The Democracy DivlaeA Ageiass

II Il reported that the wsr wing Of the deme-
cratic party will hold mass meeting next
week. az sort Of setof to tho peace meeting
as The Cooper Institute last Wednesday. Gene
raj Thomas Francis Meagher was said TO be
connected with the affair; but he has most
decidedly declined the honor. John Van Bu-
rem, James T. Brady, Judge Daily and Miss
Dickinson are now mentioned a. the managers
Of the meeting. which will probably be held at
the Academy Of Music, We sincerely hope
that the directors of the Academy will inter-
pose no objection They were once charged
with refusing to let Miss Dickinson speak there
but this turned out to be . mistake and the
charge was Withdrawn. There is no good
reason, 80 far ~ ws know, why the Academy
should not be engaged for this occasion. 1t will
be literally paid for, as the war democrats are
backed by the royal or loyal Leagues. 1t will
hold crowd, and. the meeting is sure to be
immense. The exhibition will certainly be
very amusing and very instructive. We have
no doubt that the audience will be orderly; for,
by strange paradox, the war democrats are
exceedingly peaceable fellows, while the peace
democra& are inclined to muscular develop
ments Let them have the Academy Of Music,
then. by ell means.
z, Whenever or wherever the meeting may be
held John Van Buren, will make ono Of his
funniest speeches. Van Barren has allowed his
wit to lie dormant of late. He declined to ap-
pear at the Loyal heague Conventions ct Utica,
and has been busying himself, we understand,
with real estate operations at Undertook. But
upon this occasion the political Yorick will dis
play bis brightest powers James T. Brady
will deliver one of his sweetest speeches. and
discourse melliHuously about the ladies and
about the negroes. male and female, and about
many other favorite and interesting topics.
Judge DAILY may be relied upon for the law and
gospel Of the meeting, and will furnish the hard
bread "to all this sack" We are not informed
whether the Miss Dickinson who will be pre-
sent Is Miss Ann Dickinson or Miss Dan Dickin-
son--the Miss Dickinson in petticoats or The
Miss Dickinson in trOwsers. If the former, she
will probably attempt to stir up another "insur-
rection in He'll" and will indulge in little vi
superaton of General Mcclellan, who appears
to be as popular with our fighting volunteers as
~ j
clans. If, on the other hand. Miss Dan Dickin-
son is to be the orator Of the occasion; the au-
! dience may expect very long speech. spiced
with numerous scriptural quotations, and
We are sure that all parties will be disappoint-
ed if this speaker Omits to reoite that couplet,
which he has immortalized by numerous repeti-
tons, and which is quite apropos of the aboli
ton forebodings in regard to the coming Pres
tidential election
No rogue e'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion OF the law
The object of the meeting may be readily
surmised from this list Of the speakers. 1t is to
put down peace and Fernando Wood, and 60
in for fat contracts and s.war. war, war to the
bitter end, rs Mayor Opdyke phrased it in his
speech ct the banquet to the returned regiments
on Monday evening. The Albany Regency.
will be behind the scenes at the Academy pull
ing the wires Of the meeting. The peace por-
ton of the democracy has shown q disposition
to read the Regency out Of the party, and the
members Of the Regency will not easily
relinquish the reins of power which they have
held 80 long and used 80 advantageously to
themselves and 80 dissstrously to the demo-
cracy. If Tammany Hall follows the Regency,
we shall have what Sir Lucius O'Trigger would
call very pretty quarrel, and it requires no pro.
phetic ken to see the end Of it. The railroad
magnates of the Regency will probably push
matters to exIremities, as they did at the
Charleston Contention, and the democracy will
again be divided against ITSELF Whether this
is or is not to be so this mass meeting will de-
termine, and we await its revelations with
curious, il not anxious, interest In the mean
time the republicans have only to practice the
virtue of patience. If they will but keep per-
fectly cool and lie very low, they will doubtless
have the satisfaction of seeing the democratic
party destroy itself in the neatest and most sx-
peditious manner. It does not need the en-
phatc assurance of Holy Writ to convince us
that house or a party divided against itself
cannot stand. The recent elections in the
New England States, whore the peace and war
factions Of the democracy were very rampant
against each other. teaches MS the same sad
lesson. The Regency is resolved to rule OF
ruin. and all that the republicans have to do is
to wait until their enemies divide aud then walk
in and conquer.
