inc wings were the best friends Of the poor Instead
When Mr.. Girard ceased there were loud cnes fs
MT Redwood Fisher; but the chairman proceeded z
put the resolutions, which were carried by acciama
1 ton.
Mr.. Robert Taylor read a resolution about The
perish credit and perish commerce system OF Ge
neral Jackson and his successor, which ire enforced
IN speech of some length. Mr.. Van Buren, had only
dsgrnced the Presidential chair fer a year. and Gene
raj Jackson should never be forgiven Tor having
named him his successor. Their heIllsh schemes had
been conceived and carried into effect with consum-
mate skill and the ruined state OF the country at
tested their influence. The speaker proceeded IN a
happy strain of irony 10 designate General Jackson
| principal measures, particularly his nominations TO
Office. Secretary Dcksrson refuses to send oHt the
exploring expedition, although ordered 10 do 50 by
Congress-; Amos Kendall disputes The authority of
our courts of justce and Reuben Whitney will not
admit the right of Congress TO- question hm The ad-
minstration had squanoered the peoples money un-
der pretence of learning how TO keep it. Mr. Taylsr
concluded with recapiiuaton of his political princ
Piles. and his exertlons in the whig cause.
Mr.. David Graham, Junier, seconded the resclu-
tons and addressed the meeting with much effect and
great energy of manner on the importance Of the
coming contest, and the uselessness of what was
redeemed in April. He euloQlzed the stand of Mr.
Tallmadge in the United States Senate and con-
demned the conduct Of c. C. Cambreleng and Eli
Moore.
Mr.. Mortimer NJ. Jackson, moved resolution lau-
daory OF the efforts Of the Wing legislators further
the internal policy of Improvements shewn in Mr.
Ruggles' report to the House Of Assembly; and en-
forced it with some highly pertinent and interesting
remarks. He praised Mr. Ogden exertions in bring
ing about the success of the small bill law and Mr.
Halls auction law. Such men would restore New
York to IFS pamv days of old, and its new period Of
prosperity would date from the whig victory at the
next election. Among the principal supporters Of
liberal system of internal improvements was Mr..
Cjark ondid date for Nnvc VIC h.ub- al
and patriotic Seward in the West, must not be for
gotten. Mr. Jackson closed his speech by an impas-
stoned appeal to the wing young men ofNew York.
Here there was loud cry for Mr.. Redwood Fisher
and Mr. Maxwell but that for the former predoml-
mated; and he proceeded with his speech to the ma
nfest ANNOYANCE of the respectable officers Of the
meeting! We cannot pretend to give any idea Of it,
as was delivered in so high key, and with such
violence of gesture, and excited so much laughter
that all reporting of the question: as the con-
taglon Of hlarity was irresistible. As fdreeur and
bodybuilding at political meeting Mr.. Fisher is I'M
rvalled, for those who cannot laugh with him, are
compelled 10 laugh al him.
Mr. Hone then moved an adjournment and the
meeting broke up.
90 Mr.. WEssreR's Speech in the Senate is highly
spoken of. From what we have seen Of it, we are
disposed TO believe that il the greatest speech of the
present session. Mr.. Calhosns speech was splendid
on the hard money system-Mr. Silas Wrights was
piece Of mere special pleading in favor Of the GO
vernment finances, without reference to the CON-
merce or currency of the nation-Mr Clay's speech
after all, was only "ihng Of shreds and patches"
sort Of oafcrs yarn matters and things in gene
ral-but Mr.. Webstcr's, from what we have seen, is
the Speech which takes correct, business scientific,
philosophical view OF the power and duties Of the GO
vernment in reference commerce in general. In his
financial principles he steers clear OF the impractical
BILE hard money system Of Mr. Calheun-efthe selfish
spoils party independent system of Silas Wnght-or
Of the loafer redeemabie paper system of Mr. Clay.
Mr.. Webster's views OF finance and currency are
founded on the principles Of a mired currency, the
paper portion redeen.abie in specie on aemand-and
also on the joint and united action Of the government,
the banks, and all the interests of commerce that
plan. His views Of the important interests Of the diff
fereni sections, correspond with what we have al
ways ncucated in the Herald.
We have great mind 10 publish his speech soon
as il is out, in double sheet and review il, in
nection with those Of Clay, Wright and Calhoun. We
have half nnd TO 60 for Webster yet for the mex,
Presidency. Well see, however.

nix Bank did not return to Albany I'LL yesterday
They will present their report this week-and next
MONDAY will come on the debate in the Assembly
