NEW YORK HERALD. Wow York, Saturday, November 25, 1843. Tux Sunpay Herauy, to-morrow, will contain a full report of the great Post office Reform Meet- ing to be held in Wall street this day. We are happy to inform our readers that the Post Office Department have made liberal arrangements to transmit the President’s Message by express to | this city, as soon asdeliveerd to Congress :— | 2 Post Orrice, New York, Nov. 24, 1843. Janes Gorvon Benserr, Esg., Eorron Henaty, N.Y. | Drax Sin :— 1 am instructed by the Post Master General to inform you that the department intend sending the President's Message by express to this city, as has been done for the last two years, at considerable expense. It musi be remembered that iffor any cause Congres should not be ready to receive the Message on Tuesday, that the onlers for the express will be kept in existence until the Message arrives. Respectfully your obd’t. serv’t, JOHN LORIMER GRAHAM, P. M. ‘This is just the thing, and is ereditable to the De- | partment. We suspect, however, that Congress | will not be organised in time to receive the Message on the Tuesday indicated. The organization of the | House will be delayed by the probable contest about | the doubtful or illegal delegations. Indeed we | should not be surprised to see a storm in the capital of a month’s continuance. No one can tell which way, or how long, the passions of politicians may blow. Ifthey do quarrel, and shoot each other, we shall not be at the expense of a bit of crape at all— not we, Another Great American Mecting. We give in this day’s paper a report of another great ward meeting of Young America, which was held in the Sixth Ward, last evening, at the Great Mass Meeting of the American Re- Ppublicang at the North Amerisan Hotel, Bowery, last evening=the Bloody Sixth taken by Storm! A tremendous meeting of the American Repub- | licans took place last evening in the large room of the North American Hotel, corner of the Bowery | and Bayard street. Long before the time of eom- | mencing the proceedings the room was crowded t suffocation, and the stair cases, lobbies, bar room, and indeed all the public rooms in the Hotel, were also crammed by hundreds who could not get admittance to the hall. The enthusiasm—the good order—the animation—the unanimity of this great meeting could not be surpassed. It was, in every sense of | the term, of the most respectable character. A great number of the best and most substantial citi- zens of the Ward were present, and we also no- ticed a number of down-town merchants and opu- lent citizens, who have heretofore abstained from attending political meetings, but who are now daily uniting themselves to this reform party, and who are men who would do honor to any cause. At half past 7 o’clock exactly the meeting was called to order, Mr. Scurorprn in the Chair. After the minutes of last meeting had been read and apqroved. ho had eee suipcinted President of the ation, tendered his resignation, which was accepted. Cnaries Scunorpen, Esg., Was then no- minated as President, and took the Chair amid the loud acclamations of the meeting. On taking the Chair Er. Schroeder briefly addressed the association. He declared his intention to out with all his energies the objects of that party. They were opposed to whigs and locofo- cos—subterraneans and abolitionists—every party except that which had for its object the real interest, prosperity and honor of the United ‘States—(applause). ‘the const. tution would be read ; it stated definitely the views and prineipies ofthe association, and he (Mr. 8.) would not etain the meeting longer than to repeat his determina. tion to carry out those views and principles to the best of his ability so long ex God should spare him health. momorable corner of the Bowery and Bayard street. This turn-out was equally as spirited, enthusi- astic, crowded, and as perfectly overwhelming as any we have yet described—yet it is evident that this singular movement is only in its commence- ment. Every meeting seems to increase in enthu- siasmvas they increase innumbers. Another feature is the strange association and commingling of whigs and locofocos, both of whom repudiate all the old ties ‘and trammels with irresistible humor and spirit. Equally striking is the tone of respectabili- ty that pervades the mass assembled. At the meet- ing last night the turn-out was so fierce and strong that none of the old party hacks durst show their | faces to molest it. | lias very evident that we have at last begun, in| this metropolis, a mighty moral, and political revo- | lution that wiil rush over the whole country. Itis| ¢ not to be confined to New York. We lear from | & these men that preparations and steps have been ta- | ken already to organize a similar movement in Bal- | timore, Philadelphia, Boston, Albany, Troy, Buf- falo, and elmost in every principal town in the state of New York. The same movement will spread east, west, and south. In less than three months the whole country will be like a prairie on fire.— More movements are also projected in this city— and a mighty mass meeting of all the wardsis to be | held in Washington square, in the bright moon- light, in about ten days, to be followed up by gen- eral mass meetings in every square and park of New York. In the meantime we call upon “Young America” to come down to Wail street to-day, at half past twelve o’clock, and support the cause of Post office reform. Post Orrict Rerorn—Tue Great Meetine at | THE ExcHancE THIS pay.