8, besides large addition which made last night.
nctual to the hour appointed the members in at
dance, and much interest manifested in the pro-
dings there appeared to be general und erstandng
t some important movement would be initiated. 1t
in fact, pretty well known that the hards, throwing
rs whatever hesitation they had hitherto exhibited in
r of the administration, had determined to
le out openly and undsgaisedly against it. Every
sion that made to the humiliating and dsgraoefu
duct of Messrs Marcy, Guthrie Co., by Mr.. Brady,
received with marked apr obation, and unanimous
'rmination was expressed that no coalition on any
rnds pretences, should be made with the sefts, of
m the Secretary of State justly considered the
,odiment

sed him as follows:--
orabis position to which you have been unanimously
ted. This club, sir has been scarcely three weeks
ling and now already numbers over two hundred and
ardent and independent young democrats, who, hav-
signed the roll have only declared their intention
lpport the ticket headed Geo. W. Clinton, but have
ged themselves to maintain the time honored prnci
rds its integrity. Recognizing in you, sir, fearless
independent exponent Of those principles, they have
rdngly chosen you their standard bearer
this Mr.. BRADY replied as follows
I'M very grateful for the honor being elected to pre-
over this association. ! will abor diligently to pro-
the patriotic purposes for which it organized,
sincere hope that ere long its influence may be
the political affairs, not only Of our city and State,
Of the Union. Our little army enters the field at
interesting period Two organizations dispute for the
TO be known and respected as the democratic party
,w York; and it is feared that this contention may
&c temporary triumph for the whig party, which
divisions allege to be common foe. II this struggle
for the rewards, for the honors, of vic.
would be content to fall into the ranks with all
rally under the democratic Standard and let the
nand be taken and the distinctions enjoyed by those
were proved, who affected to be either more am.
us or more deserving. But we aim at higher and
II objects than power or treasure We contend for
,cratic principles which have always cherished,
which we neither adopted nor will repudiate from
sordid motives. We go forth to battle for those
ples, preferring honorable defeat to ignomnious
,ss and eternal obscurity as an honest and
full few, to any trophy or triumph secured
lutng association with treacherous allies. Zap

to which we have adhered with answering fidelity

enemies and the machinatione OF traitors. (Renew
plause) The maintenance of these sentiments in
full integrity--the preservation of the true demo-
faith free from the heresies of fanaticism or hy
y--ths is an object idfnitely more important than
le aspirations of all the leaders who did,
aspire for the control or favor of tho people. For
bject we will strive with unceasing and uncompro
& energy. And will tolerate no connexion, as
j no sympathy with men who whether combined
dercensry faction under stolen name, or arrayed
more imposing attitude of an administra ton, seek
Ike the dignity of the democratic doctrines Of tho
