Sreamsnie Cateponia must have reached Bos- ton yesterday, She was thensixteen days out, and we may therefore confidently look for her news early this morning First Monster Meeting ef the New Repub - Means—Its singular Character and Preten - sions. The first Monster or Mass Meeting of the Nev Republicans—or Americans par excellence—-or Young Democracy—by all of which names they | are called—took place last night, in the upper re- | gious of Hudson street, in the Ninth Ward. It was one of the strongest assemblages of men that ever were seen collected together in New York. Every variety of human beings—every color of | politicians—all sorts of big boys and small dim mense shoals of respectable ns, appeared to have come together, by some powerful—some mys- | terious—some unique impulse. Yet with all this diversity of being, character, and pursuit, there seems to exist a perfect unanimity—a complete har- mony in their general purposes and object. They oppose the folly and corruptions of both parties, by | organizing a new one on the broadest basis of civil and religious liberty. They profess the utmost freedom of speech—discussion—revolution and ac- | tion. Itis not alone opposition to any particular clique of foreigners, or religionists that they make —but to cliques of all kinds, whether it be in poli- tics, in religion, or in society. This extraordinary movement, which developed itself in this metropolis at the last election, is the natural result of the corruptions of the age. It is| the breaking up of the great deep of wickedness. It is the effervesence of a spirit that has been held in chains for many years. It is the true tiers parti —the real third party, growing out of the gross | corruptions of the times, and drawing into a new | organization all the best elements of the two old | and rotten factions. Another remarkable feature in this new party, is their prudence, good sense, and practical views, com- | bined with eloquence, poetry, wit, and ent! :siasm, They do not seem to go too fast ahead—to launch into interminable speculations—or engage in use- less contests. In this city they are bending all their energies to one great practical purpose—to the de- feat of the two old factions in the next spring elec- tions—and the introduction of thorough reforms into the city government. On this point alone, large | masses of the people will go with them—and thus the growth, rapidity, and enthusiasm seem to give | them an assurance of an easy victory. In every point of view this new party is attract- | ing great attention, here and elsewhere. | Sentence of Mike Walsh—Attempt to Shoot himself—Attempt to Drown himself. | Mixe Watsu, who was receatly tried, convicted, and sentenced to two months imprisonment in the penitentiary fora libel on Jacob Southard, cooper, | of Washington market, was yesterday taken to | the penitentiary at Blackwell’s Island, to serve out | said sentence. During his stay in the city prison, since the day of sentence, application has been made to Judge Bronson, of the Supreme Court, for a stay of judgment in order to carry the case to a | higher court, which was refused, and also to the Governor of the State for a respite of the sentence, until the proceedings could be reviewed, which was also refused. At about one 1 o’clock yesterday, Mike was in- formed that a carriage was ready to convey him to Blackwell’s Island, and that Deputy Keepers Purdy | and Carlisie would accompany him. He said he | was ready, and left his cell in their company. His wife met him in the office of the keeper, and he called her towards him to take a parting interview, | when he put his hand in one of his pockets, and | whole vast assemblage. | of them put together, could give. | {that’s right;) it means to undermine the cliques both of | Our watchmen, lamplighters, and even our aldermen, are | then re: The Great Monster Meeting of Ame the friends and supporters of General Jackson.

