The Great Whig Mass Convention OF Young
Men-siaguiar rScenes-smgular Procession
First Organization OF the Webster party
for the Succession In 1S4s.
The general mass assemblage of the "Young
Whgs' from New York and the surrounding
States, took place yesterday in New York, under
one of the most smiling skies that blest the
lower world en- any side of the Atlantic. The
moonshine, during the night meetings, was also
superb.
Thus a remark able processon-a remarka
BILE meeting, with remarkable speeches, and the
whole had very remarkable bearing upon futurty
II may be said to be the first organization of that
portion OF the Wing party who, believing firmly
as they do the Bible, that Mt. Clay will be elected
President, are determined TO make Daniel Web
ster his successor-the other portion of the Wing
party, who are opposed to the succession of Mr.
Webster and in favor of General Scott, or some
other popular hero, holding their Convention on
the 30th inst.
Ia this point OF view, the assemblage and its
features very important, although as a
movement on the election next month, 1t
may be considered weak and poweress in
New York-because in the decision of this
question, the "Natives" will have more indirect
Influence than all the whIg mass meetings that can
now be held "from Dan to Beersheba" The pro-
cesson itself was very beautiful, but not imposing
probably at no time numbering over $500 pa
trios and Christians, with coach full OF ladies' in
the rear. The streets, and particularly Broadway,
were gay and beautiful with trumphal arches, flags,
pedestrians, carriages, and omnbuses. The meet
ing in the Park was large, but incoherent and
mixed. The principal orators were Casius M.
Clay, Esq, of Lexington, and ]. w. Fowler, Esq,
of Otsego-the latter being decidedly the best
speaker on the occasion-a good orator, brilliant
and versatile.
Neither Mr.. Webster nor Mr.. Choate, though
announced, appeared-a species of deception, too,
often practsed upon the people. We learn, how
ever, that Mr.. Webster was expected last evening
TO be present at the whg meeting in Brook
lyn to-day, when il is supposed that he will deli
yer his last and greatest speech the present
crisis, embracing his views on the native
ment and principles now in progress in the elm
perial City" of this great republic.
If so, we shall publish his speech with numerous
illustrations in second edition this afternoon a,
1, 2, or 8 O'Clock, az the case may be.
Tue imoression produced on our mind by the as
pect of this great meeting is, that the wings OF
New York have privately and secretly abandoned
all their local tickets here, except the electoral
except Mr.. Clay. In fact, the whole move
ment is evidently, not 50 much to preserve the
power of the whIg party, but TO elect Mr.. Clay at
all hazards and at any sacrifice, and to lay the
foundation Of party 10 the succession to Mr.
Webst1-and in this point of uiep it ,cas most
n \
tains, however, the seeds of a curious and terrible
contest within the whg ranks for the spoils hereaf.

that the anu-Webster grand whig convention, pro-

ITALIAN OPKRA-ANoTHgR FLARE-UP.-We un.
derstand that the Italian troupe have just had an
other fare up among themseves-and that their
negotiation TO perform at Nbos Theatre is broken
10 pieces like crockery and thrown to the winds.
The difficulty grew out OF the amount OF salary
claimed by each of the company. MademoiselIe
Borghese set down at $500 per month Val
tellina at $3.50; Perozzi at $lOO This did not
satisfy Valtellina, and II proposed 10 put Boz
shese at $500 -valteilina at $5OO-which caused

terday, with proposition to change the theatre
from Niblo's to Pamo-, but nothing decisive had
been agreed upon up 10 he latest dates.
In the meantime we learnt that Signora Pico, one
Of the most splendid rezzo sopranos, and a mag
nf ,ent woman in addition, intends to give con-
cert at the Apollo Rooms some day next week
She will be assisted by Sisnor Antognini, San
quirico and an effective orchestra. II will be a
delightful affair, and we have doubt will be
iashionably attended.
