The Grant dem onasraiion n Cooper Insti-

Gran, vs. the mo-, significant political
event of the e non. All the New York pa
peper. of yesterday morning have editorial
comments. We .pPeLi lev extracts from
the leading journals, Of all parties, TO show
how the meeting is regarded from different
standpoin:s. The Times, slministrafien

Only needed an opportunity TO declare AIS eA'
tent and sincerity. That opportunity the

i, wa they Who performed the p' aliminar!
work in making The meeting the imposing
demonstration il was. Under ordinary cir
cums,anoes, such an occurrence, before any
nomination had been made, and before par
tisan feeling had been excited BY the pro-
eress OF canvass, would havelbeeI impoe-
sible. But the schemers OF the Cincinnati
movement, in their infatuation, have aroused
all the feelings that usually lie dormant till
.fterthe conventions, and last night will help
to reveal to them the fatal folly. The great
hall in Cooper Institute was filed and sur.
rounded by Republicans, who felt not only
that their party had been insulted, but that
the principles they held most dear, and the
objects they have sacrificed 30 much to al
tain, ere threatened by vindictive and treach'
erous assaults from within, and BY an effort
70 install tie Democratic party in power. -
The Herald, Independent, Gays: "Our re-
pcrt OF tie meeting will chow it was an a.
semblsge largely representing the inteiii'
eence, capital, business interests and substan'
tial citizens Of New York, that they fully
comprehend the good work for the city and
country achieved BY Gen. Grant az the head
Of the national Government, and that thu
speeche. and resolutions Of the meeting
speak the common Judgment of the country
IA far as made known in the recent State cleo
tions, and in conventions Of the Republican
marty. A meeting such rs this, in advance
of the nomination Of Presidential candidate
by either of the two great political parties, ]
an extraordinary event, but when revolution
ary disturbances are upon Us, our solid re
spousible citizens are quick to take the alarm
and come to the point in expression OF thei
!. Judgment on pablo men and public al
fairs"
. The Tribune, Liberal Republican, has III
following editorial comments:
. "Those citizens who desire the reelection
of Gen. Grant held meeting st Cooper In
stitute last night, and were addressed by abb
and eminent speakers. But unlike the llt
T eral Republicans, who made no special e1el
. ton, and gave their late meeting only tn
+ ordinary publicity, and incurred scarcel
. any expense about it. The Grant me
strained every nerve and exhausted all q
: vices for attracting attention to make thei
demonstration an overwhelming affair. The
did not, after all, get into the hall of the In
stitu.e as large an audience as that whic
spontaneously packed it las, Friday nigh
; to hear Senators Sumner and Schurz''
, The World, Democratic, in its editorl'
, article upon Tie meeting says: "The gree
meeting last evening was perhaps nearly
large, but certainly not larger, than the NEE
ing Of the Liberal Republicans last weeI
r but in political Significance there can be n
!, comparison between them. Nobody eve
| disputed that the majority Of the Republ'oa
| parry favors tie reelection Of Gen. Gran
OF course then, in = great city like thu
with the aid of Custom House, Postofic,
Internal Revenue Offices, and other Al
poin,ees Of the President, it is easy enoug
to get up public meeting; but such a NEE
ing shows nothing not known before; ifthet
placemen and hirelings had been absent, th
meeting would have had no life, and woul
, have been Insignificant in numbers"
