The meeting of the friends of Mr.. Van Buren,,
asst evening, was indeed very small affair." and
will certainly be productive of no great benefit 10
The Little Magician" VIM Dohnert presided,
together with large number OF Vice Presidents and
Secretaries After the usual prellmnares, com
mttee appointed TO draft resolutions already
"cut and dried" But few words in relation to
the material of which this 'large and enthusiastic
meeting of the democracy was composed, and the
sentiments of its speakers. Bill Blackburne, noto
rious brawler, and prominent one, TO say the
least OF him, made very silly OF himself, and
murdered more Of The Kings English than he did
justice to the cause Of Mr. Van Buren,. Bill most
solemnly averred that history could afford no oAe
instance where democrat had ever proved recreant
to his trust by suffering himself TO be bribed and
that our chartered institutions were solely the work
OF political demdgogues-not democracy. This was
the substance OF his speech
Next came "A Mr.. Jacques, and a pretty affair he
made OF it. He commenced by declaring that he
was, ever had been, and always should be, Van
Buren, man. Then followed TRADE of abuse upon
the opponents OF his iavorlte; but more particularly
was his burning eloquence' levelled at "lhe puny
wbpster OF the Times" pronouncing Mr., Du Sole
odiOus arlstocrat, with English feelings and Eng
sh principles, ready at all times TO kneel TO the ca
price OF Vlc'orla's pettlct at. The editor OF the
Times was most numerically dealt with for daring
to expouse the cause of Neptunes favorlte and chr
various son, sold Ironsides,' and if little John be
not feel under any obligations to Mr. Jacques Gen.
Cass next came in for share OF this distinguish
ed' orators sarcasm. The ex'Innster was most
emphatcally pronounced "a scum"-"a skunk
with sundry other hard names, an enemy TO his
country, and unworthy the least confidence of the
honost democracy.
Al this stage of Mr.. jacques vituperaon, gen.
tleman present rose and said =" He vas an admi-
rer of Gen Cass, believed him good conserva.
tve-and it selected as the democratic candidate by
the National Convention, would make an excellent
President. He did not like to hear General Cass
abused in violent mannerp'
Mr. J. then abused all who dared to espouse diff
ferent opinions, and said that Tom Benton the
greatest Living genius in the world! With few
other remarks our orator sat down, no doubt in his
own estimation as great a man as either of his par
ticular frie ads-Martin Van Buren, or Tom Benton
Repeated cries made for "Psge, Page )"
but afterwards learned the Colonel was enjoying
himself very comtortaby in Witnessing the excellent
"Kerrison" was then called upon, who, very re-
luctanty rose, and spoke about five minutes, He
was followed by Nathan Nathans, James NJ Davis,
&c. &c.
But enough-the meeting throughout was cha
racterised by series of the most and unjus-
tifable abuse OF number of the best and ablest
statesmen the county boasts of. 1t was composed,
too of The most turbulent spirits the party possesses
and take it all in all, was decidedly the greatest
failure have witnessed the part of the pro-
fessed' friends Of Mr. Van Buren, in this city. Rest
assured Philadelphia is not the spot where his ban
success-it will, on the contrary, droop, whilst
others will triumDhanty catch the political breeze,
and rush onward to victory.
The jury in the case of Ned Roberts came into
court at two o'clock, and asked to be discharged.
They could not agree, and were again sent out
The flremen, indicted for riot, &c. were ac-
quilted.
AT the Walnut, during the past two weeks, the en-.
tertalnments have been of the most unprecedented
character. The audience, too, with or two ex-
ceptions, has been of the most crowded and fash
ionabls nature. Indeed, the management of the
old american has been crowned with complete
success. And truly speaking it boasts of more
powerful array OF unquestlOned talent than any
otter establishment In this country. Mr. Marshal
and Miss G. Cus'lman have done wonders in their
brief career as caterers for the public, and surely
they have met with corresponding liberaty on the
part of the community Tonight Miss Susan Cush
