SPEECH OF HON. AMAPA J. PARKER.
Mr Parker, on coming forward. was greeted w.th cheers.
Be said: Fellow citizens, 1 appear before you on your in
vitation, not for the purpose of speaking at all of the
?audidHtes that are before the public for offl-:e, and cer
tainly not of those who are my own competitors for the
executive chair. If 1 wero to speak of them at all, it could
?nly he In termR of high personal respect. But I come here
to discharge a higher duty. 1 come for tho purpose or dis
cussing, very briefly, a few of the questions in which we all.
as citizens of this country and as inhabitants of this State.
feel a particular interest. I shall not discuss them at the
laagth which their importance might warrant me in doing
Because I am to be followed by other S|>eakerr, and I do not
w ish to monopolise too much of the lime of (his assembly,
h is certain, gentlemen, that wc could not moot for a more
Cilotk purju se than tnul of discussing and understand
perfectly these great questions of national concern;
and if there Is any spot in our St Ate where a man con he
most moved by feelings of patriotism it Is here?here in
your own town, on the banks of the Hudson?in the town
which is connected with so many remiucsccnces of the
Revolution: where treason was discovered, and from near
to whore the traitor fled. Two years ago, gcntlcmcD,
there occurred in this country of ours one of the mo:<t
warmly contest*I elections that has ever taken place in
?ur history. Vou cannot have forgotten that occasion?I
trust never will forget it, because we should learn from
It a lesson with regard to our future action. It was a tnno
ef groat excitement. The North was intensely excited.
Fanaticism seemed to rule tie- day. Men became wild on
the question of slavery, which was brought into the can
?see. It was one of the closest, as it w.v one of the most
?aportant, elections th.it ? v. r mviirrol Happily, the e\
cttcmcut of that day has passed away. The questions
therein involved have been disposed of, and we are now
at lltmrty to look ha* k on those questions more calmly
than we could look at them (hen. to understand their
true character and to profit by them In the political
opinions that io ?? to \ . i ii ? !.???-.,;i. i At lh.it cm--,
gentlemen, all the free Stales of the North were excited,
and the feelings of the people were carried away ou th:s
quest kill of slavery, which had been ungenerously
brought into the canvass That quest sat had

the people themselves or by Congress?g body I
which they people of a Territory hare uo representative

tlon of power between Congress and the people That was
ta truth, the only real question involved in the struggle.
M happened that that question concerned slavery but it
might as well have concerned anything else Mnppnee
that it had beeu some other domestic question, wlv I ?
people of a TVrntory claimed the right of pusiwet :ng. and
determining for themselves, slid suppose that Congress
had attempted to usurp that right and undertaken to de

rsnce of opinion about It. All parties would have agreed
(hat it would be a usurpation on llic part of Congrest to
deterinine such a domestr question, and that it sliouM In*
Isft to the people themselves. Bui it happened to be the
question of slavery, a subject in regard to which we at
(he North have strong prejudices, and in which the South
lecls deeper interest than she does in all orbers. Tli -c

