Cincinnati Convention.
We think that every true American
Citizen who has tho interest and wel
fare of his country at heart, and who is
able to think and act independently,
without bias or fear, or favor of party
influence, bo ho Democrat, Whig,
Know Nothing, or possessing whatev
er views ho may, who will notice the
movements of the Cincinnati Conven
tion, their platform and resolutions.
will not bo required to heavily tax his
powers of discernment to discover one
uranii sham, a great show of pretend
ed nationality, in reality a mere pre
tencc, but woven, and laid as a clo&k
to hide and divort attention from the
great mass of moral and political cor
ruption there at work, for its own ben-
fit, held together by tho affinity of the
corruption, which rendered it repul
sive to all other influences of tree
principle or real issues, which would
require men to take a position and
maintain it in favor of the true inter
ests of the country without reference
to the favor or frowns of party or those
in power. In other words, that tho
wholo aim was to carefully arrange
a plan for their personal safety and
that of tho clan which has for years
been so improperly termed tho "demo
cratic party."
(Wc do not mean the mass of the
people who have been nsiiociated with
it by name, but the office holders mid
office seekers, who have in almost ev
ery instance dictated tho measures,
and so-called principles, according to
what they thought would bo most
likely to insuro their success in any
corning election, with ultrr disregard
to their future effect., whether bene
ficial rr injuri"ii.biit simidv i ftd-ip'
any measure, advocate any cause, and
ride any hobby which might for the
time being, and by excitement, seem
to meet with favor.)
We think it is plain that tho meas
ures adopted by the Cincinnati con
vention, as party measures, and a
test of democracy, whether good or
bad in whole or in part, were only in
reference to the preservation of the
party organization and their connec
tion therewith.
The whole sham might be taken up
in detail and shown to possess not a
single honestly intended vital princi
ple to preserve the whole mass from
decay within six months, should the
leaders thin it policy to discard a part
or the whole of what they have laid
and proclaimed unanimously, as the
fundamental principles of Democracy.
Whatever there may be in it of good, it
may be plainly seen, has been framed
and adopted to suit present circum
stances and emergencies merely as a
matter of policy.
We only design now to direct the
attention of honest and independent
Americans to one ortwojioints.
They first call attention to the
American movement, and then fur no
good or tangible reason under Heaven,
declare their determined opposition to
all ficcret political organizations by
whatever name they may bo called,
merely for tho purpose of preserving a
separate organization, and dividing lite
american people that they may contin
ue to be the recipients of the favor of
one of the bodicf;, and prevent tho peo
ple, as by a mandate, from rising en
masse, to think for themselves, and
adopt a healthy, and uncorruppled
system, in which they would Le una
ble! to rise to notice, ov receive the fa
vors and trusts of an intelligent auri
virtuous people.
Whether secret political organiza
tions be right or wrong, in order to test
tho sincerity of the body thus proclaim
ing its opposition to them, we only
ask candid democrats to look into the
real causes which have been at work
in moulding tho principles, and meas
ures, and policy of the party to which
they have been attached, A moro per
fectly organized system of political in
trigue has never been known than
that which has for years and in secret
been the groat motive, or rather lead
ing and dictating power of the demo
cratic party the great digestive appa
ratus in which every phase of every
event or circumstance was discussed
and considered (to what ends none but
themselves know,) and when the poli
cy and measures to be adopted and
acted upon were decided upon, they
were sent to the leaders or political
hucksters in every district, as the prin
ciples of the party and blown through
demagogues as the only solvation of the
country. These things tho knowing
ones or initiated only know. They
were secret even from the mass of the
members of the party.
And the Cincinnati convention clai
ming to be the embodiment of the
great liberal party of America, un
dertakes to "CLEARLY DEFINE ITS RELA
TION THERETO AND DECLARE ITS DETERM
INED Ori'OSITION TO ALL SECRET POLITICAL
SOCIETIES BY WHATEVER NAME THEY MAY
UK CALLED."
Wo aro prepared to prove, these
things and to show that leading dem
ocrats in many instances would not ex
press their opinions on subjects recent
ly brought to notico until they should
hear from Tammany.
Wo Would next call the attention of
every American who loves to look for
ward and contemplate the preserva
tion of our institutions and tho perpe
tuity of pure Americanism, to their
resolution immediately following their
declaration of opposition to secrecy.
Wc ask them to read it and ponder.
