First Van Buren, Move-Great Assemblage
OF Office Holders and Office Seekers-C"b-
bages on the rise.
The Calhoun portion OF the Democratic parties
Of this city have had their gatherings and Junket-
iDgs, and have blown of their gas and indignation,
at several etngs in the Park, and we nave To-
day, by way of variety TO the campaign, the assem-
bling of the friends of Mr. Van Buren,, who meet IN
the Park at o'clock The "call,' as 1t is called,
and as il is published in one of the party organs
presents amusing features TO us, who stand as
truthful refecors of all that appears on these exc-
ing occasions. The palmy days of "od mother
bank" appear to have been brought in the minds
eye of the "getters up'' of this exhibition of feeling
for Van Buren,, the haste in the interests of those
concerned, IN procuring signatures, must have
prompted daguereotype impressions from many
tombstone, and double signatures from many
friend TO the cause" oBut in political warfare, this
is all TO be excuseda is fair in politics" and there
lore to humbug and be humbugged is the order of
ct John Tyler, Richard M. Johnson, and five of the
Drake family, all in a row, the latter perhaps being
the old Drake and his Ducklings. Then comes
Mordecai Manassah Noah, whose autograph is
twice recorded, and five of the Childs family, from
the senior down to the junior, followed by candi-
dates for State SENATOR sheriff, coroner, county
clerk, assembly, aldermen, &c, and then, such
string OF watchmen, street sweepers, police officers
lamp lighters, bell ringers, coal weighers, ballast
masters, wood inspectors, charcoal measures,
street carriers, health wardeEs, and other attaches
hangers on, eXpectants and drummers up of the
city corporation, was never seen III such gather
lng-the names OF men who have never signed, and
the names OF those who were never seen, are spat-
tered through the call, and thus is the list swollen
10 the tune of thousands.
Notwithstanding all this, if the day is fine, there
VIII be large meeting-an uncommon gathering,
and much enthusiasm. Mr.. Van Buren, is, without
doubt, the first iavorte OF large majority of his
party IN his native State, and were it not so, it
would be strange political anomaly, and State
pride would certainly be at zero.
We see, however, in this movement, something
that indicates future trouble to the democratic party
oithis city, and Notwithstanding heVanBuren lead
crs have thus boldly buffed the present game, yet
IN the first all-four set to come off, they may get
most terribly mistaken. Our readers are mostly
aware that THE ensuing November election, there
are State Senator, Sheriff, County Clerk, Coro.
ner and thirteen Members of Assembly 10 be cho-
sen, and they may also be aware that on Thursday
OF this week, the democratic party of this city meet
IN their several wards to elect delegates Tammany
Hall, who are to nominate candidates for the above
named Offices. This call for a Van Buren, meeting
appears TO have been made few days in advance
OF these primary assemblages, in order to bring all
candidates for Office this fall unite in his support
or rustic the consequences of such opposition This
10 bold move on the part of the friends of Mr. Van
Buren, and if successful, will be great point in the
Presidential game; but if such a position should
prompt those of the party who have other pre-
ferences for the presidential chair, to bolt
the course, and nominate another county ticket,
the result might be total defeat of the whole. and
tae whig candidates become successful, which
would make strong point on the other side of the
game This is very probable result as the radi-
catpouon of the democracy of this city, and three
Iourtha OF the Irish population, prefer either Cal
noun or Cass for the Presidency; and if these men
are TO be told and shown by the nominations that
emanate from Tammany Hall this fall, that none
but friends OF Van Buren, are to be entitled TO ele
vaton TO office, they will very naturally turn round
TO find some revenge for such defeat The old
band of party organization, that formerly induced
men to blindy 60 the whole ticket, has become
much relaxed of late, and nought but nominal
ton OF men of good character, ability, and well
known business and honesty, will now obtain a
complete party vote from either side in politics.
The Ward meetings will be largely attend
ed, and great excitement and much rowdysm
VIII be the natural result. One thing should be done
however, and as the Van Buren, press of this city,
during the recent Syracuse Convention, loudly adj
vocated the principle, they certainly should do so
now. We mean that the delegates at Tammany
Hall should vote uird uoce in the selection OF candi-
dates tor the several offices. The wing party of
this city adopts this method land certainly the demo-
cratic, claiming TO be exclusive, should follow
such truly democratic mode of nomination
The meeting to-day will be of little interest COM
pared to the assemblages in the several wards on
Thursday, but whateveris of public importance will
