Democratic Meeting.
The democratic republican general commit
tee met agreeable to the published call, q,
Stuyvesan institute last evening.
A full attendance of the committee was pre-
sent; also Hon. John Wheeler, Hon. Francis
B. Cutting, Hon. Mike Walsh, and Hon
Thomas J. Barr were among the number.
Hon. Francis B. Cutting addressed the
meeting at length. His effort was most happy
and enthusiastic, and the repeated rounds o.
applause with which he was greeted attested
the high satisfaction with which he was listened
to by the committee. His speech was soundly
democratic throughout, and of such charac
ter as would have startled the traitors to the
democratic cause, could any of them have been
there and heard him. We regret that oul
| limits will not admit of more extended notice
of his excellent speech. The following resolu
tons were read and adopted, amid great enthu
siasm: .s

York, true to the principles of the democratic
party, promulgated in the resolutions of the
Baltimore convention of 1852, and the inaugural
address Of President Pierce invincible in the in

principles-the same which elected Franklin
Pierce to the Presidency-through this, their reg
