THE PARTY THAT FREED
The colored citizens OF New-York assembled
in mass-meeting at Cooper Union last night, and
served notice upon the Democratic party that IL
need hope for 10 desertons from the ranks OF
the rejecting and self-respecting negro voters OF
this city, II Mr. Croker had been at that great
meeting. he would have been filed with regret
and disquiet that ne was foolish enough TO sup
pose that he could hoodwnk the colored electors
with the tafy" plank which he ordered put into
the Democratic platform at Saratoga-and that
respected veteran, General Sickles. would have
wished, had he been present. that he had nov
gone so far out of his way, when presiding az
the Tammany Convention last week TO undertake
q fruitless effort to befog the black men OF the
city and lead them away from their Republican
allegiance. II any other Democrat happened to be
there he would have been ready 10 admit that
the Job Of "corrallng" the colored vote was too
much for his party
Mr.. Fassett has addressed many magnificent
audiences this fall, but it is doubtful whether
he has seen one more enthusiastic, more inteln-
gent or more intensely patriotic. Notwithstand-
ing the inclement weather, the great hall was
crowded to the outer doors, and the aisles corri-
dors and every inch Of standing space was illed
with fervent Republicans. Mr.. Fassett, escorted
by the Rev. Dr. William b. Derrick and the Com
mittee Of Arrangements, and accompanied py
John w Vrooman. General James w. Hustled and
Nathaniel Mckay arrived promptly at p. M
and was greeted in way which he is not likely
to forget to his dying day The audience was
not all colored, by any means. Many white men
mingled with the citizens who formed the body
of the meeting. and there was also large num-
her Of women present Never did an orator,
honored, respected, loved, face more symps"
thetic assembage
