GREAT WAR M EETlNG IN New YoRk.-

GREAT WAR MEETING IN New YoRk.-
A large and enthusiastic meeting Of the
friends Of the country, wa. held at Tamma-
ny Hall. in the city Of New York, on the
2olh ult. The meeting was addressed by
Senator Houston,of Texas, Senator Foote,
Of Mississippi, MIR. Brown, and Mr.. Eames.
The following notice Of the meeting is Civ
en- by the New York Sun, a paper which
is neutral in politics, but which, like near
Iy every other neutral paper in the coun
try, is manfuly battling on the side Of its
own country in the struggle in which she
is engaged: .--
'THs WAR AND THE COUNTRY Sus.
TAINED.-Never have. we witnessed a
more imposing demonstration In which men
of all parties united, than that of Saturday
evening at Tnmmany Hall, to sustain the
justice OF the war and the honor Of the
country. We regretted to see anything
of a party character introduced in the reso-
lutions, for there were hundreds of leading
wings present, who joined as heartily in
vcciierous applause Of the justice of the
war, as any democrat. The greatest una
nmity prevailed, however. Not the slight
est evidence of dissension upon the objects
OF the meeting was perceptble throughout
the evening. About ten thousand persons
visited the hall or participated in the pro-
ceedlngs. The great demonstration prov
ed conclusively that but one opinion pre-
walls among the people Of this city Il pom
the war question, and the policy to be Pur.
sued with Mexico"

RumOrS of Peace.

Rumors of peace-of q treaty OF peace

in the city, and in the Capitol, tha. we think
it our duty to state there is no official ac-

more than once stated that Mr.. Trist has
no power or instructions to treat with the
Mexicans. But no treaty, or PROFIT of one,
has been Observation-Disclosures Union.

From Caleb B, Smith, a leading Wing men,


Der of Congress from Indiana:
As Northern Wing, desiring to prerent
the extension Of Slavery into any territory
which we possess; or which We may hereaf-
ter acquire, greatly prefer the election Of
Gen. Taylor to that Of Gen. Coss. This re-
s,riction, if made at all, must be made by Con-
gress; Gen. Cass has pledged himself to the
South 10 resist any attempt to restrict
the extension of slavery. He denies The pow
or OF Congress, under the Constitution, 10 max
any such restrictions; and, consequently, if
he should be elected. he arould reto ann bill
trhich Congress might pass to effect this impor-
tant object. Gen. Taylor has pledged himself
to leave the decision of this question 10 the
legislative department of the Government, and
he will not arrest the action of that depart
ment by the tyrannical exercise of the veto
power Tile election of Gen. 1ay.
lor, arih the pledges he has giren TO the coun'
try, 1rW leQre to Congress full potrer to pre-
uent the extension of this eril-(slavery)
The election of Gen'l Taylor will leave
in the hands of the representatives of the PEG
pie their just and constitutional power TO eX-
clude the evil of slavery from the Territories
which belong to the United States"

The following notice of the Vermont election
is taken from the New York Globe, the lead

the people of Georgia to form their own esti-
mate of the soundness of Gen. Cass on the
constitutional principles for which the South
contends IN this Free Soil question, when it is
found that the Free Soil party so bitterly op-
pose him as being opposed to them. If he is
against the Free Soil party and their views,
how can he be against the South also
Returned among the Seateri"g.-The
Cass candidate for Governor in Vermont will
be returned among the scattering. He is man
OF considerable personal popularity, and avow-
ed himself friendly to the Free Soil principle !;
but he had the misfortune to be supporter Of

ged to ueto the Jefsrso'sian Proviso, the peo-
pie Of Vermont could not eonseientiously cote
for him.

a reliable maxim, and "if the rule is good for

his friends and heir apparent is Willard Fill

the most dangerous abolitionist he admits
slavery to be an evil; he prefers the free in.
situations of the North he will not hold the
shield of the constitution over the South The
free soil party is the offspring of just such
Shareholders. He admits it an evil, and gives
them their only argument-if it is an evil why
spread it? Thus prove General Taylor rht
dangerous enemy of the South. The assoc

they do tender in the canvass. He allows

Tune" o Scissors"
BIZ J. E. DOW.

The good old days have come again,
The golden time of story,
When labor reaps its honest gain
Beneath the stars of glory.
The giIded drones no longer steer
Our bark upon the bilIow,
And Mammon sheds his bitter tear
Upon his silken pillow.
o Truman!
The hills with yellow harvests wane,
The plains with sheafs are bristing
Old want has found an early grave,
Ard care has Misunderstanding.
The richly-laden Argosie
The widest wave is crossing,
And day by day upon our lee
A golden fleece is tossing.
o Truman!
What though the spindIes by the streams
Grow silent with the twilight,
And capitalists find their dreams
OF golden gains to lie light 3
The farmer gets his broadcloth cheap
The maiden's lace is finer;
And though few old lnisers weep,
The world is no repiner.
0 Truman!
The forests bow benesth our tread,
The deserts bloom to WOO US.
Our beacon-fres are tall and red,
And nations flock unto US;
Each ploughman is king beside
His hearthstone and his altar,
And, like queen, his rural bride
Ne'er brooks an English halter.
D Truman!
Go manacIe the crouching slave,
Go bind the craven spirit,
Let brutal ignorance dig its grave,
And sin its chains inherit
But clasp no letters On our limbs,
Nor curb US with embargoes,
We would have freedom in our whims,
And profits on our cargoes.
Truman!
AS kings, we'll tax ourselves to pay
Our debts like honest people;
Well build place to teach and pray,
And DER it put steeple;
Wen honor God and succor man,
And love our honest neighbors;
But wo to those who mar our plan,
Or trifie with our sabres.
D TTuman!
We scorn to see a noble name
Assailed in party quarrels
We will not put our sires to shame,
Or doubt our country's laurels;
We will not act traitors part,
Or aid a cruel foeman;
But we will love with all our heart
Our God-ouy eountTy-woman.
