friends of the independence of the country" Ks
Whether our morning cotemporary had any
invidious motives IN copying the foregoing pla-
card, we cannot say. But one thing is certain;
If the artizans thus appealed to obeyed the sum
mons, they form, when collected, one OF the
most respectable looking bodies OF men that we
have ever seen assembled together on any such
uccasion-httle entitled either IN appearance or
conduct to the epithets applied to them in some
Of the jackson papers, by which within two or
three DAYS past, they have been denounced as
"shameless creatures" " noisy wretches, Sin
fatuated and besotted Operatives" With soften
sve lungs" who with ssshameless audacity,"
are base enough" for 'sthe commission OF any
outrage" The hour of meeting had been ap-
pointed at O'Clock, which was considerably too
early at this season ct the year.
At qua. :er past o'clock, about one thou
sand persons were collected, and the meeting
was organized by calling Isaac Pierson. Esq. to
the Chair, and appointing Messrs. Ralph Lock
wood and Joseph p. Simpson, Secretaries The
meeting proceeded at once to business, although
the people were at that moment assembling IN
yrowds-pouring along theseveral avenues OF the
mark almost in solid columns. In less than halt
IN hour, there were, at the least calculation,
THREE THOUSAND people present Mr.
Redwood Fisher opened the meeting BY few
pertinent remarks. in the course OF which he
commented with merted severity upon the IN
shifting manner in which the manufacturers aud
the artzans of this city have been treated by the
Evening Post, and other papers, which, on other
occasions, when the votes OF these same artiZans,
manufacturers, and dealers in American merchan.
disc, are wanted, are wont to speak OF them IN
quite different tone.
General Robert SwartwOut then assembled the
forum, and read the resolutions in loud, clear
voice. sounding over assembled multitude like
the =. bio base of the ocean, The question was
taken on the resolutions separately, and they
were carried by reclamation. The meeting gave
three cheers, which made the welkin ring, and
adjourned At the time Of the adjournment,
the people were yet assembling in vast multi
tudes, and continued to arrive in columns, Tor.
twenty minutes. We believe that had the pro-
ceedings been protracted another halt hour, there
would have been from eight to ten thousand per-
sons p,esent-not s'apprentice boys to throwuP
their hats and shout at every resolution" accord
ing to the elegant phraseoIogy Of an evening pa
Der, but of sober, orderly, and respectable citi-
zens Such was the complexion OF the multi
tude assembled on this occasion-such was the
meeting which the Jackson papers exultlngly
predicted, il their own troops would keep away,
would 'form meagre and sorry affair.
We add the .resolutons as they were adopted,
and have been officially published.
At a very numerous meeting OF the friends OF
Protection to the labor and industry Of the United
States held in the Park, in front Of the City Hall,
in the city Of New York, on Monday evening,
June IL, 1882, Isaac PiersOn, Esq. was appoint
ed President, fchabod Price and Benjamin De-
milt. Vice Presidents. and Ralph Lockwood and
Joseph p. Simpson. Secretaries.
The following resolutions, presented by R.
Fisher. ESQ. seconded by Gen. Robert Swartwout,
after having been severally read, were one and
