The wing party has now reached the crisis OF Its
fate, and its future trumPhs May depend on the &C
ton of the young men tonight. On Friday last, al
ter COED deal of previous coauetry, large portion
of the wing party in the Assembly, under The nstl-
CATION of malignant spectators aitorsusy and WICK
eddy, abandoned the principles on which they were
ecc ted last fall and formed dangerous conspiracy
with the leesfocss, under the lead Of AbUah Mann
and Preston Kng,those two arch conspratsrs against
the commerce and currency of the country. Such
anunprincipled and astounding secession never took
place in any party. In this sudden abandonment OF
honor and principle, we find David B. Ogden, and
Samuel Ruggles true to their principles bat Of Willis
Halls Co. will not trust myself to speak.
Under the plea of attacking the Phenix Bank,
Deep desperate and damnable conspiracy has been
formed between the loco-focos and a portion of the
wings to destroy the banking system, and to upset
all the institutions of commerce and the currency 1t
is now nearly three centuries since the system OF TO-
reign and inland exchange has been in operation in
Europe This system is founded on the laws OF trade:
the principle of supply and demand regulating the
rates; the ridiculous and despolic principles Of the
usury laws never permitted to intercept its ope-
raen in commercial affairs For the first time, since
the establishment OF American commerce and bank
ing, body of men in this city, under the nstigation
of personal malevelence, and Nth selfish private
rie1os have undertaken to destroy this system of TO-
reign and inland exchange under the pretence that
the rates of negotiation usurious and therefore
void large portion of the wing party, elected by
the people of this city to protect moned nstittu
TONS have abandoned their daty, and are now taking
measures to break up the whole system of exchange
on which the foreign and inland trade not only of
New York but of the whole country depends.
UHder this state of things, the whig young men
meet this evening in Masonic Hail. and if they are
true to their princples-true to themselves-true to
the joint interests of trade and commerce, they will
not fail to express their utter detesaon of the wicked
Of these new ocofocos in the Assembly headed
and encouraged by the Board of Trade. Already the
alarm is unprecedented. Under such a menacing
vote as took place last Friday the banks are aban-
doning all exchange operations and the inland trade
is menaced in its most vital currents Ts express an
opinion the merits of Mr.. Clark for Mayor is well;
he has been an excellent magistrate and deserves to
be reelected. But if the meeting tonight neglect to
express their horror and contempt for the conduct of
he abandoned conspiracy Of party Of the wings
with the loeoocos, in the Assembly, entered into to
destroy the whole system of exchange, they will be
recreant to their prnciples-to their characterize
their safety-and to their party. Net a moment is
to be lost. Befearless-beju st-be bold-be decided
The conspiracy between the unprincipled wings and
the ocofocos under the auspices of Abjah Man de-
stroy the exchange system and all banks with it,
must be put down, or commerce will be put down.
AMERICAN AND ENGLISH OFFICERS AT THE BRIr-
sH Consul Son Saturday afternoon, Mr. Bucha-
lan the popular and excellent British consul in this
aty gave dinner party to Lord Gosford and Sir
francis Head, to which invited the military and
naval officers of the United States now in this CITY,
IOlOnel worm COulu n0t possibly dtten0 Deng called
way by unavoidable duty. We understand that atths
ocia meeting all the asperities and heart burnings
which had been caused by some imprudences oflan-
yuase on the part of Sir Francis Head in his Official
capacity, were smsothed and removed, and the ut
most cordiality and good feeling prevailed. When
people only understand one another, and are not toe
precpiate in forming conclusions they rarely err; and
Mr. Buchanan has done an acceptable service in bnng-
ng the parties together. He has earned his erGsua
tur among peace makers and good fellows.
Apropes-wc refer our readers TO letter from Wa.
tertown Jefferson county, in another column, for an
account of narrow escape of Sir Francis Head from
some rather unpleasant civilities.
National Theatre.
TnB SATANIC SCHOOL OF DRAMATIC Coxrosr.
TIos.-Sedaciion adultery, incest robbery, incendi-
arism and murder, form the principal features of the
new piece Of Ernest Maitravers, which we saw on
Saturday evening at the National Theatre and If any
new crime could but have been invented on the spur
Of the Moment it would doubtless have been pressed
into the service, and added seventh, the uRpardon-
able one, 10 the deadly sins above mentioned. The
dish of honers, however, was tolerably complete
and, until human nature becomes more depraved, or
a reward is offered for the preparation Of some hh
erto unheard OF aocty, the aathoress OF this drama
has reached the top most round Of the climax of por
tenieus and terrific guilt. The mind that conceived
this concentration accordingly s evidently imbued
with that rank and prurient spirit Of tragic effect
