This offer was, that he, General Napier, should “take an active part in an armed attempt to over- throw the government, or, at least, to drive the tories from power, so that the whigs might take their places, and obtain the control of the spoils of office. General Nepier having declined to be- come a party to the revolution, the whigs, 1; appears, requested him to return to them the letter which they had addressed to him on the subject. He refused doing so, stating, at the same, that he should never develope its contents, or allow them to be mede public, unt:! the whigs should capitally prosecute a Briush subject for the offence of which they themselves were guilty, The whigs having done 0, in the case of Mr. Smith O’Brien and others, recently, in Ireland, General Napier thought the me had arrived when this extraordi naty ¢fler to him should be made pnblic, and ac- cordingly be published it in the Irish papers, much no dovbt, to the chagrin and mortification of the members of the government. The exposure of Young’s letter presents, at | one view, the most conclusive proof that al the agitations that have taken place in Eng- land within the last twenty years, were either fomented or originated by the government for its own purposes—we mean by the par- ty in power at the time. Hence, then, it follows | of August last. Viocatina TRE City Orpinances — Diaty Strsxrs.—It would appear that our city authorities are proof against all remonstrances. The condition of the streets of this city has been so frequently commented on 1n the public press, that it is morally impossible a single member of either board of our Common Council can be ignorant of the public feeling upon this subject. Yet, week after week are their meetings held, and their stereotype rou- tine business transacted, and not a single word is uttered, nor a single effort made, to remedy th crying grievance. What can be the cause of this? thousands of dollars are annually appropriated by "he Common Council for cleaning our streets, and no care whatever taken that the work 1s done ? It is high time that his Honor, the Mayor, and the honorable body who compose the municipal authorities, chould be summarily arraigned, and made to account for their delinquencies by the public, whose interests they swore to look after on their entrance to office, but which they have so shamelessly and pertinaciously neglected. We are aware that there is a great outcry raised about the impunity with which the city are twelve hundred suits of this kind ‘in pro- gress” in the office of the Corporation Attorney, all of which have been commenced since the 5th But why should this be the case ? Why should these or any other giolations of the Corporation ordinances be ‘in progress” any where? Is there not a penalty attached to each violation of these laws? and has not the mayor, or the justices, the power to inflict it summarily 2? If such be not the case, this power should be con- ferred, for it is a perfect farce to hear of the Cor- poration Attorney’s office being filled with suits “ci progress” for a violation of the Corporation ordinances. We did expect that the universal indignation which the dirty, disgusting condition of our streets had excited in the breasts of all—residents as well as foreigners—would have urged our municipal bodies to some little exertion to have the evil abated. But it is useless to expect any change in | the men now in office. The Ethiepian might be | as soon expected to change his skin as the filthy | Corporation that now presides over the destinies ot New York, be expected to take any steps to re- move the foul, fetid, and miasmatic atmosphere which they have so long and so passively per- mitted their constituents to breathe and die in. It is no defence to say that the streets are as clean now as they were last year, or ten years ago, or before the present contracts. body cannot discharge the duties which they have so ardently solicited and so cheerfully accepted, let them resign; men will be found to fill taeir and uninfluenced by political partialities, will do their duty to the satisfaction of their fellow citizens. We know of only one further remedy by which the present authorities can be forced to do their duty, viz.: for the triends of any of those unfortu- nate beings who fall victims to fever, or any other of those diseases which are caught from mias- matic and putrid exhalations, to summon the coroner to hold an inquest over their bodies; and should it appear, from the investigation, that the disease was caught from the putrid vegetable or animal matter which is to be found in almost every street in the city, or from filthy, uncleansed against the Mayor and Corporation, in proportion to the value of the services of the individual, sup- posing him to survive till a natural oldage. There can be no doubt inthe world but the authorities are morally and justy chargeable with the death of many of these individuals; and were we upon the jury to try them, we should, in many cases, feel ourselves conscientiously bound to return our ver- medy we know of, to bring our authorities to a senee of their duty; and we trust some one will | yet be found to try its efficacy. We have no need to wait for cholera for an opportumity. There is not a day but cases occur in some part of the city; and although no coroner’s inquest is held, and the proximate cause of the disease 1s never more the subject of enquiry, it is well known to the medical officers of