The meeting Of the organized Democratic
Assoc iation, in opposition to the Know Moth
ings, was held this afternoon at Carusi's Sa-
loon, agreeab'y to adjournment on Wednes
day night. The hall was crowded to over
flowing, and there was a large number out
side.
Messrs. Florence and Carrigan, of Pnila-
delpha, and Stanton Of Kentucky, addressed
the meeting, and there was no disturbance
beyond the usual Interruptions of such pro-
miscuous gatherings. The theme of each
speaker was laudation of the Democratic
party and bitter denuncation Of the Wings
and Know Nothings. 1t was apparent from
the first that the audience was three-fourths
composed Of opponents to the stated objects
of the meeting, and the fact was demonstra-

The meeting was addressed by Capt. Cut

Washington, whose remarks were received
with much enthusiasm. There appeared TO

and the favorable auspices which seemed to
smile upon it. The great number Of Gov
eminent employees present and appointed as
off GERS, gave 1t the appearance OF being an
Administration movement, and contributed
much to It's defeat.

FAlLURE OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS -
The Albany Argus, the ablest Democratic
journal IN Now York, m recent article
upon the Nationill Administration, holds
the following peril ent llngulge;
Certain It is hat this result Of less

In every State IN which Democratic Con-
ventions have consented to adopt the ordln-

Democratic masses are every day repudat-

.4nneraiion Of The Sdnd,cich Islands The
Albany evening Journal, on what It consid-
ers the best of authority, reaflirns the state
neut that there Is now treaty for the an
nexltion of the Sandwich Islands to this
country at Washington, awaiting the action
Of the U. 5. Government, and gives the fol
LOVING as substantially the terms Of the trea-
ty;
1.-THE Islards are to be at once admitted
INTO the Union, no, as Territory, but as a
Snie-wlth full State sovereign powers
In consideration If this surrender of their
national soverei gnty, the United states, be-
sides agreeing to respect all existing char
tiers land titles, &c. are to pay some $780,
600 or $40c, 900 annually as life annultles
TO such persons as the sovereign authorities
shall designate. II IS believed that the mum
Der who will be declared entitled to share ia
this annuity, will not exceed thirty lndlvidu-
ais, including the King, his two sons, end the
members of tine House of Mobiles, ali OF
whom are now rich, and constitute the great
landholders of the kingdom. Their ages
will average about 40 years, and tho sum
to be paid to each will cease to be ii debt
upon the United States Government at their
death.
Besides the sovereignty of the Islands, all
the Government property build
ings, claims upon foreign Governments, &c.
will, it is understood, be transferred to the
u. $. Government by this treaty. The val
ne of these buildings alone is said to exceed
Sl,50J.O0O, and the claims upon the French
and British Governments to about $500, 900
more making an aggregate OF about 81,