Mr. W. is a young man of energy and talent, and was amongst the first of the genuine “young de- mocracy” who set the ball in motion in the Ninth Ward. He was received with great applause, and ““ Who know their rights, and knowing dare maintain them.” It seeks their suffrages by the means only which reason and morality suggest and sanction. (Great applause.) To no bacchanalian feasts do we invite you. Not with the poisoned wine-cup,do we court your aid. We come to you with that great charter of liberty—the Declaration otindeneniiense- aa our hands,and we ask you as men and as citizens—as intelligent and accountable beings—to come forward and take part in that great conflict which has now commenced, between corruption and fraud, and vice of every description onthe one hand, and patriotism, mo- rality, and virtue, on the other, (Tremendous applause, amid which Mr. Jones retired.) 5 Then there were loud calls for “Oakley”’—“De La Ree”—Hopper"—“De La Ree”—“Hopper.” The chairman called out in a stentorian yoice— “Order—gentlemen, order—you must keep order— and when the chair tells you to keep order, you must keep order.” This stilled the audience. The next thing in order was the reading of the articles of the Constitution of the New Association of the Ninth Ward, with the preamble and by- laws. These went dead against the present School Law—in favor of 21 years before naturalization— and none but American Republicans for office These were adopted unanimously. All who wish- ed to join were invited to walk up and sign their names. Again there were loud calls for ‘De La Ree,”— “Hopper’—*De La Ree”—-Hopper’-—and the chairman again ordered them tokeep order. ‘‘We are not going to have any disorder, and we will not have it, aetile Lam inthe chair.” This again pro- duced quiet. : fe A motion was then made to appoint a chairman pro tem., and also a secretary for the New Associa- tion, whose constitution had just been rend, in or- der that they might call a meeting and organize.

[Great applause] With such men, who have become disgusted with party, we must and will triumph. [Renewed cheers.) They are not only good men, but their principles are sacred. “One of the chief of them is that no foreigner shall hold office in this country. ‘The native son of the soil is the only eligi- ble candidate for any office.

If we are not mistaken he is a whole-souled teetotal temperance man, who is exceedingly popular in their ranks. He is a cartman, and will easily bring with him 2000 votes at the next charter election. Mr. Hopper proceedes Mx.

He then passed out without say- | ing a word, and took his seat in the carriage with Purdy and Carlisle in perfect silence. The car- | riage drove off, and he became apparently resigned to the judgment of the Court. A large concourse of persons had assembled at the prison entrance about the carriage, to s public demonstrations were exhibited of any feel- ing among them, except that of sympathy for his situation. On arriving at the ferry at the foot of Sixty-first street, Mike took his seat in the ferry boat with a dogged silence. The boat! was shoved off, containing keeper Fallon and several of his deputies, with ex-officer Sweet and others. The oarsmen had pulled her but a short distance from the wharf when Mike sud- denly rose, gave a spring and jumped into the river, evidendtly with an intention to drown himself. ‘The boat was instantly rowed towards him, and he was rescued by keeper Fallon and ex-officer Sweet. He was then safely landed on Blackwell’s Island and placed in charge of keeper Orser, who supplied him with a comfortable change of dress, and rendered him every comfort in his power. Mike appears to be perfectly desperate in his present situation, and it is probable that he may commit some act to rid himself of what he supposes to be the disgrace attached to his sentence, unless close- ly watched by the keepers who have him in charge. He says he will never leave the Island alive. Common Councrn.—At the meeting last evening Alderman Tillou said he should be prepared, in a few days, to present a full report on Police Reform, which we understand is most complete, and con tains much valuable information, and many excel- Jent suggestions. William Gage, Superintendent | of Streets, tendered his resignation, on the ground | that the Common Council would not make the pro- | per appropriations to allow him to perform the du- | ties of his office. It was not accepted. A number | of valuable public documents, most elegantly bound, were received asa present to the Corpora- tion, from the city of Paris, asa commencement of “National Literary Exchanges.” They were ¢ dered to be deposited in a room in the City Hall a neucleus for a City Library.

Gentlemen, I will not try to work upon your feel- ings with the old and worn out claptrap method of speak. ing of glorious constitutions, &e., fought for and won by the dearest blood of our ancestors. No, sir, I will not do ‘They fought as men should fight—not for bs oh See Derey nor ottice, nor tor ambition, tlemen, their souls soai above the sordid feelings of this world; they fought for liberty, they fought for their conntry, they fought for the rights of man as hewalks—not the slave of faction or party, but for man, the upright man, the image of his God—(ter- rific shouts of applause.) Gentlemen, it needs no humble individual panegy ric to speak of such men as these; we should approach them as would have done the ancients, as if they were gods ; to he mentioned with that respect and awe due only to such men fighting in the glorious cause of the equal rights of man. ‘hen we and all an their bickerings are lost in the oblivion of time, they gen- tlemen, like the morning star, shall shine with resplen- dent vividness, fresh as the summer’s rose.—(Vehement applause.)

