Great Meeting in New York.

We give the following condensation Of the
remarks made by one Of the speakers:
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
| Mozart Hall !" wing Of the Democratic party
of New York was held on Thursday evening,
to ratify the nominations ofthe party leaders.
Mr.. Chatilell, in the course Of his rcmarks.
observed:
This meeting to night. tl.is room filled to
i,s utmost capacity with the lraamen Of their
country, ad,norish Inc that as yet these peo-
pie hayr no; forgotten that they have right to
guard and interest to protect, and that they
live under Constitution, and are under ohe-
dience TO laws formed under TINT Constitu-
tion. Thank God, gentlemen, we have set q
country to care for. We have yet Cnnsti
tuition that is the supreme law Of the lard.
:
believe that Jet. although the aspect Of
things is dirk enough, the principles Of that
party will bring this country out Of ts peril.
| am not prepared to say that they will res
tore this country to it's prosperous condition
before these troubles began; because am
not 80 blind as not 10 see that the terlnina
tion of uur present difficulty may be that our
country may be left PROSTATE, loaded with
debt, and desoate with the death Of our loved
ones who have gone to the wars to protect us.
AN rot Aere to inquire into the causes Of
:Jis war. huve tue satisfaction OF knowing
tia. the great party TO which | belong has
never bpou abolltionssin its sentiments.
Ln@e the satisfaction Of knowing that NO
ole OF that great family has ever thought
more Of the black man thun the white man.
None'ui rs. gentlemen, not one, is respon-
sibe for the utter.nce and predominance OF
those sentiments which lie at the foundation
Of this great secession movement.
kuow that during the campaign Of las;
fall, in this spot, and elsewhere all over the
country, We admoashed Those who have pre-,
:iptsled this country into its present perils
that, If they carried into effect the principles
that we're uttered at Chicago, civil war must
necessarily follow. But the spirit OF abo!l-
tiunisin seemed to prevail. They. said to u.s.
. Oh, they dare not fight" And gang OF
Men paradcd these streets night after night,
preceded hr ,orclirs; they were called " Wide
Awakes." In nanswer to these adroni!ions OF
the Democratic PARTY they said to US, Z" what
If they do fight ?" "We can whip the South
befnr. the breakfast bell, and all creation al
Ter dinner" Gentlemen, where are these
"Wide .Awakes" now Go search your
army. Go to Cue van of that army. Go to
the situations most exposed aud most dan
;crcus. 20 To- the nayy--and you will search
in vain for any Of those ralorous Wide
Awukcs.'
l d. not say 1his bY way Of Encouragement
If the war is necessary, and it is now upon
us, III Gods name let Us prosecute il. III
strad Of that what is the spectacle " haI
will bc the history Of the next six mouths :?
We will commence with the glorious victory
OF Bethrl, from there we will so to Vienna.
aud from there tu Bull Run, thence 10 Chick
anna ,omaco. aud from there to the last place,
the natus OF which l don't remember, and
there YOU will iiud all these splendid victories
that not only will make US renowned at home,
nut Renowned abroad.
What did hear to-day as coming from the
commandments Of the United States Tor
ces-frnm Cen Mcclellan That hc dare
not fight On the Potomac. So that we shall
have no u,orc battles, trust, tl!:S fall. We
have nov got in the field son.e tisc hundred
thousand men, who have congregated about
Washington and vicinity, and this array has
to be supported at an expense OF two millions
and half day, and yet We are to have no
battles this fall. Why2 Because the COM
mander.in chici said he dare not fight. Now,
gentlemen, what is tie English Of all this {
Why, That this country will, iu tie fret place,
be placed under heavier load Of debt than
any couAuy on the face of the earth. Ans'
in the uext place, gentlemen, there IS nothing
mere sure in my mind-tbe SUI is not more
cerlaiu 70 rise to-morrow-tbap that tue IN
dependence aud nationality Of the Confede-
rate States of America will be recognized by
England and Franc and other Europeon ma
tons in less than Elk months.
