creased exertons in the good cause.-the swelling note
ofvctory which proclaimed the triumph of our regene-
rated city in November is still sounding in our ears
and we doubt not the cheering echo of louder strain
in April, will convey to our Wing brethren in every
town and hamlet in the State, the assurance that we
like them, arc still found faithful
A. Resolved That this meeting highly approves the
conduct of the Wing members of the Senate and
House of Assembly of this State, during the present
session. who have steadily pursued the interest of the
State, and obeyed the express will of the people, not
wthstanding the insduous attempts of The majority
IN one House. and the little unit of opposition in the
other TO defeat their patriotic measures, and embar-
rass their proceedings.
5. Resolved, That the Wings of this city have es-
pecial cause TO be proud of the contribution which
they have made to the mass OF intelligence, patriotism
and civic virtue in both houses of the Legislature.
g. Resolved, That the measure which the Nationa!
Administration is about to force upon the people of this
country against their consent but which they dare not
until after Charter Elections and the
adoption OF which will to be inscribed upon the
page of nations history in letters blacker than those
used in the famous expunsing operation-THE REPUB-
Lie AT AN KND-is raught with greater evils to our
devoted city, than any other portion of country What
may be the immediate effects of the passage Of
the Sab Treasury Bill whether the volcano shall burst
with instant ruin their heads or in scorching
streams gliding more slowly and nsdously, shall de-
stroy in detail the hopes of the husbandman and lay
the pleasant places ofthe land whether the plague
shall walk openly by MONDAY, appro zach us in the
silent and unguarded watches of the night its effects
equally certain. The enterprising merchant the
skilfu mechanic, the industrious iradesman whose
available capital has hitherto consisted in his pro-
bity, his perseverance ard his ability Supported by well
earned credit whchthose attributes heretofore
to command, must fall under its baneful influence The
small freeholder whose honest earnings aided by loans
prudenty contracted have been invested in real estate
will lind from the dminution OF the value of his pro-
perty the failure of profitable employment and the less
Of mutual confidence his inability meet the payment
of interest and mast finally consent sccrifce that
which was his main dependance-even the long estab-
shed capitalist, who relying upon the accumulated
sources OF many prosperous years has heretofore
had occasion to that credit which forms the
cement OF commercial community, will be unable from
similar contribute of his abundance to the sup
port of honest industry and the encouragement of the
mechanical arts, and noble city curtailed Of its
fair proportions" checked in It's laudabe enterprise
Its interests betrayed and its hopes blasted-w serve
ngratitude Of NEW YoRKs FAvoURITE SON."
j. w. GERARD, Esq. being loudly called for rose and
seconded the resolutions read by Mr. HONE. He
said that it was many since he had taken part
any political meeting The question now, was not
where he was from, bat what he and for what OBJ.
ject he to address the asscmblage. They were
all assembled to prepare fer battle battle the
suit of which the welfare of every man present de-
pended. and which might ultimately decide the fate of
the country This battle could be if they would
will it, Tor they had the victory of last year encourage
them and it was not necessary TO call again to their
minds the Ides of November.
Mr.. q. then went into history of the calanities
which had beallen US commencing with the cholera of

TO their former greatness and prosperity.
He said that Andrew Jackson ard Martin Van Buren,
had been mainly instrumental in reducing the country

Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, They were
one in feeling, o,e in thought and in action and
the grand aim Of both had been themselves

its rights. He passed a wellmeriied euogium upon
Messrs Ogden, Rugeles, Scoes, and Hall, and their
faithful services, and concluded by an eloquent and
glowing appeal the Wing Yoang Men Of this city; and
from the manner in which his remarks were received,
