The Buffalo Commercial advertiser, OF
May 18th, is filled with a grsphic and
glowing account of the great Union Meet
ing which took place in that city, on the
9th, composed principally of the citi-
zens of Erie County, without distinction
of party. There were probably ten thou
sand persons present. st. James Hall,
spacious building, was crowded to over
flowing, and thousands were unable to
gain admittance. .A 49,
The meeting was called to order, at g
O'Clock, by Albert Sawin, late Wing
District Attorney, who read the call for
the meeting, and announced that the
masses had got together to give expires
sion to the sentiment of Erie County, in
opposition to the policy of the present
Federal Administration. He named for
President of the meeting, Joseph String
ham, Democratic Republican. :.
Mr.. Stringham, on taking the Chair,
spoke in concise and eloquent manner
Of the necessity forced upon all good cit
liens by the Federal Administration, to
combine against sectional and Cypress
i've policy. This movement was designed
to initiate such a combination, and its
success depended greatly upon the degree
of respect and federation which men will
show towards each other in matters oil
minor importance upon which they enter
tain difference Of opinion.
Mr.. Philip Dorsheimer, late Democra.
tic Postmaster, then took the stand, and
nominated long list of Vice Presidents,
one from each ward in the city, and one
from each town in the County.
Amongst the Vice Presidents were
| George R. Babcock, Ex' Wing Senator
If. P. Stevens, Elk Democratic Mayor
Orlando Allen, Elk Wing Assemblyman
and Elan R. Jewett, publisher OF the
Commercial Advertiser. -.-t.-..
A number of Secretaries were thel
nominated.
The President, after announcing tn
object ofthe meeting, which was to ad
vocate the formation of Great Nationa
/ Conservative Union Party. in opposition
to the present Administration and moderr
Democracy, introduced Mr.. Haven, FL
Wing Congressman, who was receives
with immense applause. The hall at tn
time was densely packed to the very door
Mr.. Haven ably reviewed the histor.
of the Kansas Nebraska Bill, which, b
said, he had, when in Congress, opposed
but the principles of which, and the cours
. Of the Administration. had really been tn
occasion of this meeting. He was happ,
to say that the meeting had attracted at
tention not only in the County for whie
, it was specially called, not only in tn
State of New York. but in all the thirty
two States of the Union.
A number of other influential gentle
, men spoke. all advocating the same con

slower pace than the urgency of the case,

he quickened his pace into gallop,
