solved upon resistance, sink or swim. After
hot fight in committee, on tn action Of Mr.. Isaac
v. Fowler, our free soil Buffalo platform Post
master, the meeting burned in tn midst of q
small row. Nothing came of it. 1t ended in an
explosion and pass of in smok
The next NOV m mt was by tn, D mocratic

calling public democratic neeting O. a this pro-
gramme for the 10th The proposition
was advocated by nTmbcr Of the lead
ing members; but a furious and terrible
opposition sprang up among the free
sellers Of the Scarlet letter order. John
Van Baren made>ro less than fo'lr sharp, crisp,
canstac and whitening speeches against Douglas
his trimming for the Presiden cy, and his bill of
denominations; and one Luci as Robinson made
two three speeches s. con- ling the Prince to the
handle. After this violent. and fiery debate, and
terrible scene of demo cratic wrath and ex-
ctement, the resolutions in favor of the Nebras-
ka bill, in favor Of Douglas, in favor of the ad-
BILL ana in favor Of public Tammany Hall
meeting upon this programme, were carried by
large majority, as We have already shown.
| 70 arms! democrats, to arms!
A public meeting in Tammany Hall has been
arranged accordingly, to come off on the 18th
Instant; and on this important occasion, as we
! have stated Judge Douglas and other distin-
.euished advocates of the bill from Congress, are
1 10 be present, to illuminate the democracy upon
the negro question, the Nebraska bill, and the
constitution of the United States. 1t is believed
hat the meeting will be mighty gathering of
''the unterrifed"-that it will place in line
again the rank and file of the true democracy of
this democratic citadel of the North, and that
it will result in driving out Of the "happy ia
mily," and back again to their dens, all thu
abolitionists and free sellers of all parties, all
factions, all stripes, all complcxions-Lloy
Garrison, W. H. Seward, Lucy Stone, Fred.
Douglass, the Rev. Mrs. Antoinette l.. Brown,
all the Van Burens, all the Dixes and all of the
| Scarlet order. That is what they ey-
pect to do. Democrats, wake up!-for Gods
sake, wake up-tor the day of action is at hand
On the other side, John Van Buren, is pluck
to the backbone. He not only possesses pluck,
but that indomitable energy, activity and perse-
verancc which never quail in the presence of the,
enemy, though there may be superior force
in front and certain destruction in the rear
The Prince is game to the chine Asintimated, he
has therefore arranged his plans for anticipating
the Nebraska meeting day OF two in grand
anti-Nebraska democratic meeting of outsiders
on the 14th or 10Th inst; and at this assemblage
John Van Buren,, John A. Dix, John Cochrane,
(who has been GI Washington, and has probably
in his breeches pocket fresh Scarlet letter of
sympathy and support from the White House,
and host of others of the free sell Buffalo
party, are to eypound to the people the abom-
nations of the Nebraska bill, and the treachery
of Douglas Cass, and other Presidential can
didates anxious for chance in 1856, as they
did in lS4S against the Nebraska bill of that
day. Democrats, rouse yourselves! for the
enemy is in the field
These forthcoming democratic movements in
this mighty metropolis, (the headquarters Of
half the commerce of the globe and of al the
continental democracy are important and sig
nifcant in the highest degree. The Doug
las-Nebraska meeting on the 10th, and the
anti-Douglas arlet-letter-democratc-
anti-Nebraska meeting ON the 14th or 18th, |
mean something Of tremendous import to |
the universal democracy the administration, |
the party, manifest destiny" and for Union |
or disunion. Those two or three days will |
probably decide the immediate question, and |
shape out the destinies of the President the |
Cabinet, the democracy, the succession, and the
fate of this prodigious republic, for the next |
twenty-five years. Yes, yes! negotiations have
ended in Europe We see there the grand pre-
liminaries commenced for such an earthquake
as that old Continent has never felt before, not
even in all the laundering career of Napoleon.
And here, too we are in for moral and politi-
cal agitation which will shake this Union as
with the throes of an earthquake. We are in
for it. Democrats, wake up-wake up! and
spring to the rescue!
Thus far we have had no decisive popular move
ment among the democracy upon this Nebraska
question. We have had several tame assembages
of an anti-Nebraska abolition stripe in the Ia
bernacle, some scattered meetings of mixed
character in New England and the West; but
Congress, the Cabinet, and the country. are
waiting for the thunders of Tammany Hall
We should not be surprised if Old Tammany
on the 10th were to effect mighty democratic
coup d'ftat in the expulsion of the whole pack
of the Buffalo free sellers from the party, great
and small and in recalling again to the ancient
wgwam the late discarded hard shells of the
Stuyvesant Institute, in full feather, head and
tail up, drums beating and colors flying. We
cannot imagine any other issue to the meeting
of the 10th. We are in the midst of mighty
revolution. Let Old Tammany be heard. Let
her speak! The Union and the constitution
forever!