—The great public meet ing of the merchants and all others in this city, who are desirous of effecting a reform of the present de- fective and oppressive Post-office system, takes place at the Merchant's Exchange, this afternoon, at half past 12 o’clock precisely. We shall ex- pect a very large assemblage and anticipate from its action very important results. It is to be hoped that an energetic, perservering popular movement will commence from this day, and not cease until the wished-for and so much needed reform is ef fected. A great many plans of Post Office’ Reform may, and probably will be suggested. But in our opin- ion the best and most practical one would embrace these features:—first, the introduction of the cheap cash principle; that is, that the postage on all letters and newspapers should in all cases be prepaid; se- condly, the reduction of the expense of transmit- ting letters, newspapers, and packages by mail, to the lowest possible standard; that is, for letters not more than eight or ten cents and not less than four or five cents for any distance; and for newspapers at the rate of about one half cent for 200 miles,and perhaps a cent for any distance over that. The in- troduction of this cheap cash principle might alarm the officials connected with the Post-office Depart- ment, who might possibly imagine that it would diminish the revenue; but we are perfectly convinced that it would have no such effect, but that on the contrary, it would greatly promote the resources of the department. Let us look at the effects of this system on another branch of business—on the business of newspaper publication. It is a remarkable fact that those newspapers which were started and have been con- ducted on the cheap cash principle, have increased during the last eight years, from nothing to many millions—far above any of the large papers con- ducted on the old system, or of all of them put to. gether. Before this principle was applied to the newspaper press, the very same objections, or ra- ther assertions, were urged, that it was a danger- ous experiment—that it would fail—that it could not possibly succeed. But it has long since, as we have seen, proved triumphantly its superiority, and its vast utility. The same results would follo its application to the Post Office business. Amongst the numerous reasons for the adoption of this sys- tem, we way allude to the fact, that at this moment an immense quantity of newspapers are transmitted through the mails, which are never taken out of the Post-Offices. And as every body knows, the quantity of dead letters is immense, and the cost of tl advertising them adds very greatly to the expenses of the department. All this would of course be saved by areduction of postage and the introduction oj the system of pre-payment It a'so worthy of remark, that about nine- tenths of the Post-Office rentes in this country do not pay the expenses of transportation, and the deficit is mostly inade up by the commercial routes. ‘The commercial interest is thus made to bear a) very unequal share of the burden of the Post-Offi Department, paying at least one-half of the defi- ciencies of other classes. This is manifestly unjust, As tothe clamor raised by the Post Office functiona- ries, about the deficiencies in the revenue of the department, we are always very glad to hear it, because it tends to open the eyes of the people to | the important fact we have just mentioned, and | which furnishes a very powerful argument in favor | of the necessity and justice of adopting some | system by which the expenses of carrying on this | branch of the government will be fairly equalized, | and not made to fall to such an oppressive degree | on the cominercial classes. | Let all citizens who desire a reform in these mat- | ters attend the mecting to-day. Without distin tion of party let them assemble, and at once co mence an effective plan of agitation, which will | soon oblige Congress to yield to the popular wishes on this subject—one of evident and universal in- terest and importance Evacuation Day.—This is the memorable day that the British troops left this city, and the mili- tary intend to make quite a display on the occasion, They will be reviewed in the Park at 12 o'clock, by Marshal Bertrand, who sails for France at one o'clock.

The constitution and by-laws were then read and adopted. ‘There were loud cries for Mr. Whitney, but he yielded to Mr. Oaxuxy, who made his appearance, and was greeted with loud applause. ‘1 did not expect,” said he, “ to find such a vast assemblage. If this be a true criterion of ourstrength, we have every hope of success. ‘The Ame- rican spirit has been fully roused in this great metropolis. Although it slumbered, and allowed corruption to go on unshackled, = it Hlived, and it now moves and acts —(Cheers.)

Troan only solve the miraculous growth of our party by the fact that the people are determined to be the judges who will effec- tually rid the community of the petty tyrants who have trodden us down hitherto. We are determined to stand bo our principles, and there is not atrue citizen who will not give the assent of his understanding, and affections of his heart, to these principles—(Cheers,) | It is said that we are opposed to giving men what the con- stitution guarantees, This is utterly false. We only as- ert that the policy with regard to foreign influence, has afe, pernicious, and calculated to undermine the ution. It may be said that this isan old topic. But is it to be said that because we have slum- ly yielded to the yoke of Popery. No! ) We are determined to carry out our princi ballot box, and show that Americans are capal governing themselves—(Terrific cheers.) Our rights have been invaded. How ? By bands of foreigners who have held the balance of power for years. And they have been put up and sold like oxen at the'stalls. Is it not so ?—(“ Yes, yes,”—true as “holy writ.”)