Mr. WATTS SHERMAN called the meeting to ORDER and re-
minded them of the objects they had in view. Mr. Sher
spoke coquently of the motives which had actuated
the gentlemen who met at the Everett House. and dis
ncy proclaimed that their object consult together
and together democrats who wished well to the
party and its regular organization, and believed them
selves to be faithful and honest part Of that organza
ton. He therefore referred to the good taste of any
individuals present who were, perhaps not members Of
democratic party whether they had not better with
draw from the meeting he distinctly understood that
there anagonism to Tammany Hall in the
bage butt that the object Of all would be to cooperate
with Tanmany Hall upon proper basis. All, continued
Mr. Sherman, had become habituated to COM
plants Of oppression, injustice and corruption; but
if gentlemen permitted themselves TO remain inactive and
apahec the midst of such evils what right had they
complaint What did they do 10 heal and prevent the
from which the party suffered If democrats who
are business content themselves with signing and
groanng the of things which they lament and
with decision and energy the ruin Of the party
was inevitable The Everett House Committee were
WINGED that there should be united movement to innu
ence Tammany Hall the part Of those who did not go
the primaries. we act instead of talking at dinner
tables shall effect objects; not must bear all
that comes upon u.s. and shall deserve fate We can
if we WILL secure the nomination and election Of proper
men, and we ought TO do so.
Mr. ArGrRSox s. JARvm then moved that Mr.. Sherman

ment and Of sound financial policy in the State admin
istration.
William H. Seward of "irrepressibe conflict" between
the North and tho South which must end in the con-
quest subjugaon Of Of them, as the demonstra
ton Of practical and dsoyal spirit, which should be
promptly rebuked and resisted by every good citizen who
loves his country and desires perpetuaon Of the union
Resolved, That believing as we do tina. the dominance
Of the principles Of true and honest democratic party
city, State and nation s essential to the and
prosperity of the country, we have wtneessed with re-
greet the neglect Of many well known democrats to take
any part the control Of the party organization or in the
nominations to Offices great trust and importance in the
municipal and State governments that the time has arrived
when their duty longer be neglected; therefore,
Resolved, That twenty five gentlemen be appointed by
the members Of the committee who called this meeting,
TO confer with our fellow for the purpose Of
curing the selection Of candidates Office who shall be
entitled by their reputation and standing in the communi
y capable and honest men and democrats to receive
the cordial support of the whole party and of all those
who believe in the necessity of careful and wise admit
| nistrati0n Of our city finances.
The Hon. JOHN COCHRASE then rose and addressed the
meeting considerable length, showing forth the nds
pensabe necessity Of action the part Of the moneyed
classes in such should prove to the working
of the democratic party that the sympathy of those
who held the purse strings their hands not wanting
to them. Mr. Cochranc commended that the period at
which have arrived is which should arouse every
true patriot and every good citizen that the theory pro-
| pounded by Mr.. Seward at Rochester was one which
would entail ruin upon the country permitted to be car
red into practice and that the endorsement by the people
of this State such political heresics would be
grave calamity to the Union at large. He urged that a
heavy weight of responsibility rested upon the financial
portion Of the democratic party and expressed the firm
conviction that the unwngness Of Tammany Hall to do
right would be easily corrected the very moment that the
intelligent and influential portion Of the democratic party
! did its duty.
