gentlemen, there is nothing more sure
in my mind-the sun is not more certain to rise to-
morrow-than the independent nationally of the
Confederate States of America will be recognized by
England and France and other European nations
in less than six months.