_ I care not what cligue it be. Catholic, Jew, Greek, Gentile, Baptist—what they please, they shall’ not form cliques to destroy our ‘liberties. I to the death with thousands'to damn them, and put them where they ought to be—(Terrific cheering.) Inthis ward, men who have jived here onlya few years,have been put above us—(“‘Con. Donohue,” cried a voice, followed by groans and hisses.) The time has come, however, when the city will not be governed’ oy such men—men who care for nothing but their own aggrandizement. (That's true and cheers.) The Common Council, in their discus- sions on the School law, have come out with a new fea- ture. They say that a school is to be built whenever the Commissioners ask it, and who are the Commissioners ? (Irishmen.”) Yes, Irishmen. (Hisses and groans.) But we will not suffer it. These schools have been among the in- stitutions which have elevated us in the eyes of the whole No. world. They never made onr citizens sectarian. Let us come out, then, boldly. Remember one years or no yote.” (Tremendons chee! at the conduct of the party p1 In one of this day’s whig prints there is a long article on this sub- They begin to wake up.” But we'll teach them y have waked up the wrong passenger when e roused this spint. It is the spirit of our sires— which alone can en ermanence. Let us recollect that a great man sai |, that if eve our appeared from amidst the dense masa of his fellow citizens, and was cheered to the platform, Mr. Sammons—Fellow citizens—I had hoped to have been excused Foe § address you this evening. After the effort just m: by the good-natured De La Ree, who has been a host in our cause, I am confident f! can add nothing to heighten that enthusiastic feeling which, as an American citizen, I glory in seeing display- ed. Iam sure I need not say to you that if ever there ‘was a cause which needed less, as it fears less,the discus- sion of its principles, ours is that cause. Look at our ban- ners and there you will see that our principles need no discussion to gain the ascendancy over every American Rapsnlices heart. You will see there that we advocate no interest not indigenous to our soil. Seamease cheer- ing.) When you look at the banners of the democrats, you turn aside and ask what are the principles oyer which these banners are displayed ?- when you see the banners of the whigs the same question presents itself to your minds; but free as the land in which they are so prondly maintained, are the principles of the American Republicans. And all we now don our armor for is that for which neither of the other parties hat contended—I mean American interests, in all their Rarity. None who know our law: tions—can fail to know this. to picture to himself the contrast between the pre- sent and former times in our land, I tell him to look to the per days of the New England ‘States, and to the first landing ‘at Plymouth. | ask him then to turn to the Empire | City of New York as we see it now; and I point him to the melancholy fact that Americans—aye ! and Americans with all the hol dead burning in.their “bosoms which can entitle them to the name—are here living in u state of de- pendence upon foreign inflaence—and under such con- trol that they cannot say who is to govern them and who is not. I tellhim that that sacred Protestant Bible, first introduced by our Pilgrim Fathers, is a Romish sthood, to be denounced as a sectarian wo! and that those who call themselves our present rul would join in tearing the sacred volume from our chil ren’s hands. And when I tell him these things, | ask if will not join in telling our Common Conneil, in the spirit of an American patriot, that this people never did, and never will—aye! never will!—show. their allegiance to pri power !—(Great cheering.) When our glorious | Constitution was adopted, the alliance of Church and State was viewed as altogether too unholy for a free le.—(Applause.) The same feeling has always hitherto been cherished, but now we see, to our horror, | an attempt made by a Catholic priesthood to blend the re- ligious with the political power, and we would soon have seen, had not this glorious demonstration of American Republicanism been made, the latter named member of the detestable frm yielding pliantly to the baneful influence ofthe former. Yes, I repeat it, fellow citizens, that here, in the vast city of New York, religion and politics are all but united, and what enhances the enormity, that religion which seeks to mix itself up with our institutions is the religion ofall others, most insidions in its operations— most unscrupulous in its means to gain power, and most apt to undermine and roy the glorious temple of our liberty, whilst the religion for which our fathers fought’ and bled, has been sought to be pros- trated by the arm of Cee) Hughes. (Loud applause.) cries of “never,” ‘we'll die first,” “we'll kill the old Pope and every one belonging to him first.”) When we see these things staring us in the face we are called upon by the voice of freedom to rise up as one man, and drive the corrupt parties, who would tolerate such infamous ettorts from our City Government. Let there be nothing but a free American spirit displayed in doing this; but with.our curses upon the damning influence of party, let us unite in driving that Demon from our country. | It must appear plain enough to us that party spirit is destructive of ;Re- publican interests. I speak from a knowledge of the 1acts when I say to you that in this city, on an election day, fgners have been known to travel after American citi- zens, hint thein from poll to poll, and present themselves | before when they offered their ticket, and what was their obiection to thé American giving his vote? Oh, none but that unfeeling argument, the shilelah! (Im- mense laughter.) Fellow citizens, who could have anti- cipated, a few short months ago, that such an invincible front as the American Republicans now show at all their meetings, would so soon have been raised for the annihi- lation of the corrupt and profligate parties (and they are equally ad) under whose sway such daring acts of atro- city have been perpetrated. ti glory in the demonstra- tions of our strength. 