New NoRK, Oct. 80 Last night was a glorious one
for old Tammany. We heard au honest and respected
Democrat who has grown grey in the cause, exeleim 'tOI
thirty years, man and bog, I hare ViSI!ed tis place, Dat
such q meeting, take IL fer oil iR all, fneveT sdtc.' IL
was indeed a great meeting. A few minutes before
o'clock tho door of the Hall was thrown open, and such
a rush of people we never saw. BY Z O'clock the room
was so over crowded, that the extra apartment was opcn-
ed, but sill there was not space to hold those people who
came 10 hear the report of their Nominating Committee.
More than five thousand people were OH tho street, Or in
the corridors, unable 10 get entrance.
Precisely at I o'clock, Daniel Jackson, Esq, called the
meeting TO order, and nominated the Hon. Stephen Al
len as Chairman, which was unanimously approves, Of
Saul Alley Esq, I'd Vice President, and T.. ID. Comstock,
and Robt. IL. Maclay, Esqs, Secretaries.
The meeting being thus organized, JouN l.. STEPHENS,
Esq. from the Nominating Committee, read an address to
the citizens, and FpANcis B. CUTTING, Esq. from the
same Committee, offered several resolutions, all Of which
were unanimously adopted.
The names OF the gentlemen nominated as candidates for
Congress and Assembly were the offered to the meeting
for approval or disapproval. On motion, each was put
separately, and all. save one, were unanimously approved
OF; that one was Dudley Selden, and nine tentIs of the
people were decidedly in his favor. Even his opponents
confessed this, and now his nomination being in the strictest
sense OF The word regular, they will support him with
heart and hand.
The meeting was then address, by Messrs. Eli Moore,
James j. Roosevelt, VIM. l.. Price, and MIR. Rice. In
the opening words OF MIR. WIN. l.. Prices eloquent speech
we eXclalm "FeHOtC- citizens, 4 tDOUId that the enemy
might see thS'' Ii they had seen the meeting crowded
asst was, by the old and young men of the party; by the
virtuous and patriotic OF the city, they would have confess
sed how hopeless is the crusade in which they have en-
barkcd. Had they heard the truth and force of the reso-
buttons and address-the eloquence, the spirit-stirring elo-
quence OF the speakers, and the heart felt shouts from thou
sands, which echoed 10 the business of their sentiments,
they would have been convinced, that the honor honesty
and patriotism OF Americans will triumph over corruption,
bribery and aristocracy. Ina word, such an assemblage
never was in Tammany Hall before, and proves 10 us, if
proof were wanting, that JACKSON, VAN buren, and
LIBERTY, are the watch words of an immense majority
Of our citizcns.-1 Ier. .4do.
On the conclusion of the Address, Francis b. Cutting,
Esq. rose, and offered the following RESOLUTIONS, which
were received with the most unsquivocal demonstrations
of satisfaction
Resolued, That in the acts connected with the political
life OF the present Chief Magistrate OF the nation, we re-
cOgniZe a course OF conduct AZ once generous, noble and
Independent, and emphaicallym marked by every feeling of
devoted patrioism,-a series of public services emineniIy
calculated to promote the interests of our beloved country
TO elevate its national character, and to secure to him the
gratitude of that people in defence of whose liberties he
devoted his early efforts against a foreign foe, with that
energy of character he now displays in securing their
rights and principles against the Vaccinations of an insidi-
Gus aud dangerous internal enemy.
Resolved, That Andrew jackson, in the independent
exercise of the constitutional power vested in him as Pre-
sident of the United States, did, in vetoing the bill for re-
chartering the National Bank, practically illustrate the
salutary provision reserved to the executive, by alording
the most inconIovcrhblo proof that power judiciously
dels gated will never be otherwise exercised than in pro-
noting the ends OF justice, and in advancing the public
good.
Resolred, That the simple fact of a great and powerful
monied institution interfering with, and Presuming TO in
huence the people in the exercise of their invaluable
blessing, the elective franchise, presents at once the
strongest evidence of the discriminating mind and uner-
ring Judgment, of AndrNa~!Nn "a american citizen.
L1eSo'rcd, That we estimate too highly the value of our
political institutions ever 10 permit them To he moved from
their basis by the power of wealth or the influence of aris-
tocracy;-that in the proud appellation of ''American citi-
zen Is TO be found a safeguard to every attempt that may
be made 10 enslaVe the minds of freemen, or render them
unworthy Of the heritage of their fathers.
ReSofUed, That Martin Van Buren,, a citizen alike dis
umgnlshed Tor his ability and integrty-for his untring
zoa' IN promoting the Democratic institutions Of his coun-
Uy-ior ms patriotic services rendered towards il, in the
many honorable and responsible stations which he has
hhed, has ever merited, and has fully secured the undivi.
ded affections, and entire confidence of the Democratic eli.
tizens of New York-of that State which is proud to
boast OF him "a a native son.
ReSOtUed, That his fearless and consistent course az a
leading and powerful advocate in the cause of tho noonIo
brought upon him in carly life, a phalanx OF opposition,
winch has pursued him progressively with his useful ca.
reer' ana which can be traced i'll the numerous but pitiful
a''acks o. me individual dclainer, up TO that notable coali-
ZION, formed by a majority of the Senate of the u. States
many oil which body have already been taught 10 know
mat the blow which they would have inflicted, will be
made to recoil most enectually against themselves.
neSotUed, That we recognise in William l.. Marcy, an
enlightened, patriotic citizen, long identified with the de-
m1Gracy OF me country and well entitled to the confidence
ResofUed, That John Tracy has equal claims to our ia
VoranIe consideration for his tried integrity, and consistent
political character.
Resoiced' That as in union there is strength, so should
every act that has a tendency 10 secure it, be hailed with
grateful delight by the Democratic party. That p. p
barbour, in m~asnanimously Withdrawing as a candidate
Tor the Vice Presidency, has shown his aiacb,,ont ,o -
party, and his desire TO conform 10 Democratic usages and
that ms conduct claims for him a high rank in the estima-
uon Oh ne friends OF the present administration.