(Much app jause.) Mr. chairman and gentlemen, there is one evil to which I would call your attention, of no small magnitude—one that oppress- es the poor and the community at large more dreadfully than does the tyranny of the worst aristocracy in any other country----that is that hydra-headed monster, the in- stitution of banks. Is there one single individual, let me ask of you--is there one, who has not suffered by these nefarious, these cheating institutions? Gentlemen, I ask again, is there one ? (Lond cries of no, uot one.) I knew it. These institutions, gentlemen, are not the ones our fathers fought for, nor are they the institutions they bled for. To overturn such wicked outrageous monopolies they fought and bled, and we in all the majesty of an en- lightened free body of men, shall we tolerate these rests for plunder, conceived and begotten in corruption and dishonesty ? (Loud cries of ‘‘no--never.”) Say with me, Gentlemen, no—[Tremendous cries o: No.”}] I would require you to look back to the years 1836-37, Good excellent times; great times, gentlemen. Beef was 1 cents per Ib.; flour ten to twelve dollars per barrel; butter two and sixpence to three shillings per pound; and every other artic! of provision in like manner, were at enor- mous prices. it was the cause of this? adearth, short crops, over population, or more mouths than provisions for them. No, sir; it was not these, it was the banks. One illustration will point out the moral of the whole, A friend of mine got a situation in a mill at Lockport, where he learnt the business of preparing flour; being very saving and industrious, he accumulated a few hundred dollars, so that he managed to rent a mill himself, and, without a cent in his pocket, borrowed twenty-five thon- sand dollars of a Butfalo bank—{Laughter.]—or a bank in Buffalo, if you. please—chartered -a schoon- er, and far up the Lakes bought up wheat at a mere, nominal price. ‘This was put through the mill, and the flour sold at $10 50 per barrel. He then borrowed from several buffers, or Buffalo banks, over one hundred thousand dollars, and speculated in like manner, with similar results, the banks receiving one-third of the pro- fits only for their risk. Gentlemen, here was aman, of no responsibility, getting thousands of dollars merely to speculate on. Now, gentlemen,the majority of these banks have burst ups and what are the consequences? Provi- sions are half the price, because these speculators could borrow no more shinplasters to buy them up. I would ask you, gentlemen, is it not a shame—a burning shame— that a few individuals can put their heads together, and form themselves into a “bank?” A bank! Geta parcel of tom fools for their tools—manufacture shinplasters— throw open their doors, and they are ready to discount--- lending other people’s money and property to their own friends and relations. Secure within themselves, they seat themselves by their own firesides--their own proper- ty secure--and with their feet to the fire, sip their wine, and very complacently smile while they’ ruin thousands. Look back, gentlemen, to the years 1836-37—the good times—the United Bank had lent, and had in circulation upwards of fifty millions of dollars. We had in circula- tion over two hundred millions of dollars, which came from England. We had upwards of thirty millions of dollars from other European States, and upwards of three hundred millions of worthless trash, the emissions of one thousand and one still more worthless banks, making up the tremendous sum of nearly six hundred millions of Aye lars. Was this in gold and silver, gentlemen? Would it had been so, and we should have good times still, even if half the sum had been of the precious metals; but no, it was worthless paper, based upon air—nothing but bub- bles. What were the consequences ofthese? Upwards of nearly six hundred millions of dollars, being in dishonest hands, was lent out to Tom, Dick, and Harry, who lent it to the Browns, Johnsons Smiths and Wilsons, who gambled it away in some man- ner or other. The consequences were, that provisions were dear, real estate went up to enormous fictitions prices, and the results, unheard of high rents. Now, six hundred millions in circulation for two years will make a reat stiz; but, eventually, who feels most, or are the vic- ims of the revulsion, of the stir? The poor. The last five years’ misery speaks aloud who are the victims. This vast sum of moni ing only paper, and the paper ufactories,--(laughter]--unable to ‘purchase rags, blown—completely done up-~and no more millions of do}- lars are to be borrowed. As the two or three banks that have withstood the shock now go on a specie basis, they want good sec! nofone-third speculation, but good’ security, when they lend gold and silver ; the speculators have’ no securities, and their principles are in keeping with their securities— (Laughter and applause) —and so they ery out bad times, and each party try to man- my name on this occasion, and am pleased with the confi- dence in me which the cail implies. And now may I ask if there is any jicular subject on which you would like ‘to hear of opinions? (*Yes!” “ '—The City Govern- ment”—“City Reform”—'The ‘Streets”—The Contract” —The Police Reform”—‘Down with the Police”—"The Police is down already”—‘ Where's Whiting ?””—*Where's Justice Taylor?” Thus cried a hundred different voices, which were silenced by Mr. Johnson, who said):—Gentle- men—you are cutting out work enough for me till next election. But it is not talking that will bring about a re- form in our city government. We don’t want talking— we want voting. (Cheers, and the cry “We'll give em notes.”) You must give them votes if you would have re- form. ‘Ifa reform is ever made it must’be made by your- selves in the ballot-boxes. (Great cheering.) Our city fathers will never make a reform in the council chamber. (“Never !”) Did not the whigs promise us reform during the whole of last your—reform in the police department— reform in street cleaning—reform in the fire departmdnt —and reform every where? (“They did.”) But did they make it? (‘No!” “No!” “No!”) “They were afraid to touch the subject of police reform for fear, if they did,they should lose their election last ing. were afraid of the int ce of the police o! and their friends at the primary meetings. ‘They said it was of no use to pass any ordinances of reform, for if they did, the Mayor would veto them, But they should have done their dut the Mayor to do his. (“And he’ afraid to do it.”) The wee Common Council did not do their ey ne did noth: ng at all—and we kicked them out of the Common Council with the right foot—(“right, and no mistake”) — of 6000 voters, good men and true.