1 gladden atthe prospect ahead of us. Ifwe continue to meet and carry out our principles, careful that the baneful influence of party does not creep into and contaminate our Councils, nothing can oppose us. Anda love of country prompts me to say that when the struggle comes, the American bond of feeling will tri- umphantly prevail over party ties. (Great cheers. The Union forever”—“Americans will be Americans,” &c,)— When the question arises, who shall be our next Presi- dent, we shall consider it as men with no sinister motives i ‘we shall look at no party candidate, as a party candidate—at no district candidate, as a district candidate; but we shall vote with acclaim for the man whom we judge best fitted for the exalted station, and that man shal] be he who has the best American heart in him, and whose thoughts breathe the purest American patriotism. With these views we shall go on, side by side, contending for reform, and the reform which we ask, I need not say we must have. It cannot fail to come at an early day— (Cheers.) When we say that Americans must conirol their own elections, we are neither unreasonable nor un- wise. When we declare that no foreigner ought to vote in our country until he has been twenty-one years on our soil, we know that three-fourths of them, when they come amongst us, can neither read nor understand our language. Wedo not ‘say that they shall not be al- \ to feed and nourish themselves amongst us, but we that they shall not carry into the heart of elections, liberties be destroyed it will be by foreign influenci Never let it be said that we cannot take care of ourselves. Look who now are filling the places of honor and trust in Most of them are the foreigners. A poor the 9th Ward has beeu diecharged—fortw hat? For voting the American Republican ticket—(groans an hisses)—and so it is all over. Our Alms House officers are almost all Irish. The great mass of those living on the taxes of the city are foreigners. They are men destitute of pr “hens patriotism—of that true American feeling w alone bring them up from amid the corrupt f the day and of parties. But all this we shall reform. We invite public scrutiny. We are determined to correct and remedy every abuse in our municipal government. 1 am preparing and will in a few days present in a proper form, a statement of the expendi- tures of the city. This will show the corruptions of party in a light which will strike every one. Remember our word is, ‘ Vietory or death !” Pure and unsullied, stead- fast to our principles, let us remain, and nothing’ can re- sist that avalanche which is rolling over our city. The naturalization laws shall repealed —so will the odious school law—and our officials will be true Ame- ricans—men who know and will carry out our principles to their death. Here the cheering was absolutely deafening—and continued for some minutes after Mr. Oakley re- sumed his seat. r energetic and effective, and there are hundreds of young men equally talented who are preparing to join the movement. The next speaker was--- Bessamix Saunturre Wartrxcy—Mr. Chairman, our predecessor alluded to our public schools. Now, for my- self, I received my education in a public school, and J found them all I could desire—they taught, in my opinion, right principles, holy principles—aud 1 will ever defend them. I have ever been a friend of the American Repub- lican party. We are in a ward renowned for its bloody riots ; but Iam proud to find so many gathered together to-night, disposed to order, and to maintain order. ‘This is the Empire City—the Empire State. Other parts of the country look to us for an example—let us give it to them —let our city become the great polar star. But in order to be this polar star,she ought to be under pure and true Ame- rican principles—not under foreign influence. (Cheers.) I believe a spirit is now enkindled that will ever burn so long as the everlasting hills shall stand. Our public offices ¢ been sold in time past. For years past our most lucra- tive offices have been held by foreigners—(A voice—“‘Iri men.’) Yes, by Irishmen—and they have Swartwouted with our mone ers.) When I remember that our forefathers bled fl and died upon the field of battle, I feel that I must raise my Voice in defence of the principles for which they died—(Cheers.) I believe 1 am now in the Sth ward-(you are”)—in the bloody sixth—("'y ou ar” that has been’ the hot bed of Irishmen and of their riots. But I find also, that I am under the protection of true American citizens—(“ Yes, you are all that by G—d.”)_ 1 believe you will never allow these foreigners to come among you and take possession of your polls again— “ ») The time has come for you to rise wy the shackles of foreign influence— Gentlemen, I speak but my own sentiments, and do not wish them set down ‘as the principles of the American Republican Party—but for myself Ido say before high heaven, that I would never allow a Roman Cath to vote at all in this country even though he were three times twenty-one years old. I don’t believe men who are willing to wade knee deep in blood to defend their religious faith, and that the Roman Catholic faith, eyer can became good citizens of this country, and | therefore I say let them never cheers.) Mr. Whitney concluded his speech in a strain of high wrought and patriotic eloquence, but in no other re- xpressing any distinctive feature of the America’ blican Party. “He sat down amid nine hearty cheer The cry here arose and was echoed with deaten- ing roars through the hall for Mr. Perer Dr La | Ree. ‘That gentleman responded to the soul-stirring invitation, and when he ascended the platform, was honored with three tremendous cheers.

