GRAND TEXAS MEETING I THE Cry OF
New YoRK.-The Louisville Journal of Sat-
urday last gives some account of an inn
mense meeting of the locolocos of N. York
who are in favor of immediate annexation
The Journal says:
Then. Y. Locofocos who are in favor
of the most immediate sort OF Texas Annex
alton, having grown impatient at the tardy
action of Congress on the subject, resolved
TO hold a grand annexation meeting TO IN
struct the Representatives of the people
According to appointment, the great Clon-
Tammany Hall on Friday evening of last
week.
1t was intended that il should be a mon
ster meeting, and it turned out TO be a meet
ing of monsters. We have in our time read
reports OF the proceedings of a good many
obstreperous assemblages, but that one was
to the most unrully meeting on record as
"Hyperion to a Satyr." Had a blind man
been present he would have fancied II a gen.
eral meeting of the manageries, and he would
have had an excellent reasons for such an
opinion. The meeting could not have been
more disorderly if it had been composed of
red-mouthed panlhers from Oregon, shaggy
named Brazilian lions; dyspeptic tigers from
Bengal, chattering balloons from Oronoko,
hungry leopards from Senegal, believing BIZ
sons from Siberia, black.livered catamounts
from the Rocky Mountains, snarling wolves
skulking jackals, ring-tailed monkeys, rhi-
noceroses, appropriateness, white and black
bears, elephants and dogs in the last stages
of hydrophobia. The lion paramount on the
occasion was that exemplary man, that mer-
~itorious embodiment of Democracy, Captain
Isaiah Rynders, the %vallient leader of the
Empire club. He ruled the roast he was
'cock of the walk he was the bright partic-
ular STAR the master spirit, heart, soul, fist,
and lungs of the occasion. He stood FORE
most on the stand, gave the orders, and was
the autocrat of the meeting He was the Ju-
piter Tomas to whom all the lesser deities
looked up; he commanded what should be
done, and hurled the red hot bolts of his
wrath Kissing at the heads of the refractory.
During the progress of the meeting the
brotherly feelings of The Locos were exhib-
lied in sundry broken heads, black eyeS,and
bloody noses. Tie most impious and BIAS
phemous expressions were heard from the
lips of Rynders and others, which we will
not stain our columns with.
The New York Locofocos are, beyond all
question among the lowest and foulist spe-
cimens of humanity. If they were not, they
would hardly consent 10 be ruled by such
blackguards, thieves and murderers, as Ryn.
ders and his companions in crime and Dem,
ocracy. We suppose Rynders is a good
enough fellow for the party in that city, a
! party which sanctions all kinds of frauds,
vices, crimes, and iniquties, but had that
champion of Democracy lived in any other
part oil the civilized world, he would have
been imprisoned, or hung and quariered long
ago.
A resolution was read at the meeting, in
which the name of SiIas Wright, the name
under which and by virtue of which the party
achieved its victory in the recent contest,
was mentioned fayorably. Immediately the
whole hall resounded with Kisses as if ten
thousand adders had suddenly appeared in
the crowd. The resolution was rejected
with an almost unanimous vote amid jeers
and the most violent expressions of scorn and
hate. The reason why Wright's name was
thus treated is that he has the wisdom and
patriotism TO denounce the whole vile Tex
as plot. For this reason, he, TO whom Loco.
focoism is indebted for its recent victory, is
denounced, abused, and Kissed at! The vile
wretches that lead Locolocoism in New York
have no gratitude for services rendered their
cause. They are of the same reptile race
which in Athens banished Aristides and COM
mended the cup ofhemlock TO the lipso f So
crates. We do not regret that Sllas Wright
was thus treated by the ingrates. A man
who will condescend TO adapt his course TO
suit the scum and ~offscouring of creation
must expect the wretches will turn on him
whenever an occasion arises in which he DIFF
fers from them, and the base feelings Of their
slack hearts are appealed TO. Jackson was
lauded with the most sickening eulogy. He
is Just the hero for such crowds, and no
praise can be too high and thick for his mer-
its, in their estimation. The Duck river man
was not mentioned. The party pretty gen.
orally regard him as a sort OF nobody, a mere
instrument which they are TO use to subserve
their own wishes; and in no other part of
Locofocodom is this feeling more heartily
cherished for him than in the city of New
York. Wright was duly Kissed, Jackson was
duly Landed, but poor Polk was altogether
too minute an object 10 be referred TO in a
New York Locofoco meeting! Once Mr.
Van Buren's name was mentioned by one of
the speakers, and the approaching crowd
laughed at it as if its proprietor were the
most entirely ludicrous object in the world,
SPAS" son, Mr.. Ahasuerus Tyler. made a
speech, in which Spa was referred 10 as one
of tho most iilusfrious LADDERS in ~ ranLs
