In publishing In yesterdays Union, the report given in
the New York Globe of the proceedings of the great War
Meeting on Saturday last in the city of New York we
had intended to accompany them with the editorial art
Gle of the "Gobe" upon the subject We perceive with
regret, however that OF the paragraphs of that art
Gle alludes in terms of harshness to that section OF the
democratic party in New York which has recently as
scmbled at Albany This portion of the article we there
fore omit Believing that the entire movement of this
War Meeting has been conceived in spirit of har.
mony between the two sections Of the democracy of the
Empire State, deem it highly nexpedient that any
thing should appear in our columns which is calculated
prejudice in the slightest degree that most desirable
result.
In the notice taken by the Globe Of the speeches de-
livered by the gentlemen who addressed the meeting it
will be seen that the connexion of one of them with the
edtorship of this journal is referred to- Mr. Eames has
been associated with than two years and, as
matter of justice him. we take occasion to state that
during the whole period OF his connexon with u.s. he has
assumed any responsibility exercised any con.
troll in the general course and management Of the Unon
except upon two three occasions when have been
absent from Washington for few days
Having, in compliance with the request of Mr.. Eames
made the above statement, we should do injustice both
to his merits and to feelings, if we did not en-
brace this opportunity to testify high appreciation of
the value of his services and the vgor of his pen in the
discussion OF the many political topics treated by him in
our editorial columns.
In relation to the call of the meeting, the Globe
says:

zaom Our general committees. and various ward com
mittees, of character and standing in the commu
nty and their prompt call for the great meeting Tam
many Hail. express opinions the Mexican war, is
evidence of their devotion the of country.
There no mock support of the war, hypocrtcal
enthusiasm manifested within the old Democratic Temple
on Saturday evening last Whoever attended there,
vnced that sincerity in the support of countys
and deep devotion her honor, marked upon every
brow in that assembage. Each lii
with enhusasm and each eye beamed with glory, when
the various speakers concluded their patriotic remarks.
Senator Houston extremely happy in his remarks;
and he pronounced by Tammany Hall audience
judges of extempore speaking-to be of the
best stump spe akers the sound of whose reverb
era ted from the walls of the Old Wgwam for many years
past Senator Fooe distinguished himself for briliiancy
thou h and we'll maintained the high character ab
inv he has already acquired the floor of the United
States Senate. Charles Eames esq, of the talented
editors of the Washington Union, followed Senator Foote
Mr. Eames is gentleman whose pen graces the columns
of the able paper with which he is connected; and well
did he sustain, before New York audience at least
seven thousand persons, that reputation tor high inel
geucc he has Justly acquired, both in literary pursuits
a nd in the field of political discussion
We extremely regret that We have not fuller report of
the remarks of this talented young democrat He dwe
upon points Of controversy in relation to the which
of deep interest," and proper understanding of which
is of the highest importance. We only give skeleton
| his remarks, written from recollection
! Mr. Brown, who is ex-member of Congress from
western State followed Mr.. Eames, and was extremely
feictous in his remarks, well as instructive Roars of
followed the humorous expressions ofthe speaker
and he closed his remarks amid the loud pands of the
vast congregation assembled
Senator Houston then made short speech, In which he
alluded the false opinions that had been promu

Houston) visit Texas for the purpose of producing
elution and annexng Texas to the Union
Let remark, that he who supposes there any
material difference OF opinion among city democracy
ON the question OF sustaining the administration in vigor-
os prosecution of the war, with view speedy and an
honorable peace, must be deranged. And bear in mind
it must be peace bringing with it full indemnity.
