v Great Whig Meeting e -New Yohk -T-fila. FBEixxonuYSEN.Oa Monday, the 6th inst., one of the largest meetings ever held in the city of New York assembled in the Park, in that city, to respond to the nominations of the Baltimore Convention. '' It is stimaled that at least ten thousand whigs Vwere! present., The - gTeaSesf; - enthusiasm prevailed, and eloquent speeches were made by several distinguished!gentlemen. After the meeting adjourned, the Whigs - formed a procession, and marched to the residence of Mr. Frelinghuysen, to congratulate him on his nomination to the . Vice PresidencyHe made his appearance, and, after a long, hearty, and 'most' enthusiastic greeting, proceeded to address the immense assemblage, in a speech, of which we find the following report in the New York Express: MR. FRELINGHUYSEN'S SPEECH. My fellow-citizens, I thank you for your enthusiastic approbation of the nomination lately made by the Whigs of the United States, assembled in con vention at Balti more. To be selected by such a body of distinguished patriots, is an honor I most deeply and sensibly feel, and the more deeply and sensibly, that it is so cheerfully ratified by my freinds and neighbors in New York., I can only 'say that such a mark of kindness will strengthen my attachment to "Whig principles if such strengthening was necessary, and that it is certainly calculated to make ; me strife to the best of my abil4 ities, if I am ever put in a situation to carry out your principles, so to act a? to merit this kindness, and to justify the confidence you have confered upon me. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, the great principles of the Whig party, for which you have so long and so nobly slrugjled amid the greatest gloom, and notwithstanding the most cruel disappointments, are my principles. (Cheers, three times given, and three times repeated, with cries, uwe know that, "we 'made the nomination for that.") I have long cherish ed these principles. I shall maintain them hereafter as I have maintained them before. (Cheers.) They are, as 1 understand them A sound national currency. A just limitation of Executive power. A tariff for revenue,discriminating for the purpose of incidental protection to domestic industry. (Loud cheering.) An equal, fair distribution of the proceeds of the public lands among the several States of the UrJon. These, as I understand them, continued Mr. Frelinghuysen, are the cardinal, although not all the principles, of the Whig party; and after what I have already said, I heed hardly -add, that they will find me a humble fcut willing advocate in whatever po sition I may be placed. (Cheers.) We need an Executive administration of the Government, Mr. F. continued to say, that will fairly and faithfully carrying out the principles of the Constitution, exercising its full powers which are given it,and keeping strictly within its limitations, where powers are limited, conceding where there ought to be concession, but firm when concession would result in injury liberally maintaining its compromises, but as independently carry ing out its positive commands and yet who will take no other responsibilities upon himself but what he finds there. It is a matter, as it seems to me, for thankfulness, in a dis tinguished . citizen of Kentucky all these principles are embodied, and that he is not only pledged lo them by along public life, but that such is the truthfulness and fidelity of his nature, that the people can well trust him with power to carry them out. (Great cheering.) Gentlemen, the political life of Henry Clay for thirty years past has been only an illustration of Whig principles, and the his-tory-of his life for twenty years would be the history of his country. " Whenever there was a struggle for the protection of American labor against foreign industry, where but on the side of his country was Henry Clay? Whenever there was a struggle to limit the alarming and overgrown magnitude of Execf "ntive power or when the vast public domain was in jeopardy from being offered for sale in the political market, where but on the side of faith, of honor, of justice to all, was our; illustrious champion and friend? (Great cheering.) In all of these great questions his voice has been heard from the first. In all of the combats concerning them he has

led the van. (Cheers.) He has never compromised the dignity of his position to gain a vote, on tke momentary breath of popular favor, but with an eye ever steady fixed upon an approving public, he has fearlessly discharged what he has deemed to be his duty. (Cheers.) I - dont -believe a purer patriot