the city that the causes to which we | have alluded have been manly and directly in- strumental in producing the death; and these that after exciting and encouraging these agita- tions, and afierwards prosecuting to the death, as | they have recently done in the case of Mr. causes, althougn known to every Alderman and Assistant Alderman in the various wards of our city, are permitted to work their deadly effects, day after day, week after week, and month after O'Brien, those who took part in them, they have acted the part of wilful and deliberate murderers. It is also evident that Lord John Rusee!! and his colleegues were apprehensive of these vile transactions’getting before the public ; and hence his visit to Ireland before the com- mencement of the State trials, and the attempts made by several of the English journals, to impress | onthe public of both England and Ireland, the conviction that martial law ought to take the place of trial by jury in Ireland, lest this letter of Young, and the circumstances connected with the whig | movements in I83land "32, might leak out and become known to the public. It is evident trom this, that the present British government would have willingly murdered Smith O’Brien and ethers of the Trish patriots, through the medium of mar- tial law, forthe purpose of preventing an exposi- tion of their own villany. The history of the world does not present so vile a piece of wicked- ness and demonism. Another piece of trickery, of a similar character, and which recently come to light, will tend | still fuither to the corruption of the British government. Lord George Bentinck, who, with all bis fav'ts and vices, had redeeming | qualities, thought that the miseries of freland could be relieved ina great degree, by providing | emp'oyment for the unfortunate of that | country. He accordingly introduced into Parlia- ment a bill for the purpose of obtaining sixteen mil- | lions of pounds to be expended in the construction show people month, without the slightest attempt being made to mitigate or remove them. City Polltics. THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR REGISTER. While the whigs rely on the influence and support of the fire department to assist them in the election of their candidate for Register, Mr. Anderson, the de- mocratic candidate for the same office, Henry Arcula- rius, Jr., whois now Deputy Register, will receive a powerful support from the various military organiza- tions of the city, with whom Mr. Arcularius is very popular. He is son of Henry Arcularius, formerly Commissary ( ‘al of the State, and, for a time, Al- derman of ‘the Fifth ward. The father of the latter, Mr. George Arcularius, ie etill living in a good old age, and one of our oldest citizens, With regard to the coming contest for Register, it promires to be close and exciting, and may take the turn of the military against the firemen Judging from the frequent target exour- sions of the latter, it would seem that the firemen are gradually becoming soldiers themselves, CANDIDATES FOR SURROGATE. Both the whigs and hunker democrats consider their respective candidates for Surrogate decidedly unpopu- ler, which may increase the votes for the free soil can- didate for that office ; but not sufficient to elect him.

It appears that, in April last, a man named William Carlyle, one of the crew of the brig Col. Tayloe, while on her passage from the West Indies to the port of New York, was lost overboard. Strong suspicions attached to the mate ; and on the arrival of the brig here, the captain gave information to the District Attorney, upon which the mate was arrested and brought What is the reason that thousands and tens of¢ before one of the United States Com-nissioners, who committed him to answer. Bills were after- wards sent to the Grand Jury, and they indicted him for murder. The case wus called up on Monday, and is likely to occupy the court the re- mainder of the week. Inrerrstina Ponrrican Matrer--ELEctIoN Sra. tistics.—We never knew of an election which promises to be more closely contested than that which will take place next week; nor have we ever seen £0 much desire exhibited as we do ay present, on the part of politicians and the public, | to con over, study, and compare the returns of the State elections of this and previous years. T| is right and proper. In a republic like ours, every man ought to be so far a politician as to take an interest in what is transpiring in the political world around him. He who does not do so, 1s unworthy of the great privileges which he is blessed with as a citizen of the United States. In order to gratify this luudable desire, we have taken especial pains to place before our readers the most reliable and authentic statistical intelligence of this description ; and although we do not expect to please the ultra politicians of every school, we confidently apprehend that our exertions will be appreciated by the public at large, and with this expectation we shall continue the course which we marked out for ourselves at the commencement | of the present canvass, and which we have thus far carried out with success. Our political statistics, which are clearly ar- ranged, will form matter for reference, and should, therefore, be preserved by the public. Generar Kearney.--The St. Louis Republicans of the 22d inst., says :-- We understand that this brave officer and accom- pllchea gentleman was reported by his physicians to e worse yesterday evening.

