THE CONFUSIONISTS AND THE TAILORS.
We are informed by some of the German tailors
of Wiliamsburgh that they were assured that the
Meeting on Wednesday evening should be Tailors
meeting, and not political meeting The night before
a circular was sent round among them warning them
that the Democracy intended to make political meet
ing of it, and they WERE in consequence, prepared to
check any attempt bring in politics The first speaker
who attempted TO advocate Democracy, was immedi.
ately put down by cries of "humbug." They kept
their places in order to prevent the Democrats from
coming in and organizing meeting which they would
claim tailors' meeting. After the meeting, and
while they standing for this purpose, the Union
boys principally Irish came in and formed hollow
square about three deep. They cheered for Fusion,
and few of the tailors also, while most of them
cbeered for Wall and Lincoln whereupon the Ulion
boys charged them with their clubs, and after con-
siderable CONTEXT cleared them out. They then organ
lied Union meeting, but soon squad of Police
cond be obtained they were driven out in turn. The
tailors then held an indignation meeting ia the Hall.
The Turner'S very much incensed at this proceed
ing OF the lrshmen and were only dissuaded from rep
gals by the strenuous efforts of the leading Republican,
The fight pretty brik for time, and some of the
Union boys 30 roughly handled that they sought
safety by jumping out of the Windows 1t is sufficient
that this outrageous attack will add al least 800 10 the
vote for Honest Abe on Tuesday.
