A largo Anti-Lecompton meoti ng was hold in tho IXth Congressional District, Now York, at Tarrytown, on Thursday afternoon, which was addressed by Col. Fornoy, anti-Lccompton Democrat," of Philadelphia and John B. Haskin, anti-Lecompton Democratic member of Congress from that District, and the People's anti-Lecompton candidato for re-election. Tho meo'ing was largo and enthusiastic. From tho speech of Col. Forney, wo mako the following extracts: . BUCrtANAN'S POSITION OK TIIE KANSAS QUESTION in 1856. Mr. Fornoy, referring to tho position of Mr. Buchanan at tho timo of his nomination for tho Presidency, said : No man felt moro deeply in reference to Kansas than did Mr. Buchanan. No man talked moro freely about it. In his letter of acceptance of tho nomination, and in the speech ho delivered to the Committee upon it in his parlor at Lancaster, (at which I happened to bo present,) ho Inid stress upon tho great principle that tho will of tho majority should prevail. Why, he said to me a thousand times, "Thb South must voto for nio, and the North must bo secured; and tho only way to secure the North is to convinco those gentlemen that when I get in tho Presiden-tial chair I will do right with the peoplo in Kansas. I am now CG years of age. I havo reached the time of life when I cannot have any ambition for a re-election, and if I have, the only way to secure it is to bo strong with my own people at home. I watched this struggle from my retirement in London; I have seen what I conceivo to bo the mistakes of others.' I am not responsible for tho ad-min'stration of Presfflcnl , Pierce; therefore will inaugurato a new system; I will show to those goptlemcn that a Pennsylvania FresU dent will stand firm to tho pledgos of a Pennsylvania gentleman and a Pennsylvania Democrat."'1 Now, fellow citizens, in that letter of acceptance, if you will refer tcrit it is not necessary for me to produce it here you will find that ho stated distinctly that tho people of the Territory of Kansas should be protected in the sacred right o( suffrage, unawed by any influence whateverand that the will oi the majority should prevail. '" 1 n- .. -. now rBHNSYLVANIA'TVAS CAnniED.'1'"' ""We went into tho canvass. "It Tell to my the great principlo-iof -popular sovereignty, Applause. That was tho standard which marshaled tho way.., . That was the shibboleth that was tho wiir cry.' From Lako Erie to the Delaware river from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia -in every village' and town in the State overywhero that I could induci a pen to writemy a tongue to spe'ak, that was tho tlietnci upon which thoso pens wrote and those tonguos spoko. Why, gentlemen, Mr. Buchanan had no confidence or reserve upon this subject. Ie wis public, ho was open, ho was unreserved in his declaration to everybody. He sent to the traduced John Hickman, in an adjoining county. He told him, through his friends and agents: "You, Mr. Hickman, occupy a peculiar relation; you votod for the Topeka Constitution; you denounced theKansas-Nebraska bill; you wero opposed to tlio repeal of the Missguri Compromise line; the Demoiratic part; of your district hvcj nominated you; tho Republicans like you; they bolievo in you. ' Now, I want you to take tho stump, and go belore your people, and pledge me, James Buchariiri,. that I intond standing 1y',' and if necessary, dybg by the this Principle of Popular Sovereignty." For myself, if I could descend to tho bisoness of republishing private letters,! might fill a volumo with similar pledges from similar authority. Why, gentlemen, when tho distinguished Soc-rotary of State,' Mr: " Cobb, ' who, from having been asuperfino Utiion man, has boon converted into a firo-oatcr, equal to Mr.Chau-berthidl?olf'-'When Cobb came Into Pennsylvania, anu iravcrsed our State from end to end and from county to coun ty.talk ing to delighted audiences all Ihs time, what was the burden of his theme? -Why Popular Sjvo- I would tnka tho Army fthd-'UioN'i.vy.Iwould uso every power of the Federal Goverii.'noPt, I would surround tho .Territory but what tfa people, of Kansas, should' voto, and byr their vote .tho de&tiifes 6f the uture ;Btato Should be decided. .Whenever , a Southern ofator came into Pennsylvania and called upon mo, I said to hiini- "Now. Sir, T havo but one thing to say tq you; wo havo but a singlo thing beforo the people? every day is making this campaign moro and more doubtful; eve. ry day is making the popular feeling more and more intense; Mr.. Buchanan himself, fuels that everything depends upon the prudence, the sagacity, and the spirit of conciliation by which this campaign is conduotcd, and for God's sake take care what you say about Kansas; leave your.violont Southern feelings at home; you must not come to threaten; you, liovernor Johnston, and you Jur.