lives on the whole continent of America (cheers) and for proof, I point to a'long public life passed in stirring scences which has never conflicted with probity, or honor; a life unsullied by jneanness,or groveling ap peal to impoper ambition -in all of which his principles have been put forth with ordor and as clear as I'ght, whila every pulse breathiDgwith.in him has been for the welfare and true glory of his country. If such a man does not deserve the name of patriot, 1 do not known who does deserve the name or who can. (Cheers.) They say he is ambitious! I dare say he is. Be it so then. But point me the time where he has not sacrificed ambition and himself, if what he deemed his duty called. I happened to know that on that great question, the public lands, the question was thurst upon him by an adverse Senate to make him unpopular in the West. He entered upon it with a zeal characteristic of himself, and gave it the whole power of his mind. He never thought ofwhatwasto become of himself. "As a Western man he had a tempting field for political traffic in the whole public domain. he might have used it for the purpose of ambition. He might have held It out as a tempting bait for the whole West. But his heart was as large as his country. (Cheers.) He studied the title out of hi3 public domain. He knew where it came from, and justice told where it belonged. Fearlessly, then, as is his nature, he flung out his ' banner, "Distribution of the proceeds among the States,' and he nailed it to the mast. (Great cheering and cries of "that is good.") I have said ot Mr. .Clay, continued Mr. Frelinghuysen, that his heart was as large as his country. A signal instance of it was his course on the tariff in the arduous session of 1832. Perhaps "no'man living could more tenderly cherish a conception of his own brain, or an offspring of his own creation than he who has been called the father of the American system. Tlie principles of protection to American industry embodied in the tarifflaw, Mr. Clay has cherished as he has life. Bui when in 1831 an un natural excitement was got up in SouthCaroina against a law, in the exactment of which he did nojt participate, he saw it was necessary to save his country from peril, even to make a sacrifice of what he loved so much. He looked for time to instruct the whole country in the necessity and utili ty of protcting home industry, and he was willing lo have a truce of eight years to give that time. He said to his friends in the Senate, "we caiyall see how an Execu tive can lead us into a fraternal war, but how he can get us out, that we never can foresee. Dear as the tariff is to all, he said, we must give it up for the moment to save our coun trymen from shedding each other's blood to preserve the union and cause of human liberty throughout the world. I shall rejoice my friends, if you can go with me, but do what you will, I must offer myself as a victim up to peace." Cheers. He became the great pacificator of that alarming time and "blessed are the peace makers," says the highest authority that addresses man. Cheering and loud applause. Thus, gentlemen, in every view I can take of jny position, I have reason for gratitude and thankfulness to you and the country, that my name is connected with the , name that reflects honor even upon so humble an associate and it shall be my pridd and my gratification, I repeat to merit the confidence your kindness has bestowed upon me. Applause. One word, gentlemen, for my honored mother, the Slate that gave me birth where repose the ashes of my ancestors -and to which I am indebted for many marks of regard prior lo this of late. I assure you, gentlemen, New Jersey will be true to all the principles of Whigs. Whatever may be her temporary vibrations from the temporary inaction of her prosperity, or from local or transitory ambition, she is Whig to the heart and core. (Loud cheers. We can never be any thing else but Whigs, Whigs first, Whig last, Whig always cheers a State c.-adled in the bloodiest scenes of the Amer ican revolution, whose hills, and valleys, and plains are stirring all with revolutionary invocations, she would be false lo herself, and an unnatural offspring, if she could forget the principles born with her, and bled for on her bosom. rCheers.l No, she never can cease to be Whig till the plains

Monmouth, the heights of Princeton,' and the streets of Trenton are forgotten tij she tears out from history the leaves of het glory, and blots fro m her escutcheon i the

