| Could any thing more fully illustrate the danger and impolicy of building up great central monied power here, in the form of fiscal agent, in so close connection with, and indeed constituting part of the Executive Department of the Government, than the action of Congress at this session, raising and placing at the disposition of the President and in the vaults of this Bank such imlaense sums of money un- | der such Aimsy pretextsl At this rate bounds can be fixed to the patronag influence and power | ofthis Department.
 GREAT MEETING IN NEW YoRK.-On the 29th, one of the greatest muttudes assembled met in the Park for the purpose of passing censure on the public acts and contemplated movements of the pres ent whig party in Congress. The New Era, says;- "For the last fifteen years have witnessed all every great assemblage of the people of this city called to express their views matters pertaining government poy, but never before did, we cast our eyes upon vast, mighty, enthusiastic and stern congregation was convened m the Park on yesterday afternoon. The sight from the rostr,,m erected for the officers and speakers was magnifi- gently sublime. Immediately in front, the immense stone platform and stairs connected with the City Hall, appeared one solid, compact mass ot treemen erect with nerve and determination lo maintain. un- impaired, the institutions of the country; on ei- ther side the rostrum, alike solid and myiedng the honest and unpurchasable people eongregated in ther majesty and might. The number present was generally estimated al over FIFTEEN THOU. SAND, whilst the most cautious did not compute il at less than twelve thousand"
 Mir. yarian, late Mayor of the city, was appointed chairman, with some sixty Vice Presidents and nine Secretaries.
 The meeting was then successiyely addressed by the Hon. A. Vanderpoel, Major Davezac and several others, in most eloquent, manly and stirring speeches
 "This abortion, (sad Major Davezac) brought about by monstrous compromise, is like the monster described by the famous poet of Heaven and Hell it is begotten by the Devil, upon sin, and Death IS its name Loud cheering) But if it should grow, I, and live, and move, let the words ring out all over the land, of "Repeal! Repeal'' from the St. Law renee to the Mississippi, and the Rocky Mountains.
 Though in my infancy spoke the language of your own Lafayette, and though now speak the language of the land of my adoption-(fer am citizen bap- tized ''by blood and fire" al New Orleans )-l cannot
 find words to express my detestation of the infamous compromise they have gone into. But will tell q story knew an old Frenchman who had six daugh- ters; he used to say he allowed all to choose their own husbands but he would go to them and say "Mary, have chosen a husband for youi' s'Jane, I have picked out one for you!' "Maria, have one for you' If they said ''yes' to this, it all right If not, it all the same.-[ Laughter.l So with this bank but the father allowed his daughters to speak but the States not allowed that; their si- lence is to be the consent to many of this mon- ster. (Cheers.)
 "But your right of repeal can no more be taken from you than your right of voting Your tyrants are forging the chains for you at Washington; but the iron brittle; (cheers)-on blow of the great popular, mammoth hammer, and you will sh,yer to pieces that manacle they attempted to bind your en ergies with.-(Cheers.) You must agtate-agitate -agitate! "Repeal' must be the last word you pro- nounce at night and the first in the morning! And at your work it must sustain you-and when you lock round on your wives and children, you will have the proud consolation of knowing that as you are the husbands of pure and free women you will be the fathers ef none but free men.''
 series of most spirited resolutions protesting
 firmly against the whg legislation, was then unani- mously adopted. We have only room for three of them
 sResolyed, That the powers which will be vested in National Bank, if one is incorporated, are capable of extension until it may ultimately be- too powerful to be overthrow without violence, good policy dictates that we should be ready for a vigorous assault upon it, before it's fatal tlons are
 firmly fixed in the vals of the country and before it strengthens itself for resistance by sucking our hearts bood therefore, in advance of its birth, we do here by pledge ourselves to oppose in every legitimate manner, any bank that may he created, and, to sup port no man for any executive or legislative ofice who is not in favor of the immediate REPEAL. of
 its charter.
 "Resolved, That committee of twenty y-fye be ap- pointed by the president of this meeting, be known as the REPEAL CORRESPONDING CON- MITTEE of the city of New York ; that, in case National Bank is chartered by the present Congress such committee shall hold their office until it's char ter is repealed, and shall have power fill any va oancies in it's number and that it shall be the duty of such committee to arouse the democracy of the tire Union to the importance of the present crisis, and tO effect euclt a aS will the early triumph of the cause of Repeal.
 '.Resolyed, That the said committee forthwith open a correspondence with the Democratic Repub- licans of other cities, urging upon them the propreuy of converting to respond to the action of this meet ing"
 The cry of repeal is sweeping like tornado among the people of the country, and the watchword every where seems to be "repeal, repeal" Why should the people repeal this huge machine of corruption which they have not sanctioned! In the recent pres- dential canvass not voice raised in favor of bank. The Virginia whig convention last year op- posed it, and expressly declared that Harrison was opposed to it constitutional grounds. The pre- Secretary of the Navy, in his speeches in North Carolina indignantly pronounced the assertion that Gen, Harrison in favor of bank to be a false hood, The whig Pennsvvana legislature, at it's last session, instructed their members to vote for repeal of the subteasury, ,&c. but they dared not instruct them in favor of a national bank, and recently in southwestern district of that stae whig candidate elected by declaring himself in favor of the sub treasury and opposed to the national bank
 Do not these things, independently of the fact that the question was studously kept out of the last can vass, prove that the people have not sanctioned a hank and that it is fraud to impose them Under such circumstances, what other course have they except repeal?
