The cannonade from the Battery then com- menced their pealsof artillery, which were respond- ed to from the audience with loud and enthusiastic cheers. The chair was occupied by the Hon. B. F. Bur- gr, and the preceedings commenced at 7 o’clock precisely. ‘The Honorable B. F. Butter here camo forward and was received with deafening applause. He said, he es teemed it a high henor thus to be called upon by the sut trages of the Democracy of New York, to preside at so numerous and respectable a meeting, such as had been assembled on that evening. He trusted they would re ceive his grateful thanks tur the honor they had conterred, and not wishing to detain them at any length, he would be permitted to cali their attention to the circumstances under Which they had teen convened, and which brough together such a vast assemblage of the Democracy of New York. (Tremendous applause.) ‘Tho meeting had been convened by the several Van Buren Ward Aasocia- tions— (Loud cheering)—which were formed in the seve- ral wards of the city. The purpose for which the pre- sont call was made Was to give another impulse like that which they had giventwo weeks ago at the great ratifici tion meeting, waich had responded to the glorious nomi nations of Folk and Dallas. (Tremendous cheers.) It was bat three weeks since the nomination of these gentlemen, issued tcom the Monumental city; and that nomination had already received the respon- sea not only ot the democracy of New York, but of the entire Union. (limmense and loud applause which lasted for sometime.) 1t was responded to not only by their own city, but all over the length and breadth of their extended land,trom North to Sout, from the rocky shores of New England to the prairies of the “Far We: (Loud cheering.) ‘It was such & response as would exercise a vast control over the destinies of the world. (Tremendous cheers) From the sequestered hamlets it would pass to the villagen and would be responded to by every true friend of Democracy. (Cheers) ‘The peculiar circum- stances under which they had brought forth their can didutes, was truly gratifying to their Democratic triends— it was like Jight shining in the darkness, dispelling gloom and lighting up hope ia the bosom of every true nearted Democrat. (Vocsterous and prelonged applause) It was a pledge to the Union that the harmony and the unitea energy of the Democracy was a sure harbinger of success (Cheers) ‘The impulse which bad been given appealed to every man’s mind present; but the romiuations appealed to every friend of the Democratic pasty through- out the land ; and it they did their duty in every part of the Union they were destined to go forward and triumph (Cheers.) ‘They would extend this teeling trom villoge to village, and he would impress upon the minds of his iriends what had been one thousand times told them before ; wud they should never forgetit, “the price of liberty is eter- nai vigilance.” (I'remendous cheering.) They were, too, contending against such u foe as rendered it imperative upon them to beon the alert, fighting the battle of the constitution and of liberty, [t was in support of such principles that the minds of the Democracy ot the Union were engaged. ‘I'wo weeks age in the Park they wished to show thir opponents that they were sincere—whole- hearted in the matter—and that they went lor the nomi: tion made at Baltimore, under any circumstances. (Cheers) With whole hearts they were determined to support the nomination. The energivs of the De mocracy of New York would be brought to bear on tne contest and the successiul carrying out of the nom: natioa, would depend in a great measure on those who ad called together the meeting. ‘Lhe various Associa tions that had combined,were formed last ycar in the hope that the man whose name they bore (Van Buren)—(Loud cheers)—was to be the candidate of their choice at Balu. ‘ore; but although the Associutions, and the candidate emanating from them,ibore the name of this distinguished democrat; yet they were heart aad soul fur the nomina tion of the Baltimore Convention— (Cheers ) These very principles were embodied i their articles of Association, “that while they expressed their prelerence for the indivi dual whose name they bore, they would at the same time go fur the candidate that should be selected at the Bulti- «nore Conveution”—(Leud cheering ) ‘They were ready to redeem their pledgea—(cheers)—and show to their de mocratic brethren of the West, and the South—to those who passed the Virginia Kesolut.ons in 1798—that though there may sometimes exist differences between them as to men, yet when principles were set torth,they go as one for the candidate