But the truth is both the Democrats and Whigs are two very promising parties— (laughter and cheers;) but that is all youcan say of them—for they never perform.

(‘So will we, and vote for it too.”) Is it not right, fellow citizens—tax payers of the city of New York, is it not right that you yourselves, after expending twelve or fifteen millions of dollars for croton water, to secure pre pag ‘inst the desolation of such fires as we had in 1835 and 1 it not right that ie should have a fire department that will now give you this security, and re- duce your insurance? (‘It is our right, and we will have it too.”) But if the Whigs will not give you these reforms, who shall? (“The American ublican Par- ty.”) If the Democrats who are now in office will not give you a thorough Police—an efficient Fire Department —clean streets—and retrenchment of taxes, then, fellow citizens, who shall? (A tremendous shout of “The Ame- rican Republican Party”—‘‘we will”—“our votes at the next charter election.”) Fellow citizens, are you afraid to vote in favor of your own principles?—(A’ universal Ui Will you vote for men who will corey out your principles?—(One and all,\“yes.”) Will you vote for good men and true, who are afraid of neither the Irish, nor the French, nor the Dutch, nor the Devil, nor any other foreigners?

After Mr. Johnson had concluded, there were loud cries for Brown, Thompson, Locke, and other porales speakers of the party. Messrs. Brown and ‘hompson were not present, or rather not outside, and therefore Mr. William Adams Locke, of the third ward, mounted the hogshead, and addressed the people. Mr. Locke is a gentleman of very firm and dignified bearing—formerly, as we understand, a_house carpenter, but now retired upon a fortune.