We have not seen the despatch, and hope that we are mis- informed, The loss of so distinguished a general of the army will be a serious one to the country. | Theatrical and Musical. | Panx Tuxatne.—The new and excellent farce called & Founded on Facts,” commenced the entertainments at this theatre last evening, and was continually | greeted with the hearty cheers of an audience whose feclings were wrought up to the highest degree of de- | Might and saticfaction. Mr. G. Barrett, in the charac- | ter of Captain Harwood, fully sustained his high repu- tation as an excellent comedian. His personation of the stern old sailor was truly exquisite. The part of Simon Skeptic was ably filled by Mr Gilbert, whose disbelief in the existence of facts. exhibited in truly comic action and expression, drew down reiterated cheers. Mrs Skeptic, in the hands of Mary Taylor, was in keeping with the character which she has acquired es an inimitable actrees. In fine, this interesting little afterpiece was received through- | out with the greatest éclat, and we believe will | ke for a month, if performed every night. Mr. Power repeated bis Sir Patrick O’Plenipo, in the | “Trish Ambureador,” and Teddy Mulwoney in“ Ted- | dy the Tiler.” We observed that he appeared to have | somewhat more confidence than last evening; but it | must be admitted that he requires much study and | practice to give him that ease, which, in Irish charao- ter, is the very highest essential. Indeed, it may be Zegretted by the friends of Mr. Power, that he had not, before his appearence on our boards, that study and experience neceseary to form the actor. Talent and | true conception cre not the only requisites of succes:. | The veice must be educated, and Mr. Powers voice re- | quires much education, His eye, his bearing, his stage walk, his gestures, must all be brought under complete mastery; and we must frankly say to Mr. Power, that he bas all this yet to do, and that it will require hard, patient, and persevering study. We would not dis- courege bim, and we trust that if he has really taken up the art as a profession, resolved to conquer its dif ficulties, no words of curs could discourage him from ureuing thet path he has marked out for himself. We lieve thet every really great actor has advanced step by etep, toileome y, with bard travail, and with severe ard Jatorious study,to the frontrank in his profession. It is this probation that gives eate confidence, a know- ledge of stage business, and that aptitude for the per- ception of strong points, that contribute so much to the constitution of the great actor. Mr. Power can- not failto be aware of the strong feeling of our citi- zens in his favor. Let this encourage him to submit | himeelf to such training as will, by the aid of the ta- | lent he unquestionably possesses, yet earn for him the | position to which be ro laudably aepires. To-night he plays Sir Patrick O'Plenipo, in the “Irish Ambasea- | dor,” and MacShane in the “ Nervous Man.” Bowsry Turatre.—The new drama of “ Life,” and | the New Orleans Serenaders, are all the rage at the Bowery. “ Life’ is certainly most admirably got up— the tableaux are managed most effectively, and the in- terposition of the gauze between them and tho audi- ence adds much to their general effect. The scene in | the beer-shop, and the one in the dance house, are the best ones, we think, though they are all so exact tha it is scarcely fair to make co..parisons, J, H Hall’s acting of the irresolute young rogue is fine; in the more touching ecenes with his sister, he was much applauded. Mrs, Tilton’s performance ¢f Barbara was likewise mort admirable. The more lively characters are well done by Winans and Jordan, and the whola piece will undoubtediy become a permanent favorite at the Bowery. The New Orleans Serenaders have been re- | ceived most enthusiastically, both last night and the | night before; their singing is excellent, and their vari- | | ous peculiar new songs are quite novelties in the Ethio- pian melody style of music.

Broapway Cincvs —Notwithstanding the many places of amusement now open in the city, this splen- did establishment is nightly crowded with an admiring audience. Last night the performances were really beautiful, Mr. Darius, in his “Scenes in Mexico,” in which he represents General Taylor, Santa Anna, and the American volunteer, was received with the greatest demonstrations of delight. Young Hernandez per- formed his principal act of horsemanship, which stands unrivallad throughout the world. His appearance is alweys hailed with thunders of applauss. His daring feats fill the beholder with fearful delight, and all stand in wonder and astonishment at the ease and g which accompany his every effort. The cele- brated dancing mare, Haidee, was produced, and per- formed with more ease and grace than one would sup- pore the horse posserred. All the performances, from the entrée ‘o the scene of the barber, were unsurpassa- ble, and the audience manifested their approbation by loud and continued applause. The indefatigable proprietors, Merers. Tryon & Thompson, have deter- mined to keep the best equestrian performers in the country, aud have already engaged them. ‘The hou: is not now iftey shet) to hold the audience whic! crowds to seo the beautiful performances of the ring, and thet is but an earnest of what the success of the circus will be.