pledged to support those principles. (Great cheers) Thus it was that they would show the country from Long Island to Niagara, from Connecticut to the borders of Pemnaylvania, that the nomination of the Balti more Convention would be responded to by the democracy cf New York, so as to insure the triumphant return o1 Polk and Dallas throughout the Unien ('remendous ap- plause and cheers, amid which a cannon was fired off by « company of sailors who joined the meeting ) ‘Tne Honorable Mr. Bruincxennorr, of Onio, then spoke as tollows:—Fellow Citizens—I have neither vanity nor olly enough to suppose—(The speaker was here unable to proceed, owing to a scene of the most noisy and uproa rious description; an individual immediately behind the pla became very noisy, and the cries of “turn him out”—“‘shove him off”—"no you dont,” drowned every- thing except the crash of the railing separating the speak- er from the crowd. At tength something like quiet wa» obtained, and Mr. B. proceeded ]_ Gentlemen, | was about to say; (interruption for a considerable time.) Fellow Citizens, I was about to say, when I was interrupted by the confusion that those manifestations of welcome with which you greeted my appearance, are not connected with myself personally, but when I see such a man itestation of good will towards the democracy of the State I represent, I feel doubly anxious to show that they are deserved. (cheers) I have stood by your great and favorite statceman through good and evil report and hand in hand with your delegation, and if in that | acted a worthy representative of the democracy of my State, and deserving of your approbation, | am happy in receiving it, (loud cheers.) Gentlemen, though bredand born in the’ southern part of your State, this ix the first visit I ever made to your metropolis, (cries of three cheers for B—,) and in coming here for the first time, not for the purpose of making speeches to you, I feel that iny arrival is in the most favorable moment for sucing one of the mighty Jaovements of 5 our indomitable democra- cy, (immense applause.) You have our admiration—our respect—our gratitude. You are entitled toit. I'll tell you why ; youre the men, (cheering and roars of laughter.) Long file to the Locofocos of New York, (prolonged cheering ) ‘That is the word—the Locofocos—you are the men who re-illumine the spark that first emanated from the immortal mind of Wm. Leggett, (tremendous cheers, and cries of “three cheers for Wm. Leggett”)—that spark that served as a pillar of fire both by night and by day, to ide our democracy to victory over the noxious spirit of fegisiation, ‘As the-friends of that great and good man, of which each century.gives us but one specimen in the histery of the world, 1 tell you that the democracy of Ohio, love, admire, and tnank you. (Applause) Yes, gentlemen, the little leaven done tip by you, the loco facor of New York, with Leggett at your head, has done a grent work; has leavened the whole lamp. (Renewed ap- planae.) But, gentlemen, | said before that! did not come to makea speech. (Cries of “Goon, goon.”) As | said belore, Van Buren was the only, the last choice of the de- mocracy of Ohio. (Immense cheering and waving of hats ) But, gentlemen, circumstances have made it necessary to forego that choice—and I have but to pointto you what is there inscribed upon one of the proud banners that adorn these walls, ‘ Our country’s good before our individual mcos.” (Great cheering ) That is the feeling of the democracy of my State, and if | can believe what | learn from confidential letters, I think the whole State, from the great lakes to the little empire of Michigan, is in faove ofjthat (resolve. (Loud cheering and cries of “Well go it”)” There never was a time we were so united and confident of victory. (cheers ) Why, gentle men, it is not only so in Ohio, butevery place. | have just left Washington, where, a few months ago, we were ‘a very despondent set of fellows. (Laughter.) ' Now we havo brightened up—I caynot say with that is too tame a word—for even now the enemy in vanquished.