GREAT DEMONSTRATIONIN NEW YORK II
BEHALF OF IRISH INDEPENDENCE

A rainy evening and the limited space of the
Broadway Tabernacle Gt accommodates about 5000
persons) prevented tho meeting appointed there or
the 9Th from fully justirying by its numbers alone
the title we have given it in this age OF monster
gatherings. But on the higher grounds Of cnthusi-
asm in the people, distinguished ability and eo-
qucnce in the orators, and stern yet humane and
dlgned tone Of determination i'll the sentiments and
measures proposed, it fully deserved tue name Of q
" Great demonstration" and will exert an influence
in this Country, in Ireland and in Great Britain.
The most important document Gn our opnion)
issued by the meeting, is remonsrancc addressed
| to the people of Great Britain, road by HORACE
GREELEY and characterized throughout by the
unmstaheablc traccry of his iron finger as we'll as
by tho whoiesoucd Philanthropy Of his generous
heart. We arc unable to make room for the Ad-
dresses or Resolutions but extract the following as
containing in a grcat measure the condensed sDirn
Of the whole affair.
Re$0trcd. That VIC do not suggest to the
people Of Ireland any measures for the re-
dress of the evils under which their rountrv
suffers; to their own wisdom, prudence and
courage that question properly belongs
Upon their own union, energy and resources
they must principally rely, under God, for a
triumphant issue. But America has mover
heard from people struggling for freedom
and national existence a call for life and sur-
cor and left the cry unanswered ireland
Shall not prove an exception; and, so far rs
American citizens may do so, we hereby fem
der to the people of Ireland all the sy,nna,
thieS OF hearts that love Liberty, and all the
energies, if need be, Of hands that know how
to maintain it.
1t is important to notice that the proposal made in
Ireland Of military preparations in this country,
contrary to the peace of the two nations was REM
dated, virtually by tho above resolution and di-
recty and emphaticay by the speakers.
VIM. II. Seward says in his letter to tho Com
mittee:
Freedom and Oppression are antagonists
to each other,-Republican is the proper
system Of the one, as Aristocracy and Moa-
archy are the proper systems of the other,
One or the other of these adverse systems
must ultimately prevail throughout the world.

THE AVAILABILITY" CANDIDATE.

1t will be perceived that We are in no haste tc
run up the flag Of Gen. Taylor. This Is not owing
to the disappointment Of our preferences, or to
any serious objection Enown 10 us concerning him.
Consistent ard considerable men, however, will net
be content with ignorance Of any objection TO Gen.
Taylor but will require to know some solid reason
wly he should receive their support. We for our
part, respect the man, aud hope that President he
will honor and benefit his country-but VIC have
yet to see the first item of hs political creed whc'!
commends him to our support as Wigs, and what
is Of far more consequence than this at tic present
critical period, we require the Indispensable con-
dition Of yielding our support to any candidate, his
unequlvocal adherence to tie principle of the VIII
MOT PEovIso; point upon whch-as indeed upon
most others-the opinions of Gen. Taylor are to all
other men, if not to himself things only to be
guessed at.
We do not feel disposed to see ourselves outdone
by Dcmocrats-men whom the Wings have hitherto
with too much reason despsed as the collarcd scrf
of Party-in point OF Independent and fearless adj
hesion to our principles; nor do we entertain any
fears that the mass Of our brother wings of the Free
North will suffer themselves to be so outdone. We
shall wat-and we predict that many will wait--tll
Gen. Taylor's opinions on this now cardinal point
are known to US, before we decide to advocate o.
vote for him.
We regard his election as scarcely matter of
try y npon nth the PROSPECT sS SMe fS9ng9nae our eo
marty is don,nn1 m dnfnat Nd ITuou r,oy-
thus have hopes Of weathering one storm more. As
N't;onahsts, expect the Taylor party will achieve
a victory tenefcent to the Union-bnt as wings, it
is very uncertain who viii be the worse beaten, they
or their opponents. IA David Graham said to the
Clay meeting at Niblo's Garden, at was once
thought that loco foco defeat was of necessity a
wing victory; but experience hes taught Us that it
may be wing defeat also"
In any case, We confidently predict n quiet time
for the people Of Vermont this season. The greater
number Of both parties care very little for either
candidate, and will till their farms and build their
railroads, for most part. 1t is certainly too late to
set orr mountains on FIRE with the blaze Of Gen.
Taylors military glory, aud what other elements Of
excitement can be brought to bear upon our people
in this contest we are unable to perceive. One of
the most serious objections we have to this nomina-
tion, so far as we know anything about it, is that
Gen. Taylor's battles are to form the capital stock
OF the concern. Apart from political questions VIC
like and admire him for the magnanmous qualities
and sterling abilities which his prominent and try
ing positions during the war have disclosed to the
world; but his popularity with the masses must be
kinded by the hot and bHghting blast Of military
fame and gory-red must be the banner sround which
his friends can hope to rally enthusiastic party.
