none went below that amount, while others were os
posed to increase their supposed advantage.
The impotence of the meeting was very great, and
soon broke out into those audible deinonsfs'ions
which are usual i'm public assemblages, ana winch
were kept unnecessarily until the committee meeeHs

gallery and orchestra crammed and the floor per-
feet Jam.
The meeting was called to order by Ar. Wetnore
who nominated, pro puGor! AIR. Redwood rlsher as
chairman as If 10 throw an ah OF ndlcuie over the
proceedings. Dir. Wetmore nominated for secreta-
RES Mr.. Uhlman and himself a, s.s c.
Mr.. Fisher, the chairman, then commenced an ora
ton, in which he stated that he had no doubt the city
OF New York was wing (Three cheers) And this
fact Nc deduccd not only from what ne mad neara rom
friends but from the omissions OF their enemies
The five first wards sure; Mr.. Fisher proceeded
TO give account OF the results III the different wards
which he did with the gesture and tones OF an cRer
gexmenos. When Mr.. Fisher had ceased, there was
a faint cry or two for Brooks, Dcky Rker, Willis
Hall, Daniel Webster Hugh Maxwell, Webb anybody
o somebody, Uhllaan Alderman Brady and other dis
tngaished pcrsenages In this way aosut hi'sen mn-
utes were consumed, no one beng ready win speech
until Mr. Smith made his appearance.
Mr.. Smith commenced with trulsm that the votes
were polled, and that all that might be SAID would
have no effect upon them. They were all IN deep
state of anxiety, il prevents fancy from rowing, and
judgment from acting They had fought against
mostrase corrupt, and contemplate party which had
scattered their bastard lies the four corners of heav-
en-, for the base sa nders against the mayer had no
paternity. They thought that lie wei! stuck to was
equal to the truth He sorry that people hitherto
respectable had expended their property layshly to
oppose the whig cause like the unjust steward making
themselves friends of the mammon OF unnghteous-
ness and like the Indian, offering the devla quid OF
tobacco TO prevent his doing them mischief. The
fabric created by the present administration, was like
the house built upon The sand-as the poet says
Pray ers and tears and signs all sap its base,
And tear the pillars Of allegiance from H.
The speaker concluded with some allusion to his
native state, Connecticut, which was received with
yels and roarings of Phrenzled transport.
The Chairman then said that if General Kimberly,
of Connecticut, was in the room, the meeting would
be happy TO hear him-bst the General did not make
his appearance, and the cries raised again for
dozen different persons quite promscuous Ike" as
they say in the SIKH ward
AT length Mr. Morrison rose and after few intro
duc0ry and deprecatory observations, congratulated
the meeting the result of The three days battle. He
enlarged upon the importance OF the contest, and the
interest with which il viewed by the country
Isaac Hill was left alone on the granite rocks of New
Hampshire to sing the pastoral melody, CONSIDER,

was seated, like Roman yrant IN his palace at Wash

is burning. N&
The chairman stated that the return from the
cond ward had been recelved-Clark, 6S2 cloud

Kisses at the announcement OF the votes for Mr. Va
rian unless it was L the lndecency of the chair man
in making the paltry alluson to the worthy Alder
mans parts of speech
Mr. Morrison then resumed, and trusted that the
meeting would not be satisfied until it had torn from
the modern tyrant the diadem by which his brows
were surrounded. Here there was strange outcry
from corner evidently occupied by some drunken
partsans from the polls. The wings are far below
their opponents in discipline and management
Mr. Samuel jerks Smith here made his appear
ancs, and stated that II was not often ne presented
himself TO their notice; Wings OF New 4 rk, glory
10 meet you now for this the hour of your triumph.
To me il is glory look int your faces for have
long walked among the ranks of cravens hating them
as do. Although we are now IN the ascendant
am happy TO tell you that am pleased that we are
victorious. The wings men of rank and standing
but as soon as they think that they are likely to be
successful they stay at home. When he came here
il was to listen, and he had listened with satisfaction,
and felt glew of patriotism with which his heart had
never beat before (Hurrah)
Here there were loud cries for Maxwell, Ming
Dicky Rlker Warian, and Baldwin. The Chairman
was frequently obliged to call the meeting to order
He said the meeting would be happy to hear PLAIN
man.
Mr. Kennedy stated that the only reason he came
forward was from similude TO Mr.. Baldwin, whom
the chairman had called plain man; now hs was
pIane maker; and that was hissexcuse for obtrudng
himself upon their notice. Since the result Of the
Connecticut election, a great many people called
themselves natives of that state. He introduced Dir
ana of the Ephesians, General Jackson, Nebuchad-
nezzar on all fours and eating grass-the ocofscos
of Connecticut had gone grass, lCheers there was
plenty Of room there for the locofocos Of New YORK.
Since the first blow up in Andrew Jacksons cabinet,
none OF those who fed the public crib were allowed
10 taste unless they could swallow evcrydlsh that was
connected in the Kitchen. The speaker gave an ac-
count of his boyish adventures in climbing trees, and
catching young birds, whom ne used TO feed with
corr, bread, and stones; why did they swallow the
stones7 because they were dropped in. (Rapturous
applause.)
eas,sned by the desire of some Of theberal wings to
extrude person whom they said did not belong TO
their party. The efforts Of the chairman and secre-
tares were necessary 10 suppress this explosion.
Mr.. Kennedy proceeded 10 comment upon the De-
claration OF Independence, and the specie crcnlar
which General Jackson carried oil IN his pocket
(Here there was a cry for the windows TO be opened
as the heat was excessive. A gentleman IN the crowd
moved the chairman To- order a shower bath IN for
the solace OF the meetine) The speaker wound up
with denuncation of Jackson Van suren Locofo-
coism.
The return of the 4th ward was here received, de-
claring majority of 1877 in favor OF Stark. This
n announcement was hailed with a hurricane OF ap.
plause, succeeded by a smult which seemed likely to