grout, the question of slavery would bo carried into every
Congressional district in tho Union every eecood year,
when room bore of Congress were to be olected, and would
Bet the people of the district at war with each other, agitat
ing olid disturbing them. It seems to mo, gentlemen,
that no candid and fair man, no matter to wliat party bo
belongs, will deny that Congress is an unlit body to which
to entrust the exercise of this power; or that the people of
the Territory aro precisely tho proper persons to pa n
upon it. If you say that tho people of the Territory are to
decide the question for themselves, then the moment they
pass upon it the whole difficulty is ended If, there
fore. you would secure peace to tho country, if you
wouid perpetuate the Union, if you would make
tho whnfo country great and glorious and prosperous,
as wc all hope to see it, then by all means adopt
tho courso that shall terminate questions of this kind
us often as they may arise, in a mode which will create
the least excitement and the least bitterness among
people who happen to reside in dilforcut portions of tho
Union.
At this point Gen. Ward suggested that as the people
at the meeting could not get a full view of the speaker,
owing to the manner in which the stand was built and
festooned, he should stand u|>ou a chair while addressing
them. Mr. Parker tried t > t arry out that idea, but found
that it only made the matter worse, as it brought his head
within a few inches of the folds of a Hag. Some voices
called to him to take down the llag, but Mr. Parker said:
" No, gentlemen, I cannot tear down the American flag.''
This happy remark brought down rouuds of applause;
and, instead of taking down the llag, he pinned it higher
up, which caused lien. Wiard afterwards to remark tliat
the Governor had gallantly nailed the cotors to the roast
head. Th.s pleasing little episode over, Mr. Parker con
tinued ?
I think that this great question has hor n settled for all
time to come by the result of the late Presidential election.
A leading republican orator from a neighboring ritats con
ceded it, the other day, to be so. lie said that for ril'ty
years to come they would never be able to get Congress
to pass an act excluding slavery from a Territory when it
was to l>e admitted. That is virtually couceding that the
people in the election of James Buchanan decided that
great question. But, gentlemen, there are other subjects
connected with this matter to which, perhaps, I ought to
advert. You well recollect the storms and difficulties that
so. med to accompany everything done in Kansas. I do
not stop here now for the purpose of going back to show
who created these difficulties. Neither will I stop Pi dis
cuss the propriety of the Kiuigraot Aid Societies of the
East in interfering as they did, and sending out rifles;
nor, on the other hand, the propriety of the border ruf
fians of Missouri interfering. All
ng All interference from
any quarter and from every quarter is against
tho rule of tho democratic party. Their rule is
non-intervention in this matter. (Cries of "good.")
Their platform is that Congress is not to interfere at all
with the people of a Territory, but Ihst they shall bo per
mitted to exorcise their right of self government to llio
fullest extent. Any interference, therefore, whether it
comes from one side or the other, is a violation of demo
cratir principles. 1 certainly do nut justify it at all. Nor
will 1 speak here of the violence or frauds committed in
Kansas, nor of the great fraud by which atrocities were,
for political ctfect, represented as having been committed,
which never were committed. I [hiss by all this, it has
nothing to do with the principle involved. Tho simple
question is whether the people (hall be let alone entirely
to vote as they please, uninfluenced and unbiassed by in
terference from any quarter. N*>w. gentlemen, thiK ques
Mm ha" been OHM M by Congress t<> the HQ
pie. Tlie Is-conipton constitution was presented to
Congress, and niter a great struggle, in which
the friends of popular sovereignty differed, it re
sulted in the constitution being sout back to the people.
The people have since parsed upon it, and voted without
interference from any quarter; and a very large portion?
a vast majority of the people?were found op;ioM-d to the
existence of slavery there. Tins question, therefore, is
settled in regard to Kaunas. It cannot arise agatu. The
moment the people were let alone and |)crmittcd to come
torward quietly and calmly to vote, all agitation ceased.
They spoke lor themselves" and settled the question. Wc
01 li.i North, gentlemen, never doubled how tlu-y would
settle that question. Made up as Kansas was, or emigrant*
from the North and not from the Booth, we never should
have doubted that It would become a free State. We
knew perteetly well that those who were most exeeedtngly
auxious for Kansas to be a free State could entrust the
matter to no body ol men more Itkcly to make it free
than the people of Kansas themselves, because they came
from the Irce blahs of the North and cari led with litem
their hostility to slavery. We predicted at the time that
It would result in making Kansas a free State, and sueh has
been tie result. Ata;r exprcaslon of the will of the people
has been given against the introduction of slavery into
the State, and that shows thai we were right in another
1*1,ul of vM-w?that it was not uo? ss.u y to go to Cwugrcs
to exclude slavery?tliat tor those who wished its exclu
son there rould be no safer tribunal than the people
themselves, who have at last voted to make it a free
State Thosetw ho diltered with us will say yet that we were
r.ght (m this question we regretted exeeedtngly to nee a
portion of the democracy ot the Stab go oil and "vote with
the republican party. They were misled on that question
But nnw| that the struggle has passed by and that we can
look back calmly at it. and judge dispassionately, 1 am
satisfied that there are thousand" of them w ho w ill come
back again and art with ua. Many will admit their er
ror, and will say that after all it was a question tor the
people, and that that right of the people should not have
been interfered with, that ofler all it wo* for the greater
good of the country, and that is not to be lost Right of.
And they will be more careful in the future, 1 trust, bow

Kansas. Wo have been governing Kansas and not go

return to our own State and look a little to our own
afluirs, in which we all have a very groat interest.
If you will muke uso of those moments ol repose to look
back at the legislation of the last few years, you will find
that liiere is amide room for interference ami reform.
The democrats claim a strict eou-truction of the constitu
tion. It is a cardinal rule of their faith that the consti
tution shall be construed strictly. In tlilR they differ from
their tppQBMtSt and now if you look over your statute
books, with the statutes in one hand and the constitution
in the other, you will see that luws have been passed in
open defiance of the constitution The constitution is mode
for the protection of the citizen against the I s-g mixture;
and yet you hear it couiplumed of on every side that un
constitutional luwsurc passed. For the city of New York
a Police bill hus been imssed, which, if not a violation, is
certuinlv an evasion of the constitution, ily it men are
placed in power who are not chosen by the people of the
city and arc not responsible to the peopl of the city
for their acts. And this is but one of a series
of acts of usurpation on the part of tho
legislature against the citizens of New York.
1 need not stop to enumerate tbern particularly. It is
enough to say that the public mind should bo direct
ed to this subject to see whether it is not noccsHury to
use extraordiuaiy care to prevent a recurrence of these
matters.
Mr. Parker proceeded to discuss the question of th?
canals. lie did so at considerable length, advocating the
completion and extension of the canals, and then placing
them in a condition of the highest |>osslblc adequacy,
and arguing against the policy of alienating them or dis
posing of them for the benefit of any corporation.

