THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.

rup,ed by uproar and disorderly conduct he
fercely assailed The resolutions, because lhey
censured The course OF those good Wings ~
Adams, Hudson, Giddings, and The rest oil Inc
fourteen who voted against supplies! Mr.. Gree
ley capped The climax hen he denied that our ar
mics have behaved with humanity ana loioeal-
ance because, said he there are known lac's al
variance with these assertions-He therefore
moved TO lay the resolutions on The table, anu mere
is his account OF the result:
"The President put the question, and Inc ayes
and noes were about equal-that is 70 say, 'heIe
were more voiccs in the affirmative, oul as n'Ne"
noise made by The negative. The chairman, al.
Ter some hesitation, decided mat Inc mo'iou "
lay on The table was lost.
1.-THE question now recurring on The passage
OF the resolutions The voices were again apparent
IL about equal. hui MS before. The President
doub,insly pronounced the resolutions adopted
Their opponents demanded, challenged division
Of The house, (Which could have been done IN
minute with all easc,) but the supporters oil lhe
resolutions yoci(eraled that this was Impossible,
would lead 10 confusion, &C., &c. AS il was
deemed OF little consequence whether oczeh,
more or less, had voted one way or Inc DINER, the
matter was here dropped.
Were we 10 initiate The Wing press, we would
fl our columns with The "hisses, " "curses" cries
Of "older," "queslion," "bahs," and all SORTS OF
coniuunding explanations. Suffice it 10 say, The
scene must have been as violent and disolderly
as was ever Witnessed al Tammany Hall or any
other place The Herald thus winds mp lis
sketch:
The band plays "Hail Columbia" having been
directed 10 do so BY wink from one OF The COM
mtee The music quelled for time the DIS
lurbance, but, The moment il ceased, there were
cries as loud as ever for Greeley, Hone, Kelly,
&c.
Bradish, addressing Mr.. Hone-"Mr. Hone,
will you say few words?"
Mr.. Hone made a speech, and so did Others,
and the meeting finally adjourned. The feeling
OF the mass was clearly Corwin and Webster,
though Colonel Webb's resolutions, non-commi-
tai and moderate enough surely, were apparently
gulped down. Harmonious federalism!
Here is the !issracefulia ct that large meeting
of The Wing party should be about equally divided
upon The question OF sustaining the peoples re-
prcsentalves who have voted supplies in time OF
war, necessary 10 sustain The national honor, and
that The same diversity OF opinion should be ma
infested as 10 The humanity and forbearance OF
our gallant officers and men. Il is true that The
Wings adopted Col. Webbs resolutions, but the
whole proceeding shows ha, large portion OF
that party will obslnaely resist the furnishing
supplies TO conCuct The war with energy and sue
cess
In the course of The evening" the audience was
entertained by speech from Mr.. J. R. lngerso
II will be seen that be represents Gen. Taylor as
"Jeffersonian Whig"-a strange kind OF polisi-
clan, truly! We extract notice of Mr.. LIS re-
marks, which will show tina, Henry Clay is still
the favorie of tie New York Wings. They ad-
jouTned with three cheers Tor Henry Clay.
Mr.. spoke OF letter which he had received
from Gen. Taylor, in which the old Hero naa
avowed himself Whig-not an ultra Wing,
which, said Mr. lis no Wing al all-bul Wing.
In that letter, Ger. T. expresses his conviction
that the Wings OF this day represent more iallh-
fully than their opponents the doctrines oil Jener-
son. These allrsions TO The old General were
received with hearty applause.
Gen. Scott was next alluded TO, and The whole
assembly responded warmly 10 Mr.. lngersolfs
eulogium on that lried patriot and veteran soldier
There is, said Mr.. l., another eminent states
man, whose exalted virtues and eminent puolic
services must eve. endear him 10 The Wings.
fHere the enthusiasm Of the audience could
moi be restrained, and three times three were 81
given for Henry Clay.l
