nom IN Canal street at 81 O'Clock last evening for
the purpose of making arrangements for giving Gen.
Walker public reception in this city. The room
that occupied by Marshal Rynderss Empire Club, and
was Numbered with the e1uvis of the campaign. The
walls were covered with Buck and Breck banners,
most Of them containing illusions to THE TRIBUNE,
evidently not intended to be complimentary.
Hcraio y. Wild called the meeting to order. and
Elijah F. Purdy was elected Chairman. Mr.. Purdy.
or taking the chair, proud TO be fllibuser; he
wanted to extend the great blessings Of civil and el
cious Eber-y. He wanted to give their gallant leader
a splendid reception, such reception a. New-fork
alone could give.
Mr. Fogarty proposed tue following officers, and they
were elected:
T,ee. Prerdcnt-Dr. George y. Osborn. tn. Hon. A. A
Tharp..n OF The DaGy Ner. Ward B. Burne; Horso
S.ss ByD c,m Hl.isi Edasid Cooper
Mr. Purdy then introduced that champion of lib
erty and thai eloquent young gentleman. Mr.. Blank
mann"
Mr. BankmaIn said, that if to aid people under
the yoke Of tyranny was to be a ilibuster, he
fllbuser lie maintained the doctrine of giving lib
ertv TO every people Loud applause. Even early
as 1850 he sympathized with those unfortunate men
who went 10 Cuba Mr.. Blaukmaun i a very young
gentleman. The small numbers of their meeting
could well be accounted for they AL knew the ncem
Qt
had not been published in THE TRIurNE. But they
were enough to set the ball in motion which should
give 20 the President of Nicaragua generous recep
ton as he had received in New-Oreans. lie would
leave the matter 10 other gentlemen.
Can't Creighton said that he knew what Gen. Wal
ker had to contend against. tie was the only man Of
the Captains acquaintance who could have composed
tie ius Iedeuts which were sent down T. mar. The
same motive that actuated Lafayette and Montgomery
actuated him. No single human intelligence living
could achieve what he had done. He had had To con-
tend agains, troops superior in numbers and better
disciplncd. Only the future historian would do jus
tice 10 the gigantic intellect of VIM. Walker. The
L, nders Grrnadiers of which he was the captain
would turn out in full force, and give welcome as
was welcome to him.
Andrew jackson Plumb said that he was well ac
quanted with Walker lie went 10 Nicaragua at the
invitation of Mr. L. Rivas when Nicaragua was lu
brcated with internecne blood and the Black
Republican press was down on him; but they showed
no -crupulOsity when the demagogue OF Hungary came
10 This country. VIM Walker was a great genius
ard humanitarian. The Republican party denounced
Wm. Walker because they said he was going to es-
abl,h Slavery; they Lad no night to anticipate that
he went to establish liberty. Ii he Andrew Jack
son Plumb had had his health, he would have
been fbuster. Mr.. Plumbs health appears TO be
excellent. They would welcome VIM. Walker as the
mother did her plodigason.' He would go back,
and supported by their applause, their appr9bation
and their PRAYER, he would keep Nicaragua. Flibus-
ter was an honorable name, fibuster meant fighting
for liberty and in fighting for liberty they fought Tor

Judge 30, ce Of California, said that he for lib
eltv in the scre and yellow leaf CommotlOn among
the Little boys, who for the lack OF shoes, could not

| Malcolm Campbell was the next speaker lie de-
Tended the course at Cen Walker. He had been in
yed 10 Nicaragua by the Democratic party of Mica
Isgua that they might have the benefit of his coun-
ses and of his strong arm. He mOdestly caused him
to take the second place in the Government, Ne. But
be- was not long allowed 10 carry out his pure and high
minded designs Mr.. c. told the story of the soldier
~ tott hpl he d
get bottle of brandy, and was shot for 1t at the COM
mand Of Walker But he had learned from Gen
IIenniugsen that the greatest fault OF Gen. Walker
was his leuiency, and that this man was a deserter
sent by the combined forces with money in his pockets
to seduce Walkers troops. The time for Walkers
history to be written had not yet arrived. future
century would appreciate him and ms principles;
which were those Of the Revolutionary fathers. AL
though this meeting was 20 small, sull Il was not
intended that il should be mass meeting. They all
knew that when Gen. Walker came, and went TO the
Park to receive the congratulations OF the people,
there would be such a crowd there probably as had
not been seen there within the last fifty years.
Mr.. Campbell read hong series OF resolutions, &c.
complimentary and inytatory-in the style of the
speeches except hat thele was not so much huInOr
about them.
The resolutions unanimously apopted
