Brooks.-No thunder Of sfics helders-no Battery
from Washington can drive ~ frsm the position We
now occupy. The measures Of government nave
spread through all the ranks of society ruin and desc
lation. Oar late Wing victory has enhanced the va
lue of all property IL has made us all richer and
as sson as can reach the government through the
ballot boxes, every man who has only hand or an
ARM even finger will be made richer by our VIC
tory. have now said nay say-these are my senti-
ments-and they may make the most OF them
Mr.. Slosson. Notwithstanding the forclbe de-
camntlon OF the gentleman, there Is common sense
riclc to be taken Of his thing! We are now party
of wings going to the world professedy to do an ct
OF charity without the prudence to conceal the mo-
tlves by which the most of us are guided. 10 40
good to the poor, in order TO benefit our party ut-
mately as a wing party is not the right way to do as
much good as we can. There are many good and
benevolent conservatives and others, who, If you
make this las you propose to do aparty measure will
not feel at liberty 10 contribute what might be rejected.
Let all the benevolent people OF the city unite IN so
good cause-whigs, conservatives, locofocos, and
all. How are the committee TO know the wings from
the others?
A ro,ody Wig in the cro,od-rll veuch for the
9Th. You may know every who wears white
shirt
Another ro,sdy Whig.-P vouch for the l4th-
none OF the wings there wear whskers or holes In
their stockings.
Mr. BenedicL-Your honor spoke of this as a
general measure-the call was to all who choose 10
take part in il.
Mr.. Fisher wished to interrupt the meeting again,
but he was Put down.
Col. Norton.-1 his is an extraordinary case, re-
curing extraordinary measures. II would heap Goals
of fire on the heads of our enemies. would not have
ii agltated the committee, whether this is TO be
wing measure or not. But we can't otherwise Keep
the frrits Of our victery Our party will be destroyed
and with the destruction of the wing party will come
the destruction OF our common country. The watch
word of the enemy is to fan the cmbers OF the old fre
the rich against the poor But who has relieved
the city for the last several years The wings And
the men from Tammany Hall have been the almoners.
The Tammany party have adopted a different plan
TO keep together. There has been q tax on every
office holder, from IS to $500, according to the sal
airy.
Mayor.-It is 3 per cent on every office holder. l
know the fact.
COL Norton-There was man and his name was
Dodge.
Mayor-But he couldn't Dodge-he had to pony
Col Nile was an appraiser of cloths in this
city-he was ssed by the party-he wouldn't pay
he was removed from otficein GO days. Old MAYOR
Hughes is the only man that ever deed that party TO
remove him. They did not remove him for fear Of
consequences but sut of any respect tohs charac
ter, although he was old revolutionary soldier III
there IS one feature in this project you must succeed
Bring the rich and poor together There is more cha
rlty now in this city than ever was known before,
turn 1t to right coarse and you can never GO w ong
Bacon here again broke in. He wanted to break
up the meeting Sad If It would adjourn sine DIE ne
would pledge hmsefthat the Committee of76 should
call wing meeting to give wing charity on wing
principles.
Mayor.--Oh no. We've gone too far 10 adjourn
without doing any thing. We propose as wings 10
raise much money we can. If the conserva-
tives give much more shall be glad of it, If
the locofocos givsas much more shall be glad Of
it, though never heard of their giving any thing
Let the charity be wing in collection in expeDdi
ture. / hope Mr.. Brooks wont put into that paper a
resolution saying Resolved, That the conservatives
shant give any thing" or, Resolved That the To-
cofecos they never before gave any hir shant be
allowed to give now"
FIshcr.-Our enemies have endeavored to divide
us whom God has ordained should never be separa
ted. Our present proceeding is without parallel
there is nothing like it in the annals of ancient
modern history. We have gained great victory over
n desperate and depraved enemy and now we are GO
ing TO turn round and do them ali the good we can.
Show any thing like it on the page of the history
of any man, set Of men, or nation on earth.
The meeting cut Fisher short with the cries Of
"qucsrion!'
The Mayor put the question:" that committee of
IL BE- appointed one from each ward to call ameeng
of the Wings of New York in Masonic Hail. TO devise
ways and means for the purpose of carrying into ef
feet general illumination of the hearts and firesdcs
of the poor, without distinction of party"
This was carried, and the following gentlemen were
