Great Meeting of the "Young Guard of the
Democracy q" on Friday night, mt Tam
many Hall
One Of the most spirited meetings which we have
OF late attended, came of on Friday night at the
old wgwam Of the democracy, TalnmaDy Hail.
AT an early hour the young masses began to assem-
BILE and soon filled this large and capacous hall The
meeting was called to order by selecting James I.
Brady, Esq, as President, and Messrs Edwin San
iord. Floyd Jones, and others, as Vice Presidents
Lew u. Samnl, with score OF others, OF equal zeal
and devotion, were appointed as secretaries. The
published Call tor the meeting WAS then read. l. b.
Sheppard, Esq, chairman of the committee, pre-.
senIed series OF well wrltten Spirited resolutions,
deeply lmbued with patriotic feelings and senti-
ments, replee with noble and just views, and be-
slowing high encomums upon our deservedly popu-
lar and distinguished chief MISUNDERSTANDING
the principle that leaders marshal the masses or
that the masses follow leaders-a public treasury
was demanded by the people. A constitutional trea-
sury for the government-and an independent trea-
sury for our own States security. Texas was ac-
knowedged sister star in our brilliant galaxy
Oregon was yet twnking in the distance, and Cal
houn and Buchanan, tor their recent and mastery
correspondence, highly euloglsed. To compromise.
negotiate, or recede, would be almost CRIMINAL and
detract from our national honor, our national dlgn-
ty. The tariff of AZ declared an odious and an
oppressive lava violation OF our public and our
private righs-a monopoly, for the prote cton OF the
lordly capitalists Of the East to the otherwise grow
ing interests of the West. Gen Cass was highly
complimented for his resolutions OF inquiry into the
condition OF our navy and army-(upon which
cheers and other lively tokens OF admiration were
glven)-the question OF negro suffrage was unequl
vocally denounced, and instead OF increasing their
political privileges, they should rather be restricted
aud not allowed to vote at ala preference was ex
pressed III favor Of taking the power of appointment
cling in the hands of the Mayor, the republican
executive. The city debt contracted by the late

sure and dlsapprobation.
