f hId;no such a meeting, and the capacity OF 'he
people for doing So without creating nois OF pefpe'ra
Ting ourages. Every night this week, separate anu
distinct ward meetings have been held throughout 'he
city. The spirit is very high and there Is genera
determination among the great mass OF the people 10
conduct The popuar movement now began to some
praetical termination that may lead to reform and
4 regeneration so much wanted in the present state
of the country The spring elections are approach
ing, and we mistake the spirit which IS now "aKeo
up, if it should lead to entire political rerofu
tisn in this city and country.
Now what is to be done Shall we oppose this
meeting for fear of more riots? Shall we desire the
quiet orderly citizens TO avoid Il I! Shall we deny
the right OF the people TO meet! Shall we deny the
existence of numerous evils, now pressing down TO
the earth large masses of the people throughout the
country?
No such thing Heaven forbid we should act SO
foolishly.
We beg, we pray, we entreat we beseech every re-
spectacle and orderly citizen in New York attend
this meetngto give by his presence character and
tabityto take it out of thc hands of the mise
rabe blockkeads who caused the former to ead in a
rot-and TO conduct this great popular movement 10
ats eliminating pont-one Of the greatest ciru
iutions that erer took place IN any country The
rupt imbece dastardly contemplate purchased spe-
culating Wall street prints, caused the former meet
ing to end in riot and outrage by persuading respecta
BILE citizens not to bo with their fellows in the
same assemblage. Let not the respec table nhab-
fants heed such decevers again. The of the
times the present high prccs-the singular contra
dictons in our industry and trade, have created a
prodgious popular movement, and it is generally be-
iieved that these things have been mainly pro-
dHced by the action of Legislative bodes-the Ger
Poraon--the Legislature-the Congress.
This belief cannot be denied--ihis impression can |
not be expunged The people wish and intend to as
certain if this be An election for the city GO
vernment is to be held in few weeks There is a
fixed determination to begin the great civil revolution
by making an entire change in this body. All the |
rallyng cries of old parties abandoned. Dcmoc-
racy is humbug, and whiggery a greater, unless
flour at Sl2 barrel-beef at lS cents per pound
bread at sixpence mouthfu-and house rent fifty
per cent higher than ever known, may be considered
the essence of these Siamese Twins of political char
latansm--the democracy" of Tammany Hail. or |
the "whggism" of Masonic. Strong, sound, plain |
practical good is creating this revolution. Ii is
reason and argument, and freedom Of thought and
opinion, opposed to the impudence, the trash, the
folly the pretenson and the anfaronade of the poll
tca clubs of Tammany and Masonic Halls.
We beg, therefore, that all respectable people will be
careful in attending the meeting next Monday. They
can prevent riots if any should be attempted. But
aoe must hare riots-no oufrages-no destruction
ofproperty The -four stores and the coal yards and
the meat markets ought TO be well garrisoned with
ball cartridges There is indeed small gang of des-
parate wretches thieves, pickpockets theatrical vaga-
bonds, who always trying to kick up riots for the
sake of plunder and pllage. Such must be put down
and the great body of the people in New Nork can
easily put them down and preserve the city in quiet as
they can cat their dinner with good appetite
PnrTTr CHAsLorrr WArsos.-The town is in a
complete hubbub about the of our favorite
the lovely and beautiful Charlotte Watson The facts
of her recent retreat to Long Island are these Miss
Watsons talents the support of the whole family
to which she is attached The lady who is called |
Urs Watson is not the mother of Miss Watson-her |
mother being in England. In this state Of things
Miss Watson is very anxious to get rid Of the family
qroupe with which she is surrounded, AM TO the
proceeds of her own talents for her own USE So say
we too We have seen Mr. Watson frequeatly at our
Office and he is clever civil kind of person, but we
insist upon il that Charlotte Watson the favorte Of
New York the sweetest vocalist of the day-the ta-
Tented little Syren ought, in honor to have the bcne
fit of her own warblings, and this question mean to
put TO n New York audience enc OF these nights.
SO much on this point Meantime we learn by
private accounts from Long Island, that pretty
Charlotte is as frolicksome in Oyster Bay young
innocent fawn in the vale Of the Rhine beautiful
gazelle on the mountains Of Judah. She is perfect
Hebe on Helicon, Jumping about laughing, and en-
loving the fresh air with all the wildness of YOUTH
beauty and genius During her journey down in the
stage, she exhibiteda quiet demcanor-
CLEAN of soft fire would from eyes the little
funny incidents turneo up the road She did not
sneak much-and no one knew her The same day
after her arrival she went little drive, cast from
her all her theatrical cares and then burst forth in the
genuine joyousness of innocence and frock. She is
living the family of friend, andakes great delight
in the children singing them snatches of songs, and
improvsing her conceptions and feelings with full
ness ofgenius and originality that is quite anus
ing
Miss Watson has something Of the same eccentric,
romantic fearless spirit which characterized the late
lamented Madame Malibran. When the latter divinity
was in this country, she travelling the Cats
kill Mountains Springs, Niagara, &c. These who
accompanied the divine Garcia" say that she was
the most singular being such occasions they ever
saw She would 90 out in the morning with gpsey
