scheme with mach point and fecitous expression,
and illustrated the subject by the wretched condition
of the countries where hard money system prevails.
Let separate the governmentfrom the money, said
Mr. Patterson, and let as keep the money ourselves.
| Enthusiastic cheering In this cause let our blood

rated fremit
Hugh Maxwell Esq, then rsse, and was received
| with much applause. He disclalmed for himself and
the Wing party, any intention to shed blood, as al
lnded to by his younger and esimaoie friend Mr..
Patterson. Constitutional privileges were appeal
| andy them the great Wing party would be enabled
reach the expressions and corrxptons ofthe coun-
try. He drew comparison between the voice of the
people, and the prophets writing on the wall--but
the voice had been dsregarded and therefore are we
met together this night. We have been deceived and
BETRAYED by villany anexamped in the history of
nation. Mr.. Burke said, in the commencement Of
the French revolution, chasm in the place of
france" When this was reported TO the anarch Mi
rabeau, he exclaimed, with fendsh malignty-
YES there is chasm, but it is the ehasm of vol
cano." Mr.. Van Buren, might say-here is chasm
IN the prosperity of my country; il is the chasm of
locofoclsm, to be filled up with the happiness, pros
peri,y and glory of the country. Had such attempts
as MIR. Van Buren, been made in Russia, Austria, or
Prussia the peasantry would RISE the monarchs
would have been leloss in their graves-these people
care nothing about political matters, but they will not
suffer their personal comforts, the happiness of
their families 10 be tempered with. In such an
attempt Louis Philippe and his hundred thousand
bayonets and the King of England, would be ex-
terminated root and branch. Mr. Maxwell alluded
10 the calf OF Egyptian idoatry and paralleled it
with oar Tammany calves of the buffalo genus vora
clous and destructive monster buffalo with brazen
fsrehead-brazen enough to have the figure head of the
Constitution engraved. II has another feature long
and dirty tail Roars iau ghter amid lrhich hel learn
ed gentleman concluded his simile.] He then said
that no one could hesitate to declare that the sub
treasury scheme the foreseen result of the remo-
val Of the depostes IN 1884 The learned gentleman
went into heightened details respecting the removal
of the dpostes as precursor of the present scheme
for corrupt purposes connected with the suspension
of the banks, 10 create an Irresponsible power at
Washington, TO lnlurc business and to enslave the
country. Mr.. Van Buren, reminded him of Oliver
Cromwell, a much cleverer, ADLER, and more vrtu-
Gus man. Mr. Van Buren, said, if any better inca
sure could be proposed, he was willing to adopt it.
Cromwell when called to the protectorate said, it
was an arduous task-but he looked upon it only as
the trust Of constable deputsd to keep the peace
Such was the conduct of Mr.. Van Buren,. But there
are honest men in congress whom Mr.. Van Buren,
cannot seduce-the Conservatives were an instance
The more Mr. Van Buren, beats upon his political
gong, and shouts from his political mnaret The more
difficult will he find it to draw the Conservatives TO
his worship. The more he rings the more they won't
cems-lke the saying Of the servant girl when her
mistress rang the bell too loudly and too often. The
vessel of the state not 10 be managed by selfish
crew, luffing, veering and trimming in the wake
of long, low, black, plratical locking schooner.
The learned gentleman wound ny with peroraton
auding 10 Bunker Hill Lexington, Saratoga and
New York. Webster and Clay, and sat down amid |
The loud and hearty cheers of the assembage, when |
ne recommended them to drive the Goths from the
capitol, and draw the triumphal chonot out whether
was TO be filled by Webster or by Clay.
Hiram Ketcham, Esq, spoke with much animation
apon the currency, and was succeeded by
~ Stevens, Esq, who moved that the blanks in the |
to the Legislature may be filed up with five
names that were then mentioned, after which the
meeting adjourned. At this time there were about |
1900 gentlemen in the room.
None CHARrrABLE MovEMESTs.-Thre ladies, an
elderly and two younger ones, and very beautiful
ones too. called upon upon me yesterday in relation
to new Female Charitable Society, composed prin-
cipally of benevolent ladies, which they call the
" Phlanthropic Society" The elder lady was most
eloquen, and persuasve-the others quiet the first
balmy breath of msrn in Paradise.
II seems that the first meeting was held last Mon |
day evening, at which number were selected as Of |
fcers and managers. They have already commenced
heir abors, and from their Entiring efforts in the
cause of humanity, we have no doubt they will do
much good. Several poor families have already been
assisted by their incessant efforts, aud more we hope
will have an opportunity OF sending to heaven their
grateful prayers which good and generous deeds call
orth.
During the present winter there has been much |
talk among men and polltlclans about the poor-but
who can seek out objects and administer relief 30
Justly as benevolent womani None-not one.
Nrw.YoaK February Z, e3e
Mr.. JAMES q. BErsErT, Esq
SIh-In your paper OF this morning you have an
article headed Female Assistance Society,"" in which |
you remark that the Society is composed Of num-
Der oflades of benevolence and responsibility, who
spend a large portion Of their time in seeking out OBJ
jects Of charity among their own SEX DC"
Your remarks certainly correct so far they APP
ply TO that society. But yeu have been led into an
error in transferring into the Herald the list of the
Of the Nep York Clothing Society instead
Of those who conduct the affairs Of The FEMALE As
sIsrANcE SocrEry. The design Of the first is mere
~ TO assist in clothing the destitute, while that Of the
latter is to relieve tho sick poer-bsth excellent nst
futions.
Al the request Of some Of the managers Of the Fee
male Assistance Society, have the pleasure Of hand
ing you a copy Of their report
1 am, Sir, your obedient servant,
FRANCIS HALL.
REMAnKs.-It was entirely an error on our part
which we corrected in our evening edition Of yester
iay In the excellence Of both societies we agree
with Mr.. Hall, and shall read the pamphlets, partly |
for the sake of the ladies' partly Of curiosity parity
to who they are and partly to help the great cause
BoAlD or ALDERMEN, Feb. IA memorial was
presented from several citizens praying that the Wa
ter Commissioners may not be allowed TO interfere |