I. Walker. And whon ho callod upon Mr. Walker, and nskod him to proceed to the Territory, Mr. Walker said to him, "Why, Mr, Buchanan, that would finish mo forever; it has ruined every man who has gono there; it will ruin mo. , I have reached that time of life when I cannot afford to risk all my prospects, and probably tho peace and happincssof my foinily." And he said furthor, as if gifted with a knowledgo of tho futuro, "I cannot run tho risk of being most probably' botrayod and deserted by tho Administration that appoints mo." Mr. Bn-chaimn said to him, "Mr. Walker, if you will go there, you will settle this quostion'in a few weeks. Everything is roady; hero aro your instructions, I pledge you my word that everything you desire, you shall havo." Mr. Walker as if inspired by a sublime suspicion, said, "Mr. Buchanan, I will not go to Kansas until you allow mo to meet your Cabinet face to faco, and ascortain from that Cabinet in person whether thoy will agree that I shall go thoro and carry out the pledges of the campaign of 1850." 1 -. ' . Accordingly a meeting of tho Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan was called. At tho meeting every member of tho Cabinet was present Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Walker wero present Mr. Buchanan in tho Chair. Gov. Walker said, "I have desired this meeting because I havo determined not to go to Kansas unless I have full instructions to carry out thoso pledgos and thoso principles; if there is any opposing voice 1 will not go; I do not want to go; it is by no means an enviablo position; but if I havo the permission and consent of you, gen-lomen, for this I havo asked, I will go." Tho Cabinet was polled: butono menbcrof tho Cabinet objected to tho programme laid down by Gov. Walker. I need not mention his numo. Gov. Walker said,-"That settles tho question, gontlcmon; I do not wish to go; a single ncgative.is sufficient, and I will retire from the field." But they took that member of tho Cabinet into an adjoining room, and there thoy convinced him that Gov, Walker was right. 1 hey returned and cavo Walker his instructions, lie went to Kansas with his instructions "in his pocket, and accompa nied by a man well known to tho country, Mr. stanion, wno went out with similar pledges. Now,-after this plain statement of tho facts, I will come down to my own part . of this campaign. MB.

They were so good as to send mo sufficient written testimony strengthening mo in tho position I had assumed. I went on with Walker and Stanton, until the Oxford andMcGue frauds took place, when there was a burst ol execration throughout the country. . ' Tho wholo democratic press had argued con stantly the policy of the Administration up to that time; but when Uov. Walker rejected these frauds there was silence. A pall fell over the columns of the Washington Union. .Nothing was slid upon the subject of tho Oxford arid McGee frauds. No voice was heard in Washington against it; but I supposed sorao malignant influences for tho moment, had surrounded that journal; that it had had an attack of some peculiar insanity, which had lately become chronic with it, aiid I allowed it to pass by. But when tho dark, damning deed of Lecoinpton was perpetrated, then I saw for tho first timo that those gallant men in tho Territory, Walkerand Stanton, and thoso who acted with them, had boon dosorted. I saw that Democratic principles had boon car ried out by them, and wo wero now called upon to turn our backs upon our pledges and botray our manhood. Applause Gentlemen, there was something too much of this: and when the cup was presented to my lips I refused it. Cheers. Administrations may change, Presidents may change but I had been too fully committed on this subject to go back to Pennsylvania and turn my back upon pledges which 1 had both spukun and written to thousands of men. 1 did not for a moment believe that tho Administration had concluded to abandon tho principles which had put them into powor; that they wero resolved to mako their policy la test; so when I wont to Washington and ca!I?u upon my old friend, I said to him, "Mr. Buchflitfu, tor the first time in our lives; wo are at variance; J find myself standing by one principle, having followed your lead, and you have deserted it." "Well," said he, "can't you change too, laughter, if lean afford to. change'?. ,Henowcd laughter. If you and Douglu3 and Walker will unite in support of my policy, itoio will not be a whimper of this thing; it wiU pass by like a summer breeze." I lot J him that it was very well with an Adroinstra-tion surrounded by office-holders, and living all the time in ' the atmosphere of flattery, that was followed by thousands of gentlemen who expected place; that they could come to him and say, "You