meeting at Tammany Hall. wherein appears
mixed 10 most approved confusion huge
pa,cs, bu,t. enders, ring-taii roarers. hard fists
sh ,card roarsrs." together with every other
species Of roarer that could well be imagined.
The design is admirable, being true to the
life, and every way worthy Of the pencil Of
Hogarth. We regret that we have not
the drawing to present to our renders, in order
that the honest portion of the democratic
party might be able to form some idea of the
tag rag and bobtal politicians Of the city of
New York to whom the Destructiyes would
confide the interests Of this great nation. We
should like TO see some thousand copies Of
this print disseminated among the people, be-
lieving as we do, that it would have greater
tendency to make honest democrats ashamed
Of such political associates, than hundred
essays would do. If the picture is good, the
description Of the meeting is no less graphic,
and we transcribe It for the benefit Of poste-
rity. How much better would il be for the
honest hard-working man Of the democratic
party to come out from among creatures 50
lost to every sense Of propriety, and attach
themselves to the Conservative interest an in
terest which, while it would secure them re-
spect, would insure them an adequate reward
for their labor and industry.
If there be any one thing more than an
other calculated to sink us in the eyes of
Europe, it must be these exhibitions of the
movements Of the present ruling political
party Of this country. Designing demagogues
excite the prejudices of the illiterate and vul-
gar against the rich, and after classifying them
in societies Of huge-paws, hard fists, butt
enders, rng-tail roarers, induce them to
emulate each other in the destruction of all
that is valuable in morals, politics and society.
We call on the intelligent mechanic, the ho-
nest laborer, the farmer, and all the producing
classes Of the country, to separate themselves
from party which have no feeling in com
mon with their interests, and which, after its
mad schemes have worked the ruin Of all the
great leading pursuits Of the Republic, will
turn and laugh at the dupes it has made.
