New York. His suggestion was oil course com

commenced hammering on Inc Oregon question,
and hammered, hammered, hammered, until his
hour was up. Messrs. Pollock Of Penn, and
Goodyear ofN Y, each also spoke upon the cues

this morning the following announcement, which,
though shot, Is none the less expressive.

These resolutions, even without The name OF
the notorious Cassius NJ Clay in connection,
are sufficient TO designate the character Of The
"sreat meeting" which The lntelligencer thus
introduces with as much apparent sympathy
in its object, as though il was but an ordi-
nary Cooa-gatheripg. The New York papers,
