Sixth Congressional District Casss and Butler
Meeting.
The friends OF Cass and Butler, residing in the
Sixth Congressional District of this city, held a
meeting last evening at Vauxhall Garden, for the
purpose OF responding to the nominations made by
the Baltimore Convention, and generally of rails
ing an excitement in favor of those candidates in
that district.
After the meeting was called to order, a series
OF resolutions, embodying the views of the bunker
portion of the democratic family in that district next
was read and passed, and afterwards
JAMES T. BRADY, Esq was called for and said that
he believed the audience would recognize him
who had always vindicated democratic principles but
the part which he would take this evening not to
advocate the success Of their candidates much
to vent his and towards the detesa
bic traitor who have left their camp He would leave
the wings to be handled by one to follow him with
Cass and Butler so with the question Of slavery and
would confine his attention to the miserable faction
of barn burners. In his young days. he said, he
membered how he mounted the r0srum in the fiery
old Sixth, to animate the democrats and in doing So
he often breathed the name of that champion Of de-
mocracy, General Jackson. The time came whom
the efulgence Of Jackson's name cast Martin
Van Buren,, who without that, never would have had
popularity to secure him from defeat. He was
elected by the main strength of the democratic
party. There were times, too, when all the muscle
Of the democracy scarcely sufficient to carry him
along and it not for the purity of the democratic
principles he never would have been elected. Under
these circumstances it expected that Martin Van
Buren, would at least have made some aok nowledg-
against the party Prior to $780, he the speaker en-
teItained the conviction which he does of the
man; he never had confidence in him. and opposed
to his nomination Well, he wanted to be nominated
for the Presidency, but he not, and what then
He the speaker had always learned that acquiescence
In the viii of the majority the vital principle of
all republcs-but not so with Mr. Van buren, He
wrote letter saying that he had no hard feelings for

us they gave him their support Does history sustain
their opposition TO the annexation Of Texas (Cries
Of No. no." They were opposed to the annexation

all the politicians Of the world could withstand
their impulses And so 1t proved: The lone star was
added to our constellation and when the conflict with

Brady that look with disgust on those who,
living, call the names Of the dead to sustain them
Sias Wright was made Governor Of New York, and
amount Of five thousand votes, against electoral
tickets And how did they explain it By saying the
wings voted for him To use homely phrase, they
would no vote fer Silas Wright, than regular
Clay man will vote for General Taylor. It was I'M
doubtedly dtagreeabe for these men to MIR. Polk

The time approached for another election Mr. Van
Buren, kept up that eternal squirting and thought he
him alive for ever He DID not come forth but his
friends thought If they could get Mr. Fagg nominated
ture operations. Wen. they went into the Syracuse
Convention with John Van Buren, at their head, and
Churchill G. Cambreng at their tail. Mr.. Rathbun
talked of our having assassinated Mr. Wright, aud
denying him the rights of burial. Mr.. Cnmbrelling
talked Of Dr. Brapdreth and his pills John vsu Buren,
came there too and all of them, with Preston King
tried to break up organization, until two clock
on Sunday morning. The latter gentleman said
before arecess, that he meant to throw into that
convention the fire brand Of slavery Well, in view
Of the fact that they wanted to the convention
into another week, he, the speaker moved lay the
sunday morning, Preston King advanced, and raised
hubbaloo, such as never was at meeting,
even in the Sixth Ward. We were told then, unless
we nominate MIR. Flagg, the State would be lost.
"Why," said the speaker may oil perish, but the
people cannot be prevented from obtaining victory
but they voted against u.s. and the uence was
that the State passed into the hands of the wings
for this we are indebted to Mr. Van Buren, the same
whe after receiving the support Of the South turned
away from his past love- and embraces liberty

when enthusiastic emotions spring up in natures
when it is the result of long principles; the
last place to look for it would be in the hard encrust

prophecy, but that they will be defeated in
their purposes. They have linked themselves with
abolitonists socialists, and wings and they may yet
join the wings proper but If they do, it will be the
blind leading the blind and they will both fall into
the same ditch. They have the game arranged Just
as he the speaker would like it, for their candidate
is in such position to be easily whirled into that
oblivion from which he hoped be lie destined to
rise
by saying that he would follow the factionists and
them to Herkmer where he said they to per-

by Mr. Rogers that the committee refuse to open the

Mr. Cambrelling got up and said that his friends de-
sired to retire to consult They won't accordingly
and he he speaker) went out TO after them, but
he was met by man who said they did not int nd to

ballots, and after Cass got twothirds and entered
their protest against the whole of the proceednes
They started Off then to carry out their rebellion and
kick up row in the North. The South they say has
trampled upon us; the South has deceived us. Well

pledge upon us; and he would defy them to show that
the South desired to trample on them The South say
all we want Ia to have our rights respected under the
