Meeting OF tho National I,sformers.

Last nights meeting was held at the corner OF
Chatham and Mulberry streets; about twenty per-
sons were present, and the proceedings were not
marked by anything savoring of energy, novelty,
or enthusiasm. Indeed, it was sometime after
they began that their purport could be gathered, as
system had little to do with the movement OF the
learned Council Mr. BEBEE was chairman, and
invited all 10 communicate freely their views.
Mr.. HArrcK made few observations about the
appointment Of delegation to attend the great
New England Convention which is to take place
shortly, upon which several suggestions were Of
fered by other members some thinking that one
delegate wouldsbe sufficient, and save expense;
others contending that three would be little enough
to represent them and bring up worthily the views
OF their constituents in all their integrity. COM
mttee was al last named and appointed to act IN
the matter.
A subsequent conversation arose as to who the
single delegate should be- Mr.. Devyr's name was
proposed, the frst as very suitable person 70 De
charged with a mission where thero would be
considerable to do, and no small amount OF talk,
ing to- perform besides. Several others agreed
with all that was said of Mr. Devyr's specified
qualifications nevertheless they regarded Mr..
Comerford as a still preferable delegate, on ac.
count of his acquaintance with the Yankees and
his general popularity, and because he was pecu-
arly calculated TO remove the strong prcudices
that prevail in that part OF the country against the
cause.

pense OF the delegation A sheet OF paper proper
ly ruled and headed, soon made It's appearance,
and host of prompt payers came iorward and
most generously gave their names tor sum which
we believe amounted to seven or eight dollars.
When this was finished, the Secretary respect
fully apprized all who heard him, that there was a
further trflng sum required for the rent, and light
ing Of the room. The announcement seemed es,
peclaly intended for few who had Just lifted
their hats TO decamp; but il did not produce the IN
tended effect on them, as they went on their course
rejoicing. Money was raised, ,however. and enough
for the purpose bate forty cents which deficit the
worthy secretary urged upon them to raise. The