— Wisat have you to fight 7. I wish you could see the fold ing-room of the House of Representatives the other day when Congress broke up. (Great laughter.) What piles of bills, documents, luggage and Ls ag (Laughter ) Every railroad carrin ‘age coach, and steamboat loaded down with them. My God, what expend: ing of ammunition for nothing! (Langhter) The lies that were spouted about them never ceased until many of the most knowing began to believe them them- selves, Now you can purchase them os w what you are willing to give. (Cheers and laughter.) Yes, © Othello’s occupation’s gone,” (laughter,) and the worst of all is, that James K, Polk and Gvorge M. Dallas are men whom malice and slander and the most ingenious falsehood can say nothing against. (Great cheering ) It was indeed for a moment said by their enemies—knowing and seeing the bloody han‘s of their own candidate—that Polk was a duellist; but they had to retract it within forty-eight hours, aod then that libel rests in the tomb of the Capulets.” ‘(Loud applause.) {Political principles, gentlemen, are important, and our people are attached to them ; but they have moral and religious principles als end with them, and a candidate like James K Polk, whose blameless conduct, kindners of heart, and unsullied repu- tation, and Henry Clay—ail covered with the slime ot moral corruption as their foe—(Marks of sensation and loud cheering = say, under these circumstances we must and will succeed. (Applause) Now, gents, this is all [ have got to say to you. ‘This is our first meeting, and Tbope it will not be the last. Iam going home to work, and with hope too— for the succese of your favorite states- man. (Prolonged cheering.) Mr. Buri eupon came forward, and said he had a pleasing duty to perform in introducing to the meeti a well known and honored friend to their cause and th porty—the Honorable Silak Wright. (Loud and prolong: ed cheers) He should refrain trom making any state- ment in reference to their distinguished triend that would ocenpy their attention at any length; but it was well Known how strong the feelings of the Democracy of the city of New York were on one ygint, nomely : that in the event of their withdrawin, name of their favorite, the uame of Silas Wright shouldbe substituted and_pre- sented at the Baltimore Convention. The neme of Mr. Wright was presented immediately on the withdrawal of the name of their favorite candidate ; but when it was suggested by the Delegation, the Hon. Mr. Flinn, one of the Delegates of the State of New York, informed the meeting that he hada letter from Mr. Wright, which e plained his determination not to accept the nomin ation in the? event of Mr. Van Buren’s rejection, ina manner the most honorable to his head and heart. The letter of Mr Weight explained very warmly the pri- vate friendship which had existed between Mr. Van Bu. ren and Mr. Wright for so long a period. The name of James K Polk, when it was selected, was cordially ap. proved by Mr. Wright. (Cheering) Mr. B.here detail- ed the particulars in connection with the Mr.Wright’s no- mination as candidate for the Vice Presidency, and after passing a high eulogy on his sacrifice of personal ambi- tion for the suke of principle, concluded. The Honorub’e Siuas Waiaat stepped forward and was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers. He said Fellow citizens—After seven morths absence in the discharge of the duties of the trust reposed in me, | have again the extreme gratificationof being per- mitted to return amongst you. We go in the dis- chargefof our duties as members of Congress, far from your sight and far from your counsel. We should return, notto advise you, but to be advised by you—not to in- struct those whose pee we are, but to be"instructed by them—(a voice—“ that’s good blican doctrine”)— (cheers.) In the very few remarks it is my purpose to Submit, to you, I shell confine myself principally to such matters as may be personal and local to ourselves and our $ ate, or to such facts aa it may be of interest for you to know, without attempting to forestall your judg- ment upon questions upon which you have not aready pro- nousced. The remarks which have fallen from our ‘res- pected friend. in introducing me to this stand, render it my duty, as I conceive, to say what I am not much ac lomed to say before assemblages of this description—a few words about myself. I hope they may be very few. In reference to the idea that m: name was ever to be presented to the American people as a candidate for the highest office in thie govern- ment I beg you to be red that never, for one moment, have I been vain enough to aspire to that lofty trust; and while it is true that | did place in ‘the hand ef the delegate to the Balttmore Con- veition from my own district, a letter unequivocally pro- hibiting the use of my name for that oitice, it was done because I was assured—kindly assured by friends, that there was a disposition on the part of some delegations in that Cenvention, in case of the failure to nominate Mr. Van Buren, to attempt to use my name. Did I do right, fellow citizens ? (Cheers and cries of “Yes ”) I did. And { myself most heartily reapond to your affirmative answer. (Cheers) Dever had you—never had the democracy