The magnificent uprising Of the people and
the nobly-oyal speeches of the most popular
men Of the Democratic party last evening, at
the great mass meeting in and about the
Cooper Institute, will fall with cutting weight
upon armed Rebels of the South az well rs
upon sympathisng Copperheads in the North.
New-Y0rk has seen no meeting of such inten-
sity OF feeling since the memorable day in
Union Square. Though earnest and telling
speeches were made by DR.. Hitchcock and
David Dudley Field, yet the most effective
blows were struck by James T. Brady
Judge DAILY, and EJobn Van Buren,
men whose great popularity with the Demo.
cratic party entities their opinions to be taken
as those Of a very large mass of their fellow
Democrats. Mr.. Brady declared that he was
ready to be called Yankee if the Rebels in
sisted upon it, and, after quoting remark Of
Gen. Shields that wherever the Yankee To-
Gated a blacksmith shop, tavern, or q

cede from it, he went on 10 advise his
Southern brethren that if these Yankees,

arms into the hands Of the negroes and put up
their long feet on the tables Of the estates of
which they took possession, he did not want

those who wanted to see the Rebellion prosper.

by the tOrpor of our main army for two months
