OF the Patriot Party.
A most singular condition of things Is taking
place in New York. From the confusion that has
overtaken all old parties, new movement has
sprung up-and the first decided demonstration was
exhibited at Washington Hall on Friday evening
We understand they call themselves the " Pa
triots,' name given them by Gaping James Mon
roeand that they intend to support the present add
ministration against the factions in Congressional
they organizing all the city, not scmuch for
the charter as for the autumn election-and that
they intend to have great
PATRIOT MASS MEETING
To. morrow evening, al five O'Clock, in the Park
They have nominated, as we have already stated,
CArn,c JAMES MONROE as their candidate for Mayor
To this nomination Clpting Munrce has sgnihed
his acceptance, in his own peculiar modest way, as
follows

JAMES MONROE.
To ALKxASpER HAMILTON, ESQ.
From reading this unique and peculiar document,
simple persons nigh. suppose that Captain Monroe
had declined the nomination, through modesty "r
some other vItue-had in fact given veto No
such thing. Captain Monroe has read Shakespeare,
and accepts the nomination as King Richard did the
crown, thus =
Twill you enforce me to q world of cares 7
Well, call them again am not made OF stone,
But penetrable to your kind entreaties,
Albeit against my conscience and my soul
Cousin Of Buckingham you, sage grave men,
Since you will buckle fortune on my back,
To bear her burden, whe'r will, or no.
In this vein does Gaping Monroe mean to be un-
ders,ood, and with this understanding will the
glorious new PATRIOTIC PARTY meet tomorrow
evening in the Park, and support both Gaping Iy'
Ter and Gaping Monroe, per .fls aut nHtas, and
fighen the wings out of their breeches. The
Patriots" don't expect to elect the Gaping our
next mayor-they merely want to plant the seed In
the spring so that they reap the corn in the fall
give as many votes as they can, and begin on
clean, cash capital, however small.
1t will be seen, therefore, that we have now hve
parties in the field as folows:-
PArr,r. CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR.
Democratic Locofoco party, Robert H Morris,
Abolition, Thomas r. FleId,
Wing, j. r. thGnlx,
or Catholics, Charles OCOnner,
Patriots administration Gaping James Monroe
The organization and birth of the latter party a.
w Washington Hall, has given great and mortal Of
fence to the wings Now, the wings are generally
very hostile to John Tyler, and the Patriots fcrn
generally that portion of the old wings, who think
and believe that the President has not been treated
fairly, and ought TO have fair chance. At the re-
cent whig meetings at National Hall, President Ty
Ter has generally been bitterly denounced, or sneered
at as traitor and imbece. This has given great Of
fence to large portion Of moderate men, and hence
the parturition Of new party-a party OF men who
intend to support the government and country In
opposition to factions and cliques.
They take the name of" Patriots as given them
by Gaping Monroe, and very capital name 1t is
Great excitement Is expected during the ensuing
election No one predict the result OF the pre-
sent state of confusion.