The Morrlmtey and Ileennn Fight.
MORIUSs'EY NOT INJt'KKO?EXCITEMENT AMONG THE
FANCY.
The report in circulation yesterday that John Morrissey,
the pugilist, bud met with an accident while Attempting to
escape from an officer at Buffalo, caused intense excite
ment among the '? sports" In the city, and many of the lead
Ing rendezvous of the friends of Morrissoy were overrun
by those anxious to learn if there was any truth in the
report. During the morning there was no person found
who could give any information as to the truth of the ru
mor, but one or two of his leading friends immediately
telegraphed to Buffalo, anil It is said they shortly received
an answer that there wns 110 foundation for the report,
and that Morrissi y was In perfect trim and ready for tho
light. One despatch was as follows:?
UlTFALO, Oct. 18,1858?1:46 P. M.
John Morrissoy is in good spirits, and has met with no
accident.
It is said that the report was got up with a view of keep
ing back the friends of Morrissey from the light. This,
however, did not have much effect, as the live clock
train by tho Kric and Hudson River railroads, it ell a
the Albany boats, took out kotwoen two and tl 0 k
dred last evening. Heenan and Morrissey, from inform.;
tion received by telegraph, are said to be both in saf 1
quarters in Canada, about forty miles from buffalo. Two
steamers leave buffalo at ten o'clock to night to toko on
the friends of the pugilists. Tho light will take place at
Long Point Island, about eighty live miles from Buffalo.
TELEGRAPHIC.
Bittai/). Oct. 18, 1868.
The coming fight betweqn Heenan and Morrissey causes
the greatest excitement among the "fancy." Tho city is
probably fuller of bruisers now than ever before, and
delegations continue to arrive by every train. Notorious
sporting characters are here from Havana. New Orleans,
California, and all tho large Northern cities. Both Mor
rissey and Heenan are reported to lie in excellent
heath and spirits, and "ouger for tho fray."
The fight will take place near I/ing Point, Canada. Hoe
nan's seconds are Aaron Jones and Johnny Mackey, and
Morrissey's arc Dublin Tricks and Australian Kelly. The
betting is even.
A fight came off to day at Point Albino between two
lesser lights of the pugilistic fraternity?Hootty, of Brook
lyn, and Barney Aaron. It resulted in a victory to Scotty
Barney giving him a foul blow. They fought ten rounds
in Qfteeu minutes.

The Irish commercial (lag from the ladies of New York
was presented yesterday to Captain Waters, of the %li"'<>
Albert, on the occasion of his departure for Galwuy. The
steamer Massac huseets was chartered for the purpose of
accompanying the Albert down the bay; and after she
touched at several piers, where she received an overflow
ing complement of imssengers, a bond of music and two
pieces <jf artillery, she steamed up to where the Prince
Albert tfas lying at her pier in the North River. The Mas
EXckuFetts had an Irish flag at her peak. and the American
banner floated over her prow. Among her passengers wan
Miss Teresa K?monde, of Brooklyn, the young lady who
had promised to present the flag to the captain of the
Albert. Cn Hearing the pier at which tho 1'rince Albert
lay, sbe was greeted by three loud cheers from tho thou
sands who hail assemble,1 around the vessel on the adja
cent piers, and by the numerous iiasaengerH and crew of
the Prmco Albert herself. This was re?j?oiid>-.l to by
three hearty cheers from the Massachusetts, and a salute
of twenty-one guns. TIm Prlace Albert was gaily de< ksd
In burning, both below and aloft, displaying on her miz
zen Rogers' American code of signals, and on her fore
and mainmasts the flags of muuy nations. She salutod
the Matsa' kuecUs by dipping her ensign and firing a ua
bonal salute.
The Ktcumidilp Inunn Empire, another of the tialway
veneris, wus also lyiug at her pier, and took part m th"
ctftonitl. Bh e wus gaily dressed in bunting aim), an
hauled out to a conspicuous position at the head of h?

which nit itat ion* had tieen extended *ccoiii|iaiiy the
escort down the harbor. At two o'clock tbe Prince Albert

In accordance with tlio call publiHhoU in the Her a id of

respectability, it wns one of the most successful meetings
which has been held this season, and augurs mo?t favora

The meeting wns organized by the appointment of Mr
Joel It. Fox as President, after which Colonel Harrison
introduced General Hiram Walbrtdge, who was received
with the most enthusiastic demonstrations of applause.
When silence was restored he addressed the masses.
After speaking at length on the issues involved in the ap

canal enlargement and a revision of our State constitution,
General Waihhiwik remarked:?