And why is it? Wc answer merely
for tho purpose of keeping up a dis
tinct party organization for their own
special benefit. Rather than have
their dear party absorbed in a pure
American sentiment they arc willing
to repudiate that principle dearer to us
than any other of worldly nature,
namely, American citizenship, and
bring to an equality with ourselves in
political affairs the hordes of paupers
and superstitious bigots who are ready
to pour in npon us from tho "Old
World," whose popular institutions,
the convention declares in a following
resolution, "aro dangerous in their ten
drncifs toaectional agitation."
Wc '.vpiH tliu nk candid inquir
ers for truth,' whether Whig Demo
crat, native or foreign born, to exam
ine carefully and closely, laying aside
all prejudice, the measures principles
and policy of the American party.
Wo ask them particularly to exam
ine, that part of the policy upon which
they have been by almost tho whole
Democratic press of the Union, de
nounced as conspirators and plotters
against our institutions and the rights
of citizens. Nay they have descend
ed into the depths of such degradating
abuse as shall not here be noticed, as
it is already familliar to all. We
have reference to the secrecy of the
order. It is not necessary for me here
to point out tho way of obtaining such
information, as the secrecy has been
thrown off and tho platform of princi
ples published to tho world.
The great object aimed at was that
in time, and while it was in power,
such measures might be adopted as
would effectually secure us against
foreign influence fur all time to come,
guarantee to us the preservation of
our institutions, and reserve to those
who are truly American in sentiment,
the power of making our laws and
governing our country, and to break
up political bargaining and huckster
ing. It was not to take one whit from
the rights or privelegcs of any Na
tive or naturalized citizen this side of
the Atlantic; but that we, instead of
those who have never yet seen our
laud, who are foreign tour, in senti
ment and education, in fact who know
nothing of the nature and principles
of our system of government, may be
the makers and guardians of the laws
which shall govern us.
In this part of tho country wc toe
not aware of tho extent of the abuse of
the ballot box by newly imported and
ignorant foreigners. The writer has
seen in a county of sixteen thousand
inhabitants, an election at which by
the agency and direct labors of a
Judge of a court in the same county,
six hundred Irish laborers from the
Rail Road were brought into vote and
did vote the democratic ticket, and
most of them were known to have
first seen America less than six months
previous.
To affect this in the most quiet and
peaceable and yet affective manner,
they did not publish to those who op
posed them their plan of operations
until they were fully organized, when
all was made public. And now every
Tne.-iKiirn of this American oartv is
published without any restriction
whatever, and may he known by any
nnrson who will read the "news of
the dav."
This shows the relation of the
American and Democratic parties in
one or two important particulars, and
that the resolutions of the Cincinnati
Convention in regard to Secret Organ
izations bear deceit and misrepresent
ation upon their face, being merely
imaginary, or worse in their character
and created merely to serve their pur
poses.
A Safe Man for the South in a
Horn. On tho 11th day of April,
1826, James Buchanan, of Pennsyl
vania, the champion of Southern
rights, (!!) who received the unani
mous nomination of tho Cincinnati
Convention for tho Presidency, said as
follows:
"Permit me here, Mr. Chairman,
for a moment to speak upon a subject
to which I have never before advert
ed upon this floor, and to which, I
trust, I may never again have occasion
to advert. I mean the subject of
slavery. 1 UELIEVE IT TO BE A
GREAT POLITICAL AND MORAL
EVIL. I THANK GOD MY LOT
HAS BEEN CAST IN A STATE
WHERE IT DOES NOT EXIST.
IT HAS BEEN A CURSE
ENTAILED UPON US BY THAT
NATION WHICH MAKES IT A
SUBJECT OP REPROACH TO OUR
INSTITUTIONS. See Gales & Sea
toiis Register of Delates, page 2, 180,
vol. a, part 2.
Tho above speech was mado in the
Houso of representatives, eleven
years after his 4th of July oration, and
six years after his famous Lancaster
anti-slavery resolutions! Will "Old
Buck" put in the pica of "infancy" to
thia charge, as ho docs to the charge
of Federalism? ir.

The Fillmore Reception at New
York.
On Tuesday morning Mr. Fillmore was
called upon by a large number of stran
gers and citizens, including many of his
old associates in Congross from this and
neighboring States, and many distin
guished ami official persons at homo and
ubroad. Among the members ot tho pre
sent Congress we observe Messrs Ed
wards, Haven of New York, Eustis of
La., and among the late members, Messrs.
