NEW YORK MOVING.


held tremendous meeting on Tuesday nigh
Of last week. All accounts concur in stating
that it was one of the largest and most enthu-
siastic meetings ever held in that city-even
the Tribune is compelled to admit the facts.
We copy from the N. Y. Courier d- Enquirer
the following:
The YoUNG Mans RALLY.-The meeting OF
the Wing young men of the city of New York,
held last evening In response TO the call OF the
Young mems committe. in the Washington pa
rade ground was one OF the largest, most har-
monious and most enthusiastic we have ever
witnessed in this city. None held by any par
~ sine the opening Of the present canvass
can be com pa red with ii in any respect, except
the great Canal street meeting of Ratification,
which probably exceeded it III numbers, tho
il was inferior TO il in every other respect. In
point of harmony, earnestness of feeling and
quiet though determined zeal in behalf of the
good Wing cause and candidate, we have not
seen its equal since the opening of the Can
vass.
The staging was erected on the western side
of the square, and he space before and around
il as far as the eye could reach beneath the
brilliant glare of lamps, was densely crowded
By most attentive, intelligent, and interested
multitude. Not less than $4,000, IN our judg-
ment were present The managers OF the meet
ing were disappointed in the non-attendance
of the distinguished orators from abroad who
had been invited, and were compelled to pro-
cure such speakers upon the spur of the mo-
ment as CHANGED 10 be on the spot and were
willing 10 be used to stop gap. The audi
ence, however, had evidently come prepared 10
listen to any who would put forth sound wing
doctrince, and urge the dictates of sober judg-
ment upon those whose duty is to take part in
the election of November next. Amore quiet,
attentive and intelligent assembly We have new
er seen gathered in the city of New York.
This great and most imirable m citing gives
goodly omen of the coming contest. 1t shows
that the Young Wings of the Empire City,
who have always been foremost in every strife
are arousing to the great struggle that lies be-
fore them. When they are once fairly enlisted
in the contest; we shall have little to fear as TO
the final issue.
And from the New York Commercial Adpcr-
tiScr the following:
Henceforth the Wings of this city ale har-
monious and i'm earnest for the election of Gen.
Zachary Taylor and Willard Fillmore TO the
Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United
States of this Union. The hopes of political
enemies, the desire Of estranged friends and the
fears of ardent and long-tried wings are now
at an end. In solid phalanx. young and old
are resolved to march TO victory under the ban
ner Of the Philadelphia convention. A cou-
months of earnest working, with as much
speaking and singing the people choose, but
not TO the neglect of thorough canvassing and
Organization, and General Taylor will be Pre-
sident elect Of these United States-and tina
will be the realization Of such hopes as patriots
breathe.
The meeting last evening gave assurance that
the Wings of this city will deserve success
1t was large, enthusiastic and harmonious
The speakers advertised were not there, which
was disappointment to many. Ii Is some
times impossible, or al least very announcement
to invite speakers from distance and receive
a reply between the first inception of a public
meeting and its announcement TO the public
but we would suggest that in advertisements a
distinction should be made between an invita-
ton and a promise TO come. Until gentle
man gives such an assurance ii is not fair eth
er TO him or to the public to announce him as
expected" This is a passing hint, because
we are convinced that this hanging out OF false
lights annoys the people, and persisted will de-
The call for the meeting was issued by the
Wing young mems committee, and the gener
al response to the call must have gratified them
The assemblage, too, seemed 10 feel that all
important duty was before them-that oppon
ents were in earnest-and that there was more
or less of peril to the great and good Whie
cause in New York, if the Wing party Longer
INDUCED in supineness, or yielCed TO the IN
fuence of any upon whom they had been &C
customed TO rely, but whose failure TO secure
the nomination of his or their iavorite candi
date. now leads them TO conquest with the fret
soil Democrats or WAIVER between No-lsm M
Van Buren-ism. The firm, united, earnest
enthusiastic temper of the meeting last even
ing must have convinced such that the time
for dalliance and indecision is at an end, ant
I that from this hour Wings that are Wings ar
n Taylor Wings.
. Upon this subject we speak without hesita
ton. The whig young men of this city are NJ
longer undecided, and their warm and cordia
Q adhesion will give the party new ardor and an
: imation. Many victory has crowned thei
arduous struggles. We shall not readily for
: get the spirit which they infused into the las
: Presidential contest. The glow of those feel
I ings is revived at every retrospect of tina
e campaign, and it is with unfeigned pleasur
: that we see them again putting on their armo
and pre- pairing to do battle for the party's choice
k The immense gathering of last night, in whic
e age aud youth, and wealth and bare competenc
stood on one platform of Wing principles
{ shows how cordially all have responded
