Hall.

WING and Conservative Ncesing M Nasionnl
Hall.
Last night about half past o'clock, the was
about half filled with very respectable number of
middle aged gentlemen, who seemed to be somewhat
camorous for the business to commence. The usual
formalites were then gone through, Of appointing
David b. Ogden, Chairman, and sixteen Vice Pres
dents, with seven Secretaries to assist him in the
performance Of his arduous duties.
Mr. Ogden said he DESTROYS of saying few
words to the meeting just to point out to their
attention the present awful state Of public affairs,
viii h was all to be attributed to the dep,orabie
success of the experiments Of the government on
the currency. The commerce was Frustrated and
In consequence Of the high rate OF exchanges every
mercanticle man was ground to the dust. he, Mr.
y. was not surprised at this state OF things, be-
cause he had reelected it, and every man Of sense
in Congress predic ted it, yet they could
have anticipated that such crisis as this would
ever have arisen the moned interests Of this
proud city were now reduced to.
Let any gentleman go back and look at the de-
bates in Congress at the tine the experiment was
made they will then see this very prophecy in such
wordsaas1mnst now be termed matters Of history
General Jackson told us that he would give the
country better currency and he wouldnow tell him
that his better currency will end In our having no
currency at all. Now. he, Mr. 0. thought that un-
less the State of New York would ceme out for the
wings, the commerce of the country was annihila
ted and gone for ever loud cheers There
was another subject to which he wanted TO
allude aud that was the late elections in the south
and west There the government had bought cor
rupt maJorites with the public lands-those very
lands which had been purchased by the blood Of the
Yankees and left legacy to the people Of the
State of New York. He did not any cause for
despair, it was only demand for exertons
such as the wings Of the revolution made to drive
out the common enemy.
After few more observations, Mr.. O. sat down,
amidst tremendous shouting, waving of hats, and all
that sort of thing.
Shepard Knapp then rose to report the results Of
the labors Of the Nominating Committee. He hoped
the ticket would meet the response of every wing
in the city.
John II. Gourly said he would read the report of
the Nominating Committee.
The several names Of the candidates were received
with loud cheers, particularly that Of James Gu
lick.
Prescott Hall moved the adoption of the report,
aud that the candidate be accepted by the meeting
The learned gentleman in a speech OF nsiderable
power, went through the list seratim, id seemed
to think the best men upon the ticket were those
that had seeded from Tammany Hall. Mr.. Hall
said he believed that all the respectable men of
the other party had come over to the wings and
ready say to the rabble thus far shalt thou
come and no farther.
MIR. Dudley Seldom seconded Mr.. Halls motion.
Mr.. Seldom having sat down. several orators were
called upon, but as they did not answer the CALL the
Chairman again, and moved the following reso.
luton -

who be trusted without pledges We have confidence in
their characters and principles and them to act
cording to their judgments and consciences.
This motion was carried by acclamation and after