And not only in strength is it a man, but even in its councils, and in its speech, and in its deeds, it is a man. But what I would say is—for I am not much accus- tomed to public speaking—(Cheers)—that the speech of this young man, the American Republican party, will be heard throughout the country—(‘‘ It is heard.”) " Yes it is heard alrvelly, thanks to the independence of the public pross—(Here some one cried out “ Three cheers for the independent public press,” which were given with great enthusiasm)—and the voice of this same young party will be heard at Washington by our Senators and our Re- presentatives. In two weeks Congress will meet, and for what purpose will they meet?—("'To make a President,” cried twenty voices.) ‘Yes, I believe it may justly be said that the principal business’ of the ensuing Congress will be to manufacture a President; and it is with shame that I say it. But, my friends, do you elect your Senators and Representat to Congress for the purpose of manufac- turing a President ?—(Loud “ No’s” from the multitude.) Do you send them there to spend their time in caucussing, log-rolling, backing and filling, scheming and wire pull- ing, with no other object in view but to pull down one party,that they may build up another on its defeat?—(‘"No” “no,” and loud cheers.) But what do you send them to Congress for? Is it not to maintain pure American re- publican principles—to legislate for the public good—and to mind their constituents’ business ?—(Tremendous cheer- ing.) Zz mt it on the other's shoulders, or lay it at each other's doors. Gentlemen, I proclaim it, they are all guilty—ag- grandizement is their view—the people, the country, its honor—everthing may go to the devil [epplause} so that they can get places and put money in their purses, and these failing, they turn politicians, their dernier resort. Through politics they see the el dorado from their disap- pointed hopes—poljtics the el dorado of their ambition.

Seward. (Terrible groans.) Let us brand him so that he may be known to whatever part of God’s earth he may betake himself. (Cheers) In ne say that our principles are the princi- pond for and this (cheers) here pro’ q I, that are not. (A voice, ‘More than that.”) Who is it that commit most of the robberies, and thefts, and murders in this ity and country, and against whom do we turn our when we lie down at night to rest ? Is it not the fo- reigners of every nation—the vagabonds that are kicked out of the old country because they are too wicked to live in it—and then don’t these same fellows, as soon as they come among us, walk right up to the bollot boxes and be- come our rulers? [Immense applause.] Yes, they are ei- ther our rulers, or our robbers—rule us, or rob us, Now this is just what I, for one, don’t like—and what’s more, I don’t believe American citizens will stand it much longer; Iam for having them live here twenty-one years before naturalization; twenty-one years is short enough to learn our language—to learn our laws, and our manners and customs. Let them serve as long’ an apprenticeship as we have; we lived here twenty-one years before we voted, and let them do the same. [Applauise.] I go, too, for the repeal of the school bill. 1 am willing to all re! gious sects their rights, whether they Ca tholies, or Episcopalians, or Methodists, or Baptists, I say to them all, " You shall have your rights, the Con- stitution of our country guarantees ‘them to you.

(Cheers and cri of “Go on.”) But the cartmen are not to be despised way the tow frocks came forward at the last election w catition. Here Mr. Hopper related the story of an Irish- man who was about to give in his vote at the charter election. “ Aun’ faith,” says he to me, “ who are you going to vote for” “ Why,” says I, “Lam going to vote for the Common Council.” ““O, git out,” says he, "' you're voting the wrong ticket—I’m not going to vote for any Common Council, ut all, at all—I’'m going to vote for Alderman Shaler again.” (Shouts of laughter and applause.) Here Mr. Hopp ted a number of very curious and som what extraordinary facts relative to the doings of the Common Council in appointing for Inspector of Cart not a cartman who wouid know something about the busi- 8, but an Irishman who knows nothing at all on matter. Another similar fact, relative to the rewood inspectors, one of whom actually does not know how to sign his name—but has to make his mark— und that, too, with the knowlecye of the Alderman of the ward, When it was told to Alderman Tillou, he replied, that such a man had as good a right to be inspector as any other man, And Alderman Patterson said the same. Mr. Mopper stated a number of other facts, with names, dates, and places, all showing that all pyblic offices were almost invariably to fore , and that a native y at ail, Is this what call equal representation ?—(Shouts of “no,") The is, we Americans are not represented at all—we get 8, Comparativ but from the highest to the lowest all are given to foreigners.