And we're all a putting, &e, Mr. De La Ree then sung another song, and a speech was called for from several, but no one ap- pearing, the President announced the following meetings :—On Saturday night at, De La Ree’s, in the Fifteenth Ward, at the American Star House; on Monday at the old Watch House in the Ninth Ward; on Wednesday the Third Ward meets, and Thursday the Fourth Ward Natives assemble at the hhakspeare Hotel. , At this stage of the proceedings a sturdy, ener- getic, whole souled Native jumped on the table, shaking the deals to pieces,. upsetting ink stands, jugs and reporter’s papers. He was recognised as Cartain Bexsamin Brown—Fellow citizens, d—n me if 1am not right tela to ace you to-night. May I never be called Captain Brown again, and you all know me | guess as old Captain Brown—(Yes, we do. Go ahead, old tear away.) Yes, lam goin to tear away, and tell you that the Bloody Sixth” has done nobly; and I’m one of them ’ere natives that’s glad on it—(Cheers.) Itold youl ain’t no spokesman, but by my old coat, I’m a true born re- gular genuwine native Republican American—(Enthu- siastic cheers)—and I go forthe party without a stopping totry the height of the steam—(Don't bust your boiler, or you'll scald the Pope). The Pope be burned, say 1— (Hurrah,) Well, now, fellow citizens, I’m going to work, and I want you to listen. We have been told that this is a trick; now Itell any man who says so, he lies—(Yes he does, old cock.) If it is a trick, it is one that Bishop Hughes and John McKeon’s Paddies don’t like, 1 guess— (No, they don’t.) heard they were coming here to use their elahs, and that’s the reason why Iam here; for I guess they'd have to cross my dead body afore they'd reach the threshold—(Three cheers for Old Brown and down with the Irish Paddies.) 1 hope the next meeting will be as respectable and as well attended as this is. I don’t care what ward it is held in, but go your death on meetings, and let them be quiet, respectable, unanimous meetings, such as was held in the Eleventh and Ninth wards, and I rather guess the Ninth ward was a bumper.—(Yes, and all our meetings will be bumpers.) They say I'm not @ na- tive; now I vy you know I am a regular clear built na- tive and no mistake, and the man who I'm not he tells a whopper—(he does.) Fellow citizens, my advice to you is to become well organized; we have a hard bat- tle'to fight, and unless we drill our forces every day we won't have them in proper training for next spring, when despite of every clique, hunker or catholic priest, we'll cai : d' the mayor.—Yes, we'll carry all go the whole hog and swallow the bristles, Old Brown.) No I aint so greedy, all | want jew woed mouthful and then Lean fll my belly.—(Great laughter.) All I want is twelve warls.—(Never say die. Well, boys, I guess I'd better give in to you, so don’ ive ‘up the ship, as long as there’s a shot in the locker. here’s no back-out inme ; 1 want no foreigners to come and dictate to me ; by heavens, I won't stand it(—loud laughter) —and if you don’t support me, why, I'll stand alone—(‘ we'll stand to your back, old boy”). "What docs Bishop Hughes say ?. Why, let Irishmen’govern Ireland, let Scotchmen govern Scotland, let Englishmen govern England, but let Irish Catholics govern America, I'll see him tetotally d—d_first,!—(The er gave such an energetic stamp with his right leg that the boards of the table started from their nails—a shout of deafening laugh- ter burst from all in the room, and for several minutes the entire audience were convulsed). Fellow-citizens, 1 guess if I stand here any longer,the table will suffer some, and I feel as if I could shout myself out of a native into a cockedghat;so I rather think I'll stop. I said | was no spokesman, but I’m a thinker, and I tell you what I think, -, Set up stich meetings as this—such speakers, such sing: ers, and I guess | won't be satisfied with twelve wards ; but as you say, I'll go for the nineteen—(cheers). I'm glad to see the bloody Sixth turn out so well; and boys, you pretef ay have old ‘Ben Brown’s blessing—(enthusiastic cheering). 3 After Mr. Brown had retired, loud calls were made for Fenn! Haskett! Golden! Peck! Pier- son! Savage! Fenn! Hopper of the 9th Ward---or any good man! This last fired the nativeness of one of the gentlemen. So, after a hustle or two, Mr. Lewis Pecx came forward and said—Gentlemen and fellow Republicans, as no one else seems disposed, | appear to say a few’ words—(if you can’ give usa Peck, why give us half bushel, good measure)—I feel proud this day (it’s night) to see gathered around me in the Sixth Ward such a body of my countrymen. Too long has the stigme of eh domination marked the proceedings of this ward, and I almost dispaired of seeing my fellow Americans arise and proclaim their indignation at the insults which have been heaped,year after year,wy on us; but thanks be to God and honor to our cause, the day has arrived, and I believe the time has come,when the Americans, born and nurtured on this free soil, have re- solved to assert their dignity and to rule themselves—. (Cheers.) Yes, a glow of the purest enthusiasm warm: me as I contemplate the glorious triumphs which mui follow the great movement in which we are engi Too long have we slumbered—too long has the symbol of freedom been wrested from our hands by the slaves of foreign birth. (Cheers.) But now we are awake—now we have girded on the armor for the work and unless suc- cess crown our efforts, we will throw ourselves in the gap, and as one man, perish in the struggle which has this year been re-commenced for liberty, liberty !(Loud cheers.) Oh, God! whose favoring protection led the armies of our forefathers to the battle field, and nerved them for the. vie- tory, look down on us,and prosper our endeavors. (Cheers.) Fellow citizens, we have embarked in a cause which is dear to every lover, not merely of his country but of the pure and broad principles of liberty. ‘What is the cause of the shouts which have been heard here to-night? I'll tell you; it is the oath ofa arty registered in heaven, that foreign slavery shall not. sully the institutions for which our sires spent their blood and treasure—that foreign domination shall be subdued—that the priest and the Pope shall not be the arbiters of the laws which shall govern our chileren ; but thut freemen, unshackeled, unswayed, and unconfessed shall make their own laws, shall elect their own rulers and shall educate their sons in the holy seuths of the Word of God, without note or comment.— (Loud and clk to cheers.) Fellow citizens, we have 1 work to perform,and now it must be done, or never. We must put down by a resolute stand every attempt to put a foreigner into office ; we must watch Closely the move- ments of the wire-workers of both the whigs and locofo- cos, and if possible, defeat their machinations. Be up and doing, boys of the Sixth Ward, and you will carry your ticket at the next election.—(Cheers, we will! we will !) I know you can if you do your duty. They may threaten us with the rabble of the Five Pointe, with the shillel of the Irishmen, who may be seen emerging every morn: ing from the sinks of that infernal hole, but we tell them, no! the native Americans have risen in their might, and they fear not club law.—(Loud and enthusiastic cheers.) Let us drop party politicians,whether they be whigs, loco- facos, democrats, or subterraneans, and resolve to support the Native American Republican ticket at all event: id at all hazards—(We will; loud cheers.) Fellow citizens, don’t know our strength, nor do our enemies know it; but they will be taught a lesson next spring which will astonish them, for then the voice of the native Americans of New Vork will be heard, and the second Declaration of Independence will be ei Core loud and long) Go to the ballot boxes, there read the signers!—(Enthu- siastic cheering ) rt y. is, * Freedom from foreigm domination, and the Bible”— , the declaration of the new (Shouts) We will not allow any man of any creed to say vo us, * This your children shall read; this they shall be- lieve; this they shall bow to.” No, we can educate onr own children, and teach them to be honest, and I hope in: dependent men, fearing God and honoring his laws and the institutions of thelr native land—(Increased enthu- siagm.) Gontlomen, don’t be lulled to security by the ap- parent inactivity of our opponents. If we do not hear that they are holding meetings, do not wonder.

