Popular Opinion In Favor OF the Admission
OF Kansas-The Two Late Meetings.

On Tuesday evening last large meeting was
held in Mozart Hall, in this city, in favor of the
speedy settlement of the Kansas question by its
admission into the Union as State under the
Lecompton constitution. Last night another
larger and more important meeting was held at
Tammany Hall, when, by an unmistakeable ex-
preston of the popular voice, it was demanded
that the Kansas imbroglio should be at once
brought to an end by the admission of that Ter
ritory into the Union, and leaving all the re-
sponsibility of settling whatever difficulties
exist there to the people Of Kansas themselves.
who will be clothed with full power to do so the
moment she becomes State of this Union.
In the political history of New York she
never witnessed any demonstrations more i'm
pressive or more emphatic than on these two
occasions There was a great Assem-.
blage of people present at each; men,
too, Of all elasses-sober, calm, business
men, as well as those who usually compose
great political assemblages. AT the Tammany
Hall meeting last night letters were read from
the members of the Cabinet, and speeches we're
made by Hon. John A. Dix, Hon. r. NJ. McLane
Mr.. John Van Buren,, Hon. John Cochrane
and others, in favor of the settlement of this
Kansas nuisance by the only short and direct
mode in which il can be settled--the admission
Of Kansas as a State under the Lecompton con-
stitution. The sentiments of both letters
and speeches were calm. business-like and firm
declaring. in simple, common sense way that
this mischievous Kansas agitation should be put
a stop to, and the country be permitted to at
tend TO it, proper business: that the whole
question should be excluded from Congress and
Kansas be LEFT to settle her own troubles.
These two meetings may be taken az fair ex-
preston of the opinion of the metropolis
A short time ago another meeting for the
purpose of protesting against the settlement of
the Kansas question, and keeping the country
still longer in turmoil, was attempted TO be
got up at the Academy Of Music, but il failed.
A second attempt was made few nights after
at the Chinese Assembly Rooms, and that failed
also. These meetings were originated by set
of discontented Office beggars headed by the
Reverend George Bancroft and few others of
less note. Having failed twice il is doubtful
whether they will ever get up meeting now.
But az II is but fair that there should be an
expression of opinion on both sides of the ques.
ton, we would ask the black republicans and
Know Nothings Of this city where are they?
Why don't they say something at this impor-
tant crisis If the country is in such des
perate condition as their journals are telling us
every day, why don't they show themselves!
Are they afraid Of the immense prepondcrauce
of public opinion in favor of the admission of
Kansas at once! Or are they afraid that if
they came out il would show the weakness
of the opposition to that measure?
