preston on the Presidential question were intro.
duced into the Old Mems General Committee, at the
Broadway House, and, on being read, were referred
to a special Committee.
A special meeting Of the Young Mems Committee
was held in a small upper room OF the Broadway
House on the same evening, ERAsTUs Brooks pre-
siding. Fifty-seven out OF the 100 members OF the
Committee answered to their names at roll call,
many of the absent members supposing that no meet
ing would be held before Friday night. The Chair
man stated that at the request of five members OF the
Committee he had permitted special meeting to be
called. The members inquired the object OF the
meeting, when Mr. w. +. Jackson announced that he
had series of resolutions to offer, but gave way TO
Mr. Wadswort of the With Ward, who was desi-
rous of explaining the object Of the meeting which
he would do by reading preamble and two resou
tons on the Presidential question, and csmplimen-
tary to the patriotism pervadng the Administration
of President Fillmore which was compared TO that
of Washington, Jefferson and Madison MI. IT, W.
Thacher said the resolution referring to Dir. FIJI
more was not consistent with the preamble and hrs
resolution. What was the use OF endorsing MI Fil-
more at this time Every member Of the Co nmit:ee
was familiar with the acts of his Administration. -
He had no objection to the resolution declining
expression on the Presidential question, and con-
sidered it quite appropriate.
AS the resolution in reference to Mr. FILLMORE was
likely to lead emoitered debate, Mr. James H.
Welsh moved to strike 1t out. This motion wa
warmly discussed by several members OF the Com
miltee and met with great favor.
Mr. Nicholas Carroll said that the resolutions had
been submitted TO members OF the Committee of all
! shades OF opinion, and met with their entire ap
| prevail
Nh Charles Riddle said he was opposed to al Oh.
side dictation, and the introduction oil resolutions
indorsipg any particular section OF the Wing party
and saw no necessity for the submission OF the Ieso
lution in reference to Mr.. Flmore's Off ;al acts
He was not afraid to express his choice for the Pre-
sidency. 1t was Gen. WINFIELD Scorr, Inc hero Of
| Chippewa and hundred ba!tles-the choics OF a
majority ofthe Wings ofthe City of New-York.
Hon. William D. Greene Of the XVltlth Ward,
| did not consider the resolution in reference to M
| Fillmore as endorsing him as Presidential cAAai'
date He would not now express his choice for the
| Presidency The friends of HENRY CLAY poni
cheers at the mention OF mis- nams) could not forget
the course OF the friends OF Mr.. Webster IN 1914,
in defeating Mr.. Clay, and he would venture
| he would lose $4,000 votes in this State alone.
However If nominated, he would give his support to
! Mr. Webster and although. with many Wings, he
| oDposed military candidates, Gen. Scott, the hero
| NJ Chippewa and the Mexican War, would meet MS
cheerful support.
w. T. B. Milliken deemed II wrong pohcy TO eG'
dorse Ny Fillmore at this tlne-lt would only lead
to divisions and dissensions among Wings, aud re-
vive old qusrrels.
Mr. Wscsworth the mover OF the resolutions,
| soush, the unanimous consent of the Committee to
| withdraw the resolution In reference to MI FIJI
| more lie did not suppose it would meet win so
| much opposition. But as one or two Custom House
officers Objected to the withdrawal OF the RESOLUTIONS
| Mr. Welsh's resolution was put to vote, and ny
| Daniel Bowly, VINO had heretofore viewed the reso-
luton in dispute in different ligat, was now CON
| WINGED it was got up By the enemies of the Hon.
Daniel Webster the Wing Secretary of State, whose
friends were about to make public demonstration
In his behalf. He would oppose the resolution
Mr. Charles Riddle was astsnished to see the warm
support now extended TO Mr.. Webster BY the former
original friends and admirers of Henry Clay and foi
the life of him could NO, account for It, New YORK
| City was the last place in the world for MI DAME
Webster TO be Toasted he has been these last fe"
days.
Mr.. wadsworth hoped he would be permitted TO
withdraw his resolution in reference to MI Fill