But their day has gone by—and | naw call on all to come forwart sign the constitution of the Native American Republican party--talk of ite principles and ite pm sin your workshops, your tores, your houses, your institutes, your friendly meet- ings, ynur morning il eveniny wet your whole con- | Itis the voice of cannory | The glad shouts of the free | This is a day of memory | "Tis freedom’s jubilee, versation be abuut tl ricans, and then we shall hope to succeed—(Cheers)—Teach your children its doctrines, and when they are men they will bless you~ | fohoeee) A we want is Union—all w eask is, Unite t up up men of known moral worth, of respectability of unswerving attachment to our coun- try. 2 them from parties and then we will ence wilgh"acr"We" trough agua ws.

One word—God bless our cause, and mir it prosper. For several minutes the room resembled the in- terior of the Cyclops’ forge during a jollification, for every kind of noise which could possibly be invent- ed, followed. Shouts, cheers, clapping of hands, stamping of feet ells and hurrahs, amid which the motion to adjourn was carried ; and after nine distinct and enthusiastic cheers for the Sixth Ward and the Native American Republican Party all over the continent, the meeting broke up. If the spirit which animated the Natives of the Sixth Ward be earried out in all the other wards, then we proclaim—and we do so satisfied that we are correct—that the men who shall fill the chairs of the,Common Council next May, will be Native. Americans to a man; and that the death knell of knavery, bribery and corruption, will be rung by every bell in every spire within the city, never to be known again. Again we say be united and ‘ou have nothing to fear. Onward—onward! Nine cheers for the Young Americans! Imrortanr Inrriaves at WasiINGTon FoR THE Sports.—We learn from Washington that a variety of important movements are in agitation amongst the politicians in relation to the office of printer to Con- gress—the speakership—organization of parties— the general distribution of the spoils—and so on. It seems that Slamm, Bang & Co. of the Plebeian, have been on the ground for several days, endeavor- ing to negotiate with respect to the office of printer. Several propositions have been offered. One is that Mr. Slamm shall unite himself with Amos Kendall, securing to that gentleman the vote of the State of New York; and by this means it is supposed that the defeat of Blair will be effectually achieved. On the other hand it is generally understood that Bryant & Boggs, of the Evening Post, will send ona delega- tion for the purpose of consummating a union with Blair, and thus defeat their opponents. In the meantime John Jones is not idle. He comes. into the field with smile on each check, and half a do- zen votes in his pocket, fully determined,like a sen- sible, honest man as he is, to inake the most of the six or seven fresh laid eggs he brings into the market. The fact is, all the parties present, at this mo- ment, a very curious and amusing aspect. We do not see how a complete row, on the organization of the House, can be avoided; and would not be at all surprised to see the House wasting a month in fight- ing and quarrelling, before they get a speaker, on the admission of certain delegations whose members have not been elected according to law, as they say. The House of Representatives will thus be a very respectable mob for a month at least. Much fun may, therefore, be anticipated, We shall, as usual, watch all the movements, and have reporters on the ground to furnish full and authentic accounts of each day’s doings. Surety or Dgap Boptes ror Dissecttox.—A great deal of popular excitement has been frequently produced by the discovery that the grave had been invaded and robbed, for the purpose of supplying the means of pursuing anatomical studies with profit and success. It is only a few days since a serious riot was almost created by a circumstance of this character occurring in this city. We think it is very much to be regretted that measures have not long since been adopted by the proper authorities, for the purpose of preventing such scenes. This could be very easily effected. It is to be hoped that there is now very little necessity for any effort to convince the intelligent and enlightened portion of the com- munity, thatthe dissection of dead bodies, for the purpose of acquiring anatomical knowledge, is not only justifiable, but absolutely necessary, and of the utmost importance to the living. The prejudice against the practice is, indeed, now pretty much confined to the lowest and uneducated classes. But at the same time public decency and a regard to mo- tality require that the disgusting traffic in dead bodies should be immediately suppressed. The vio- lation of the tomb cannot be defended on any prin- ciple, however the absence of all legal provision for the satisfactory pursuit of anatomical science, may palliate it. How, then, is the offence to be prevent- ed, and at the same time the interests of science sacured and promoted? Simply by the enactment by the municipal authorities of a law that the bodies of persons dying in the public hospitals, without relatives to claim them for interment, be distributed equitably to the medical colleges. The bodies of persons found jrowned—of suicides, and others without claimants, could also be disposed of in the same way. This is the system adopted in London, Glasgow, and other large cities in Europe. By adopting it here the sanctity of the tomb would be secured, the detesti- ole traffic in human flesh would be suppressed, and in abundant supply of subjects would be provided for the schools of anatomy. We trust that a move- iment to effect this may be at once originated. Arnivais.