THE MONSTER MEEYING.

Tho people Of New York city yesterday ratified, tn
public convention, the popular movement which has
been universally made indefence Of tho Union and
constitution or the UsAted states. The tan5 Of
thousands who responded to the call Of the leaders
of the great conservative movement proved no

York. The united demonstration Of the Goth Of April
will live forever In the world history Since the foun
daton Of the republic by patriot sires there has
never been such gathering Of freenen, moved
by common impulse, as WAS seen in the
Empire City yesterday. Comparisons with pre-
popular d-plAya would only be odious, they
would be absurd The spirit OF the whole people was yes
