A Great Charitable Meeting proposed TO be
held I'm Masonic Hall.
The rejoicing of politicians is over. The vul-
gar scenes Of dissipation closed for while 10
the fat turkey-the rich roast duck-the rrby wine
the sparkling champaign, have succeeded the excru-
eating headache-the pains Of indigeston-a pale
face-a haopard counenance-a swollen eye Niblo's
Saloon IS solitary-Masonc Hall is qllet-all the
smoky retreats of vulgar politicians untenantcd
We had supposed and believed that the great revo-
luton effected at the polls, few weeks ago. would
have called forth that species Of rejoicing which cor
responds with the moral, religious, and intellectual
character of free and Christian people. During the
last two years we have seen and been disguised with
the periodical drunken orgies at Tammany Hall, also
not M in celebration Of political vctorles-of the
rriumphs Of hypocrisy over honesty-of rapacy
over patriotism or and again has that Hall, rung
with the vulgar jestsof the peltican-he fanfaronade
of the speculator-tne syren song Of the cheat and
charlatan.
Ameag an educated and intellectual people, these
disgusting pohticu debauches can only lead odemc-
ralzation and destruction.
AT esgth, when the Independent spirit OF a free
people, heaved itselflike the young earthquake, and
at single blow struck to the earth the party OF Tam
many Hail. which had filled the land with corruption,
debauchery and fraud, we did hope-we did expect
we did think that no such similar scenes would dis
grace the first step of a revolution which is founded
on morals-on truth-on sobriety, and on virtue. But
we have been deceived. Some of the same men who
were taught the elements of political debauchery at
Tammany Hail. have reached the same bad emnence
in Masonic Hail. and, by that means, communicated
10 the new party the same madness, the same de-
moralizaton the same drunken excuses, which they
practised in the they abandoned. The editors OF
the Star and the Courier were taught In the celebra
tons of Tammany, the same fooleres which they
have introduced in the late celebrations at Masonic
Hall and Nblo's Saloon.
All these drunken celebrations, be they got up by
the wings or the democrats, spring from the same
passons-the same impulses. They are the apparatus
OF paltry politicians invented to deceive the great
masses of both sides, and TO their own selfish
purposes Of avarlce or ambition. A certain set OF
men in either party want to be continually before the
public eye in order to be ready at moment to catch
the first slice of the spols of Office coming in their d.
recton. Ia the recent celebration, the mass of the
honest wing party did not join-dd not participate.
They felt that victory the polls was sufficient re-
iocing without the indulgence of any vulgar scenes
of n;oxicauoH, riot or disorder, and they How feel
that as an expation for the revelrles Of Wednesday
nght-the fights-the gorRandlsng-the rows-the
riots is necessary TO do something that Will restore
the neral character Of New York TO It's former cond-
ton in the eyes Of the werld.
The project started, therefore, TO accomplish this
publication, is Great Meeting al that same Mason
&c Hail. without distraction of party for the purpose
of devisng and organizing measures calculated TO and
the deserted poor widows and orphans during he
rigors of the coming winter.
In the late scenes of debauch, the poor were neg
locted Some solitary examples of good feeling
cleaned up IN the general dcbauch, but they were
few and far between. Let the whole city now unite
as one man, in public meeting al Masonic Hall, 10
collect subscriptions for he benefit Of the poor next
winter. As u Single lliuiNiuudi VII Pue d""h
scription 10 the amount Of $500 in Chemical bank
notes. and we have do doubt the opulent the benevo-
lent the educated inhabitants of this city will also
contribute what they can to aid the great work
of charity Not moment is to be lost. We have
passed over the eecton-sound principles have tn
umphed. We have got through the celebration among
the politicians with only the loss of SIS 900 $1,000
squandered in wine and wassall." We have now
fair field before the charitable-the humane-the eiu
caled-the opulent-the virtuous-the religious-and
the poss and peaceable people Of this city, The win
ter IS approaching. Its rgors and horrors will be
greater than that Of any winter that has taken place
in twenty years. Let us all be moving-let meet
ing BE- csilcd-lct not moment be lost. Lctus wash
away the foolcrcs and inquiries of the last few days
by great and combined effort calculated to benefit
the poor in the ensuing winter.
This, therefore IS what we propose, and this pur-
pose we shall pursue until the minds Of the people
are awakened ts is importance, and take some mea-
sure towards its accomplishment.
