a more than commonly welcome, and gratifying
announcement Of news At s o'clock, the large
apartmen. in which the forces convened was COM
pletey filed. On no previous occasion have we
witnessed a more densely packed, and apparently
unanimous assemblage. After brief interval,
the name Of Peter Cooper, Esq. was announced as
chairman, and the proceedings were proceeded
with by the selection Of the other officers.
The Chairman had scarcely time to address the
meeting IN an audible manner, when, on the casual
mention OF the name of Silas Wright, Addison
Gardiner, Polk and Dallas, were severally greeted
with fervor ot feeling and voclferation OF APP
plause that literally made old Tammany ring. In
few brief words the President stated the object
Of the meeting, which was TO respond 10 the nonil
nation of their candidates for the Offices OF
Governor and Lieut. Governor OF the Stale OF
| New York.
| The Secretary, w. A. WALKER, Esq, after
partial cessation OF the exceedingly loud and long
torrent Of applause which again broke forth on the
mention Of The candidates names, lntermingled
with calls of "Whltlng," "Whlting," proceeded
| 10 read the resolutions, which were prepared lor
| the occasion, and which were strongly expressive
of appreciation Of the syracuse nominations:
| Al length, when the reading OF the resolutions
| had terminated,
| JAMES r. WHITING came forward in obedience
| to he will Of the assembly, and said -