We all know how successfu, the exhibitions given by this company, last winter, at the Park Theatre, were; every body who saw them was perfectly delighted with the elegance and grace of the performers; vbe intelligence shown by the horses and onies; the extraordinary aerial feats of Mr. Sands and Eis sons, Maurice and Jeate; the dashing horsemanship of Walter Aymar, Mr. Stout, who rides four horses at a time; Mr. Gardner, the splendid scene rider ; Pentland and Lathrop, the witty clowns ; the fighting ponies, the magnificent horses Mayfly and Bucepha- lus, and all the amusing features of this splendid troupe—well, they are duce more with us, and better than ever. ‘The equestrians and all the members of the company are on hand, with fresh scenes of grace and caring. Sands and his children haye improved over their performances of former times; the clowns are wittier then ever; and, moreover, the trae and real elepbants, not only one, but a pair of them, are to be seen, and ten Egyptian camels. The bill of programme is a most inviting one—as full of attractions as a Christmas pudding is of plum the Pavilion is capable of accommodating 6,000 per- fons, all who go may reckon on a good seat. ‘The | establishment will not remain here long; so let there be no procrastination in visiting it. Tanennacte—Genwania Musicat Socirty,—We are buppy to see that thle celebrated band, which has been received by all the true amateurs of music with euch enthusiastic applause, at all their concerts, will remain for one week longer among us. ‘The concert given last evening by these talented instrumentists, Was & very brill ant affair, and allthe excellent per- formers of the Germania were rewarded for their efforts to please the public with unbounded plaudits by the retpectable audience who witnessed the superior selec tions of the programme. ‘The grand overture to the ‘Magic Flute” of Mozart was rendered with great skill, acewacy, and ability, and was followed by the admirable “Philomela Waits” of Strauss.. The cava- tina of Meyerbeer’s “ Robert le Diable,’ was also one of the finest executions of the Germania band, and the music of the great meestro was much admired. Lindpainter’s “Varinos Jubel”? overture, which we had never heard before, is a splendid piece of genius and power. The entertainment concluded with Ko sini’s overture ef Le Siege de Corinthe,” and a new composition of the able dircetor of the company, M. lenshow. entitled grand potpourri, “The Republi. can,” which is a beautiful morceau. and shows how deeply this composer knows the art which he professes.

The external parade and display was in harmony with the solidity ot the interior ingre- dients. Rockets were, at brief intervals, sent up high ito the air; guns of no little calibre made their throats resound to the extremest verge | of the city, and the music of many bands re- sounded in the gardens and immediate vicini- ty. [At the hour appointed for the meeting, the large saloon of Vauxhall was filled with the people, while the gardens and large space around was densely Crowded—forming, altogether, a mass of citizens which fell not far short of some thousands, perhaps ten or twelve. One mind and spirit evidently animated the mars | devotion to the whiggname and eause, and un- bounded enthusiasm for General Taylor. ‘At precisely half past seven o'clock, the chair was taken by Luther Bradish, Esq., whose appointment as president ef the meeting was received with loud ap- Plause and ardent plaudits A considerable number of gentiemen were then nominated as vice presidents and eecretaries of the meeting, and confirmed by ac- clamation. Lutuer Bravien, Eeq., the chairman, then addressed the meeting, and briefly returned thanks for the honor conferred upon im, in being appointed chairman of | such a meeting as the present. He observed, that the people had arsembled together this night to consult to- Chas. M. Wetherill, | gether to receive the report of the whig nominations of county officers, and, at the came time, to deliberate upon the great national issue to ve decided on the 7th of November. While our own local affairs claim some of our attention, yet we caunot for- get that we are now on the verge of a most important crisis in the history of our country, and we cannot but be deeply sensible that this is an event affecting all the inverests ef our common coun- try,and calling upon us for the faithful performance of cur dutier, as citizens of this great federate repub- lic, (Hore the oud roar of cannon suddenly made the speaker, the auditors, and the building itself to quake.) | We are here, continued Mr. Bradish, for these impur- tant purpores, not merely as belonging to a party, but as fellow citizens and feliow laborers. for the best and | greatest interests of the people, and the public at | large, Whatever party name might attach to any one, we are now here, this night, as the friends and | eupporters of General Taylor. It had become a | matter of general and deep conviction, throughout the country, that a ehange had become necessary for the interest and prosperity of the people, in the prin les, measures, and policy of those to whom the admin- Ptrstion of ite affairs should be confided, We wirhed to tee the tions and false policy which