of the State indicated a disposition in a choice to bestow such a trast upon me, and until they had done so, I should have been asking that which in my judgment no man has aright to assume—that [ was permitted to place myself before aconvention of the democracy of the Union, and attempt to gain anomination atthe polis. (Cheers.) ‘That wax enough. But, fellow citizens, | was estopped from a stronger reason, ' You had—you, democratic brethren, throughout the State had, wit peculiar unenimity, and none more heartily than my: Jesignated another of our distinguished democrats os tho firet choice for the first office in the countr, (A voice—* Three cheers for old Matty.” Laughter.) Enough on that topic Andeo with reepert ta the nomination for the second office in the government, Which was tendorea tone in @ manner so generous—so magnanimous as to be entinwa tw my everlasting thanks—and these feelings of gratitude | feel, and have attempted toexpress to that body as lnow do to you—yet I felt myself no more at liberty to accept that honor than the former, had it been offered; and one reason peculiarly strong interposed itself with agency. It was anew question. 1 refer to--th tion of Texas to the United States. (Three ch Texas—and Mike Walsh shouted out—" Texas we must have by —-—,” followed by much cheering, whilst the flag of ‘Texas evidently by a preconcerted movement was ru eee floated over the chair.) Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Ww t continued, had upon the call of that Convention, addressed to the public a letter giving his opinions on that question, That letter was not accepta- ble to a large portion of the democracy of the country. (Cheers) The opinions he entertained con. stituted one, and a principal one, of the objections to his nomination, Upon the most mature consideratien of the subject, with all the information | did possess, or was able to collect, [ was compelled to approve of his letter in my judgment.—(Chi ‘and cheers for Texas.) _[‘« Why did you vote against Texas,was here shouted by Wike Walsh cliciting renewed cheering.} At the time of the sitting of the Convention I had made up my mind—I had no instruc- tions from you or from those whom I represented Our stute had never scted npon that question | was left to form iny own jndgment of its merits. That judgment was that {Could not vote for the treaty then presented to the Sen- ate. [Mike Walsh—“ When were you so insiructed ?’ Partial cheering, and slight confusion } ‘That conclusion soon to come. It could not be known to the conven lion, and it would have been unfair on my part to accept a nomination when [ believed that act would meet the lis»pprobation at least of a la ge proportion of that body (slight cheering) Promptly, then, I declined the nomia ation on that ground Another point influenced me strongly, and I'mention it because | fear 1 may be sub. jected to the accusation that iff” of feeling influenced me because my favorite candidate had not been selected. It | know myself, no such fveling was present in me at the am mt. (Cheers.) But I did feel that if wand the great body of the democracy of the State d selected tnd sent up to that respectable body, representing the jewocracy of the whole country, a prefurence for a lidate for the first office, and when that can date had not been selected—I did not feel that 1 had sume either that | was your choice for the second office in the people’s gift, or that I had a right to designate that man. I felt turther—and if 1 erred, you certainly ought to know it, and I certainly stand respon- le for the error—tI feared, that we might be charged as required the second nomination to conciliate us to the support of the first, differing as it did from that which you preterred. (Cheers) And never—no never, fellow: citizens, could I consent to be subjected to such a suspi ion, much less could [subject your patriotism and at- hment to the democratic cause and its principles, to nan imputation. I desired te leave you free, knowing, or at least acting under the impression, that my democra- tic brethren throughout the State would honorably and ardently redeem the pledge they had ever made that they would support the nominations of the convention. (Loud cheers.) [desire that your support should be given in nd not from te paper for had been placed upon the ticket. that it will be so, and that Polk and Dallas will receive as cordial a support as would Mr. Van Buren or any other may in the country—(very feeble cheers) Enough then, as fur myself and ourselves, and if you will pardon me for avery few moments longer, (go on—go on,) while [ speak to you of 1 acquaintance with James K.

