One Of The most curious meetings we ever saw
assembled took place last night at Tammany Hall.
II was called by the Seven Hundred Sparans but
we doubt whether there were many of that kind
of animals present. AT seven o'clock the doors
were onened, and about $50 persons were dlscov-
cred around the platform in the upper end of the
hail. At this time the avenues and windows were
filled with locofocos. As soon entrance was
effected, the ocofocos crowded into the hall.
At this moment the complexion of the meeting was
tame and inspid. Judah Hammond was appointed
President, and half dozen Others Vice-presidents,
and secretaries. A little news boy, who sells the
Herald for specie stuck himself up in the window
behind, resting his chin his hands, looking as if
he spoke thus what hell Of fuss about moth
ing"
In few minutes Ar. Ssnford got on his legs, and
read long address, in which Mr.. Van Buren, was
lauded heaven, and his denounced to per-
dtion. The oddly Of praise and censure mixed to-
gether like fat and lean, in long, lank streaks made
the Conservatives lock grave-the Locofocos laugh
and the neutrals cry /" oh, oh -
About half past seven, the Wings from their ward
meetings began to pour in, and fill the hail. 1t was,
now, Of the drollcst meetings ever saw fill Tam
many Hall. Wings Locofocos, Conservatives, and
neutrals all mixed up without order regularity 1t
resembled for all the world the present state of the
currency specie rags coppers counterfeits and shin
plasters.
When Mr. Sanford finished his pious homily, an
attempt was made by several young men to speak.
Now began the fun. The locofocos roared out IN all
the languages of Babel. Not word could be heard.
All was noise riot, confusion, and uproar.
"Whars the matter2 what's the matter 2"
"The Locofocos are only returning the Conserva-
tivss the compliments they paid them two years
ago."
What " as that :"
"The tank men turned the gas cocks on the Lo-
cofscsy-now if them chaps up there don't take
we'll turn the cecks on them"
Thus went on the meeting for considerable time.
The Conservatives finding there was no end to the
noise seized an interval between the swellngs Of the
their resolutions, and stole through the
crowd down stairs As their leaders disappeared a
long shout was sent after them. The Locofocos seized
the table organized anew-and passed their resolu-
tons amid deafening shouts of applause BY this
lime thirds of the crowd were Locoocos. "There
are only two parties henceforward," said one" the
loeofocos of Tammany and the wings of Masonic
Hall. The Conservatives are dshed and damned"
The question is now settled for the present. and all
future elections The Seven Hundred are down for
ever in Tammany FALL The locofocos arc Supreme
an the old Higram. We have seen both the late
meetings, and our opinion is settled, that the loceo-
cos number .four:ffls Of Tammany Hall. The
Conservatives may as well pack up bag and bag
gage, and trot over to Masonic Hall. Well shew them
the way. If they do not, at the next public meeting,
they will be knocked out without their breeches.
Hereafter am no longer democratic conservative.
No one shall ever have chance to insult me by ask
ing, care you in a minority7' For this week. am
locofoco next week, out and out whig and the
third as the lawyers say, rest; but Heaven save
me from ever being Conservative.
