There was a grand mass meeting in New
York. on Monday evening, under ths auspices
Of the Democratic Uuion Association, to cele-
ate the triumph Of Democracy or Abolition
ism The attendance was immense, and the
enthusiasm boundless. Speeches were msde by
John Van Buren,, Fernando Wood, james
Brooks, and others. We subjoin an abstract OF
the remarks Of Mr. Van Buren,
We are assembled here tonight to exchange
congratulations over the glorious victory that
has been achieved in the State of New York,
and unquesiionsby there never was an occasion
vh,n the people Of this State, Withou. dis
tinciioa Of party had more reason to be salts
fed with the result they have accomplished.
You viii bear in mind that the party which is
successful ia this election was defeated in the
Lass election, only last year, by majority of
one hundred sai fye thousand. II was an ap-
mailing majority to encounter; it was dis
e0uraging majority to attempt to overcome ;
and. extraordinary IS had been the results in
other States of the Union, gratifying as were
the victories achieved in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indisus, twas left for the people of the
State of New York to accomplish result far
moro extraordinary, when properly regarded,
than any achieved ia any ether State in the
Union. Applause Aud if this was remark
able throughout the Slate, it was most remark
ssls OF al ia the county Of New York, the
county of Kings, and the county of Richmond
You VIII besr in mind what the odds were we had
! had 70 encounter here. We had in the ftst place
an immense amount Of money expended IN the
elsction-contrset0rs who were deeply interested
I ia contracts that were to be enriched by the
prosecution Of the war. We had an army Of Of
! ics-boders of the general gOvernment-more
/ than = th0usandi in the custom h0use-more than
4 two thousand ia tho navy yard, and officers Of
/ The State government at the quarantine, and
/ officers Of The police at the City Hall, Dumber
/ ing thousands of men, constituting a corps who,
uader ordinary circumstances, would have been
/ irresistible against the untrainned, undisci-
pliued, unpaid people who there had to eneoun-
/ Ter them at the polls Bat, fellow citizens, this
police power was not only numerically used,
/ but Il was dishonesty used for the purpose of
! keeping the friends Of Seymour from the polls
and terrifying them to prevent them from de-
posting their suff5sges. Under those extrsOr-
binary circumstances the city of New York
gave the unparalleled majority Of fhirty-one
/ thousand eight hundred for HoTsiio Seymour.
! Three cheers. Not this alone, but the coun-
! tv of Kings, ia which resides much Of the
! wealth. eQtise1 hgdiubt U.S. AA WuiNu - ADuA1
! the navy yard, gave majority of soma six or
seven thousand for the ticket headed by Hora-
sio Seymour. Cheers. The littlo county oi
r chnond, small il territory, but great IN heart
/ rave in q vote of soma three or four thousand,
a rnsiority of twelve hundred and ffty against
the quarantine and the customs, which could
slone furnish nearly the vote that was given for
James S. Wsdsworth. Applause. Now, un
der those circumstances, we have right %
congratulate ourselves at the extraordinary re
subs produced By the friends Of Seymour at the
polls And, Ow-eitzens, it is but fair to ad
nit that we had the assistance here whieh oul
friends over the State did not have. James s
WsdsWorth. the candidate of the republicans
made two speeches here, but spoke nowhere
lelse. IfAhe had gone through the State the ma
ioyity would have beea appalling LGreat ap
lplause
A voice-Where is James s Wsdsworth
Mr. Van Barren. l don't know. In racing
phrase he is nowhere. Great laughter. Mr.
Tremaine, the candidate for lieutenant governor
was kind enough not only to speak here, but t.
sneak in Kings county, and the gratifying re
saIt in the couaty of Kings, may be in some de-
gree aseribed to his efforts. But it is quite right
as the gentleman who preceded me states, t
oive credit to the association who occupy thes'
rooms. and who started the campaign which ha
resulted so gloTousiy for those associated unde
shs banner Of Mr. Seymour in this campaign
There is everything in an election in starting
light, and the great meeting at the Cooper In
stitate, which was inaagurated by the Demo
cratic Union Association, who lease these rooms
and who have invited this ssssmblsge tonight
was one of the most remsrksble gatherings 0
people Of all political parties, intent only upoi
aveIting the common danger and using the bes
exersions they were capable Of to rescue th
country, that was ever seen in the history of an
political or partisan contest
+ James Brooks here assembled the platform, an
was greeted with three cheers.
: Mr Van Barren That's my congressman
{ TLaughar He was the ifst whig ever vete
B Tor, aud / think he will be tbelast. Leughter.
e From that great meeting at the Cooper Iastitut
I went forward spirit which, knowing no party
looking only to the country, devoted itself {
displaeng the mea in power, and bringing int
authority in this State, SO far as it was able, ms
{ who were determined 70 administer the goverI
4 nleut according to the constitution of the Stat
{ and Of the United States, and to respect existn

Z cilizars The result was accomplished, and
Z may fairly be ascribed, as have already state'