It must be worked out, gentlemen, upon the legitimate principles of trade, and prosperity must follow. It remains bor us to instil into the hearts of a new generation the pure republican principles by which we are to beg mn. ed—when the honest citizen, sitting with his family en- e al joying his domestic fireside, will accept office, fors that is dear to him, to serve country and bedelit his fellow men. [Loud cheers,] 1 know, gentlemen, ‘that this is ef- fecting much; yet if each member of the American Repub- lican Association is of true heart and true to his cause,we must succeed. [Loud and continued cheers.] | would urge upon each of you assembled here to use your most strenu- ous exertions to further our cause—we have injafew days formed a bright and magnificent nucleus, (springing from thousanes of roots; and all that is necessary is, that every individnal forming each separate root of this nucleus shall act, that our principles, our honest purposes and honest sentim shall radiate to the confines of the United States, and the results will be, that with the rising sun in the east to the setting in the west, the Republican As- sociatioe will be hailed as the dawn of a new era. The try of man, Liberty !—[the applause hers describa- le]—my breast swells with emotion,t Mr. Chairman, at the idea, that I, humble as 1am, should, however re- mote, be the cause of gaining, if it be only one individual, to the great cause of the American® Republican Pasty. 1 thank you, Mr. Chairmen and Gentlemen, for the honor you have done me in patiently listening to me. He sat down amidst much applause. then rose and was about to speak, but very politely yielded to Mr. Onanian Brooxs, who ha risen at the same moment on another part of the platform, and who had first caught the eye of the Chair- man. Mr. Brooxs spoke as follows :—Mr, Chairman and Fel- low Citizens :—We have heard a good deal about revivals of religion in these times, and also a good deal about the Tee-total Abstinence Society Reformation—(cheers)— and I think that a greal deal ‘of good has been done by them—that is by the Tee-totallers, for I must say that ever since I was cheated out of the price ofa good horse and cart by aneighbor of mine, who shall be nameless, as he has got a small family of nine children, and I don't wish to expose him to the world, as I would, 1 am sure, ha fair chanea “of doing in thit tremendous gathering ;— but. who Lad just experienced religion, and a’ most died in convulsions at a distracted meetin’ the week before—(Laughter.)

I was a-goin to say there’s a good deal of talk about revivals and reforma- tions, and its acommon practice,! believe, at these meetin’s, though I have never attended one of them myself as yet, for I pay my honest debts, wrong no man to my knowledge, and was never drunk but twice in my life, and both times was at a committee meeting in Tammany Hall.