are right, Mr. Buchanan; wo are down on our bellies; plcaso walk over us -please tramplo upon us and we will be happy and oontout, and bop you will believe your policy is right." ' "But, I tell you," said I, "thero is a still small voice In the peoplo that instinctively re jects frauds, and this is not only a fraud but a dishonor... . I do not claim to bo moro honest than any other man. I havo done as all politicians have some things which may not square exactly with the rules of religion and right, and which, if I have,' I regret them; but this thing will hot do. Loud cheers. I have reached tho stature and years of manhood, and. I cannot go back to Pennsylvania to eat my own words and become the slave of power. Renewed cheers. I cannot. But tbon, Mr. Buchanan, you must tolerate this difference of opinion. Gen. Jackson tolerated differences of opinion in his friends. Col-Polk tolerated differences of opinion, and you differed: with him in his views on the tariff, and yotyou remained in his Cabinet Mr. Pierce tolerated differences Of opinion. But here vou art.' Men whooutrou where you arc-r-who, ask- nothing ' at your hands who have refused your favors Jwre trampled all tho patronage that has bcon offered thorn under fiet; horo thoy aro, asking to bo tolerated in tho indulgcnco of an honest opinion." The reply to that was, "Sir, I intend to make my Kansas policy a tost." "Well, Sir," said I, ;"I regrot it; but if you make it a test with your ollioors, wo will mako it a test at the ballot-box." Loud cheers. Bepoatod efforts wore mado to hoal tho dif-fcronce. . But it scorns to mo, gentlemen , that whon the Presidency is conferred upon a poor mortal, it transforms hiin into a god, in his own estimation, or a lunatic. Laughter. Nobody is permitted to approach powor to tell the truth. Power never hears the tlinmlor voice of the people, sitting as it docs in its cushor.ed chairs, between its marblo walls. The Independent man, loud and bold, with a clear eyo, who comes to tell tho truth.is waved from tho Presidential presoncoas a rude intruder. Then wo went homo. As I said, repeated clforts were mado, and mado in vain, to heal tho differences. The conferring of this Presidential patronage of vast millions more than tho monarch of Groat Britain enjoys, and nearly as much as the Froiich Despot wields this patronage induced Mr. Buchanan t believe that ho could make his test successful. How was it made? Gentlemen, when tho chapter which shall detail tho manner in which the Administration has used its patronage is written, it will bo a black ono. When our children and our children's children como to read it, thoy will not believe that an Amorican citizen, elevated to the Presidential chair, in tho fnco ofsucha people, covered with such an armorof pledges, would havo gono into that chuir to havo used his army ayo, his army and tho treasure your money and mine your offices and mine for tho purpose of putting down ng illant band of men for standing by tlyj plain Gud's truth; and I wish that when tho historian comes to write, ho would not ho compelled to write, that that President was born in Pennsylvania. Applause. 1 : , Now, gentlemen, there has not bcon an ele ment lacking to rolieve this unredeemed lnfa my not one. There has not been a singlo circumstance lacking. Ihey have gone on step by step, with n tread of fate and destiny, trying to crush out tho brave and gallant spir its who havo stood forth asking for nothing but to bo allowed to do right. Look atthoboutn, in whoso namo this deed, Lecoinptonism, has been perpotratcd, after its', representatives in the Senate and tho House havo assisted in hounding down Stephen A. Douglas, and Da. vid C. Brodorick and their gallant compatri ots in the House, tho South begins to sayf as thev soe the Administration hell-hounds pur suing and attacking Douglas and his friends in Illinois: "This is too much. Wo are wil ling to 'accept Leeompton as gilded poison which has been extended to us. and which is to help us, though tho only thing it ha done has been to commit our lleprcsentative to a gross wrong towards tho North. But we cannot hear this persecution." ' ,: Read tho letter published the other day in tho New1 York papoi from-ltovtu'dy Johnson of Maryland.;, Bead tho statements of Alex. II. Stephens and llonry A.

They have their peculiar institutions. But thoy reject a wrong they reject an mla my they reject unfairness just as readily as wo do. - Ihey will not submit to to this tyranny of tho Administration upon Mr. Douglas. And so it will bo when tho Administra tion begin by courting tho South by declar ing tho only thing the 1 resident should do is, to yiold to tho South, that Administration will end by tho South tinning upon it. What then.' It will oo lylerized. Laugh tor.

