Hon. w. P. MAyGuM.

We copy from the New York papers the subjoin-
ed Address and Resolutions, as adopted at Mass
Meeting of the friends of Mr.. FILLMORE, held in
the city of New York on Monday evening.
All accounts agree in representing the gathering,
in doors and out of doors, for there were two or
ganizations) to have been large and spirited pre-
sentng, as the Courier and Enquirer remarks, " an
occasion of interest and satisfaction to all the con-
sentative portion of the Wing party The speeches
were able, and were not only marked with true
Wing stamp, but were pervaded throughout with
genuine a-subduing patriotism. The meeting
was evidently under the influence of high and
strong national sentiment that set at nought every
sectional consideration. Its views were enlarged,
and its disposition was liberal and coHciliatoryo
The principal speakers were Hon. HUMPHREY
MARSHALL, of Kentucky, Hon. MEREDITH p.
GENTRY, of Tennessee, and Hon. JAMES Brooks,
of New York. 1t is not improbable that we shall
be able hereafter to place before our readers at
least portion of the discussion.