Now let’s give three groans for then, my boys, ly denunciatory groans were’ aceordi Three cheers now for the “American R party,” and three cheers which might have heen heard at Hudson square, burst from the Mr. Brooks giving the time and throwing in ones that were heard even over nil shout of all assembled, on—John “Tohinsot Johnso Mr. John. son hap jut as soon as he heard his name called, he made his way ont, and mount ing en the head of a hogahead whieh was pro- vided for him, he addressed the crowd as follows:— Jonx Frankris Jounson—Fellow Citizens— (Cheers) ~I thank you for the honor you have done me in calling Here Mr. Locke was proceeding to say some- thing about the influence which this party would eventually produce even in our halls of national le- gislation, when he was interrupted by a gang of rowdies, who, with the design of disturbing the meeting, cried out ‘Three cheers for Daniel O?- Connell—three cheersfor Repeal—and three groans for Slavery.” The six cheers for O’Connell and Repeal were given, but by the time they came to the groans for slavery, they found themselves all knocked into a cocked hat. The way they were used up was a caution to the trinity of O'Connell, Re} al and Anti-slavery, when they attempt to in- terfere with true American citizens. Here there were loud criesfor “Cobb,” “Cobb,” and in afew minutes a young man, in the garb of a mechanic, with a_fine intelligent face, modestly mounted the hogshead just vacated by the last speaker, and recited in a deep manly voice, and with good gestures, the following poem : ‘he American Republican’s Dream. By Bexsamin Cons, Jr. Theard a deep and angry cry, Loud and deep it rang on high Borne by the bondless winds along, From an eager and an earnest throng, ‘That thought as freemen only dare, And wore the look that freemen wear, Theard a voice ring through the crowd, Methought its tones » clear and loud, Anil told of glorious days of yore, Of the laurel wreaths their fathers wore, Of trophies won by land and sea, * In their sires’ ships for liberty. Methought it asked, “Shall a servile band, ‘The refuse of many a wasted land, Now lord it o'er a sunny clime, Their fathers lost in olden If they would yield to hon The trophies of their fathers’ swords?” I thought an answer loud and shrill, Pealed from many a distant hill, Rose from the sands of occan’s shore, Mingled its notes with tempest’s roar, I thought with brighter light did glow ‘Their glances as they answered “No.” I thought it not an empty dream, Not fading light, their eyes bright gleam, That times would come, when Celt and Gael, And the Swabian crew that dared assi ‘The freedom of their native race, Would be heard no more in council place. Every stanza of this poem was received with tremendous applause, and after Mr. Cobb ceased re- citing, a number of the multitude, in the enthusiasm ofthe moment, seized him and bore him in trifmph on their shoulders. Mr. Perer De La Ree was then loudly called for, but that gentlemen not being in the room at the time, Mr. Wurrvey (the opening speaker) pro- posed that Captain Brown of the Thirteenth ward should address the meeting. Loud cheers from all parts of the hall followed this proposal, and. the Captain came forward and expressed his views briefly and emphatically as follows :— " Cartats Browx,—Mr. Chairman and fellow citizens, while I t man I take Lam a native born American. 1 hope that to alf of the cause in support of which we have met to night dear as it isto me, And J hope that all the friend cause will appear to-morrow night, at James W: manifest their sincerity.

We've been drove to the fight, and conquer we must; Weill fight till we conquor or die ! ‘We'll fight till we conquor or die ! For soon to the fight, boys, forward we'll go, With spirits so light and hearts so bold Our carbines are bent, we cry to the foe : “Halt, knaves !

Come, natives, arouse, ke. An enthusiastic burst of rapture followed, which reached such a height that the chairman felt it necessary to intimate his desire that the members of this great, and as fully shown, popular party, should set an example to all others in modera- tion and firmness as well as enthusiasm. The chairman’s modest, but well-timed remarks, had an instantaneous effect on the meeting, who were again enlivened with the following melodious dash of patriotism from the same voice :— DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP. Our canvass is spread, and our anchor’s a-trip, And we start with a SOFAS gale; And if danger should come, why we'll And we'll ne’er think of taking in sail. Unfurl our brave ensign, to float to the;breeze,* Our country’s bright stripes and its stars, For the old Constitution can stand any seas, While mann’d with American tars.

We know them full well with their Jesuit tricks, And we mean to attack them this trip, And we'll show the old spirits of "76, ‘And our motto—“Don't give up the ship.” And when we have lower’d their standard, my boys, And broke their shilelahs in pieces, ‘We'll bid all our friends and our neighbors rejoice, As the cry of our triumph increases; ‘Then steer our ship boldly right up to the polls, Americans come to the grip! Our tars are frank hearted and jovial souls, And our motto=Don'’t give up the ship.” Mr. Jans N. Jones was next loudly called for and made a few sensible remarks upon the necessity of the Ameri- can Republican party, showing the completeness of their organization. Mr. Jones was listened to with undivided attention. i s Mr. Wurtyey said, that with the permission of the Chair. man, he would inform the meeting that their cause was hourly strengthening in the city, and that they had had an offer from the sixth ward of a’ “ bone and sinew” depu- tation to protect them against Irishmen—(tremendou: [siren eters such, he thanked heaven was not nee ut that these indications of growing strength were never- theless received with a cheering influence. Some of the role business, such as drawing in cash, taking down names, &c. was then gone into.

