Coke, Esq. was called To the Chair, and John H
Powell and John P. Wetherell appointed Vice
Presidents, and Sam'l. Brashears and Henry G..

The crowd was so great. that the meeting ad.

immediately crowded.; the number that gained
abundance. occupying the room m one dense mass,
being computed at between Fifteen Hundred and
Two Thousand; and IL is thought that, beside
those, more than Two Thousand citizens tried in
vain 10 gain admittance.
Edward Ingersoll, Esq. presented series of
spirited resolutions with most opposite address,
setting forth aud defending the constitutional pri-
Nileges OF the Senate of the United States. These
resolutions were warmly and eloquently second
ell and supported BY WIN. White, jr. and Henry

gentlemen with most aninating speech, full OF

Alderman Binns prefaced few resolutions with
some pertinent remarks. The whole Of the re
solutions were carried bv reclamation.
We may refer to the meeting Of last evening
with pride, as Americans; it was.a triumph Of
constitutional attachments; it tells wei, tor our
city and our State. There was but one feeling
manifest in the immense crowd, some spirit in
them moved;" and we cannot believe that such a
rebuke to the adherents Of Mr.. Van Buren, against
the nation. will be without the most salutary and

the attention of those interested. to the notice re-
lative to renting the Fish Wharf. and to state
that the Corporation have lately added one hun

The Globe Us. The Lawyers. We recon-
mend to the perusal and serious consideration of
the Court Journal, preparatory to Its next trade
against American lawyers, little work, which
we see noticed in the Boston Courier. published
some where in Massachusetts, entitled "A Letter
to the Hon. Rufus Choate, containing brief ex-
posture Of Law Craft, and some of the encroach-
meuts upon the rights and liberties OF the People;
by Frederick Robinson" No doubt the editor
could collect some ideas worthy of himself from
this volume. He would be told, for instance,
how these wicked lawyers are destroying "the
liberties Of the people," by CT motions for non
suits, for discontinuance, for nole prosequi, for
retrospect, for injunctons, for continuance; by
Importance, BY whole defence, by half defence,
by oyers, 6y proferts, by vouchers, BY aid pray
ers, by tenders, by protestandoes, by estopples,
by averments, by giving color; by demurrng
for duphcity, for departure, for repugnances,
for representatives, for negative pregnants,
for surplusage, for prolixity, for veriica-
tons; BY pleading generally. by pleading spe
caly, by pleading doubts. by pleading in abate-
men; by repllcatons. by rejonders. by surre-
joinders, by rebutters, by surrebutters, by join
ing issue; BY hard words in the Saxon, in the
Roman. in the French, in the Latin languages"
Here would be a field ogo upon! The "great
Globe itself'' might we'll labor under the expos.
ure of so much wckedness and crime!!!!
We can assure the Boston Advocate that Mr..
Clay would "ferally practice upon the princi-
pie he lays down in hi, comments upon the pro-
scription of the present Administration" were
he to be elevated TO the office of Chief Magistrate
of this Republic He would prescribe no man for
opinions sake. He would remove no man for vo-
ting against hm->peaking against him, or wri-
ting against him. He would no doubt turn out"
some men who have been "turned in" by the
present incumbent-as for example Kendall
But there would be no rewarding Of iriends-no
Furnishing of enemies. This is the course Mr..
Clay's friends expect him to pursue. and the
course he would pursue. 1t was but the other
day that he proclaimed before the American Sc
nate, that he - scorned alike those who exercise
and those who submit to oppression" There
spoke his very soul!
