The Great Meeting-Popuisr Demonstrate on

We will endeayor TO publish TO morrow, the callfor
a great PuBLro MEETING, to be held At Castle Gar
dea on "Wednesday evening next, for the purpose Of
expressing the public opinion Of New York, 10 op-
position to any further agitation Of the slavery ques
ton and in favor Of the compromise measures passed
at the last session Of Congress This call is signed
bythree or tour thou Of the most respectable and
iLfueptsl persons in this city, Of all classes eompd
rng merchants, traders, mechanics and professional
men ofsll kinds These Eames have been collected
within the last three or four days, and probably not
a dozen Of those who were applied TO for their sig
natures, refused uniting in this great movement. IL

bet Of names will be swelled to some ten thousand,
comprising the bone, W, wealth, enterprise, in

OF the greatest meetings, and may produce a

which were advocated in Congress. by Messrs.
Clay, Webster, CAss, Foote, Dickinson, and
Others. This movement, begun as It is with

Ety, ss well as with any amount OF money at com

way, the election which viii take place next week,
and give new and better direction to the policy of
the two old parties, that have seen corrupted du-

and parsons who have turned politicians.
In any light in which this movement is viewed,

The SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DrsTRIcr.-Bo,h
parties in this district at work, the democrats
having selected John Cochrane, and the wings re-
nominating James Brooks, as candidates for Con-
gress. We are much in doubt about the-e nomina-
tons. II is stated that Mr.. Cochrane is a free
soiler. II this is true IL is curious enough. Free
sellers are getting more and more scarce, in this
State, every day. Now, il Mr.. Cochrane is Of the
free soil stamp, we shall oppose him with all the
force in our power, because the time has come TO
place barriers around the constitution. We must
know who is true TO the country as a whole, be-
fore we can consent to risk the weight of feather
towards electing virtual enemy Of the consitu.
ton and Union.
As to the other candidate, James Brooks, much
may be said. We know more Of him than we do
Of John Cochrsne. We have his history, and are
not perplexed about his general character and ht.
ness for Congress. During the last session his
conduct was pretty good-but it is said that he
bolted on the final vote for the Fugitive Slave bill,
though he was faithful in his acts against the Cal
phin cabinet The great difficulty with James
Brooks is this, He is the editor Of the Erprsss,
and while protesting the utmost friendship for the
rights Of the South, and a strong devotion to the
constitution and the laws of the Union, in that
ticket, wholesale and retail, the success of which
would make the renewal Of the slavery agitation
tenfold more destructive than II ever has been
within the last twenty years. There is political
duplicty in such conduct-duphcity so transparent
as to be insult to the perceptions Of the people
Of the Sixth Congressional district, who are op-
posed tv ,he Seward sbolitionists, and who will
not be disposed to admire James Brooks, as he lie
etraddle the fence, one leg dangling on one side,
and the other on the other, ready to jump into the
House Of Representatives either way. Really,
we mus, send committee to the Sixth district, to
bore for ws,er truth, or fact, and thus be relieved
from the doubts and difficulties which embsrrass
our judgment. Cochrsne and Brooks viii please
to explain, distinctly, clearly, and unequvocally,
what they do mesn-if they mean saything at all,
more than, II they can, to he elected. Let both
come sut ''unanchingly.S
