OF society,rw was at once pronounced to be of m
mense pretensions, good singer and the only
great artist who had as yet appeared in this
country. Such she was pronounced by the
French paper, the delectable Courier DIES Etats
Unis. Well, she appeared and sang. All her
merits were admitted and her defects noticed,
even by those who were considered not as pro-
per judges according to the moustache gentry.
But in consequence of this just and accurate
opinion of her merits, the whole American
community, and all the other different streaks of
society, are pronounced to be utterly ignorant
and incompetent, because they were not ready to
fall down and worship at once the sayings of
those who were backed by the natural and dyed
moustaches.
The important controversy is still in mid ca
reer,-the amusing conflict still exists among
the various streaks which compose society in
New York; and it is not yet ascertained who
will come out superior. If the French get the
supreme rule, all the others, it is thought, will
combine to fight another Waterloo, and roll
back the imperial dictators into their own origi-
nal nothingness, or at least send them to Eba or
st. Helena.
As it is a most important contest, we shall
watch its progress, and report from time to time
accordingly. We suppose Biscaccianti will again
appear and, of course, Patti too, at proper inter-
vals Come, let's have some fun.

THE TAYLOR MovEMENT.-It will be seen,
from our report of Taylor meeting in the ninth
ward last evening, in this days paper, that the
friends of General Taylor are increasing in spirit
and in numbers. This was the greatest demon
stration yet made in this city in favor of the
hero of Buena Vista, as candidate for the
Presidency If the movement increases in this
way, there is every chance of the great meeting
on the twenty-second being brilliant affair.
There is nothing like perseverance in this world,
in politics as well as in every thing else. If the
friends of General Taylor do meet with success,
they can do more-they can deserve it,

The Magnetic Telegraph.

The Southern line of telegraph became disar-
ranged last night, between Washington and
Philadelphia, in consequence of which we are
deprived of our usual Geographic summary, Gre
ceivipg but small portion by the night maiD and
other intelligence from the South. We were
more fortunate, however, with the Northern
line, having received our reports of the legisla-
tive proceedings The bill relative to the general
banking law taken up in the Senate but
from the diversity of opinion, on the slbject of
finance, among the members-each proposing
some alteration or amendment to the original
bill-nothing definite was done. In the Assem-
bly,, the lien law for mechanics was taken up and
debated, and an amendment, making the bill
applicable to cities only, was passed The bill
by riois, having been amended so as to apply
prospectively, was passed in committee-which
closed the deliberations of that body for the day

PRESIDENTIAL.

We give as full an account of the National
Convention as room will permit. More anon.-
Our remarks must also be brief
Gen. ZACHARY TAYLOR of Louisiana is
the nominee for the Presidency: among all the
wings named for that Office, none could have
been selected so unwecome to u.s.
WILLARD FILLMORE of New York is the
candidate for Vice President-a noble son of
Vermont, born in an humble cot among the
Green Mountains, and Graded in a sap trough"
A man of good principles, good talents, sound
Judgment long experience in public affairs, I'M
doubted Integrity and unsullied character, no
name could be more heartily welcomed by u.s.
With honest pride and heartfelt JOY can Vermont
i hail his elevation to the second postia the Gov
eminent 1t is very great point gained to have
the balance of power in the Senate, and the reg
version of the Presidency itself, in such safe
hands.
| What now? There is but one prudent course
to pursue. Wherefore, my beloved brethren,
let every man be swift 10 hear, slow to speak,
slow TO wrath" We can take no hasty steps
yield to no hasty conclusions. In the Judgment
of the convention, after unreserved discussion,
Gen. Taylor can be elected by the vigorous sup
pert o! the wings, and is the only wing that can
be elected. Let it be remembered that all the
districts in the Union save nine (one northern
and eight southern) were represented: the con.
venton had ample means of forming a correct
opinion we, who were not on the ground but
costly guessing in our good easy chairs at home,
should be slow in rejecting the opinion of the
convention. Now if that opinion is right upon
the Northern wings rests an exceedingly weighty
responsibility result is in the hands Of The
Whigs Of The North. Let us feel this RESPONSE
bility let us neither rashy waste our power for
good, nor stimulate and strengthen the reckless
and restless traders in politics and principles,
whose ambition balks not at Slavery and War,
worse than Pestilence and Famine, Let us rath-

IN lNDEPENDE SQUARE


The Wing Young Mems National Convention
of Ratification was held LAST evening, in indie
pendence Square 1t was an inimense-a mighty
de nons'raton -TliOUSANDS upon THOUS-
ANDS were in attendance, not only the Whjgs
Of the city and county of Philadelphia, but from
all the pefgh6brlng States. New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Marylan and one or two 9TH
ers of our comparatively lnear nelghbors, were
fully represented. Some Of the delegates were
distinguished by appropriate badges aud notices,
and the spirit throughout was of
UNION - HARMONY AND CONSULTATIONS
All regarded each other as Wings, aiming at
one common object, the triumph of the cause
aud the good of the country, and thus CLAY men
and TAYLOR men-the friends of Scorr, ana of
WEBSTER, of CLAYTON, and MCLEAN, all uni
ted, harmonized, and shouted together. The en-
thusIasm surpassed everything Of the kind that
has ever occurred in our city.
The scene at times was at once exciting and
sublime such an immense mass OF human be-
ings, all animated by one impulse-all moved by
the same patriotic cuuse-turglylng and forget
ting past differences OF OF lnlUn-unltng upon
one broad, liberal aud national and patriotic pat
form The lights--the musc-the flags the
banners the lnscriptons-the many stands
thrilling speeches, and ever aud anon the shouts
OF the vast multitude served 10 form u scene that
stirred the depths Of the heart.
1t is impossible, within the limits TO which we
are compelled 10 conhne ourselves, to do more
Than give a mere outline OF this demonstration.
Indeed, the scenes were 30 many-tbe speakers
so numerous-and the applause so frequent, that
II would be impossible 10 do justice, IN any at
tempt al full aud graphic details.
Long before the hour ol the meeting, depnta-
tons poured into the Square at all points. some
were accompanied by bands Of music, bore ban
ners aud flags, were led on by Marshals with
sashes aud badges, and were greeted with tho
loudest acclamatioLs by the thousands who had
already assembled. The Square was brilliantly
illuminated with Drummond, Bengoa, and other
lights, and al Intervals, cannon were discharge.
