The Great Mass Meeting OF the Democratic
Republican Electors Of the CITY and Coun-
~ Of New York-that was to have been.
This great affair, which has been blazoned forth
throughout the length and breadth Of the county,
by the means of large placards the press,
ward meetings, &c &c, has ended in every way
worthy the nomination that has taken place at Bal
tmore. The only part of the ''order of arrange
ments" that took place was the hosting of the ma
tonal flag at the top of Tammany Hall, but as to
the mastering, they did not, as they were directed,
"Come as the winds come, when forests are rended,
Nor as the waves come, when navies stranded
Nor any thing else. A little before three o'clock.
the firing of piece Of artillery attracted for
ty or fifty boys, and about as many full grown
ders, to the Park, where might be seen an indl-
vdual close to the gun, in great state OF excite
ment, having in his hand dirty piece OF white rag
OF about IL inches square, attached to stick, on
which was painted the words, "Polk and Wright"
Several inquiries were made as to the meaning OF
this affair, and an lrishman observed that he was
sure they were only poltinE their fun at the peo-
pie by such a nomination., and that 1t was not
(w)right. Another observed that it might be all
(w)right just now, but that the democrats would
find it all wrong next November. After some 20
guns had been fired, instead of 100, had been
announced, the fellow with the grand flag noun
ted the gun, and called for three cheers for Polk
and Wright, which was respondedto by about 20
boys. The gun and flag were then marched off the
ground the former at the hinderpart of cart, and
the other in the hands of the standard bearer,
companied by four or five others and followed by
some twenty or thirty boys. They marched into
Tammany Hall, but did not remain there long,
when they adjourned to Tammany Hall, Junior,
where very spirited discussion was carried on
relative to the nomination, but there being some
ten or dozen speakers at a time, 1t was impossl.
BILE to report the speeches delivered at this lmpor
tant meeting, and so ended this grand democratic
demonstration.
