A VOICE FROM THE EMPIRE CITY !
1t is with no common feelings OF pleasure
that we give place to the resolutions ana address
OF a meeting Of the friends OF the Adminis'ra-
lion in the city of New York.
We have, for some time, been aware that IN
hat city right feeling prevailed among the
treat body Of the citizens Not of the clques
into which the active politicians are divided, but
among the real workles-among those who
watch with keen eye and knowing spirit,
whatthe public servants are doing-me whose
opnions move masses because they 1--we ameng
,be people, are well known TO them, and al
WAYS sympathise with them. These are the
men who have always silently directed public
sentiment They attract very little notice on
common occasions, but are always on hand
when any thing occurs TO arouse their pride OF
character,
We are, we say, glad TO see this movement,
which appears TO have been madewlth prudence
and discretion as though il came from cass
Of m n who know what they about and do
not move for nothing; and we snail he mu b
surprised if this meeting is not well responded
10, and followed up with firm, strong and
steady determination that will be nothing
daunted by the noise and clalnor with which
particular partisans may be brought before the
people
We have seen, by the papers, that the friends
of Mr. Clay have called ameeung tor Wednes-
day evenngto nominate him TO the Presidency.
Mr.. Clay has been several times before nomi-
aated-the question is, will he be ELECTED
From the .New York Sun.

States has, with ability PATRIOTISM, and integrity full
niitd all his duties Chief Magistrate of the Union.
3D. Resolved, That the distribution of the avais of
the public lands among the State Governments at
time like the present. when the treasury IS entirely
empty, is improyldent and unwise.
lth. Resolved, That American citizens, proud
Of the institutions of country feel deep regret
in witnessing the dllaory conduct OF our Representa-

they deyoting their time to concerted opposition
TO the Chief Magistrate.

the duties of that high ot;e upon the Vice Presl-
dent, all eyes were turned upon him. and no one
doubted for moment The PATRIOTISM talents, or pure
intentions, of one who had filled, with SO much ere 1T
10 HIM eli, the several high offices to which he had
been previously called, more particularly Governor
of Virginia aud as Senat of the United States.-
The exposition OF his views in address TO the pub

was entertained that the best hopes of the people
