Democratic Young Mems Meeting last night
at Tammany Hall.
The Democratic Young Men, the pipida jxpentts
Of Tammany, had meeting yesterday evening bu,
somehow or other, things did net seem to go right :
The officials were in bad humour; and Mister John
Becker, the lamplghter of the hall, quite uncour-
tecus IN his demeanour. If opinion of the feelings
Of the general committee is TO be deduced from the
manners of their underling, Why the sooner such a
temper got rid of the better We asked for the faci
htes Of an nkstand, as reporter for the press Mis-
ter John Becker turned round gazed at us and with
due emphasis and deliberaiion informed US that we
might go 10 hell as he had something else to attend
to- But this en- passaat; we have TO submit to i'm
pertnence calling and il is one of the penalties
incident 10 condition
On this occasion the meeting numerous, and
more respectable than the last Previous to the open
iRg OF the doors the devils tattoo was played with
much energy and in grand chorus the staircase by
an impatient assemblage Of the democratic young
men, who had no idea OF being excluded from their
head quarters, at the annual saturnalid. When the
Eruption was made, mpetuous was the onslaught
and the platform was speedily occupied by young mon
of an exceedingly juvenile appearance.
The meeting was called to order by Mr.. Cook, who
proposed John McKeon, Esq, as Chairman. Colo
mel Thorne nominated sundry gentlemen Vice Pre-
sidents among whom were James Conner Doctor
Vache and others. Mr.. Fcnelon Hasbrouck named
the Secretaries which were agreed TO, with one dis
sentent voice.
THE meeting would have been more numerous but
for the fact that on this evening there were meetings
in each OF the Wards.
Mr. Fernando Wood read the call of the meeting,
which was received with loud shouts
Mr. Thomas nj. Carr proposed the resolutions, ap-
proving of the nomination of Mr. varian, as Mayor,
and lauding his public and private character point.
ing cut the difference between his political course and
that of the present Mayer, which was stated to be
tyrannical and oppressive, that Mr. Clark wished to
establish a mounted gendarmeue and denied to the
Vice President of the United States courtesies and
civiltes which no had since extended to a British
Lord who had claims TO attention or respect
that the nomination of Richard Riker amused more
than il alarmed the democracy, and was intended to
mics conld not conquerit The rest of the resolutions
comprised praises Of General Jackson and Martin
Van Buren,, Silas Wright, Junior, C. G. Cambreeng
and Eli Moore and appreciation of the Sub Treasu
ry Law, and other measures Of the government. The
advocacy of the democratic minority of the Board of
Aldermen OF the right of the Femen to elect their Of
6cers received with three cheers, az was also
denunciaton of the course of the wing press in
tanning the conduct Of those persons who were in |
srumental in causing the death of Mr.. CIley. Mr..
Carr supported the resolutions he had read by SEINE
yieorous obserya,ions which received with loud
cheers in which he drew distinction between the
Of pecunary clique and those Of the great
bodv of the democracy. He asserted that the Loce-
focos were not destructives; that the majority OF
the Assembly the true destructves and that the
object of the Tammany party was not to destroy but
10 sustain. He alluded to the contrast between the
professions of the present corporation to economic,
and their lavish expenditure of the public money TO
the amount of more than million and q half OF
dollars beyond that Of last year. Mr. Carr said that
Mr. Clark was a villain-it was harsh term he
knew, but he could only Judge him by his conduct
and that conduct towards the emlgrants was most
yllainous Mr. Carr quoted Mr. Clark's allnsion TO
" There came 10 the beach poor eexile OF Erin
He did not know worse agltator than :he present
Nayor The eagra nts came 10 this country over barren
mountains hogs, and uiOrrises I've presume morasses
were msanD and nov, through Mr. Clark's proceed
ngs their bones were bleaching on the beach of Am
boy The Courier q. Enquirer came in for a share
of Mr. Cars indignant eoquence; James Watson
Webb was a poor dirty, bullying segment OF huna-
nlty, in whose mind and person every VICE was CON-
prsed The Speaker adured the meeting TO do is duty
at the ballot box, and save Itself and PosterIy from
the most degrading bondage. Most tumultuous APP
plsuse, wound up by three cheers N#.a.@
Mr. James Conner moved that the resolutions as
read be adopted. [Carred unanimously
There were loud cheers for Nr. Fox, bat as that
gentleman was not forthcoming the chairman was
called upon, that gentleman answered the call,
and mounted the table. He commenced by stating
that in responding to their invitation, he was aware
that he broke through the rsles laid down for chair
mea Of meetings; but il was his inclination as we'll
as duty, 10 obey them. The democratic young men
OF New York chung to his heart with hooks Of Steel
and ne intended TO sink or swim with them. He
spoke of the enthusiasm OF the young men; and, al
though they had been bafled, TO be defeated was
not TO be conquered. Slll, on all sides arose the
shout
Once The breach, dear friends once
The democratic flag had not been torn asunder; il
still waved over their heads, the and inspiring
influences of victory. The exhalations of whg con-
ce,t arose franz fe,id political atmosphere, not TO
dsunt democratic hearts, but only 10 the timd.
The present meeting was q Macedonian phalanx
with one arm and heart, organised TO carry oat the
great maxim Of the Declaration Of Independence the
freedom and equality Of man. Mr.. McKcon then
spoke Of Mr.. varan three cheersl the best most no
norable high minded man; three cheersl an demo-
erst none can surpass him; as man. he is uheqasi-
led. Eathusias,ic cheering.1 He would not de-
