YORK.

1
The New York papers Of yesterday contain
glowing accounts OF the great meeting of cart
men which was held in that city on Thurs
day night. The Journal OF Commerce thus
speaks OF IL
| The Cartmen's Taylor Meeting on Thursday
night, al Vauxhall Garden. was decidedly one
OF the largest, if not the largest and most en-
thusiastic yet held in this city and among all
of that large body of men the most perfect
unanimity everywhere prevailed. The main
saloon was densely packed, and there were
probably twice as many outsiders there
were persons within and as the room can
hold 1000 to 5000, il is lair to presume there
were al least 2 600 on the ground. Those
without organized themselves into two bodies
and occupied different piIts oil the Gardea
AT one OF these stands, Judge Drinker presi
ded, aud MIR Burnett, (..ihe Rochester black
smith'') Col. Jack, and Mr. Jennings, deliver
ed speeches. AT the other Robert Mulligan
presided, aud speeches were delivered by Ho
race Greeley, Chas. Delevan and Mr. Brooks
At the principal stand within the saloon, Mr.
Joseph Keene was chosen President, and the
Hon. David Paul Brown, OF Phlladel phia ex-
Governor Seward, aud IS. Thayer. we're call
ed upon TO address the meeting. The oratory
was foT the most part OF high Order, but
whether high or low, all we're equally enhu-
slastic In extoling the merits OF the candi-
dates, and recommending them TO the accep
lance Of their audiences. Patriotic songs
were nierspersed III the speeches, fireworks
were quite abundant and hand OF music
did its part TO stir up all sluggish spirits Al
l03 o'clock the meetings were adjourned, all
hands lett the ground in the best possible
manner, and apparently very well pleased
with the evenings performances.
The following are among the resolutions
which were passed:
RcsoiUed, That we regard the Will OF the
People, while acting within constitutional
limits, as the fundamental principle which
forms the enduring basis OF all the Tree insti-
tutions, and that the WdntOn and capriclous
exercise OF the one man power 10 thwdrt the
Peoples will, and TO subserve the paltry pur
poses OF Party, calls for the severe and indig
nant condemnation of every patriotic heart
Rcsolued, That our model of Patriot and
the one we would choose for our children, Is
now, and ever will be, found in the character
and life of him who was first in war; first IN
peace, and fist in the hearts oil his country
men.
Resolved, That Zachary Taylor is Wash
i0gtonian Patriot. The man oil our choice
the man OF the people and for the people, an
honest determined and ust man, nc bic
General and with sound judgment and prompt
action, wise III council, ready Tor battle, and
an earnest advocate OF honorable Peace. We
are proud of his gallant deeds and brilliant
victories and willingly and heartily coniile
in his undoubted PATRIOTISM. For him we meet
for him we speak -ior him We will act, till
we add our victory to his victories, and the
cheers OF happy millions shall resound and be
echoed over all the hills and in all the valleys
OF our favored land.
Resolped, That we also hail with unboun-
ded satisfaction, the suspicious appearance on
The political arena OF Zachary Taylor, a man
rising from the masses by the force OF The sim
pie and sublime elements of true greatness,
unhscknied IN the crooked ways of selfish or
designing politicians, and unpledged to ultra
party schemes or interests, with slgaclly
enough TO see the true theory of our ins,ilu.
lions, and INDEPENDENCE enough to plant him
self firmly on The platform OF the Cons;i-
tuition aud the will OF the people, borne up
ward aud onward by the deep and sponlane-
Gus affections OF the people, we anlently hope
and believe that their sutimges will place him
triumphsntly in the Chair OF State, and his
administration may confer upon our beloved
country g!ories as Brilliant aud enduring as
those OF Palo Alto and Buena Vista
Resotred, That Willard Fillmore is another
example FOR the American Boyle hos eleva
ted himself by faithful service aud an hon
est patriotism without The influence O. birth
or the aid OF wealth, alone.-We will do our
best to send him along to victory.
Resided, That with such men TO lead ua
in the coming Ma ional and State struggles
as Zachary Taylor aud Hamilton Fish, we
feel double assurance that when the smoke
OF the contest shall roll from the ba lile-feld
on the 9TH OF November, the Eagles Of Veto
tory will be found perched upon our stan,
dards.
The Courier & Enquirer speaking of The
meeting says: The hard handed sons of toll
were there in the strength of their numbers
aud The honest aborer and mechanic stood
shoulder 10 shoulder To listen TO the words o

dent enthusiasm prnaded the mass. and
shout after shout cheerrd the names of the IA
vuriles OF the hig party. We could not
have desired a more earnest, hearirr OF

patriotic feeling; and The Carin,en OF New