brightest gems that are emblazoned upomt. I promise you, gentlemen, l promise, tue Union, New Jersey, will be true to heiself, and the whole country. Cheers loud and prolonged, amid which Mr. Frelinghuysen retired. - ;'. J i- j t THEODORE FRELINGHUYSEN From the Newark Daily Advertiser. As Mr. Fkeuxgiiuysen is now prominently before hhr fellow citizens as a candidate for their suffrages, a brief sketch of his previous history may not be unacceptable. He is decended from the Rev. Theodorur J. Frelinghuysen, who emigrated to this country from Holland in 1720, and settled in the county of Somerset. . He had the pastoral charge of the Church at Millstone, - and of other neighboring parishes. He is said to have been "a great blessing to the Refoimed Dutch Church of America. He wasan able evangelical and eminently successful preacher. He left five sons, ministers and two daughters married to ministers." One of his sons, the Rev. John Frelinghuysen, was also pastor of the same churches, and died 1754., A monument still remains to his memory in the graveyard at Somerville. His son Gen, Frederick Frelinghuysen (the father of the present Chancellor) was born in 1753, and when only 22 years old was sent by New Jersey to the Continental Con gress) which place he resigned in 1777. He received a larse share of the confidence of his fellow-citizens, and, after serving in many State offices, was elected to the U. S. Senate, in 1793, which office domestic du ties constrained him to resign iq 1790, He was afterwards appointed Major General ef Pennsylvania and New Jersey, nd rendered important duties to his country, - He ranked among the ablest and purest citizens of his State, and died in 1804, beloved and lamented by his country and his friends. He left three sons, of whom -Theodore (the fsudidate for the Vice Presidency) only survi ves. He was born at Millstone, Somerset coun ty New Jersey, in 1787, and is consequent ly fifty-seven years of age. He graduated at Princeton College in 1804. The Hon Samuel L. Southard, Thomas II. Crawford, George Chambers, Joseph R. Ingereoll, and President Lindsley, of the Nashville Univer sity, were among his classmates. He studi ed law with the late Richard Stockton, and was admitted to practice in 1808. He soon distinguished himself at the bar, and about 1814 was appointed Prosecutor of the Pleas for Sussex county, and 1817 to be Attorney General of the State, an office for which le was eminently qualified, and the duties of which he fulfilled for the space of 12 years with distinguished ability. It is said tbat the character which he had then acquired for integrity, and his fervid eloquence, eaa bled him to excercise an almost unlimited sway over the juries which he was called ( upon to address. In 1825 he was elected to a seat upon the bench of the Supreme Court, vacated by the resignation of Judge Rossell, which he declined. He continued to act as Attorney General until 1823,vhen he was elected lo the Senate of the United States. His course, durng the six years he occupied a seat in that body, is known to the country at large. In 1829 he was selected to preside as Chancellor over the University of the city of New York, which station be now occupies. We might here conclude, but we cannot refraTn from saying that this nomination will give great gratification to the Whigs of New Jersey. As a citizen, he is one whom the State has always delighted to honor; and, as a politician, he has always steadfastly maintained and advocated the principles of the Whig party. In private life he exhibits the suavity and amenity of manner, the kindness of heart, and the benevolence of the disposition ofa Christian. He brings to the discharge of all his duties soundness of judgment, steadiness of purpose, and habits and principles of the strictest interity. His views are liberal and enlightened: he is beyond the control of a mere selfish or partisan influence: and to no one could the great interests of the country be more safely entrusted. Grateful for the honor conferred upon her by the nomination, the Whigs of N. Jersey pledge to their fellow Whigs throughout the Union their most untiring efforts for the maintenance of Whig principles, and the next eleclorial vote of the State for Hexby ofjAY and Theodore Fkelixchuysen.

EMIGRANTS' DAUGHTER. ; , One ot the most singular peculiarities; indeed, I may say passions of the Irish is their fondness for their offspring. . , A curious illustration' of this occurred to me on my recent journey through the Northern lakes. ' It happened to be what the sailors call very dirty weather, finished up by a tremendous gale which obliged us to seek shelter at a lump f aboriginal barrenness called, Maintou Island, where we were obli-

