the noble hearted Cubans, who are just awakening
to sense of their rights, and are determined to

be great American demonstration in favor of the
European people, against European tyrants.
Neither must this meeting be allowed to end in

ject. Eloquent speeches are very well in their way
beautiful addresses are very well in their way
tremendous cheers are very well in their way but
these are times for action rather than words. We
do not wish to this enthusiasm for Hungary
evaporate into thin air. We desire to see it assume
tangible form and practical shape. If the lead
ers in this grand demonstration mean anything,
they will call upon the government at Washington
to recognise Hungarian independence, by at once
receiving the envoy OF Hungary as regularly ac-
credited diplomatic agent OF that heroic people.
All sincere sympathisers with the Hungarians are
fixed and decided on this point; and it fortunately
affords test by which to try the commences of
the professions made IN behalf of Hungary. We
cannot doubt, that among the resolutions adopted
at this meeting, will be one calling upon the adj
ministration at Washington to do their duty, by
an immediate recognition of Hungarian indepen-
dence.
TERRIBLE REVOLUTION IMPENDING IN New YORK
AND New ENGLAND-A REVOLUTION IN FASHION
ABLE LIFE during the last few years, the course
Of certain portions of fashionable society and hotel
keepers, at Newport and Saratoga, has been of
such character that there is an evident di sturb
ance Of the elements of that kind of life, in those
great centres of all that is elegant in connection
with this metropolis. We should not be at all sur
prised, indeed, to see, some bright Sunday
morning, as the church bells are ringing saints and
sinners to the services OF the church, the most ter
rible revolution break out, beating all European
revolutions hollow, and putting Hungary to the
blush. Some symptoms of revolt and rebellion
were exhibited last year at Newport and during
the present season, ut Saratoga, the grumblings
and mutterngs Of the insurrectionary storm were
quite alarming.
This is serious business, and just6es little
investigation even in this hot weather. 1t appears
that, for year two, certain little cliques from
particular localities have taken upon themselves
great airs and mighty pretensions, assuming, by a
sort Of prescriptive right the administration of all
the affairs of the world offashon, just as the light
est tinted mulatoes, ut Signor Pete Williams ele-
CANT caravansary, the Five Points, undertake to
rule, regulate and control the whole polite society
of that classic region Some Of these individuals
are possessed of some wealth, and others are not
so fortunate while, in general, they are all be-
meath the ordinary run of humanity in broadcloth
and SATIN, respects the personal and intellectual
graces which give dignity and fascination to the
bipeds which crawl, or scamper, or sneak, or strut
upon this dirty planet the earth. These cliques
undertake. IN fact, 10 exclude others from the en-
joyment of the advantages, benefits, and plea
sures which are exposed for sale at the places
of fashionable resort. For instance, they occupy
the floor exclusively on the night set apart
for dancing parties, and wrggle through the
"Polka's meritricious pace,n
OF swim round the room in the German waltz, TO
the exclusion Of everybody else. This year, they
introduced at Saratoga dance, or ballet, which
contains all the atrocities, cccentricies, and b.
-auors enhancing, as practi.ed in the four quarters
ofthe globe, from the piquant polka Of the Hun
geran peasant, TO the decent fandango of the
South Sea Islands; and lasts only about two hours.
Now, as to the table, they bribe the walters by
promises or shillings, as the may be, and se-
cure the best dishes at the dinner table, and all the
tii.bits Of the cuisine
Against all this monopozing and impairment
conduct, terrible revolutionary feeling has been
aroused among the outside barbarians; open re-
volt has almost been proclaimed against the de-
scendants Of tailors and pedlars in New York,
Boston, and elsewhere. IL is acknowledged that
the taiors and pedlsrs of the las, century had a
perfect night to transmit pugnoses and pretension,
scrofula and city lots, to half dozen generations;
but it is no, admitted tina, two or three little cqucs
should absolutely rule the roast at Newport and
Saratoga. In fact, there is an awful storm brew
ing. The swelling tide Of fashionable Indignation
is becoming stronger and stronger. 1, cannot be
restrained much longer. Boilers will burst, If you
| put too much steam on.
Many Of the hotel keepers in these places of pub
lie resort, have been silly enough, and blind
enough, and stupid enough to aid these exclu-
sivcs, and be controlled by them, instead Of con-
Quoting their establishments on those prin-
oiples Of liberty and equality which alone
give popularity to those public places. A,
Saraioga, the propriotors of the hotels have al
lowed themselves to be entirely controlled in this
way. We have hitherto invariably supported, adj
mired, venerated, and euloglzed the management
Of the hotels at Saratoga, particularly the United
: ates,' "Copgres. Hail." and the "Union
Hotel - and the same treatment has been ex-
tended to those in Newport, the "Atlantic,' :,
bellevue" and the "Ocesn House" But, ac-
oording TO the mos, reliable accounts, the manage
ment Of these public houses has, Of late, outraged
table. We do not care one cent, one iota, for all
the attentions which these hotcLkcepers may
lavish upon our reporters or agents, gra,ui,ously