—The Hon. Silas Wright and lady, di- rect from Kinderhook, have just arrived at How- ird’s. He spends several days before departing for Washington. The Hon. ‘Preston King M. C. from Ogdensburgh—the Hon. Wm. Parmentier, M. C. trom Massachusetts—the Hon. A. C. Flagg, Comp- roller of the State of New York—Ex-Governor Marcy, just returned from Washington—the Hon. c. H. S. Benton M. C. from Mohawk—the Hon. Albert Smith M. C. from Batavia—are all at Hiow- ard’s, According to our horoscope this extraordinary conjunction of political stars indicates an entire overhauling, new modelling, and readjusting of the machinery of party. Holy Mary, pray for the un- fortunate republic ! The venerable David Barnum, Esq., of the City Hotel, Baltimore, is at the Astor House. Generar Berrranp.—This distinguished veteran lid not sail yesterday as was expected—the packet raving delayed sailing to give the General an op- vortunity of enjoying at least a part of the celebra- tion this day. Should the wind prove fair, the packet will sail at one o'clock this afternoon. His son, young Mr. Bertrand, does not sail with his fa- ther, but spends the winter in this country. povdcssnen sole Tue Lisrexanp Witt Case.—This case was igain before the Surrogate yesterday, and some svidence was taken, but it didnot amount to much. Lispenard Stewart and Col. Webb, the two oppos- ng parties, were present with their lawyers. We do not perceive much chance for Webb in yreaking the will of the late Robert Stewart, and even if he sneceeded, we cannot discover that his fare would amount to much. The estate is so sovered with debt and mortgages, that many sup- vose it will never yield over $50,000 in all. Atpre- sent it looks like the oyster case—the lawyers will indoubtedly effect an opening—probably eat the rontents—and give a shell to each of the litigants, We would advise Webb to abandon this boot- ess, fruitless, oysterless case—to stick to his pa- ver—study economy—drink cheap wine or good chew stock speculation¢—play no cards— the whole of his talents and piety to the ‘ectification of the Episcopal Church from the er- ors of Puseyism. Lay up treasure hereafter—he will never have a chance to do it here. Triat or Hory.—It is going on at Baltimore. Che proof establishes the finding of the body of falinda Horn, the prisoner's wife, ttt up in jeces, and erribly bruised, and at the same time the discovery ot tis clothes, bloody , and exhibiting every evidence of his saving been the or of her death, Evacuation Day—Tue Srreers—Scene iv TH Mayor’s Orrice—Goop News.—This is the 25th of November, and therefore Evacuation Day. In accordance with the customs of our city, it will be observed asa holiday, and the military will pa- rade under Gen, Sanford. And we learn that a stand of colors will be presented by the Mayor, on behalf of the Corporation, to Col. Stewart’s regiment, with addresses on both sides, we pre- sume. The following brief dialogue occurred yes- terday morning in the Mayor's office, between his Honor the Mayor and William Gage, Superinten- dent of streets. Enter Mr. Gage--- Svursaintenvent oF StkKETS.—I see by the advertise: ments that your Honor has ordered the cartmen and hacks ke, to ‘out of certain streets when the procession is to pass. But does the Mayor know that the mud in these streets is nearly half leg , and therefore impassable to an) but thecavalry? ‘avon Mornis— Well, Mr. Gage, ain’t you the Superin- tendent of Streets sph don’t you clean them ? Surenivrenpent or Staeets—Why, if your Honor please, under the new ramet Tonly have command of sixteen carts for the whole city ; and with these | am required to cart away all the coal ashes—clean all the markets—collect all the garbage—load all the manure into the versels, &c. and it’s totally impossible with only six. teen carts for me to do all this work. Mayor—Well, then, where are the Ward Inspectors? Why don't they do their duty, and keep the streets clean, according to law? SvureninteNDENT oF StREKTS—Well, you Honor, they can’t do it, for t ae d to cart the dirt at one shilling a load, and it can’t be done for that price—it don’t bis Prelim! Mavon—(Getting excited)—Why, Mr. Gage, you don’t mean to tell me that there is no way provided ‘by law, in which you Superintendents and Inspectors can keep the streets clean. Svurrrintenornt—Yes, I do, indeed—there is no way according to the present ordinances of the Common Coun- cil—and what’s more the streets will be all the time grow- ing worse and worse till the next Charter Election. Mavon—(Highly excited)—Then. by —— the Common Council shall pass the proper ordinances or—[the Mayor broke off short, but looked as if he was going to add—I’ll join the American Republican party, and we'll turn them all out neck and heels at the next Charter Election.)