PROGRESS OF THE CRY REFORM PAKrY.-The
Native Americans, or "Reiorm Party" are GER
tainly making rapid progress, and seem to out-strp
both the old parties in their meetings-ther num-
bers-heir enthusiasm--and we trust they will also
in their success at the polls. Last night they had
no fewer than six meetings, in different parts OF
the city. First there was an immense meeting OF
the sailors, at the Shakespeare Hotel, numbering
probably fifteen hundred or two thousand. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed amongst these hon
est Jack tars, and number of excellent speeches
were made, and all adjourned with firm reliance
on attaining victory the week after next The Sc
cond meeting consisted OF that useful and ndepen-
dent class, the butchers. They assembled to the
number of upwards of two thousand, at Temper
ance Hall, corner Of First Avenue and Houston
street. Here the same enthusiastic spirit in favor
of reform was evinced. The third meeting was OF
the carmen. About three thousand OF them met al
Military Hall, in the Bowery, and the enthusiasm
in favor of city reform was Understandable. The
fourth was a mass meeting, comprising the 18th
and 18th wards, which met at the terminus of Grand
street on the East River. The eloquence-the
cheers-the enthusiasm of this meeting-astonish
ed all the river craft, and made the sailors and
sloops almost stop on their way. The fifth meeting
was a mass meeting of the ninth ward, at the old
stand, corner of Hudson and Christopher streets
About three thousand were collected here, and the
greatest spirit and vigor was manifest in all the
proceedings. Then in the LIST Ward the sixth meet
ing was held, at the Henry Clay House, in Wash
ington street, and a very large and enthusiastic
meeting it was
The aggregate numbers at all these meetings was
about $4,000 men. This certainly presents for
midable force at the approaching election, and we
are more and more satisfied from the complexion
Of these meetings, the enthusiasm which was ex-
hibited, and the numbers in attendance, that this
party has the strongest hopes Of eflecting reform
in the city government. The next great meeting
of this reform party will be held at the Exchange
on Thursday, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon II
will be a mass meeting of all the wards, and will
undoubtedly be the greatest meeting congre-
gated in Wall street or New York-it will be Sc
cond edition of the great mass meeting at Wash
ington Hall, which had to adjourn to the Park in
order to find room.
