New RevoIutio ion I'm New Yoris---The Re-
syistry Law and other Matters.
A notice was issued yesterday morning, by several
fthe dirty bankrupt Wall street prints-these legi
innate organs of the honest Wall street financiers-
calling upon the people ofNew York to meet tonight
at the National Hail, in Canal street. at half past
o'clock in order express their appreciation OF the
new Registry system-which is expected to have
been passed by the legislature, and may be law
of the land. On Tuesday evening last, after great
deal of preparation, and the expenditure of much
noise and small beer, the other party-that is the
locofocos-hed meeting at Tammany Hall, adopt
ed resolutions, and made speeches, OF very noisy
character, against the new system-appointing also
a Committee of Public Safety, in order to form
plan of oppos tion to be put in operation at the com
ing election.
There are features in these movements of
than ordinary character, which deserve a particular
notice at this awful crisis.
Not in twenty years have seen the democratic
party of this city furiouslyso savagely-so deep
ly agtated they at present against the regis
try system. Part OF this agitation springs from rxm
part from roguery. But however general and vague
their language may be in their public assemblies,
we have heard in their private circles, the most vio
lent threats Ia horn of brandyD freely expressed,
and resolutcly made, (another drink if you please
They denounce, in fmine, the new registry system,
as bold and unconstitutional act-subversve ofthe
rights of the people, and the power of the bottle
and exclusive and partial in its operation this
city. Coupled with the proposed changes in our
criminal courts, in our Aims House establishment,
and in other municipal rights and privileges, they
say that the legislature at Albany is insigated by
the Wall street cliques Of rotten banks and swim
ding ranciers to take away the liberties of the peo
pie of New York, and to place the local government
of this city in the hands Of Governor Seward and the
central junto at the capitawho drink champagne and
smoke Principles. The motive for this conduct is
attributed to the eternal Interchangeable, democratic,
popular tendency of New York, which can, by no
other method, be brought into subsection to the cor
rupt and wicked power Of the Wall street clique.,
and the Wall street dirty, bankrupt prints.
This is a general view of the stated by the
democrats. What is the remedy they proposel
The remedy thus far proposed, or indicated, is OF
dfie cult solution As far we can understand
the " ambiguous givings OUT OF the speakers, wri
tiers, and spouters, il the new registry system be
enforced the next election the democrats intend to
adopt some practical but peaceable system of null-
fcaton, the details ofwhch not yet dvulged by
Mr.. Ben f. Butler, although have the details of
his loan Of S3l 900 from the Manhattan Bank, on the
security Of lots Chicago worth fully many brass
buttons with the necks But as we know almost
every thing past, present and to come, we have d.
vned that their plan Of operations will consist OF
resolute determination not to vote the new system
not even TO take drink on the new system-but
to carry on the ensuing election the old plan. per

II this be So with the assistance either Of strong
drink or the devil, the democrats will elect Mayor
and Common Council, on the old system, without
opposition, while the wings will elect May
or and Common Council, also without opposition,
on the new cold water system We shall then have
two Mayors two Corporations, two sets OF officers,
two city printers and double the amount OF printing
patronage, brandy, beer, sPoils, rogues, rssealty
and taxes. Then the two bodies will have to 80
before the Supreme Court, and contest the legali

municipal government at ALL unless Mr.. Varian and
the present authorities hold over, till the question
be decided 1t is true his Imperial Majesty, Gilbert
Davis, wine merchant and Emperor of Concy Island,
and all its dependencies, has been sppcaledto on be-
half OF the democrats for asylum in his august do
minions: but he has authorised US to say that his
psio as big and as broad General Jackson's, has
been placed upon any such project, for the simple
reasoa that the democrats too turbulent, too
head-strong too noisy, and too fond of whskey, and
not sufficiently enamored with wine, for his empire.
Thus stands this important and awful controversy
at present Tonight the wings meet in National
Hall TO give in their adhesion TO the new registry
system, which we learn will be passed into law
this week and will into operation next month.
80 far as the division Of the wards into districts OF
500 votes each and the three days to be reduced to
one may be concerned, though the registry may be
postponed till November next, for want Of time.
The next election, therefore, begins 20 assume
new and amusing feature. The great noise against
the registry law, made by the democrats, undoubt-
edy grows ont Of the alarm they begin 10 feel at the
progress Of Mrs. Harrison, as they call the patriot
of the Log Cabin at North Bend. They want to
change the issue before the country. They
want TO drown the cry Of /" Harrison and Log
Cabins" They want to take off the public attention
from their own rogueries and place II somewhere
else They want to stop the songs-the hurras--the
bubbub which the name Of Harrison is creating
throughout the country. II they can succeed they
NAV retain power short time longer--if they
don't they must give up power-give up loans on
Chicago lots-give up roguery-give up drink
and give up the devil.
This is the real question at issue-and on thi
point the movements OF both parties for the neS
week will be interesting and instructive. Wstcl
