The meeting Of the Park last night
was ninerouslv attended aud it went
,tl most harmouo,1sly. The ticket
selected TO head the Independent
party, is composed Of very good and
capable men. and If chosen will do
honor TO their constituents and to the
city, but confess that my doubts Of
their success, are stronger than my
predictions either way. The under
ground movement by the "know
Noihings.' absorbs good deal Of
speculation, and the Courier and True
Delta both take each almost an ent .
column TO dissipste their fears Of the
hing. The Courier. snarls and lazhes
away At the poor ",neonuus' at u
terrible rate, calling it by all sorts of
names, aud finally winds up by the
ronsoling remark that they Che

Delta has given long exposure q |
,f the society, itssigns, Sword and
secret machinery, generally but Icsn
assure you that they have been most
bsmboozled thereupou.--
The association call themselves Know
Noihings, but If any red-radical sup.
poses that the members thereof are
know nothings, they are rs
much mistaken as it is possible for
hem to be. Official corruption in
