The Meeting on the Battery this Evenins


The meeting which is announced 10 be held On
the Battery this evening, will be of the most cd
rlous interesting and original affairs OF this nature
thai has taken place in this city for several years
And the movement is one that may involve IN It's
train consequences of the utmost importance 10 ''e
two great political parties Of the day
The first meeting of this character II Will be re-
collected. was the curious and spontaneous move
meat IN The Park of last Monday evening. In tl.at
r1aefing n new state OF things was seen TO tax
NJ zee a new d-veopement of parties and the tram
lai for an entirely new series of movements in he
political history of the city. The meeting tonight
is Intended TO follow up and carry out the arrange
ments begun in the former meeting
The fact is that this new development is nothing
more or less than a contest between the young &C.
mocracy and the old democracy the young
heads, hearts, and limbs, and the old heads, hearts,
aad limbs; and of course the fight will b,
an exceedingly funny one. The old democra .
have now, and have had for long time possession
of all the stock IN trade of roguery, tricks, trim
ming, lying, cheating, and other manpuwes, con-
nected with the machinery of party whilst the
young democrats have all the w.t. and activity and
strength, and humor, and buoyancy, and real energy
of the party; to say nothing their hard fists clear
morally make man fight like Satan himself when
put to his trumPs,
This contest, therefore, will be intensely interest
ing to all the spectators concerned. 1t will be Il
struggle 10 show whether the youth and talent and
honesty of party can be put down by the old
rogues of party. And in the contest it is certain
that Noah, who will be there with his old clo
clique, to see how many old boots and breeches be
can get for his ragged regiment will be utterly
routed and not remnant left to be gathered again.
In another point of view this meeting will be
pecally interesting. 1t may lead ultimately TO the
settlement of the question who is TO be the next
candidate of the National Democratic Convention.
Van Buren, will of course have the support of all
the old rogues OF the party. Mr.. Calhoun will have
that of portion OF the. youth and chvalry OF the
party as he is very popular with them. Gen. Cas-
will soon be here to gather his troops together.
In the mean time, Mr.. Tyler may be looked upon
as live fish, who has for the present suspended the
the wing party, and who has more determination
than Gen. Jackson, who was considered thorn.
back Whilst Mr.. Van Buren, is regarded as dead
fish

Congres.-The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Cab,ne,

We find by our private advices from Washington
that Congress will now certainly adjourn as early
as Thursday next, and in all probability in great
row And what will be a source of great gratifica-
ton to every body the President will not call then,
together for an extra session upon any considera
ton. Nine months of miserable legislation has
completely sickened the country.
The changes In the cabinet that we have repeat
edy spoken of, will come, but not yet. There will
be no violent or sudden explosion in this depart
ment, but the change will be gradual. So let it be :;
though if the worst comes to the worst, small ex
plosion would not do much harm, and might help To
clear the political atmosphere.

DEAR SIR
address this TO you, for the very good reason that

how the health of the city, and how things in gene

there was one death last week by the Asatc Chole.
ra reported by the board of health and there has
been some five or six deaths by the Yellow Jack i,
most OF whom were captains and mates of vessels (;
but within the last few days the wind has shifted TO
the South, and we have been blessed with some
freshing showers so we do not apprehend an cpl
demic this year. doubt not but many who have
gone North have suffered much more with the het I
than have here-for all agree that this mas peen
the most delightful summer for number OF years
past.
We are without any place of resort tor amusc-
mens now, and as the people cannot DO without
enoving themselves in some way OF other, they
have turned their attention OF late very much to sa
cred music The Rev. Professor Clark has a very
promising class of about fifty 10 sixty young ladies'
and gentlemen, amateur vocalists, who meet three
times week at the Baptist Church in Julian street
On last Tuesday evening they gave concert which,
though private was attended by very fashionable
audience. The singing was delightful; and have
not spent a couple of hours more agreeable for a
long time. Among the most prominent female sing
ers noticed Miss 1t of M street, and Miss
1t, Of B. street, who sang The Daughter
of Zien," which was loudly encored another Miss
H, OF B. street, who was the belle OF the
evening and Miss Va, who sang "Just is the
Lord" in aimostimastery style. Miss B of
Be street, and Miss So, of P street, sang
"Come, We dsconsola,e," which was also well re-
ceived. Miss &c, of R street, who is a very
pretty girl of about sixteen she has good voice,
but it needs much practice; Miss F--a, and Miss
S-w, who sang second to every piece during the
evening. There were many more equally deserving
OF notice, of whom may speak in future episte
MIR. Clark deserves much praise for his perseverance
IN getting up this society, as it was commenced un.
der the most unfavourable auspices; but II Is now
almost equal to most of your sacred music societies.
Business is rather dull yet, though, 1t has some