My heart is overflowing with gratitude for this expression of your kindness, and I have hardly words sufficient to return you my heartfelt thanks. 1 present myself hero before you to-day, as the candidato for Representative of this proud, intelligent and wealthy Congressional District in tho XX XV th Congross expecting on this occasion to vindicato and justify my courso as your Representative at tho last session. I have thrown my banner to the breeze as an independent candidate for your suffrages, end for you to approve that course at the Fall election. AJT INTEr.VIEW WITH THB PRESIDENT. Our Government-has been wisely, by oar Constitution, divided into three branches, the Executive, the Judicial and the Legislative; and when I, as one of tho legislators of this couutry,was in Congress, I felt that I was not only the peer of the President but his superior, for I represented.tho legislative power, while ho only represented the Executive. My friend Col. Fornoy of whom I onco remarked ho was the Warwick of King James has said that the Executive of this country was not in the habit of having tho truth told him; and I think thero is a great deal of truth in what ho says. "Lot mo say to you, that as your representative, I callod upon the President on tho Saturday before ho sent his .nus-sago to Congress, and my little daughter Was with nib. ' 1 said to him, " Sir, I was elected as a friend of your Administration , I am your personal friend, and I desire to bi a friend of your Administration when it is right; but upon tho subject of . tho admission of Kansas under tho Lecoinpton Constitution, permit me to toll you, Sir, where you stand in the present House of Representatives. .. , :.; Thorp an 22 Democrats from the Free States, who aro not factionists or conspirators, who have met at my house every night, and I. am proud of having thoseAnti-Lecompton Democrats there at my house, to tuko legal measures against tho admission of Kansas under tho Leeompton Constitution, because they believed it was a choat and a fraud.

Luighter. "Sir," said 1, "whon I was nominated by the Convention which did dio that honor, 1 told my people those that wero kind enough to support me that I never would vote for the admission of Kansas under any Constitution, unless I kITow that Constitution reflected tho will of the majority of the people, and had been fairly submitted to them for approval or disapproval, at a legal election. And, sir. if I am to be outside of tho Democratic part-, I had rather be thero than to havo my little daughter disgraced by my going back with a hang-dog look, fooling that I bad betrayed my constituents."

Now, Mr. Buchanan did not believe that there wero twelvo apostles of hborty, of the Democratic stripo, who would oppose his Kansas policy, lb believed that the immense patronage of his Government,which he wielded with tho power of a despot, would forco Kansas into the Union, under the odious Lecoinpton Constitution, by which slavery would be perpetuated there till 1864, though thoro were 1,700 men in favor, of it to souiu 13,0'JO against it. And permit mo to say , fellow citizens, that tho men who fought that battle, desorvo tho highost honors of the country. Tho Republicans, and the Americans, and the anti-Lecompton Democrats, who took tho lead, defying not tho lightning, ut the patronage and power of Government, decided that Kansas- should not bo a slave State under that Constitution. (Applauso.) But let mo tell you hero that I am prouder to-day for giving my voto, (which was the casting voto,) in favor ol carrying on on investigation ooouiinose frauds which we believe iook piace in ivansas. than I would to bo Speaker of tho House for ten sessions. (Applauso.) THE CABINET TURNED INTO A WRITINO 8CII00L. Now, my friends, I think I have done my duty to you upon this groat issue. We first had to vote for tho appointment of a Select Committco, which was carried by a majority of one; next came to us tho Senate Leeomp ton bill, and wo voted that down. We then proposed the Crittendon Montgomory bill tvliinU nrnntil nfiWtlllllltf Rflttln thi n Host ion. Wo adoptee that bill, we adhered to that bill, and finally we refused to confer with tho Senate. Subsequently tho Senate appointed a Committee of Conference, and by a legerdemain of power and patronage led on by Mr, liuchanan.the r.nglislibill was passed, now, if the British Government had been beaten in this way tbreo or four times, there would have beon three or four changes of the Ministry, but our Government in some respecU is not as progressive as that of our mother coun try. ' But here there are no changes in ine Ministry, Nol the Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan during the progress of that struggle botween truth and liberty on one side, and oppression on the other, turned themselvesintoa regular writina school.' (Liuehter.) Ihey wrote letters to Tammany Hail and to a Philadelphia meeting, and i hear it announced now thatJokn 0.

