FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT


N September 2, 1883.
There peoples meeting last night at the Cooper
Institute The people however consisted of about three
four hundred very obscure and seedy looking indiyd
uals whom it is fair suppose that at least half at
tended from pure curiosity and without the remotes in
terest in the ''unon of the opposition movement aud
still less in the reforms which proposed to discuss
The Express whose editor Sr. Brooks signed the CALL
but not there when called himself is of opinion that
the meeting sufficiently imposing in numbers
spectacle in character, and calculated to make ''de-
cided impression in the proper direction, There
but two speakers Mr. VIM. NJ Evarts of this city and
Mr. Broome from Philadelphia. Mr.. Hoxie better
known Joe Hoxie made few remarks expressive of
his surprise ut what the audience could want of him,
and nothing in the proceedings which ustes the
presumption that his surprise satisfactorily abated
The Express says that the asscmblagc composed
for the most part of Hsha,g This is said rather

tory remarks explanatory of the object of the meeting
which, being than usually fogy and obscure failed
to attain their object. Mr.. Eyarts made rambling,
prosy and essentially stupid speech in which the democ

his American feow-citzens" warmly commended

Haskin meeting at Tarrytown, great a fzze in the
shape of demonstration has not taken place in this
city since the anti Lecompton meeting at the Academy
of Music which did not come off, and for which the hon
orable and reverend exSecreary of the Navy, exdemo
GRAFT and present compiler of history, Bancroft tried his
voice in the morning, and printed the speech he would
have uttered if he could. y
One good result is likely to flow from the meeting last
night and from the proposed fusion. The German
pubicans, of whom there great many in different
parts the State and In Pennsylvania and Ohio will be
thoroughly Disguised with the who have sold their
interests to the knownothngs by consenting that for
egners becoming citizens by naturalization shall be
prohibited from voting for year after they have
become citizens Here, in this city, know that
the effect produced by this dodge of the fusionists
has alienated vast humber of good Germans who
admit that the slavery cry is a humbugra rank inn
posture and that the black republican politicians
a mass Of knayes.
Governor King after the seed is stolen has resolved
lock the stable door, and has announced his resolution
with of hgh-soundng phrases which, had
they written Thursday morning would probably
have prevented the commission Of great crime; but
which now after all the damage is DONE are simple
bombast or something worse.
Everything is quiet in the neighborhood of quaran-

That evening paper published in this city which,
beyond all its republican contemporaries in the Union
has deservedy earned the reputation of being the
most INSCRIPTIONS, the most false and most dcspica
be publishes article this evening in which 1t insults
the intellect and outrages the decency of its few readers
by endeavoring to show that the Utah 'prc-
editated attempt to rob the treasury and to enrich the
personal and political friends OF the Secretary OF War
BY parcel Of statements of the utter falsehood of
which the writer of tho article is firmly convinced all
sort Of corruption Is charged against the Secretary and
he Is accused of enrchng his personal and political friends
in q which nobody but the stupid blockhead
who writes for the said evening paper could be stupid
enough to devise. Secretary Floyd, the nation admits,
from Maine to Texas, saved the Union long and
wasting in Utah by the use Of his foresight,
wisdom, energy and administrative talent. Were he
to have followed the advice of timd councillors or
to have needed the suggestions of false rends--were
he to have paid any attention to opposition clamor
and party clap trap, and not pursued, AZ no did,
steadily and persisently the which sound judy
ent dictated and the exgenoes Of the demanded
the country would be now plunged in demoraixng and
dangerous conflict with Of its dependencies rebel
lion in its most revolving from would be rampant within
our limits and we should have to lament not merely the
loss of treasure but the waste of human life to meal
cuabe extent As it is rebellion has been clectually
crushed flnaticism of the most ldeous and impi-
Gus character has been annihated, and the power
of the federal government has been made to tr-
umph with prompttude and force which com
mand the respect and admiration of every honest and
well-reguIated mind 1t is the brilliancy of Secre-
ary Floyds that makes him the object Of tho
attacks Of all the unscrupuous organs of selfish
seconalism and tho worry venom and base fasehood of
those attacks which render the support of all true patriots
