Notwithstanding the threatening and disagréea- ble aspect of the wéatlier, a tremendous assemblage of the Native or Reform Party took place in Wall street, opposite the Merchants’ Exchange, at 2 o’clotk, yesterday afternoon. Never since the oc- casion on Which Mr. Webster delivered his great speech on whig principles las Wall street witness- ed such a multitudinous gathering. The street was almost completely blocked up by the dense crowds, so that the passage of vehicles was almost altogether impassible. All in front of the Exchange and on the opposite sidewalk was thronged by masses of human beings, extending the whole length of the block. There was a fair representa- tion of all classes of the citizens—merchants, me- chanics, tradesmen, sailors, butchers and cartmen, modberate—cdsh in ad- PRINTING of all kinds executed at the most moderate Price, and in the most elegant at GAMES GORDON SeNNETT, Prorniztor of THe Henauo Estapuisument, Northwest corner of Fulton and Nassau streets.

(Cheers.) We know how to pratect our institutions. Itell you ye hardy sons of Columbia that ye are quite willing that whoever wil!s, may embark and pay his passage to our country, but we also proclaim that no man shall run up the Irish ‘over the American flag. Ihave often heard it remurked, forsooth, that aman should not be made pay taxes without a voice in the legislature. ‘There are many hard things and dis- agreeable that must be borne besides this, and 1 have proved it.

I believe that it is not a sectarian book, and I wish not to live till the day when it shall be excluded from our citizens.— (Cheers.) We do not want to look lightly at this matter. We are here to reason on it—to talk over it.

On a certain occa- sion of its being acted in England, an occurrence took place, as follows : In the play the British officers are re- presented in force, and there is brought before him a pri- soner, who is asked, ‘'What are you!” ‘A cobbler,” he replies. Another is brought in, snd he says he is a tailor. Many are the jests cracked at ‘the expense of the Ameri- soldiers and their answers, when all at once the voice ilor, fr m the gallery, turns the tables by saying— “Great Britain thrashed by cobblers and tailors, by — (Great laughter and enthusiastic applause.) I glory him who is in his heart an American citizen! We sa to all the world,come among us if you will, but let us rule ourselves; let us manage the household. '(Applause.) 1 am glad to see this meeting; its result will be that all Rta parties will be swallowed up in it, and that J. Harper will be elected as Mayor for our great eity by 21,000 votes In the mean time, I will tell you a little story about the pups. (Great laughter.) A nian in Front street had the other day born by his bitch three little puppies, one of which he called ““ Whig,” the other “Democrat,” and the other, ‘Native American.” A neighbor of his comin in, fancied one of them, and asked for it. ‘0 no,” said the owner, ‘thatjis Whig, you cannot have that ‘ere pup.” “Oh, just'the thing I like,” says the other. “Oh, well,” says the owner, “he’s too young; he was only born yes. terday, but come ina day er two, and you'll get. him Back he comes in about three weeks with a basket, for the pup, and says, “ Now let me have that ‘ere little fellow with the black spot near his eye.” “Oh no, you cannot have him.” “Why that’s Whig, ain’t it?” " No,” says the other, “that’s Native American.” “Why,” said the visitor, “when Iwas here before, you called him Whig.” “ Ali true, my friend,” says the other, “but he had’nt got his eyes opened then; now he has, and he is not Whig, he ig Native American.” (Roars 'of laughter) Now, gen. tlemen, we are getting our eyex open, and I think we will ali be Native Americans. (Terrific cheering) Be fo, fellow citizens; join us, ana we will without tail, re form every office in our city, from the common treet sweeper to that of Mayor. (Loud cheering, and three cheers more.) Loud shouts being now raised for “ Samons”—" Sa- mons” - Mr. Sammons accordingly stepped forward and said— Fellow-citizens, I now respend to your call, on this occa- sionwhich is no common one.Bothwhig and democrat have endeavored, have vainly attempted to crush the Native American party, but itis now beyond their grasp. But a very few months have elapsed since it was designated but aricketty bantling ; now you behold it Sruhing both parties ontheone side and the other. But'a few months ago, and what then took place?