It is our unpleasant duty to record a transection which tis morning transpired in this city, which was attended by the most sad and tragic result, — We have made more than usuel efiorts to obtain all the facts of the case, and thal! now briefly pre- sent them to cur readers, as recited lo us, by those most favorably situated toobtain the truth, entirely irrespective of the numberless rumors—each more or less vain and preposterous—which are in cireu- lation throughout the cuy " This morning, between the hours of eight and nine, Epwaxp Forp, a shoemaker by trade, who has his shop on Fourth street, opposite the Court House, accompanied by one of bis workmen, named Rich- ard Welsh fed at the Auction Room of Messrs, Peek & Low, at the northwest corner of Main and Walous streets, and an interview with Mr. Low, whom they met, was requested by Mr. Ford. The request Was granted, and the three persons repaired together to th. cifice of Lr. Myers, a lew reds dis- taut, on Walnut sireet; at which place Mr Low had lodgings. On reaching the office, the door was found lock- ed. Mr. Low returned alone to hisAucuon Koom, aud shortly came back with a key, with which the door was opened, when the parties entered the trent room, and the door was again closed, Mr. Low then seated himself on a chair, Mr, Ford sat upon a trunk, aod Mr. Welsh remained standing — In the room tothe right was a bed, a bureau, a mur ror, We , sereened by a curtain; on the lett, a wine dow looking into a yard—in the rear, a door lead- ing into a buck passage, and in trontthe street-ene trance and a window, both opening on Walnut st. The parties being thus situated, Mr. Ford ed- dressed himself to Mr. Low—stated that his daugh- ter was enceinte—had been so tor some nonthe— that Low was the father—that he had sent ber to Ny ns—that he had lett her at Ste Gene Monday morning from on board the ai, yesterday, he had returned to this city on the “National” without her. ile then asked Mr..Low what, under these cir- ances, he proposed doing—Did he design marrying bis daught The reply was considered unsatistactory, and was somewhat to the eflect, that he did not regard the matter os any business ot Ford’s, and that if he had come with a yurpose to make it so, he had better reure. Frem this, high words are suid to have ensued. Welsh, who is the sole witness, of the interview, told us that he strove to pacify the parties, but unsuccessfully; and she was turning his aside to go cut, a pistol was fired by Ford. The ball struck Mr. Low, who was sull seated, and near the buck window, in the ceutre of the forehead somewhat obliquely, and he instantly fell to the floor. The pistol is an erdinar pocket weupon, some 6 or 8 inches in length, with a slugged bore—the barrel connected to the handle by ascrew,and carrying @ ball of perhaps.an weight. The weapon was drawn by Mr. trom the right pocket of his pantaloons, and was discharged at a distance of some 5 or 6 teet. ‘This event transpired about haif past eight o'clock, ‘The report of the pistol brought persons in the neigh- berhood und street-passers into the room, and surgical ait was immediately summoned. Ford at once surrendered himseif into the bands of Welsh ; and, together, they re- paired to the Recorder's office, where they gave up them- selves (0 Mr, Priddy, the City Marshal.

At about 11 o'clock, we saw the parties with their legal counsel, Mr. Blennerhas- sett, at Major We and there learned the facts wh The examination of Ford wis postponed until this afternoon at 3 o'clock ; and, we suppose, it will depend somewhat upon the situation of Mr. Low, at that tune, whether at is then held. Neither Ford nor his friend Welsh seemed to betrey much agitation, and the former was considered by the by - standers as remarkably calm and collecte Prior to visiting the office of the Justice, we passed an hour at the room on Walnut street, where the assault was made, and where was the wounded man.