led to remain tor five days. There wero a lew deck passengers between five and six hundred ;and inasmuch as they had only provided themselves with barely sufficient iood for the avctsge time, provisions became alarmingly scrce, and no possibility of a suT ply. - To La sure there was one venerable ox-r-a Sort of semi-petrificatioB, an organic remnant a poor, attenuated, hornless, sightless, bovine patriarch, who obligingly yielded up his small residue of existence for our benefit. Indeed, it was quite a mercy that we arrived to relieve him from a painful state of suspense, for so old and poweiless was he, that if his last breath had not been extracted, he certainly could not have drawn it by himself. Well, as you may suppose, there was con siderable consternation on board. Shorf very short, alio avance was. adopted to meet the contingei iy, and the poor deck passengers bad a terrible time of it: Amongst the latter was an Irish emigrant, with his wife and three children, the eldest about seven years, and al! without the smallest subsistence, except wha the charity of their fellow passengers would afford them; and as they were but i;cantily supplied, it can readily be , imagine! uow miserably off was this poor family. Hoi!?ev?r, it so happened that the beauty and inti!igence of the. children attracted the atteuKou of one of our lady passengers, : who had them occasionally brought into the cabin and their hunger appeased. Gleesome bright eyed little creatures they were, scrupulously clean, despite the poverty ot their parents, all life and happiness, and in blissfull ignorauce of the destitution by which they were surrounded. One day delighted with her little protege. the lady happened to say,: half jestingly "I wonder would this poor man part with one ol -those little darlings! I should like lo adopt it." 'I don't know" said I; "suppose we make the inquiry." The man was sent for, and the delicate business thus opened: ' ' '' "My good friend said," said the lady ;"you are very poor, are you not!" " " . His answer was peculiarly Irish: "Poor! me lady," said he. "Be the power ol pewther! if there's a poorer man nor meself troublin' the world, God pity both of uz,. for we we'd be about aiqual." "Then you must find it difficult to support your children," srid I, making a long jump towards our object. "Is it support thim, sirT'he replied. 'Lord bless ye, I never supported thim they get supported somehow or another; they've never bin hungary yit whin they are it'll be time enough to grumble." Irish all over, thought I; to-day has enough to do, let to-morrow look out for itself. "Well then," I resumed with a determined plunge, "would it be a relief to you to part from one of them?" I had mistaken my mode of attack. He started, turned pale, and, with a wild glare in his eye, literally screamed out "A relief. God be good to uz, what do ye mean? A relief! would it be a relief d'ye think to have the hand chopped from my body, or have the heart , tore out of my breast r' You don't understand u," interposed my philanthropic companion. "Should one be enabled to take and place your child in ease and comfort, would you interfere with its welldoing?" The tract of women! She had touched the chord of paternal solicitude -the poor tellow was silent, twisted his head about, and looked all bewildered. The struggle be tween a father's love and his child's interest was evident and affecting. At last he said "God bless ye, my lady, and all that thinks of the poor! Heaven knows I'd be glad to better the child, it isn't in regard to meself, but but hadn't I betthergo and spake to Mary, she's the mother of thim, and 'twould be unraisonable to be gi vin away her children afore her face, and she not to know nothing of thematther." "Away with youthen," said I, "and bring us back word as soon as possible. In about an hour he returned, but his eyes red and swollen, and features pale from excitement and agitation. "Well," inquired I, "what success?" "Bedad 'twas a hard struggle, sir," said he, 'but it's for the child's good, and Heaven give usstnngth to bear it." "Very good, and which is it to be?" "Why, sir, I've bin spakin' to Mary, and she thinks as Norah here is the ouldest, she won't miss the mother so much, and if ye'll jistlet her take a parting kiss, she'd give her to yez with a blessin'. So my poor fellow took his children away, to look at one of them for the last time. It was long 'ere he returned, but when he did he was leading the second eldest. "How's this?" said I. "Have you changed your mind ? " . "Not exactly changed my mind, sir," he replied; "but I've changed the crather. Ye see sir, I've bin spakin' to Mary, and whin it come to the ind, be goxty! she couldn't part with Norah, at all at all; they've got used to aich others ways; but here's little Biddy she's punier far, if she'll do as well." ' It's all the same," said I; let Biddy remain. "May Heaven be yer guardian?" cried he,

snatching her up to his arms, and giving her one long hearty kiss. "God be kind to him that's kind to you, and thim that offers you hurt c-r harurn, may their sowl niver see St. Pether!', S the bereaved father rushed away, and all that night the child remained with us; but early the next morning my fiiend Put re-appoared, and this time he had his youngest childf a mere baby, snugly cuddled up in his arms." T ; ,. 'V7hat the matter now?" said I. , . ; "Why thin, sir," said he, with an expression of the most comic anxiety Vaxin' yer honor's pardon for being so wake-hearted, but whin I begun to think of Biddy' eyeslook at thim, they're the image of her tnothfr's, bedad I coijjdn't let be-go 5Jgt bejre's little Paudeen hd won't be much trouble lo any one, for if he takes after his mother, he'll have the brightest eye and the softest heart on the top of creation, and if he takes after his father, he'll have a purty hard fist on a broad pair of shoulders to push his Way ihro' the world. T'ake him, sir, and gi' me "Biddy." - ; 'Just as you like,' said I, having a pretty good guess how matters would eventuate.. So he took away hi3 Biddy," and handed me the little todiing urchin. This chirping little vagabond won't be long with us, thought I. Nor was he. Ten minutes had scarcely elapsed before Pat rushed into the cabin, and seizing little Paudeen up in his arms, be turned to me, and with large tears bubling in his eyes, cried out : Look at him; sir just look at him! it's the youngest. Ye would'nt h?ve the heart to keep him from uz. The long and the short of it is, I've been spakin' to Mary. 'Ye see she couldn't part with Norah, and 1 didn't like to let Biddy go; but, be tnesowl, neither of uz couldjive a half day "without little Paudeen. No sir, no: we can bare the bitterness of poverty, but we can't part from our childher, unless it's the will of Heaven to take it from uz.' t ;

A SECRET. a 'How do you do, Mrs. Tome; have you heard that story about Mrs. LudyT 'Why, no, really, Mrs. Gab, what is it? do tell.' . " - '0,1 promised not to tell for the world! No, I must never tell it, I'm afraid it will git out.' ' v - .