Moore of Pa,, Randolph of N. J., and
others; also, Mr. Hodge, of Pennsylva
nia, late Consul to Marseilles, Luther
Bradish, Mayor Hall, of Brooklyn, Col
onel Anderson, and several officers of
the army end navy, who bear a pleasant
remembrance of Mr. Fillmore's urbanity.
Several committees have also been re
ceived. Delegations are in town all
along the Central road, from Albany to
Buffalo, and on the Erio road from Pied
mont to Dunkirk, asking his acccptanco
of invitation to 6top by tho way.
Hotel Scenes. Strangers have been
pouring into tho city evor since Mr. Fill
more's arrival from tho surrounding
cities, counties, and States to witness
New York's ovation to her honored son.
New Jersey was well represented, and
even Massachusetts sent us no inconsid
erable number to testify to the kindly
feelings of the peoplo there for the can
didate of tho people. Pennsylvania was
in quite full force, most of the large dele
gation of one hundred citizens, appoint
ed at tho Philadelphia meeting to wel
come the ex-President ami invite him to
visit the city of Brotherly Lovehaving
arrived.
Every thing, and almost every body in
the city wore a holiday appearance ban
ners were flying, and flags are waving
from the Exchange and all the public
places while even the water added its
niitcto the general joy the shipping in
the harbor all testifying tho appreciation
of those who man them, of the ex-President,
by a general display of their bunt
ing. From Academy Hall, No. GC3 Broad
way, was suspended a magnificent ban
ner, with the following appropriate in
scription :
" Millard Fillmore:
Statesman, yet friend to truth! with soul sin

About a hundred crentlcninn from Phil

Mr. Moore, late a member of Congress
from tho city addressed him;
Mr. Fillmore's Reply.
Mr. Chairman, this unexpected wel
come from the city of independence and
of tho Constitution, calls lortli leelings
of gratitude which 1 have not words to
express. If thcro bo any place outside
of rny native State which 1 respect more
than another, that placo is rlulailclpfiia
Its history, its sacred associations, all in
spire mo with respect and admiration,
and I look up to it as the birlh-placo of
our Liberty and our laws, anil as being
the homo of the n eat and good man who
bequeathed to us tho peace and order, the
unity, the blessings, and the prosperity
we all cnioy, and when I seo here to
day tho number of your delegation, and
know tho intelligence they represent, this
kindness gives me a pleasure I have not
the powor adequately to express. You
have, sir, in your remarks, seen fit to
alludo to my travels and receptions in
foreign countries. It is true, that from the
crowned head to the peasant, I have re
ceived marked attcntien and courtesy
but I do not attribute this to any merit
of rny own, but to that power which ele-
vatcd me to the office of Chief Magis-
trato of a great ond free Republic. But
often, sir, whilo I havo received such
kindness abroad, I must own that I have
heard, with tho most painful solicitude,
ol events and scenes which have trans
pired at home. Not often, in many parts
of Europe, have I been ablo to see an
American paper, but extracts of them I
have seen every where copied into foreign
journals, which showed that alarming tits
sentions and turmoils existed in my own
country such as excited in my mind the
liveliest solicitude, and which have given
me the greatest pain. And when it is
known that foreign monarchists are watch
ing with deep feelings of satisfaction,
every new cause of internal discord, and
expecting therefrom speedy dissolution of
tins great and free Republic, is to be
wondered at, that such should bo my feel
ings.
But, sir, it was sonic consolation to
sec, nay, a real consolation to know, that
in all parts of Europo many hopeful
hearts were beating with anxious solici
tude for our welfare, and were trusting
and believing, that a frco people would
continue in persevering to rule and gov
ern themselves. They trusted, and I
trusted with them, that tho day is far dis
tant when wo shall be called upon to wit
ness so calamitous an event os general
discord, or civil war, in tho United States
For God's take, let us all remember, that
our present freedom and greatness is the
gift of our forefathers, and of (heir con
cord and unity, in your own city of Phil
adelphia. But I am trespassing on vourtimn. I
only intendod to return my acknowledg
ments for your kind invitation to me to
visit your city. I regret that it Is out of
my power to accept it. I am anxious
to return to my home, and see my friends
from whom I have becnao long absent
and otsonie future time, aftor the people
have decided to do with mo what they
havon right to decido it will afford mo
nxlremo ideasuro to respond to the cor
dial invitation of my friends in Phila
delphia.
Welcome to the American Committee.
