was that which took place last evening at the
Cooper Institute. to ratfy the Union electoral
ticket. The vast hall was crammed to suffocation,
and the adjoining streets and avenues were crowd
ed with the overflow. Meetings organized,
and speeches made outside as well as inside of the
nall: The principal meeting was presided over by
the Hon. John A. Dix, and addressed by the clair
man, by Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden, James w. Gerard,
Charles o'ConOr, Hiram Walbridge, James Brooks
and others. One of the outside meetings was ad-
dressed by the Hon. John Cochrane. Mr.. Gerard,
while denOuucing aboitiOnists, confessed that he
would not declare himself in favor of slavery in the
abstract, but that he would Tomorrow if the
southern States consented. and if he knew what to
do with them, emancpate every African slave
AS to Lincoln, Mr.. Gerard said, that if he looked
like his picture he would split rail BY looking at
it. "Let Abraham" said he, Gas lawyer, split
hairs: a backwoodSman, split rails; but | pro-
test against him trying bis hand as a President in
splitting the Union" He appealed to all patriots
to vote against Lincoln, and trust to Providence
for President. Mr.. 0'Conor declared that the
question for the American people was: "Shall this
great and glorious Union cease with 1861, or shall
1t be perpetuated forever?' 1t was not to be be-
lieved, he said, that the people of the South would
submit peacefully to subjugation, and necessa-
ry consequence, this Union must be dissolved, a
line must be drawn between the North and the
South, and that glorious Union formed in '76 must
perish in 81. The report of the committe ap-
pointed at the Union meeting held at the Cooper
Institute on the l7th of September was adopted,
anu the names therein presented as electors were
ratified. The proceedings were harmonious and
enthusiastic. The Tribune admits that the meet
ing was large and enthusiastic.

ANOTHER MARINE MYSTERY NEAR NEW

lOhh-SUl1OSED MURD
On Monday the Coroner of Jersey City held an
inquest over the body of man found floating in
the East River, which was identified that of Cap
tain Kelly, of the schooner Catharine Margaret
of West Farms, New York. The Tribune says:
On Sunday forenoon, Sept 30, the Catharine
Margaret was discovered lying at anchor about a
hundred yards from the HOboken Ferry, loaded
with brick with her signal light burning, and the
vessel in sinking condition. Several persons
went out in small boats to render assistance, and,
on arriving at the vessel found no person on board
In the cabin was found piece of fresh beef some
potatoes, cabbages and other food, and bottle of
gin. These articles had apparently been brought
on board very recently The vessel towed on
to the flats, where she shortly after sunk. Since
that time the friends of the captain have been on
the lookout to ascertain the of his mysterious
disappearance, without success, until the finding OF
his body on Sunday. Justice Whitley of HObOken,
viewed the body, and it is stated, without taking
any evidence gave permission to the friends to re-
move 1T to Westchester county. A young man,
named VIM. Hooper, was the only. person en-
poyed on board the schooner, and he, together
with the yawlboat, have been missing since the
sinking of the vessel.
About IL o'clock on the night of the Goth of Sep
tember, the night before the schooner found in
a sinking state, two young men, belonging to the
yacht Zinga, discovered yawl-boat floating down
the river, and, upon rowing out to it, saw man
in it with his head over one side of the boat, appa
rently intoxicated. His general appearance an
swered somewhat to the description of Hooper, who
hair, small black whiskers, and black eyes. The
men at the time supposed hi to be a colOred man,
but could not be positive account of the dark
ness. Capt. Keys face was considerably eaten
away, but several marks were discovered upon the
head, and particularly a severe cut over the left
eye.
Upon the above facts becoming known, a number
of the citizens of Hoboken dissatisfied with the
manner in which Justice Whitley had disposed of
the case and accordingly notified Coroner Gatfney
in order that Thorough investigation might be had.
After hearing some evidence, the Coroner ad-
journed the for a further hearing. His theory
is, that drunken fracas may have occurred be
tween Hooper and Capt. Kelly, which may have
resulted in the death of the latter.
