The flag was displayed all day yesterday from tn
centre window of Masonic Hail. to intimate to tn
Wing Young Men Of New York, that their presenc
required to farther the great purposes Of repab
reform in the evening; or in other words, to
spend to the nomination of the Wing Mayor, b!
which the influence of the dirsfu hydra of loccfoco
ism should be raralysed in this city. The meeting
was conveked at seven o'clock the usual hour o
meeting, at which time about score of persons wer
assembled, who amused themselves by reading thu
pacards, and looking wistfully at each new conner al

whose efforts the city was to be regenerated, and

approaching contest and the probability of success
ful issue to the exertons Of the Wings. They were
rather dident in their expressions, and by means
confident in their tone; and argued that the Conser-
vative candidate would draw off about 1000 voters
from Mr. Clark whose numbers would be farther d.
mnished by the absence of many clerks, and
ether young men who had left the city through the
difficulties of the times 1t was considered that the
contest woald be very close one, and that it was
impossible and idle to hazard any speculative epini-
ons as to the result. The best thing was to await
the issue with the same patience as they were now
expecting the arrival of Mr. Robert c. Wemore the
Chairman, and the other members Of the General
Committee Of Wing Young Men, whose appearance
was now anxously looked fer.
At o'clock, the hall was about half full, and the
gentlemen present became clamorous for the COM
mencement of the proceedings; and after some time
Mr.. Stebbins mounted the rostrum, and nominated
Mr.. William Kent as chairman, with the usual staff
of assistants and secretaries The meeting being
gained, the call read, and responded to by loud
cheers About two thousand were present at this time.
After panse to
The Chairman rose, and stated that this was the
first tne for many years. that he had taken any part
in politics. II was IN vain TO think that any person
could longer remain wrapped up in privacy; if per-
sons did not now mingle with politics, they must 90
without bread. When the name of the Wing cand-
date was mentioned, he doubted not ii would be re-
ceived with acclamaton. 1t was not SO much the
York afforded 10 the rest Of the Union which would
model itself according to the precedent given by this
city For the course of Is months last past, the
of wing victory had been strengthening, from the
of oppression, that worthy citizen, James Guck; let
them do their best to retain in their delegation the
honored names of Curtis and Hoffman. 1t was
ing to the wings of New York that the west had been
ACCOMPLISHMENTS redeemed, and Kentucky, |
faithful aAd true had stood boldly FORTH andw
the admiration of all. The chairman adverted to the
immense responsibility that devolved upon this meet
ing, and the necessity of regeneratng the United
States, and in the language OF Henry Clay, "drive
the Cloths from the capitol" cloud cheers) and give
the lie TO the administration fallacy of reaction.
Mr.. Ullman then commenced SET Grafton. He
stated that he had been instructed to prepare an ad-
dress for this occasion. New York in its population
was equal TO many states Of the Union; and when
consider greatness and resources, the period Of
charter election was most momentous one. How
ever important this might be, when we consider the
national consequences TO be expected from IT. all other
considerations sink into insignfcance The speaker
then alluded 10 the Sub Treasury Bill, and argued
that its fate depended upon the result OF the Charter
elections in New York. He would net 60 into an
elaborate discussion OF the evils OF the Dill bat there
was one important view. In forty years, from weak
people, we had become mighty nation under the
operation of tried and approved system why fling
that aside, and adopt crude and experimental plan
Mr.. Ullman then read an address 10 De adopted II
approved by the assembly, its voice IL enumera
ted the evils that had arisen from recent mis- govern
ment; the dreadful inconvenience suffered ny CON-
merce and business; the ruin by which manufac-
lures and labor had been paTalyzed and the neces-
sty of wrestling from the hands of those in authority
the power they had abused TO the injury and disgrace
of every class Of the community. This address, as
read ssanded very poetical and we should have ina
pined from the tone Of the reader, that II was in
blank verse, SO strong was the imagery and so me-
taphorcal the language.
ar. Sergeant of the Young Mems COMMITTEES, Of
fered string of resolutions approving ct the conduct
and servises Of Mr.. Aaron Clark cordially respond
inc TO his unanimous nsminatioR 10 the Mayoralty
and promising him unanimous re election. I've
hement chccringl That the approaching election in
wolves net only civic but national consideration
and shews that every popular election is but a new
step in the march of wing triumph. That the meet
inc cannot too highly commend the efforts Of wing
members in Congress and the Legislature 10 redeem
the character of the country, and restore IT To its for
mer prosperity. The other resolutions contained
comparison OF the osenshle acts Of the adminlstra
tioa, and the disastrous effects arising from them in
an,ithe,ical contrast, denounced the Sub Treasury
Bill, aud pointed out the evils that would arse from
IL. II concluded with call upon every class OF the
community opposed TO the NAL administration OF the
government TO pledge itself 20 discharge of It's ds-
w nj the coming election, and justify the jubilee OF the
November victory. tf.lsrH
Mr.. Sergeant enforced the resolutions in q very
vivid and srgumeniave speech, IN which he reprobs-
ted the bad measures and worse who had ruined
the hopes Of the country Their proceedings were
sufficicnt WING argument. The speaker appealed TO
The rock Of Plymouth, the heights Of Chsresiown,
and the fields Of Yorktown. Enthusiastic cheer
