! ALBANY, 4th Jan. 1887.
1t occurred TO me- my dear Mr.. Editor while lis.
tenng the speeches Of the Canada orators at the
| great meeting held this evening IN the Park that
tall account OF II might not be unacceptable 10 you
and your readers. so without further ado, will en-
deavor To give you a sketch of the whole affair.
This morning. an invitation was sent to the Senate
and Assembly 10 attend public meeting in the Park
al clock, care beng taken not to state for what
purpose said meeting was called. At an early hour
both houses adjourned and at three clock the steps
of the State House were crowded with boys, men,
| negroes, &c. &c. One man very consequentlay
guarded staff, on the top of which at right angles
| ran a cross piece from which were suspended various
heart shaped insignia of different coors, having the
names OF Warren, Green, Marion, &c. inscribed upon
them Back OF hun stood another man, having aloft
l large yellow wooden eagle with awkwardly ex
banded WINGS dressed in petit national colors abou

On all sides were men that paraded varlously colored
silk kerehlefs on poles. Some of them did not speak
very highly for the cleanliness of their owners
| The boys kept up great nose. Nothing would
silence them AIR. Lush, who was appointed to
read the resolutions, had his pains for nothing for so
great was the row, that he appeared for all the werd
like dumb man playing the orator. In the midst of
the huzzas screams and calls that rose from eve
ry side, threatening TO break ap the meeting stento
| nan voice bawed out:
"Mr. Mayor-wl you please 10 read them are re-
solutions, seen as how We did not hear one word of
| EN-, guess"
! The shouts stled fora moment by the sound of
this unearthly voice, broke out with redoubled vgor
and force at the conclusion of this request and min
gled they with the horse laughs of the audi
ence, it seemeda if Bedam had been let loose.
"Order, order, order" cried the Mayor.
"Hurrah for the patriots"

"Order, order" from hundred voices.

foot of the stairway and giving those in the portico
fair chance TO see and hear. The Mayor then read
the resolutions, the substance Of which was:
RESOLVED, That we are free people and will con-
tinue to be free.
That we have right to do please in spite of
laws treaties and such restrictions.
That nobody but the government is bound by trea-
ties with other nations.
That it is our duty not to compremt the govern
ment
That the Canadians are trampled on by British ty-
ranny, and we bound to sympathise with them
and help hem.
That we will defend our territory TO the last drop
That the blood shed at schlosser mus, be wiped
out by blood.
That the government is bound to demand ample
satisfaction.
1hatit must and shall be given.
That American freemen will do as they please in
spite Of the British government or the United States
Marshals.
were and trite they were, received with the
loud cheers of those round about the stand. So soon
as the Mayor finished, some cried cut
"Long live North America, and huzza for Van Bu-
renw
Three times three TO this wish, odd as il was.
Nearly all the speeches were characterized by
thoughtless rage and excitement against Great Brit
ain. The English government was abused 10 the
utmost extent. II was set down az the essence of
tyranny More of the Russian Bears and Turkish
Sultans could compare with IL.
Mr. Dickinson, state senator, far forgot himself
as TO minge in the half mad debates of this meeting.
He said" If England does not keep sharp look
cut the Americans would cut loose the sea.glrt isle,
and set il afoat on the ocean 10 sink 10 everlastn
perdition fate worthy Of her many crimes and fu'
rious oppression" Such was the substance oil the
language held on this enlightened day, by legislator
of our own State. He should 60 and hide ms head
in shame but what we to expect OF man who
would descend from his high position as represent
alive of the people to catch popular applause BY play
ING upon popular preudices HIS great flourish how
ever was received with huzzas and laughter at so odd
a conceit The people we're evidently surprised TO
find SO great a man talking 80 wildly.
In the midst Of one of the speeches some wag of
fellow cried out as load as he could
Huzza Huzza The Patriots have defeated the
Royasts, and marched into Canada Huzza!
Hurza
He was hustled over the heads Of the spectators to
The stand There he communicated the same to the
