THE VAN buren, MEETING.
When the Calhoun meeting held in the Park, the
other day, stated that had known smaller meetings
estimated 00O atwhich the editor Pebean turned
up his delicate and effected rdiculc the idea. But
the holy wrt every body knows vino
pays the least attention the pariizan of all pub
lie political meetings. That meeting, which had hon.
esy estimated from FIVE eight thousand, was in the
opinion OF every disinereed observer have had OPP
pOrtunity OF consulting, infinitely and
ted than the assembage collected IN obedience the great call
OF 5000 office holders IN the Park Monday afternoon
denomnaed by the Peboian, "The great Fan Buren, de-
rOHstrdOH" and whose numbers this veracious organ"
thus states: there could hare been less any
time during the organisation Of the meeting, than 10000
present and Of those tchO and the interim not
less than 10000 :"
The only find for this barefaced gross and
papabe misrepresentation the fact that the article cona
ming written and IN type before the hou the
ting arrived 1t was only the expectations OF the Van Blu
rem managers, which fell immeasuraby short OF realization
We estimated Yesterday the entire the time of
Tom Cars foolish TRADE against Mike Wash-and there
were then present than any other tme-at "from
three four thousand" including strangers Wings Cal.
houn and Tyler men, who composed full hall of the
meeting; but 'sober second thought" free con-
terence with correct Observers of all parties, that rah
estimated the number.
The Journal of Commerce, pretty good authority being
neutral, estimates the meeting at about 1000.
The Courier * Enquirer says,-'In point of numbers
the meeting respectable, but for enthusiasm all that
exhibited from first last might have been put in a
very small nut SHE'LL without the least apprehension OF
bursting"
The Express says it was considerable of body
composed Of many Calhoun friends Of Van Bu
rem"
The True Sun neuaD says it was 'Dery respectable in
numbers; but like the Express does hazard an opinion
in figures
The Morning Chronicle, also neutral apd independent,
says-Ihe attendance was not large, perhaps
fifteen hundred or two thousand and there but little
enthusiasm manifested 1t would be mpossb give anv
thing like report OF the proceedings; the thing seemed
imp OIL, 1t we may use the term" The Chronicle adds
that the speech VI Mr.. Barker, e chngy the assem-
bly,, whose cheers very few, and dsessngly faint"
The Her1d does not hazard its estimate Of the number
present, IN figures, but says:-At no time was larger
than the Calhoun assembage of week before last"
The Tribune does furnish estimate but alludng
10 the great CALI IN the Pebeian, says the meeting twas
attended, II we may Judge from Appearances by good
proportion OF those whose names signed the call
though there probably less persons the ground than
IN the paper" The Tribune very sensbly for the
lack Of as many persons present there signers
me call, on tue ground that those sgners whose names
like Judge NOahs, appeared three times could only
count ono at the meeungihat those who were in their
graves nthe unauc asylum, and the fictitious names
could not be brought up.
Beachs sun, which is but part and parcel Of the Pebean
concern-the publisher being hopes OF mending his fall
ing fortunes by attaching himself the skirts of the Sage
OF the bareaced and preposterous as
seon OF the Pebeian, and in the face and eyes of thou
sands VINO know and appreciate the ay the statement
unbushingly says:-'Ihe Of people oas I'M
me"se-lhe number has been estimated noeRfy thou
sand! There Moses you pass, and attend to your
shin-plasers.
In addition these different estimates of the from
"hch our Trends OF distance may form pretty correct
opinion OF the extent OF "tne Van Buren, demonstration
we have the opinions OF numerous dsneresed spectators
which stamp the statement Of the Van Buren, organ and

nance Mr.. Attorney General Barker the great speaker
OF me meeting IN conversation yesterday morning with
inc Hon Morris franklin as his honest opinion that
during no time while he speaking did the number pre-
sent exceed three thousand Mr. Barker certainly occupi
ed position TO enable him form correct an opinion a
any man present; and give these to prevent all
cayiI.
Judge Nelson Of the Supreme Court said Yesterday that
during the meeting he walked oil! round and through the
mass ior Inc purpose OF forming estimate and gave
ms opinion that there were not 900 present
We do not however consider II very material how ma
NY people there were present. all hands agree that # the
