ON THE MALcoNrENT MOVEMENT IN N.YoRK.

FROM THE ALBANY EVENING JOURNAL MONDAY.
The NEW MOVEMENT New YoRK.-There II
meeting in the city Of New York, Friday, which invoked
the Of Mr. CLAY, not with amy expectation Of bene6ng
that eminent statesman but for the purpose and with the
sign Of distracng the Wing party and defeating its cand
dates for President and Vice President But though such
the object Of the movement such will not be its effect
Of the tens Of thousands Of Wings in State whose hearts
with Mr.. CLAY, there few, indeed who be drawn
away from their duty by the speciors but unworthy prona
ton of his name.
Wills HALL, who presided the gathering together
with those who got up, committed in favor of Mr. yAn
Buren,. Their object therefore, transparent. How lar
that object consistent with their proessed regard for Mr.
CLAY whose used promote the interests of Mr. VAS
BuREN, will leave Mr. CLAY himself TO determine.
This movement though excepting the word Of promise 10
the ear" Of Mr. FILLMORE, alike hostile him and Gen.
TAYLOR The association of his with that Of Mr. CLAY
independent electoral ticket for the benefit Of
Mr. VAN BURES, was piece Of gratuitoas treachery.
We infer from this side movement that the direct efforts Of
Messrs. HALL, WHITE, SELDEs, DAVIS &c. to begalr
Wings into the support of Mr. VAN BunES have been
successful and hence the attempt to divide party whose
integrity and faith tempted in vain. But the effor TO
dsoganze Wings will prove equally abortive The spirit Of
revenge, when the country to be its VICTIM will find little
sympathy in Wing bosoms.

and lbe same fault was found against
Jackson that is now found against Taylor;
that is to say, he had not learned his po-

Jackson had held four or FIVE civil 9ffi-

"The present position of the Taylor
party remindsus of story we once heard
of a farmer, who one morning let his sheep
out of the pen. Having put down the
bars the old man Stood by to count Them

first we could count the deserters-one,
two, three; but il was soon ascertained
that the, bounds were broken, that the bars
were down, and the 'old ewes aud the
black ones began hopping out very fast
and followed asrapidly by whole heaps,
as to bid defiance to any attempts to keep
count, and soon poor Taylor will have to
exclaim," Curse them there MeyaH goP'
Funny, isn't il!--Ohio Eagle.
Yes, it is very "fnnny"l but what is
"fnnnier" is this-lhat the Editors of the
Eagle should thus try the gnllbiIity of
of its readers. Is any one of them so
green as to believe that a 'thorough
Wing organ" in Louisiana, and deci,
ded Taylor paper at that. would use
such languagel And yet the attempt of
the Eagle looks as if the Editors believ-
ed so.
The article, from which the above is
made up, d,d appear in the Bulletin, but
the Editors of the Eagle have inserted
Tay'or's name in the three places where
Cass' s'-was in the Bulletin.
We agree with the Cincinnati Chron-

Of lying on great scale for very small

even from him, what's accustomed to it.
And as the question has been asked of
the Bulletin and the Louisville Journal,

could do such an act?" we shall be