About 11 o'clock Hon. DaniolUllmnn on
behalf of the Fillmore & Donolson Gen
eral Committee of the city and county of
New York, welcomed Mr. F. to the city,
and congratulated him in a fitting speech
on his safe return to his native land,
ond tho kind regard of the Amorican people-
..
Mr. rillmore responded with a lew ap
propriate remarks, which wei'o receivod
with warm applause, but on account ot
the crowd our reporter was prevented
from taking the address.
The Starting.
Mr. Fillmore, accompaniod by the
Committee, and followed by tho Ameri
can General Committee, left the hotel at
five minuies to twelve, and were received
by the throng of people in tho streets
with tremendous cheers. The flags were
waved, the drum rolled, the guard of hon
or presented arms, the ladies, who thron
ged tho balconies and windows of the ho
tel and houses on both sides of the street,
waved their handkerchiefs and smiled en
thusiastic welcomes. Mr. Fillmore en
tered his carriago and bowed to tho re
newed plaudits of the people. His ba
rouche, followed by tho other carriages,
then filed through the open ranks of the
procession, which closed after him. As
ho proceeded, cheer upon cheer rent the
air. He was obliged to continually bow
his thanks. The pcoplo'pourud in throngs
into Broadway, to obtain a glimpse at
the honored guest of the city. While
passing the clubs tho bands struck up
"Hail to tho Chief," and "Sec tho Con
quering hero comes," others played
"Hail Columbia," ond tho drummers and
fifers gave "Yankee Doodle," with en
thusiasm. Hundreds of boquets were thrown into
tho carriage by tho ladies, and many ele
gant baskets of wreaths were sent him,
the barouche at one time being nearly
filled with these elegant testimonials of
admiration and attachment.
In the Park.
Tho moment tho carriage containing
Mr. Fillmore entered tho '.astern gate ot
the Park, the nrtillery thundered out a
salute of one hundred guns, and the
thousands upon thousands congregated
thcro rent the air with their deafening
shouts.
At this tiiiic the crowd was most dense,
thousands upon thousands appearing o
far as trie eye could reach. 1 lie bnlco
nies and roof of the City Hall were cov
ered with peoplo, as were treef , pillars
posts, and everv other placo where a foot
hold could be obtained. Tlio choerinu
was incessant and hearty from the mo
merit of his arrival.
The Procession pays a Marching Salute,
The various Fillmore and Donelson
Clubs and Chapters of the Order of Uni
ted Americans then filed past, headed by
their officers, and as each came up three
hearty cheers were given lorivliliord r ill
more, which Mr. F. politely acknowl
edged. The various clubs and bodies
then marched out of tho West gate, and
dismissed, tho military serving as guards
ot honor.
In the Governor's Room.
On entering tho Governor's room, tho
rush to obtain admittance was tremend
ous, ond tho hall was soon filled to over
flowing. Cheer after cheer rose from the
dense mass, both inside and out, and the
air positively fluttered with the Jadies
handkerchiefs, so as to almost convey the
ideaoi a showerof cambric.
THE MAYOR'S WELCOME.
Mr. Fillmore In behalf of the corpo
ration of the city of New York, it be
comes my duty to welcome you on this oc
casion, and to tender tho Municipal hos
pitalities. We are ever readv to do Dub-
lie honor to those who have filled emi
nent stations with fidelity and usefulness.
in this instance we have an additional in
centive in your personal relation to us
as our own lellow-citizen well known
to us, ond admired in all tho walks of pri
vate life, and as truthful and liberal in the
posts of public duty. You havo never
disgraced your Mate or shocked its con
servative sentiment by a resort to sec
tional agitation or appeals to the pas
sions and prejudices of men. You have,
indeed, in this respect, truly reflected its
public opinion by refusing to lend your
countenance or aid to tho seditious ef
forts of demagogues, who would embroil
the States and citizens of this Republic
in sectional and fratricidal warfare, to
gratify their own unjustifiable ambition
for place and power. As a public man
you nave been national and conserva
tive, and New York can have no reason
to reccivo you in any other way than as
a dutiful son, who has boon true to her
interests.
In this spirit I bid you welcome back
to your nativo country, and am exceed
ingly happy to bo made theorgan of your
reception.
Sir, the Common Council havo passed
resolutions upon which this public re
ceptions ore based.