The time has come when they dis- cover that Americans, knowing their rights will maintain them. (Cheers.) What did I see a few nights ago? | went to see the great meeting at the National Hall, and what do you think we heard there? We were there told that whilst we, the Native American party professed to go for reform, it was a hollow promise—that while we of fered to save in refor at least half a million of dollars, they could save a million by their plans. Who believes that? No body of any sense. We charge them with being enemies to all reform, and the friends of abuse ‘And what do [ see at Tammany Hall? I see your Mayor, a lawyer of some distinction, confessing judgment on ali our charges. We have charged the Common Council of this eity with studying their own benefit instead of that of the public for years, and they confess it. We have now a etition in this city coming irom them praying the Legis- lature to reform our city charter. They are too late in the day, ‘They tell zn they want tojteke the power ont of the hands of the Common Council which they have abused ; but honor to the people, their doom is sealed In- stead of changing the power they say the Common Coun- cil has abused—they pray the Legislature to take it away, Just see the anblushing impudence—the base system of fraud and deception that the political partivs practice on the eve of the election and immediately after it.— They will commit all sorta of plunder and make you pay for its perpetration. My friends, what 1 tell you, you all know to have been the history ot the movements for the last few weeks of both parties ; | ask you as intelligent and thinking men, whether you be- lieve that either the whigs or democrats, even if hovest in jheir professions, could bring about reform ? dare not. They dare not do it. Why? Because the presiden- tial election comes next fall, and which ever of them gets the city, they are bound to plunder in order to carry on their projects for the Presidency—(cheers.) They ask for the small sum of $1,900,000 to carry on the expenses of the city government—one-eleventh as much as the whole general expenses of the National Government of the Uni- ted Stater, exclusive of $700,000 to pay the interest on our Croton debt And what have they given yon for that $1,900,000? Streets so filthy that the Irish themselves might plant their potatoes in the middle of them—(Roare of laughter) And if you goto their police department, you will find that the rogues who have plundered t most money, escape the most readily, always supposin however, that they have paid a large per centage to the officera—(Cheers and laughter.) ‘This same Common Council having been all winter in session, at the last hour take up a bill, which the very member who presents it, admits is not the best possible,and why? In order that their friends in the legislature may give them the power to elect for the next four years the very persons who have so longGabused the privilegesconferred [upon them. My triends, you cannot be deceived. These reformers now think to humbug, to deceive, to delude you. but when they do that they know full well that on the 9th of April the power to do so any longer will depart from them. ‘Their acta prove more conclusively than all the speech that could be made, that they know that if justice is done them,you will execute, on the 9th of April, that judgment which a righteous people soener or later pronounces on faithless and wicked servants—(cheers) There is no need of long speeches. ‘The time has come for action, and in that action I only regret that there are American citizens in the whig and democratic ranks who have so far forgotten that which they owe to their country, #8 to permit themselves to be made the tools of their own com- mittees and run against their country. If it were possi- ble for either of the candidates of the whig and democra- tic party to be elected, that election would veal the suc coasful candidate's fate in future. He never could after. wards get the vote of an American Republican citizen of New York—(cheers.)

Seward, or the partythat carried it through in compliance with the auda- cious demands of Bishop Hughes. The infamous course of this thievish, truckling Common Council will be pu fied by the majority of our people. (Cheera—it wil “itwill”) Be not biarl by talk about the Presidential election ; it has nothing to do with the election of our municipal officers ; do not then be led away by their jug- gling tricks about the ‘People’s Ticket,” ‘Van Buren,” or‘ Clay.” Let us go for reform and nothing but reform, and defence of the constitation against foreign influences.

Portable Ol Ga: Mr. Bennett :— Tn complying with the request of the gas consumers of this city, which a d ety highly esteemed. paper, the ** Ne York He- rald,” of the 26th instant, s,tned ‘A Citizen,” the insertion of these few particuict®, in_ connection with those already published on tng 25th ult., will greatly oblige the subscriber. Mr, Crrizex—In compliance with your rcquest contained in this paper of 26th inst., for your’s »."¢ the public’s information, I will state some more of the particular advantages which a portable oil gas company would have over those of the New York and Manhattan Companies of this city. First, an act of incorporation is all that 1s necessary to form a company, and to carry it into operation; and, as no favors are required of the corporation of this city, they cannot have any control over the com- pany in any way; and, as street mains are not used for the conveyance of gas, all such expense is public, and red im your avoided the average cost of which is near 4000 per mile; and as a. contract with the {Common Councils of this city is not necessary, consequently a portable © oil gar company cannot be compelled to lay street maint, or to light any public lamps, at a sacrifice, for their accommodation, as is the ease with the other gas compani The New York Company are bound Wi their contract to lay street mains, and light public lamps in all and every street in the cit wurtlrark {wnat wan dalle mndenrye sghvab jt ahell the same cost and charge as the common oil lamps now in use. The Manhattan Company receive fifteen dollars for each lamp, and lighting the same from Grand to Sixth street. See document of the Common Council, No. 48, March 16, 1825. And, as a portable oil gas establishment is 0 much more compact than, those of rosin or coal, less than one half the premises occupied by such establishments will be ample for portable gas. And also the gas metre ; this very offensive machine is not used, therefore the rent of it is saved to the consumer, and also the unpleasantness of that mode of collec- tion avoided. Every person can know to a frac- tion the cost of his lights before he begins, or daily, or weekly, if he pleases; and not one half the pense for fixtures required for lighting as with other gag, consequently the rent or cost is reduced in pro- portion. The vessel containing the gas can be fitted to any of the gas fixtures now in use, or cart be taken fo any part of a house or building with- out difficulty; no charge whatever being made to the consumer for the use of such veesel or gas holder. And as there can be no restrictions what- ever, all parts of the city willbe eligible to light with portable gas, as well as Harlem, the cities of Brooklyn and’ Jersey, or any other city or place manutactory, or private house, that is easy of ac ess by steamboat or railroad, in any part of the Union; and can be conveyed with as much ease and safety as any package of merchandise what- ever; and the steamboat, railear, or coach, can at 1e same time be also lighted. And considenng the advantage of being able to light every part ¢ this city as above stated, a very great interest would be paid on the eapital expended, far beyond that of the other companies, the Manhattan in par- ticular.
