Speech Mebtiso" in Old Thisitt chcscii night. In response to a can lor an of public sentiment with regard to "free speech," a large crowd collected at old Trinity Cbttieb, and Wm.

Parsers. Esq was called to the chair, and thirty-four vice appointed. Pirsons, in a few remarks, explained the nature of tVs meeting, and railed for a free expression of sentiment upon the treatment of those who bad been abused in this rlty, when attempting to vindicate the principles cf the Republican party. Tbev had come from nearly all parts ef the land, with their hearts ove-flowing with a love of country and devotion to the Union, and found here in their midst a set of men breathing treason and crime, who stalk forth In the community to brow beat those wbo dare to express their sentiments. But tbere were men from tbe North and West, and the South, too, who say to tnem, indicate your riguu Applause une of Ibelr number hid been amulted io tbelr midst Last Sunday, who had atood up for their Insulted, arretted and thrown Into prison with villains and graceless arampa They were determined to vindicate the and eatabliah free speech in the capital of the Confederacy The chairman of the committee appointed at a previous meeting to draft resolutions not having arrived, Denlo, of 111 addressed the meeting It afforded him inexpressible pleasure to meet In Washington, a place celebrated above all others on this broad green earth for rascals protected by a Metropolitan police, In favor of free speech He had been taking notice of iren and things since be had been in tbe city, but had found more things than men.

When he arrived here was told bv men with brie Lit buttons that people were nut allowed to talk on the streets, and be bed replied that the men out West were used to it, and would be protected in it too. The Administration wbicb bad just gone out of power were used to tools, and their tall western Precedent bad not yet bad time to cleanse 'be Augean stables, so thev must be patient and bear It a little longer Their army had been scattered over the continent, their navy sent off Into distant or suffered to rot at anchor, and they bad been told by Wigfall that tbe South had fired on our flag and we dare not resent, that If we did not take our men out of tbe forts in the South tbey would do it for as. Well, they had taken tbem out. They bad spent over a million of dollars, collected thousands of soldiers, and bad starved out sixtv But thev had got an elephant, and what worse tbey did not know what to do with it. Old Abe of the West would soon show them what would be done with it.

TCbeera 1 He knew it on the 4th of March, when se beard him from the east front of the Capitol. The South had boasted that Jtff Davis would tear from tb? Capitol the stars and striprs He bad no fear of it That fl.ig was agoing to wave over the Capitol forever, all stars on it, too It might be that the star representing South Caro ina would be designated. but it would be there snvhcw. There were Marions and Sumters ret in South Carolina, and though bey might be driren into the woedsaad swamps as tber were by the tories, yet their power would be felt. Gwia tad to California to preach treason, but there were inen enough tbere to take care of the Pacific and If there were uot, they would send a few from Illinois or Wisconsin' He did not believe that Wigfall would go back to Texas at all Governor Houston and tbe Union men of that State would take care of her; and so it would be in every caae when the Union men made a stand Why.

Bennett of the Herald was a good Union man to-night, and be should not be surprised to see the next day the "States and Union" come out in favor cf the Adminis'ration. He expected so, for tLe was the eagles would be gathered together. He hoped they would cor.duct themselves to as to that they bad no hostile upn the 1 tk ...4 w.

ortak up this Government was not the right to radrtss the wrongs complained of. and I defied any man to prove that Oy demolishing tb another might be built up.
