Resolved, 5. That we recognize the obligations of the Act of Congress of 1850 commonly known as the Fugitive Slave law, and summit cheerfully to its faithful enforcement; and that we point with pride and satisfaction to the recent conviction and punishment, in this city of Philadelphia, of those who had broken its provisions by aiding in the attempted rescue of a slave, as proof that Philadelphia is faithful in her obedience to the laws; and furthermore, that we recommend to the Legislature of our own State the passage of a law which shall give compensation in case of

world considers it foremost in every shining attribute. His posterity, after sixty years have passed over his mortal remains, unites with one accord in veneration for his saint-like character. Let his wise instruction — his parting and parental benediction — be made the universal passport of social and political intercourse. Above all, let us remember his anxious wish that our Union may be as lasting as time, and that brotherly affection may be perpetual. On the coming birthday, the 22d of February, let its language adorn every flag, and fill a column of every newspaper. Let it be read in every private family and public meeting. Let schools make it their frequent speech, and orators quote its sublime phrases. Let us almost believe ourselves standing at Mount Vernon, while we are recounting his virtues, and with heads uncovered and hearts subdued, let us vow fidelity to the country which he saved. In an assembly like this we have still one duty to perform. Our Southern frie

mementoes of the day.--The crowd was tremendous. Not less than ten thousand people were assembled. The outer crowd could not distinguish a word of what was spoken from the stand, yet every individual conducted himself as if the issue of the demonstration depended upon his own good conduct. Such was the square — a living mass of people, each blade of grass a man — where the pacific exercises of a great demonstration commenced. Philadelphia had assembled to do the Union reverence. Bishop Potter opened the ceremonies with prayer. Mayor Henry, who presided, then made the following address: Citizens of Philadelphia:--You have been called together upon this momentous occasion by-request of your municipal Councils. You have been invited to assemble in this hallowed place that, divesting yourselves of every partizan emotion, discarding all sordid and self-interested views, you may intelligently consider the present unhappy condition of your country and the danger which threate

But the surface was only materially ruffled.--In deeper water good sense lay buried, and probably prevailed. Passion was contagious, and resistance slow. In the South we have witnessed a striking proof of kindness and devotion to the good cause. Almost at the centre of initiate secession a voice has been uttered of harmony, and heard with the deepest gratification. Mr. Stevens, in the midst of Georgia, a State remarkable for quickness of feeling, has come forward, almost like a guardian angel, with a charm to still the troubled waters. His views have been reflected brightly here. A letter, full of grateful thanks, has been numerously signed and forwarded to him. It will prove the contagion of kindness to be at least as warm as that of hatred, and a thousand times more welcome, generous and amiable. A letter, too, has been received from the heart of Texas, th

Nearly all the business houses on the chief streets were closed, and the Courts also suspended business. The navy-yard was also closed and the handsific exercises of a great demonstration commenced. Philadelphia had assembled to do the Union reverence. Bishop Potter opened the ceremonies with prayer. Mayor Henry, who presided, then made the following address: Citizens of Philadelphia:--You have been called together upon this momentous occasion by-request of your mut, by the favor of Almighty God, this Union must and shall be maintained. The speaker then retired, amid loud applause. Three cheers were proposed for Mayor Henry, and given with a will. The following resolutions were then read, and adopted by acclamation: The following are the resolutions adopted: The peop

nes of our soldiers who perished in their defence; that our glorious institutions, under whose guidance and protection we have attained so great prosperity and renown, and which have made this Union of States the joy and hope of oppressed millions throughout the world, were framed by the wisdom, built by the toil and defenced by the blood of a common ancestry, and cannot perish without an eternal reproach to us, their children, if we destroy so great and so fair an inheritance. Hon. Joseph R. Ingersoll, after the adoption of the resolutions, addressed the assemblage.--The following is an extract of his speech: The great error consists in the belief that a feeling of animosity is universal, or at least general, in each extremity. Let us cherish a contrary trust. The most noisy are not the most numerous or full of influence. During the late canvass many excellent citizens were deeply affected by bad examples about them.

heads uncovered and hearts subdued, let us vow fidelity to the country which he saved. In an assembly like this we have still one duty to perform. Our Southern friends think themselves aggrieved. Perhaps they have just cause. We are free from blame. Words of conciliation may not be unwelcome from this quarter. Let them be offered in a kind spirit, and with an ever ready disposition to follow them with corresponding actions, whenever the day and the occasion can be found. Mr. Charles E. Lex followed in an address, of which the following is an extract: However they may suppose to the contrary, our affections are not alienated from our Southern friends, and even now the rumor of any damage to them from a domestic source, would bring to their aid a legion of the young men of our State; aye, and of those more advanced in life, ready to assist them in the emergency and willing to shed their blood in their defence.

Resolved, finally. That we appeal to our brethren of South Carolina of Georgia, of Alabama, of Mississippi, of Florida, and of such other States as are considering the question of seceding from the Union, with all the affectionate earnestness we can express, to forbear. That we remind them of the innumerable ties which bind us together as one people, and which seem to us so strong that no power shore of that which paralyzes all memory, and effaces all history can separate us; that the ashes of those brave men who fought with us and for us, rest beneath our soil, and that they ha
