I'm Friday evening The Mirror styles it 'the
iinitatory step towards making the Walker-Niea-
Irsgua question a Democratic element in the APP
lproaching Presidential campaign, and the Gour-
Ter says that '.the aspect of the asscmblage was
that suggested by the Empire Club in its palmy
days. There were azfew present, however. who
were evidently among new associates-thCy had
probably been attracted by the high-sounding

too common practice in this respects and as one

pit of the Bowery Tileartrc.' Capt Isaiah
Ryus 81 was the great gunOf the meeting. He

10 the friends Of Nicaragua aud Republican
Freedom:
think may, with the utmost degree ofcon-
Ifidence, assure YOU that the recognition by our
Government of that of Nicaragua, is now set
tiled fact, and that the day is not far distant
when the cOlors Of the Republic Of the Give

Capt Rynder's speech was the gem of the
evening.
Cen Walker he said, had his deepest sympa-
thy and highest respect lie had gone to Mica
!ragua and remained there, and acted there, be-
cause he had been desired to do so by the pclp!e
ofNicaragua. 4 Applause.l Thegent!eman who
preceded him had spoken of an unwrittcn law.
! lie begged to differ with him slightly concerning
that law. 1t was true it was not written on
parchment, but it was written in blood in the
heart of every true American. [Greatapplause. ]
And all the Mimic rifles made by the mechanics
of Great Britain could not shed blood enough to
erase it. [aipAip hurrah.l
The Captain, ntinuing)-Democratic PTin-
ciplcs would, he was sure, be established in Mic
aragua, and then the citizens could stand up and
say he was man. [Cheers 1t had been said
that Gen. Walker was tilliDustcr. Now who
was it that was the loudest in making that
charge against him. It was England. And
what was England? Why the foremost hllibus-
ter of all nations. [Applause.l Where did she
get her possessions! She says she acquired
them. Where did she get them?
Captain Rynder-If you call stealing brave
ry,' then it was by bravery. But if that Is your
definition of the term, advise the man who is
standing next to you to look out for his pocket.
[Applause.l
The Captain continucl-I would not willingly
say u wrong word of any country. The Eng
list were brave people, and he liked them for
it But Gen. Walker was not fihnSter in the
true sense of the term lie was in Nicaragua
a citizen of that country, and called by the peo-
pile to aid them in establishing Republican gov
icrnment Gen. Walker was Republican by
nature, and he undertook the cause. Applause. ]
&c such conduct as that was tiliibuStcring, then
write him down filiibustcr. APPLAUSE The
conduct of our Government in the matter bad
been called in question. At one time he was
disposed to believe the Government was wrong
but since then he had heard the words of dis
tinguishcd Judge, to the effect that our Govern
ment held high and distinguished position
among the nations of the earth, and therefore it
Il
sad thing for such Government to commit an
act of bad fifth lie would not decide whether
it was right or not; he did not pretend to under
stand all Governments.

arc no gentleman or you would not interrupt the
meeting
Captain Rynders-I am for freedom of speech
and If that gentleman has anything to say, let
him come up upon the platform and say it like
a man.
There were a few feeble cheers in response.
Still another voice-"Threc groans for Marcy"
And three awful groans came up from the very
stomachs Of the audience.
Aud yet another voice, "Its a ID shame;
we don't want any papists here, The groaneFs
ought be put out"
One of the groaners cried a loud, who'll put
us omt:"
One of the former Voices answered and said
"Wc'll show you.
y groancr responded, ''Try it on, hubby
Several voiccs-"Go in--pitch into them
hustle them OUT
And they did go in. All the timid men jump
cd upon the platform and tables, put their cow
hides irrcvercntly upon the reporters notes, and
crowded the Captain for protection, while he
looked on coolly and calmly upon the turmoil
below. The Captain had witnessed many worse
conflicts IN OLD Iammahy' ana was noI uiSil'"!

After the fight Rynders continued amid va
rious Interruptions, concluding with thiscxprcs-
sivc sentence:
''Gcntemcn, it is most annoying thing
when a man is endeavoring to express his ideas
to have an impudent fellow on the right, and a
jackass on the LEFT, interrupting-and the com
mittec on Invitations either pulling his coat tails
or trying to pick his pockets,-he'd be ID if