I now, sir, liavo tho honor to nresent
you with thnso resolutions, and 1 do as
sure you, asido from any official nosi.
tion, I do so with great personal gratifi
cation. Tho resolutions,' which were hand.
somely engrossed, were then presented to
Mr. Fillmore, who received it with some
emotion.
When tha apnlauic winch foil AUfflrl ill O
Mayers address had subsided, tha erent-
eat attention was lnt to
MR. FIU-MORE 8 REPLY.
Mr. Mayor: This unexpected and cot.'
dial welcome to the great commercial cm.
poriuin of the United States loaves me
without language to express tho effusions'
of my heart. I had hoped to have or
runged my ideas, but not only yoti, 8ir
but all who ere within the sound of my
voice, are owaro thotsincomy landingon
the shoros of my native soil, I have not,'
had a moment to myself. Preparation
however, is not necossnry, whon ono may
thus free one's mind before one's friends.
Until I left homo for Europe, 1 must con
fess I was not aware of the great im.
provettients that had been made in my
own land and it required the contrast to
show to me how much in material pros
perity oven wo hove been indebted to
the constitutional liberty, and noble prin
ciples of peaco ond concord and union
ond harmony of our fathers loft us ns
their legacy. It has been my aim through
life to preserve and conserve these prin
ciples they have left us, as indispensable
to our material as to our moral prosperity,
To be a great people, 1 now see, moro
than ever, a people must be free. Hcnco
the Constitution our fathers left us is
not only above all price, as a bequest fof
law and liberty and union and harmony,
but os the indispensable bonds of our
mnterial prosperity. Groat applause.
When you, sir, became the Chief Mag
istrate of this great city, I looked with
pleasuro on your attompts at upholding
tho laws, for no truo liberty can exist
without obedience to the laws, and yet a
government that depends for its power
alone upon standing armies; or the gens
d'armcs, is no good government. Gov
ernments to bo strong must bo strong in
tho hearts and heads of the peoplo that
are governed, ond long as we maintain
such forms of government, founded upon
tho affections of all our people, not hero
alone, but everywhere, throughout the
broad extent of tho Union, tho laws
will vindicate themselves. It is the
beauty of our American systom, if left
freely to represent the whole that we
have, or must have, such laws founded
people, upon such a ffections, and that we
can pass from ono State to another,
though all under different governments,
without any of the vexatious passports,
orcfis d'armcs, or any of those restraints
upon personal liberty which reduces the
subject to a slavery as severe as that of
tho master over the slave. Every little
Kingdom or Dukedom in Europe, de
mands yours passport, but when I step
ped onco more on the shores of my own
native land, I could not but draw the
contrast and thank my God 1 was a free
man once more, with need no longer of
any such companion os a passport.
Tremendous applause.
Your beautiful bay, Mr. Mayor, has
oftentimes been compared to the bay of
Naples. I have seen something of both.
Italy, with her sunny and cloudless skies,
is a most beaatiful country to look upon,
and alas only to look! but would to God
she had a government like ours. Ap
plause The bay ofNaples, as 1 said, is
compared to your own beautiful bay, but
there is this strikingclifTcrenee. Vhcnl

surrounded by hundreds of beggars, but

but as contrasted with other laborers ,'

That point of difference, sir, is most j
agreeablo to an American eye, and I leu
it and felt proud of it, and prouder than
ever, not only of your bay, but of tho
thrifty population that surrounds it. Ven
ice was once a prouder city than New
York, but amid intestine and foreign
wars, and under harsh govetnmcnt she
has been crushed. The Constitution of
the United States has brought New York
into greatness by concentrating here tho
commerce ond exchanges of our confed
erated States. To preserve that concen
tration, and that greatness, there must be
absence of all internal strife there mast
be peace, and friendship for, and confb
denco in, New York, from all parts of
theso confederated States. But deprivo
your great and growing city of them, and
of the protection the Constitution gives
its trade and commerce and its fate soon
would be that of Venice, whoso deserted
streets and canals I have so recently
surveyed. England has now the control
oftha commerce of the world, through
London, her great commercial city. I
now venture to prophesy that ere many
years elapse, those who are now in tha
sound of my voice will, under the pro
tection of the Constitution, see thatNeff
York will be to the world what London
is. I AnrMause.l
Mr. Fillmore then, after congratula
ting the Mayor upon the honor of being
the Chief Magistrate of such a city as
Netr York, went on to say, his romarks
were necessarily desofutory.and he trust
ed they would be so considered and ha
concluded amid prolonged and enthusi
astic applause.
