Immense Democratic Meeting in New York.
The largest Democratic meeting ever teld in New
York City came off on Wednesday night last Over
! twelve hundred merchants and leading men Of the
City Joined in the call for it. and it is estimated that
from fifty to seventy'fve thousand persons were out
on the occasion. The Democracy, the bone and
sinew, were there By acres. Speeches we're made
by MIR. Hunter of Va, Mr.. Preston, of Ky., MIR.
Churchwell, of Tenn, Mr.. Toucey, of Conn.,, and
others. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The
following resolutions were adopted:
"Resolre That the thrtyv electoral votes of the En-
pre- state OF belong to- and ought be- must be
cast for the candidates Of the National for
President aud Vice President of the United States lanes
Buchanan and John e. Brecknrdge and that we

with a similar minority
eotced That the of the Democratic partv is at

racy makes to the calm Judgment OF The American people
appeal behalf OF the Unon-ot civil religious lib
ery for alland Of safe and experienced men, guided by
sound principles and guaranteed by long fidelity for
our puolic servants"
The table is at last turning in the free States rap
idly and gloriously, for the Constitution and the
Union. The Democrats of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
New York are all now confident of carrying the Eec-
toral votes of those States In Pennsylvania, the
Democrats have to meet Fillmore and Fremont in
open and notorious fusion-but we verify believe
they will carry the State next Tuesday If they
should fail, however, it will not affect the result in
November. James Buchanan is stronger, by 20, 900
votes, in Pennsylvania than any combination that
can be formed against him.
Another Great Meeting in New York.
Another great Democratic meeting held in
Wall Street, New York, on Thursday night. e.. In
stead of four five thousand" says the News "as
at the black Republican assemblage, half of which
were true national men, at least thirty thousand
of our best and most substantial merchants me-
chancs and artisans were on the ground, proudly
proclaming their adherence to and love for the
Union" The meeting was addressed by Gov. Floyd,
of Va, and others. The following resolutions,
among Others were adopted:
Reced That the Government cannot be carried on up
any idea of the neriory of portion of the Com
tedercy to the other; and that parties
on sectional basis which must inevitably divide the I'm
ION by geographical lines and array one part OF the
try against the other, fundamentally hostile the whole
spirit of the Constitution of the United States,
fraternal attachment which is its life blood.
ReSoced That the election Of President by half of
these States arayed against the other question purely
sectional, would be triumph of might right and
exercise Of mere numerical strength faught imminent
danger to the peace and safety of glorious Union.
HesoceQ That the issue in the present election not
whether any other Territory shall be free or
slave State but whether the people of each Territory shall
decide and establish for themselves their organic laws
by which they shall be formed into State equal in sove-
reign to the original parties in the Federal compact"
Observation-Disclosures the fusion in
this State between the Fillmore and Fremont men,
we have strong hopes of victory the l4th in
slant, and feel sure of the Electoral vote of the
State for James Buchanan. The Harrisburg Key
stone gives the following cheering account:
"CHEERING PRosPECrs.-Our State agated as
deeply it is at present. by past political struggle 1t
is made the battle ground of the campaign. Here the dis
phles their papers. Every township is canvassed, and
their lying, nsdious publications thrown into every
dwelling 1t is the October election that these
traordinary efforts made
But they have overdone their work. Their agitation
aroused the onheared Democracy and their reasonable

conflict The Democratic meetings numer-

ters We shall The ground lost by the know moth

in both October and November will show their
devotion to its integrity and to the constitution in letter
and spirit"