Such a complete jam has been for some time past a rara avis in this city. It was a congregation of patriots. Their onward ca- reer was demonstrated by last nights triumphant display. = are into the trot ; ive it @ grip, Tue Licur or Orner Days.—The association of young philosophers, who call themselves the Mercantile Library Company, begin their lecture season this evening, at the Clinton Hall. The first lecture is to be delivered by the Rev. Mr. Putman, from somewhere, on the beautiful subject which he calls “light ”’—but whether it gas-light, rush-light, candle light, or light from the spermaceti whale, we are not fully advised. When the young race of merchants all become philosophers, poets, histo- rians and orators, instead of good clerks, rapid ac- countants and expert book keepers, always look out for additions to bankrupt lists one of these days. Take 2 from 2 and nothing remains. Musicau.—The Hutchinson family gave a concert last evening at the Society Rooms. It was well attended. These vocalists are a sort of mountain minstrels from the hills of Vermont and New Hampshire. They remind us of the beautiful street minstrels from Switzerland, who travel over all the cities of Europe, singing their charming na- tive airs, and picking up coppers and oakum. Mr. Dempster gives a concert to-night in the So- ciety Rooms, Broadway. He sings some of the beautiful ballads of Scotland, Erin, and elsewhere. Sergeant’s ‘‘ Death of Warren” is one of the best. Ole Bull, the prince of violinists, from Europe, is expected here to-morrow, by the steamer. He is the greatest and best of the lot in the old world—is a fine looking young man, and fights like a tiger. Music.—We refer our readers to the advertise- ment in our columns of new music, at Atwill’s fashionable establishment, in Broadway—for new boots, you must go to our boot maker in the Herald Buildings, Nassau street. ‘Turarricats.—Wallack takes a benefit to-night at the Park Theatre. He will be supported by one of the best lot of automatons, called a stock com- pany, that were ever collected together from the land of dullness in any country under heaven. The contrast of life and death between the acting of Wallack and that of these excellent “stocks” will be a rich lesson in philosophy and fun. Let him have a bumper. Apropos.—We hear that a new theatre on the spot where Washington Hall stands, is again on the tapis. Now is the time to push ahead this piece of enterprise. Business is improving—money is plen- ty—cotton and potatoes in abundance—and every thing is going ahead as “merrily as a marriage bell.” Cuarnam Turarre.—The manager, ever watch- ful for the comfort of his visitors, has hit upon a new plan for the enlargment of his accommoda- tions. On either side of the proscenium is a spa~ cious saloon, which have hitherto been used as lumber rooms, which have been fitted up in the most tasteful manner as balcony boxes, furnished with chairs, and all the elements of comfort which the most spacious European theatres could afford. This extra room has been long requisite, and in these days will tend to add materially to the receipts of the house. ‘To-night we are to part with Mr. Rice for the season. He takes his fare- well benefit, playing the farce of “Here's a Go.” ‘The comic sketch of the “Peacock and Crow,” the “Foreign Prince,” dances, and a repitition of the “Pretty Girls of Stillburg.” A grand military specta- cle, which will employ the services of an hundred performers, is in preparation. 's Circus.—Our last advices state that Gen, Welch with his circus was then (Oct. 6) at Malaga on the Mediterranean, shortly bound for Gibraltar. We suppose, therefore, he is on his way hack to this country. Toronto Moroen.—The sentence of Grace Marks, convicted with MeDermott of the murder of Mr. Kinnear, has been commuted to imprisonment for life.