I I huro also an ilhor plank In my platform I am dKainst all corruption, , I have been da. nounced by somo men for not going with my paity in covering up whatever needed in the puty to which they say 1 formerly belonged to cover up any corrupt operation In the ex ecutive departments of this Uovtfrnmeot. You will remember that I originated an in vestigation of tho purchase of a cortain place called Willelt'8 Point; and in this tnvostiga tion we proved that, though the Government hod appropriated hut $1"0,000 to buy this sito, yet the Secretary of War gave $200,000 $50,000 moro than was appropriated which was clearly illegal. Now this was land that had received no manure for fifteen years, and could have boon bought six months before for $45,000. This money went into the hands of Richard Schcll, whoso brother is in the Custom House. And it is not long since that they had a pia-nic upou this consecrated spot, Custoin-Houso officers, Post mailers, political mendicants and loafers generally, and then these men. " not having the fear of tho Lord before their eyes," and with impious hands and saorihgious spirits, even indulged in tho use of human bones, intending to blackeu mv mciuorv. when in truth, they are only bringing on themselves contempt, infa my and disgrace.

Laughter. Well, fellow-citizens, on the 10th day ol August Richard Sertoli received $115,000 by the sale of this il-lott's Poiut property, and deposited it in bank to his accouut. On the 12th he drew a dratt made by John C, Mather lor $20,000, which went toward purchasing the Fort Snelling nroDertv. In short, our War Department ore selling off the most delightful sites at the West, and with tho moooy from these sales are purchasing, at the most extravagant prices, sites at the East. I am against all such transactions, whether made by Democrats or Republicans. know-nothings elected by tub ADMINIS TRATION INFLUENCE LECOiTPTON THE ONL1 TEST, ii , i I am going to have a hard battle; my fight is an . individual ngui no, iv i , it is your light. (Applause.) It is tho ughi of the people against the oliice-holdurs the people who favor right and independence ugttinst ' fraud and corruption. I have done my duty toward you; a; that you ao your duty toward me m November next! Look at me South at the recentelection in Missouri. Woodson and Anderson were elected in 183G as Know Nothings. They voted lor Le eompton, and were Dominated- as know noth ings again, and tuy were ie-ciecwu uy i.uw to 5,000 majority each, because they hud done the bidding of the Blave Power because they I wen true to the interest oi weir seguuu. Thev have been tr.uinphantly eloeted. I have said that my District, with the exception of those in the cities, was ine most intelligent and the most wealthy in the State : 1 said there was as much integrity as in any otherdis trict in the State, and in the course I was pursuing I was reflecting the will of my couslit- uent!), or a large majority of them. Now. if you permit the Administration to elect a man who would te a mere register ana record Of their executive master, the peopit of the South would say that Haskin boasted the integrity and intelligence of his District, but they have not done toward him a we would havo done if he had voted with us. I am merely the representative man in this question; the representative ot higher principles; and if you wish to vindicate my course in Congress, it is these principles for which 1 gave my voles, for which I ask your approval, and not (he corporeal John B. Haskin. Personally, as I have a God, I would prefer remaining at home, enjoying the quiet comforts of my fireside at Fordham. But this is a fight wherein the principle which separated this Government lrom England the principle which has made every liberal govorument in the world, is at stake. Only a fewyeursago, fellow citizens, Kossuth came to this country, and by the power of bis eloquence extracted from a money-loving and money-worshipping peoplo, hundreds of thousands of dollars. For what? Because the people of Hungary had been debarred the privileges ofself-government by Austria, which we thought Hungary was entitled to. How ho caused the blood to boil at the butcheries of Haynau in Hungary, and how often my blood has been made to boil by the butcheries oHSuchanan in Illinois, where every American who has not come up to the test on Leeompton hasb eon beheaded. But the guillotine must fall in 18G0 I speak prophetically on the heads of tho men who erected tho guilotine and who operated it. Applause. I desire in conclusion to say lhat while in Congress I ditfercd from the Northern and Southern Democrats in relation to Gen. Wm. Walker, and vindicated the conduct of that brave old Comiodore Paulding. Cheers These mon at the South can vote against the Administration on tho Deficiency bill, on tho Artny bill; they could clim that Walker was a demagogue- and Paolding w a Tyrant, but the Administration bestowed do frowns upon them; they could do as they pleased. But let me toll the ofilce-holdcrs of this district who are seeking to brand ine with tho name of traitor, that I believe some of them, if they had been under George Clinton during tho Revolutionary War, when Paulding. Williams and Van Wert captured Andre, they would have called thorn traitors. Success in this country consecrates treason. Gen. Washington wa denounced as a rebel; tbo American forces wero all rebels in the eye of the mother country; but having been successful, they have become patriots. Trust.
