A very numerous aud crowded meeting was held

meeting are generally hostile to the Kinderhook

Cass, enyeloped in tle mantle Of John Tyler Sc.
This view will be verified more and more every
day Wait and see.
In other aspects this movement has singular
character. It's the first really popular adminisira-
ton meeting held in New York, which has not
ended in rot, caused by the ultra Clay men on
one side, or the ultra Van Buren, men on the other
Neither of these ciques dared attempt TO mar this
meeting, because the hard fists who took part in it,
would have thrashed them and taken off their
breeches to make up bundle for Noahs old clo
party in the Bowery.
In another point of view this meeting is important
1t IS utterly hostile to the ludicrous attempt of Noah
that old blockhead, to get up little clique of office
beggars and 'old Clo' " men in the Bowery, with
himself as chairman, merely to get office, or a
pair of old breeches from Captain Tyler The
prestige OF this droll meeting is also hostile to the
present lncumbents of the Custom House, Post Of
fee, and Surveyors otfice-and although they did
not pass resolutions for reorganization of the Cabi
net, they only prevented by a consciousness
that such an event is certain.
In fact, the whole States Right force of John c. |
Calhoun all over the south and west including that
ofLewis Cass in the democratic party will now or
ganize at Washington and elsewhere, to support the
administration of John Tyler, and in 1914 we should
not be surprised if Martin Van Buren, were thrown
overheard at the National Convention, and John c.
Calhoun nominated, thus presenting an issue made |
up between Clay and Calhoun at last. Drol-droH |
-droll.
Such are the views that may be Justly taken of |
this meeting and its purposes. In point of talent,
enthusiasm, energy, high spirit, and philosophy, |
they comprise the flower OF the democracy of Tam
many Hall. They intend also TO hold another
mighty meeting next Monday on the Battery-and
in the interval all the original elements of de.
mocracy will be blowing like hurricane from all |
points of the country into New York. the grand
centre OF thought and action, and freedom and fun
and folly in this republic Here is the time piece that
every must set hiswatch by.