'No I will never open my mouth about it, sacredly.

From the Louisville Journal.. r LATE FROM IIAVANNA. Oa ; . . The SavitE Ia-strrection. -We copy the following from the N. Orleans Picayune of iho 11th iust.: . - -, ' . -t , , By. the brig T. Street, we have received full files of Ilavanua papers up to the 4th inst! We insert the following extract of a letter. ' ' : - : ? "; HavANA; Mayf 4r !S4-t.., There has been -a good deal of excite ment here, and more in the country, in relation to the negro plot. It has subsided, a little, yet arrests are going on, both among -blacks and whites many of the latter being considered ?s guilty as the , former. The authorities are very active, arn all .ibreign, . people of color have been ordered lo quit the island within 15 day?;-' The Government is not so active in the rhattefr of the late murder of the American seamen. Our Government has received official news, confirming the reports brought pfevi-' -ously from St. Domingo. The blacks there, so it is said, have murdered all the rnulattoes and many of the whites among the latter, several Englishmen, Americans and Spaniards, and it is even said that some ol the consuls have lost their lives. Some hundred negroes have been execu- ' ted already at Matanzas, and a great many more are yet to suffer. You shall be in- ' formed of all the particulars of the negro ' plot, which is yet a secret to mbst every one, here. . '- V ' - ,"-;IL' . By the Courier of last evening, we learn that a private letter from Havanna,' addressed to a commercial house in this city, gives some startling potticulars of the conspiracy among the negroes. By this it would seem that the British ex-consul, the white-faced . but black-hearted and notorious , Turnbull had a hand in fermenting the recent conspiracy to murder all the whites. A mulatto, named Cequi," who was brought before the k court for being implicated in the plot. Jias made the following dreadful disclosures: " And the negroes and rnulattoes are con

cerned in the design to raise an insurrection. If three days more had elapsed before your discovery of the plot, no means of .escape would have been left to you wh'te peo ple, because at a nxed hour the whole island . would have been in a state of revolt. As I speak English, they employed me as inter preter, and, moreover, onereu me ten thou-. -sand dollars and the rank of colonel. u Unfortunately for me, I entered into the plot ; but if you will pardon me, I will tell joti everything that has happened frot-t-ginning to end. I will disclose everything that was to be dono in every coffee-house, village and city. I will give you all the doc- ' uments I will tell you what kind of arms were to be used, and the names of all the -chiefs who were to command in the differ- . ent parts of the island. u We chose Mr. Turnbull, ex-consul of Eagland at Havana, and now in Jamaica, to be our king provisionally. That gentleman . had at his disposal $270,000, to supply the conspirators with food, arms, and ammunition. Our chief was the poet Placide, a : mulatto, who . possessed great influence among the colored people, as well as among many of the whites. Placide resided at Matanzas. I will now tell you the plan of the insurrection. . " "The insurrection was to break out first at the sugar mills of El General, situated at Guamutas; second, at those of La Boquo ; ; third, at Artemiza ; fourth, at Caninge ; fifth, , at Soledad; sixth, at Corral Falso. The insurrection was to break out at all these places the same night. " The negroes at those points were to set fire to the houses, murder the whites, take possession of their arms, and march to Cardinas, where they were to find, on the banks of the San Guaruda,600 muskets, and ammunition, landed from an English brig, which was to come from New Providence; from Cardinas they were to march, to the number of 3,000, upon Matanzas, where Plac ide was to wait for them. , " At .Matanzas, the insurrection Was to proceed on the following plan: At first, they intended to poison all the whites; but they afterwards determined, as a surer mode, that the cooks and other house servants, ; should set fire to the dwelling-houses on a fx?d day, and murder their masters. Tho -capital and other cities were to follow our -example. ' ' ; " j "At Havanna the signal was to be given by firing muskets. The general meeting was to be held at the country house of the Coont de Penalves. Thus eery town had enemies in its bosom. We hoped to become -masters of the island, and marry the white -) women; whom, on this account, we were 1 ordered not to kill at least, those who were not old and ugly. 1 "Finally, the disclosures which I am yet to make, will fill the whole world with horror."
