Pursuant to adjournment, a meeting of the ‘* Na- tional Democrats” was held last evening at the ball of the Franklin Fire Company, at which there were present between fifty and sixty per- sons, among whom we noticed as spectators Councilman Edmonston, of the Fourth Ward; J. | RK (jae-n, ex-Intendant of the Asylum; W. H. Hop, Geo. Spencer, bailiff of the criminal court, and siso a number of young men from the Third and Fourth Wards, whe, if they came to see fun, | were disappointed, as the meeting passed cff quite mildly. Mr. W. E. Pe'tibone cajled the meeting to order, and moved that Mr. J. F. Ennfe take the ebatr. Mr. J F. Haliday (ex-Collector) was appoint- ed secretary. The Chair stated the meeting to be of the na- tional democrats and opponents of abolitionism of the Second Ward, to elect delegates to meetin convention to nominate a candidate for the may- orality, and to select candidates for Alderman and Common Councilmen. Mr. J. E. Jillard moved the appointment of a committee to nominate delegates to the meeting, and Messrs Jillard. Sim’l Lewis and Pat’k Jor- dsn were nominated. The committee reported the names of Nich. Callan, @. W. Barry, W. P. Drury, W.E Petti- bone and John F. Ennis, who were chosen dele- gates to the convention. The committee sug- gested in their report that as soon as delegates shall be chosen In the other wards the convention be called to meet in the ball of the Franklin Fire Company: accepted. Nominations being In order for Aldermen and Common Councilmen, Mr. L. F. Clark nominated Thos J. Fisher; and the nomination was unan!mously carried. Mr. 8. Lewis nominated N.

The Voice —'A Becond Ward man called for 8 division ” Mr. Powell stated that be did not wish to be in anybody's way. He bad served three years in the Council a! iy, and everybody there knew his course. Mr. Clark sug, that, to avoid difficulty, the balance of the ticket be voted by ballot Mr. Haliday said the upper portion of the ward should be re; ited, snd named asa suitable candidate from that section Mr. Michael Green, who was weil fitted for the position. Mr. T. Brown nominated L. F. Clark. Mr. Clark said be had no aspiration for the porition. He would prefer to stay at home, but if bis fellow-citizens saw fit to send him to the Connell, be would go cheerfully. Mr. Patrick Jor nominated George W. Stewart. A Voice —* Will he accept?” Mr. Clark thought that Mr. 8. would serve. Mr. Haliday stated that last year Mr. Stewart had positively refused. Mr. Eanis was nominated. Mr. Ennis asked to be excused, stating that — bad already chosen a representative trom his section of the ward. His heart and soul were in the contest, whatever might be the result, but he did not wish to be a candidate Mr. Clark said if Mr. E. declined he would have to follow bis example The meeting proceeded te ballot, with the fol- lowing result : Grafton Powell, it vo’es; John F. Ennis, 12 votes; L. F. Clark, 9 votes; Michael Green, 5 votes. The Chair declared Mr. T. J. Fisher the nomi- nee for Alderman, and Messrs. N. Callan, @. a and John F. Ennis for Common Coun- cilmen Mr. Powell, after returning bis thanks for the honor, stated that he had been falsely accused of beiag a secessionist. He was opposed to the re- bel ton, and hoped that Mr. Lincoln would put it down so effectually that we never hive enother attempt to dissolve the ion. He was opposed to the abolition of slavery in the States or District, unless by the consent of the a, end merge wae mwas made for the im- mediate e ion of the blacks. He was in an every man’s child, but he the little word white before it. He wished it distinctly understood that he was a Union man all over. {Appiowe) Nota Bens. —With considerable pride we call the attention of the gentleman who threatened to ““swat the Ster man over the head’”’ If we under- took to poke fom at the meeting, to our above re- port, as about the genteel thing.

And be it further resolved, That we will sup- port noone for municipal office who will not subscribe to and endorse those ever memorable words of the immortal Webster—‘‘Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable.”’ The Chair hoped the resolutions would pass without a diseenting voice. He cheerfully and fully endorsed all tue resolutions except that one referring to Mayor Wallacn, which he could not endorse in part. His objection was the many re- movals of good men from office. He merely stated this to place himself right with the public. But be wou!d assent to the resolutions and give his cheerful support, nevertheless. Mr_ Gulick cbjected to tbe endorsement of the Administration. The meeting had been called irrespective of party, and be thought the en- joreement of the Administration would make it political affair; for the endorsement of Presi- dent Lincoln was the endorsement of a party. Mr. French explained that the resolution as originally offered in committee was much fonger, but all had been struck out except the endorse- ment of the President’s war policy. He ho) there was not one whe would not endorse that. For bimeelf he could endorse the whole of the resolution; but the impression appearing to be that this would make the meeting a party affair, be had stricken it out. [The part stricken out reads as follows: “And for the perpetuity of cur once glorious Union; and that we approve of the course of the Executive for the boid and independent stand taken by him Upon numerous occasions, and also for bis wise and judicious recommendations made to Congress from time to time.” —Rep } ‘The Chair understood the resolution offered as peel endorsing the war policy ef the Adminis- ition. Mr. Gulick said his own feelings personall: were in f.vor ach endorsement; but he want to conform as strictly as possibie to the call. If we intend to make a party affair of this, let us make it known at once Mr. Sargent ssid the call itself approved of the President's war policy. The Chair suggested that ths words of the call should be adopted; and offered the following as 8 substitute for the resolution offered by the com- mittee : Resolved, That, as citizens of the Fifth Ward, in meeting assembled, we cordially endorse the war policy of the Administration in putting down this infamous rebellion. baie eae was adopted with some slight op ion. ‘be committee reported the following nomina- natior For Alderman, Nathan Sergent; for Common Council, E.L Stevens, R. T. Knight, and W. M. Ellis. The following indiwidvai nominations were made: For Alderman, W. M. Ellis; for Common Council, C. J. Canfield, Albert Richards, andG F. Gulick. On counting the votes, the following gentle- men were declared the nominees: Mr N. Sar- gent. for Alderman; and Messrs. Ellis, Richards, and Gulick, for Common Council. Mr. B. F. Dyer was declared the nominee for Assessor. Mr. Elliot was dissatisfied with the nomina- tions. They were all, as usual, from the south endof the ward. The north had never hada tative; and be therefore moved a recon- ration of the vote whereby Mr. Ellis was nominated, #8 there was some doubt of the latter gentleman's running.

GREAT JUBILEE New Marxer, May 7.—The army to-day at noon fired a hundred guns in honor of the victory at Yorktown. The consolidated bands visited Gen- erals Banks, Williams and Hatcb, and played patriotic airs through the streets also. They vis- ited the camp of the Ira Harris cavalry also in honor of the gallant charge of yesterday. The details of that affair show that the rebel cavalry had a battery which they opened upon our men. The latter deployed, and waited until two of our guns hed been placed in position. The enemy’s battery was soon driven back; when the [ra Harris cavalry dashed on them with sabres and yells, driving them to the sub- urbe of the town. Our cavalry were commanded by Major Voight, of the 31 Battalion. Adjutant Hasbrouck, of the ira Harris Cavalry, 34 Battalion, was taken pris- oner by the enemy. The enemy’s force was 100 urs was less. The news of the victory at Williamsburg was received this afternoon and was read on dress parade in all the regiments. It was received with rapturous applause.
