THE DEMOCRATIC UNION MEETING IN N. YoRK-We
referred some days ago to meeting called for Saturday
night last to assemble in Tammany Hall in behalf Of
the Union Of these States and although the call was ad-
dressed to citizens OF one party only yet could not
| but regard the movement suspicious one-snce
purpose as truly national could not be made to wear
partizan aspect.
But it seems that faction is still uppermost in Tam
many Hall. The occasion OF the meeting was seized
upon by one OF the sections OF the party formerly known
the Democratic to assert their right the occupancy
OF the Hall. The Journal OF Commerce thus speaks Of
| the usurpers.
Having organized large gang OF rowdes and ruff
fans, they repaired to Tammany Hall before the hour
appointed for the meeting and broke open the door of
the room where it was to be held and appointed Pre-
| sldent, who Immediately commenced readino series
| of resolutions As the hour appointed for holding the
meeting had not yet arrived but few persons were then
in tie room Shortly after, however, large num-
Der OF persons came in, and seeing very different
person, from whom they expected presiding and see
ing OF the committee who called the meeting in the
room, some OF them naturally expressed their surprise
| and asked tor an explanation. And every man who
did so, was Immediately seized by of the rufans
employed for the purpose, and dragged out of the
ROOM"
Gwen several persons who made no remark or at
tempted in any way to interrupt the meeting but who
were known to hold opinions different from those who
concocted it, grossly insuted and compelled to
leave the room. Mr.. Sickes, one Of those who had
called the meeting which thus prevented from be-
ing held, was seen standing on the platform behind the
chairman; and on being recognized he was immediate
y seized by seven eight ruans and dragged through
the room IN so violent manner that should not be
surprised he has sustained serious personal in
jury So utterly was deeency, decor, even respect
for themselves lost sight Of by the in this out
rage, that some OF those who figured orators on the
occasion were the most active in pointing out those
who should be dragged from the room and in doing So
used the lowest and most rufianly language, such as
turn out that white vered rascal kick out that fel
| low near the door "
"In the of an hour after this meeting had COM
menced its orgies large number OF persons who came
to take part in the proceedings which were to have
taken place, had entered the room, and it proposed
by some OF them to expel the ntruders and organize
the meeting for which the room had been engaged As
this, however, would most probably have eventuated in
serious personal injury to many the idea abandoned
and large number OF persons left the room Some
others renamed from curiosity to see how the matter
would end and after four five persons had spoken
the resolutions declared by the chairman to have
The faction which thus took possession Of the head
quarters OF Democracy in New York the Barn
burner, headed by Capt. Rynders Worthy gentle
men, these to stand forth pres of the Union If
the voice from Iammany Is the voice OF the democra
cy OF New York, The party must have taken violent
| cold-or a more husky voice has seldom been heard
The Evening Post speaks of the Cas- and Butler men
the nruders at the meeting, and although not friend
ly to violent proceedings thinks that they were very
properly put out ofrhe Hall. They We're disturbing the
business of the Democracy then in council, rather
in Committee OF the Whole upon the State OF the
Union The Courier, however, is OF the opinion that
the result OF the meeting indicates anything but harmo
ny in the party and that instead ofcemenng the Union
they have divided themselves 1t Classics them un-
der three des gnatons-hrst the Hunkers; secondly
Barnbuners thirdly those who belong to neither wing
but would coaesce with both, if they could do so with
advantage to themselves. -Bat Amer.
An address from the General Committee to the De-
mocracy thus concludes:
| We regret that Tammany Hall is open to the admjs-
sion such desperate persons and that Rynders has the
means to the cooperation OF Purdy, Ming, and
Lorenzo B. Shepard, which latter person addressed the
rotous meetings but we feel confident that the true De-
mocrats and sincere friends OF our Union will under
stand that though patriotic intention in this meeting
has thus been for time thwarted, the intention itself
still exists, and shall be promptly manifested in man
ner which shall unquestonably reflect the true senti-
ments OF the Democracy OF this great metropolis.
We the regret the disturbances referred to, be-
it desire to have submitted letters from
Senators Cass and Dickinson full OF patriotic feeling in
| favor of our Union.
The audaety of those who presumed to attend this
meeting, though they were known to have been in favor
of the "Wmot Proviso, will not astonish those who
know the character OF their leaders.
From what has already been stated ii will appear OBJ
vous that the design OF such RyndeTs, Purdy,
Shepard and Ming, is to create union between them
selves and the Barnburners for their common profit in
the hope that the combination of treachery and dup
city may prevent the ascendancy OF those who stood by
our country, and the principals and candidates of the
democracy, when renegrades and traitors supported
Van Buren,, the Migrate and Adams, the Federalist by
means of which they defeated Cass and Butler and
caused the election of Wing President We are not
time servers and we cannot associate with them We
think it infinitely more important that The integrity of
ou party should be maintained than, by coaescng with
traitors ascendancy once dsgracetul and
unreliable because involving the sacrifice Of principle
