New YORK, July Is.
Notwithstanding the intense heat there was
an immense gathering of loyal citizens this af-
ternoon--one fully equal to April last year just
after the fall of Fort Sumter. There were five
stands for speakers, and several presiding Off
GERS, viz: Mayor Opdyke, Pelutiah Perit,.
Hon. Hamilton Fish, Prof. Lieber, and Genl
Fremont. Among the speakers were Rev. X.
5. Storrs, Rev. Rufus w. Clark Rev. Samuel
Osgood, and Rev. Francis Vinton, and the pre-
siding officers Of the several meetings. All of
the speakers vehemently favored the uphold
ing of the government in all its war measures
until the last armed rebel surrenders. The en-
thusasm among the massas was very strong
and every allusion to the President or any of
our Generals in the field, were vehemently
chcered, as also deprecatory illusions to for
eign interference in our troubles.
The address adopted is couched in patriotic
terms, stating that the war is purely defensive
OF what we received from our fathers; that it
is for the Union and the Constitution: that the
rebellion is causeless; that republican form
of government is our preference; that we are
contendng for the integrity of our country
ization, for our commerce, our arts, and our
schools; that all we have should be given to
our country in its hour of trial, and if there be
man among us not feeling thus he should
leave us; that we are willing to make sacrifice
to sustain the government only asking the
government TO Use our resources quickly, Wig
orously and wisely; that the nation is in no
mood for trifling; it complains only of delays,
vacillation, weakness; and wishes its strength
to be reused that not vestige of revolt shall
remain. The address declares that if any for
eign government attempts interference with
our affairs, it must be repelled with that firm
ness and spirit becoming the American people
If there's anything about which we are agreed
it is our traditional policy that will not inter-
fere with the affairs of other nations. nor allow
other nations to interfere with ours; to the
maintainance of this policy the nation is unan-
imous.
1t concludes as follows: As the rebellion and
the possibility of foreign interference make it
necessary that the whole loyal people should
be banded together for the defence of all we
hold most dear, we pledge ourselves to each
other, to Congress, and the President, that
with all our resources we will support the gov
ernment in the prosecution of this war with
our utmost possible vigor, until the rebellion
is overcome and its leaders brought to merited
punishment
The resolutions are II in number and the
last one recommends that the city government
offer bounty of s25 to all residents enlisting
within 30 days in any regiment now in the
field. At 6 O'Clock, when the crowd seemed
the densest, a violent shower came up. and the
meeting was summarily dismissed. All offices
and wholesale houses were closed in the after
noon, as also were many of the retail stores
The number present was variously estimated
at from $4,000 to 100000.
