''ResolSed That as citizens Of the State Of New
York, and dwelling In city enriched by the for
eign aud domestic commerce Of the country and
as the friends OF agrcul.ure and all the industrial
pursuits of the State and Nation, we have a deep
and enduring interest in the speedy enlargement
of the Erie canal, and in the prompt and faithful
execution of the law passed at the last session Of
the Legislature to secure that object. We owe tho
carly completion OF This work to the surrounding
competitions of trade-to the present necessities and
the future welfare o. the State-to the many mil
lions OF dollars which were expended in the en-
largement of the Erie canal, and in the construc-
ton of the Black River and Genesee canals, mil
lions, part of which were exhausted by oppo-
nents in paynentof damages to their own contrae-
tors, and without, as yet, any practical benefit 10
the State.
"Resoivsd, That we present to our fclow-ciii-
zens the names Of Cornelius v. Anderson for Re-
gster, OF Alexander w. Bradford for Surrogate
of Frederick A. Tamadge for Recorder, of 81
neon Draper for Governor of the Almshousc, and
Of Jacob l.. Dodge for Commissioner of Streets and
Lamps, as men who have been tried and found
faithful servants Of high public trusts, men of ex-
pcrence and ability, whose proved qualifications
and fitness for the positions they now hold give
the amplest evidence that they viii in time to
honorably discharge every duty assigned to them
by the laws OF the State, which may be expected
OF them by their fellow citizens.

Whg judicial Convcntion--James g. King, jr., for

Common Pleas-are men of ability and integrity,
whose continuance upon, or elevation to- the bench
oil their respective courts would insure wise and
faithful administration OF the laws.
"Resoiued, finally, That the Wing party-ef the
city OF New York, with an eye single to the public
good, with unchanged faith in their principles,
with confidence in their candidates, and with the
hope and expectation of victory, will. with one
heart and one purpose, stand by the Wing cause,
as the cause of truth and justice, and by the men
whom they have selected their standard bearers
in battle, and as the defenders of their faith.''
The reading Of these resolutions frequently
interrupted by applause, which showed how well
when completed, they were adopted with the
greatest enthusiasm, and without one dissenting
voice They go forth to the country as the fun
and explicit declaration of the platform upon which
the Wings OF the city of New York are planted.
The ausion to the patriotic services of Henry Clay
was warmly responded TO, giving renewed cvi-
dence of the lasting hold which that great states
man has upon the hearts OF our people.
General Mnther first addressed the meeting. He
spoke OF the Importance Of the present contest in
it's ultimate results with reference to the pros Nerity
OF the State and the prospects of the Whig party in
the Presidential election of 1852. He alluded in
just and forcible terms to the form lton of mon
grel ticket, the effect of which, il successful, would
be to give the Democrats, who are hostile to the
canal enlargement, majority in the canal board;
and exposed the false pretence that that ticket
composed altogether with view to ssthe safety
Of the Union" The platform of the Whig party
was broad, conservative, and national; it was a
Union and the Compromise could stand with con-
iidence. He put himself upon that, expected to
stand by 1t, tight on 1t, and conquer on 1t. Such,
he hoped, would be the resolution of each and every
loyal Wing. Let them 60 into the contest with
that determination, and come out Off with long,
loud shout of victory
Mr. Spencer followed with stirring address, in
which he referred to the present Administration rs
unequivocal proof that the Whg party
truly conservative of the Union and the Constitu-
ton His mention Of President fillmore, and ''he
block of New Hampshire granite''-Daniel Web
ster-elicitcd tremendous applause
Excellent speeches were made by several other
gentlemen, and the meeting adjourned at late
hour, every man breathing spirit of determine
ton TO work earnestly for thorough Whig tri-
urnph. The harmony and enthusiasm which pre-
vailed were truly cheering. and VIC have the best
to be assured that SO far this city is
cerned, the election of Tuesday next will afford
such a result we shall be proud to announce.

telligence of the same character. The great Wing
party of New York united and enthusiastic.
They must succeed.