—But Mr. Gage what’s to be done to-morrow (Saturday, 25th) — how are the troops to get through the streets? Surerintenpentr—I don’t know, indeed; the mud is all wet as itcan be, and even if it were dry, there are not carts enough in the city to carry it all off in season fur to- morrow. Mavorn—Here’s the devil to pay—the streets with the mud half leg deep—the troops to march through them to-mor- row—andno means of cleaning them, I say, Mr. Gage, you must do something—-do you understand Surxeintenpeyt—I understand your Honor, that I must either lose my office, or clean the streets. (The Mayor shrugs his shoulders) —Through what streets does the procession pass? Mayor.—Where’s the First Marshal ?—(Enter Mr. Clark.) What streets does the military: pass through to- morrow, Mr. Clark? First. Marsuat.—From the Battery through White- hall, Broadway, Warren, (by Gen, Sandford's house,) Wert Broadway, Chambers, Centre—entering the Park at the east Sureninres ‘Well, your Honor, all I can do will be to put onall the hands that can be raised, and excavate a passage through the mud in the middle of those streets, so that the military can march through without danger to their live: side.—This wet mud will probably freeze in the gutters before it can dry and be carted off, and so lie there till next charter election, I'll go and join the Ame- rican Republicans.] Mavor.—Very well, see that you do it—Exit Superin- tendent. From the above scene it appears that certain parts of three or four streets are to be—not cleaned, but the central parts of them, like a canal, are to be excavated for the passage of the military to-day. This is good news, and probably the only good news under this head which we shall be able to chronicle during the present administration of the city government. The streets have never within our knowledge been so overwhelmed with mud as at this present time. There will be a change, how- ever, after next charter election. Escare From Poison.—We learn that the result of Mr. Chilton’s analyzation of the currants, beef, &c. taken from on board the Sheffield, is, that the potash had poisoned them all. The Mayor will, therefore, order them all to be destroyed. We look upon this as one of the most providential escapes that our city has met with for a long time. It is impossible to imagine the fearful consequences which would have followed the retail, and eating of'so much poison by all classes of our citizens, and especially the children and youth. Mustcat.—Mr. Dempster gives one of his delight- ful ballad soirees this evening, at the Society Libra- ry Concert Room. Hewill sing his most popular ballads and songs, and must have a crowded room. Ole Bull, as every body knows, makes his first ap- pearance at the Park this evening. The audience will be one of the most crowded and fashionable ever congregated within the walls of old Drury.— The greatest excitement has been produced by the arrival of this great artist,and we have no doubt that the brilliant reputation which has preceded him will be fully sustained. Signora Castellan, Mad. Spohr Zahn, and An- tognini, take part ina Grand Musical Festival, at the Tabernacle, next week, for the benefit of the Female Free School, under the patronage of the Sisters of Charity of St. Peter's. Nimro’s.—The successful performances of the first night are to be giventhis evening. Mr. Stone is a most daring and graceful equestrian, and has introduced a new style of horsemanship that bids fair to establish him as one of the most active riders of the day. The horses appear to be uncommonly well trained, and with their new trappings and ac- coutrements, will, no doubt, become ‘ favorite performers.” The new entrées are well conceived, and executed with great precision. Mr. Rockwell has hit upon the only method to make a Circus successful. He has secured the best location in the city—the best equestrian wardrobe, and a first rate company. Cuatnuam Tneratre.—The manager has before him a ripe harvest in readiness for the gathering, in the production of the Mysteries of Paris, The dra. matic powers of Mr. Greeley have, in its production, been fully tested, and found not wanting, and the extraordinary capabilities of the company have been tasked to the extreme in the excellent manner in which the piece has been gotten up. Much eredit is due to Messrs. McMillan and Torrens, the ma- chinists and Mr. Hielge, the artist, for the perform. ance of their arduous duties. To-night the greatest of New York holidays, the anniversary of the Eva- cuation, will be celebrated by a repetition of the new drama. Several dances by Miss Rallia, and the Pretty Girls of Stillburg. American Museum.—This establishment, is con- nected with all our patriotic associations—indeed, it would not be easy to celebrate the Fourth of July, or this Evacuation Day, without it. From its roof_and balconies we get the best view of the processions; on its outside we have flags, illumina- tions and fireworks, and within every sort of pretty umusement. ne ht gy ome will be at the museum, and as she is the leader and fortune teller of the first Bohemian family that ever arrived inthis cor » she will attract much attention. he advertisement contains a great variety %of per- formances. (cg Professor Bronson and Mr. Nash will lee- ture, recite, and sing in Brooklyn Lyceum, this evening, and dissect the Mannikin, Among the recitations and songs, are Genevra, and John Adams’ supposed Speech on the Declaration. Also, Russell's “I’m afloat,” “Blow gently, sweet Afton,” and “Land of the free.” See the advertisement. Fenrone Coorgr vs. Cor. Wenn.---Col.
