AT mass meeting in the Park, on Thursday
evening, the district delegates who had gone 10
the Syrecuse Convention as the represe ntatves Of
the Calhoun men in the city, appeared before the
people to give them an account of the manner in
which things had been managed by the Van Bu-
rem men at Syrecuse. Mr.. Taylor, the delegate
who offered tho protest in the Convention in be-
half of himself and colleagues, narrated the par.
tculars of the informal organization of that body.
He expressed his strong belief that the debating

colleagues had acted would be ultimately approx.

U. S. Flying -hrfiUery.-A company of U
S. flying artillery, under the command of Capt.
Duncan, on their passage from Newport, r. l.. to
New York, arrived in this city, on Thursday. In
the afternoon, Capt. Duncan favored our citizens
with touch of their quality, and were reviewed

cty.) near Barnesvie. Nothing could exceed
the precision of their drill and movements on the
| field; and their effective discipline must make
them "ugly customers" in an engagement. The
horses seemed to understand their business as well
as the mon, and snuilcd tho gunpowdcr with as
much nonchalence as the coolest veterans. The
ropidity with which the troops came into line. un.

stions, was quite surprising. The exhibition was
an unusual and gratifying 10 our citizens, and
the courtesy of the officers in obiiging them, re.