for, come marked its conduct. We wanted to see the govern- ment of the country restored to its original simplicity and purity, We want to see the constitution of our country carried out in its true spirit, fairly and faith- fully. by the government entrusted with the adminis- tration of its principles. We wanted to see that ad- ministration constituted and conducted, not forthe benefit and advantage of a few officeholders, but for t! ears past, had general interest and advantage cf the whole peop! (Great arplause) We wi 0 see the national a ministration, in all its departments, conducted above all the corruptions, the intrigues, and proscriptions | which have sprung up in the course of the past years, and to see it administered in the spirit of justice, under | the direction of that wisdom, purity, and patriotism | which first guided the conduct and counsels of the | filustrious beroes who originally established and witely guided the then young republic. In short, we wish to see the head of our government to be another Warhington. (Loud and repeated cheers) Such, he believed Zachary Taylor to be in a very great degree. (Tremendous cheering.) In Zachary Taylor we be- hold # man like unto Washington, in the directness and integrity of bis purpose; like Washington in singleness of mind, independence of judgment, in moderation, purity, patriotism, and devotion | to bis country. There qualities, which distin- | guished the great father of his country, were seen also to belong to General Taylor. (Immense cheering ) Now, fellow citizens, it depends upon you, by your union and decision, to elevate this great and good m to the highest office in the gift of the people. Shall he receive it ? (Cries of applause and !*he shail, he ehall,”) Aye, look at his life and character, conrider them well, and then compare them with those of the several can- Then, when you have made a fair and just ccwparison, then decide the great, the important ques- tion. On your decision, on the decision of this great question by the people at large, at this important cri- tis, at which we are now arrived, must hang the suc- cess of this experiment ofa free government, in the eyes of all the world, and before ail nations. ‘Yes, fel- low citizens, on the decision of this great question, on the {th instant, will depend, mainly, the welfare of this great American people; and the destiny of this, our greatrepublic. (Loud applause) We are assembled here this night, calmly to consult, deliberate, and talk over Cur interests, our institutions, and our political affairs; and, by mutual confidence, to encourage each other, and strengthen each other's hand for this great contest, now impending, and so near at hand, Are you ready? I trust you are, and may God speed the right. (Cheers) But, the issue of this great conte | is not more important than our hopes of its result a encouraging, and our prospects of success are bright. Our sister States, Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvavia have tpoken betore us, and, from the high eminence of their victories, they beckon to us to follow them, and rush forward with them to this glorious struggle. Will you not hearken to them! Nay, will you not endea- ver to exceed them in the greatness of your triumph ? Excelsior is the motto of the State of New York. Wiil you not then realize the truth of it. and surpass them allm your efforts and your victory ? Ur" Bradich then sat down in the midet of tremen- ous applause, and shouts of “go on, go on,” as he, in concluding, faid he would detain them no longer.] The report of the nominasng committee was then read, containing the nemes of the varions candidat: selected by the committee, for the several county of- ces to be filled by the popular vote. Mr Davis then came fofward and addressed the meeting, amid loud and deafening cries for Greeley, | Greeley, Greeley, Henny EB Davies, Esq. taid :-—Fellow citizens, “Old Zack is coming; such is the ory of the whiga, uttered now with the same cflect as when it was sounded on the field of Buena Vista, On that occasion, in that | dark bovur, when Santa Anna, the General of James K Polk; who got admission into Mexico, bya pass from James K_ Polk, who bad the opportanity of shed- ding the best American blood, by the assent and per- | mission of James K Polk, and by value of a permit from James K.

So, said Mr. D., must aleo the whigs feel, when the cry runs, “ He is ping.’ Fellow citizens and whigs of New York —we are now upon the eve of the most important election which this country ever Witnessed. Within one week from this night, the fun will either go down upon us an victors or ae defeated men in this cont ‘There are great iesves involved in this contest—this you all feel and acknowledge, On the result of this election depends the restoration of this country to its pristine principles and its pristine vi- gor. Mr, D, then proceeded to enquire what were the issues involved? The first, bo said, was tl question whether the people of this country and Con- gress should rule the government, or the President should rule the Congress and the people? Gen. Taylor was pledged to the ccuntry that, ifelected President, he would not thwart the will of the people expressed’ by Congress, The candidate of the opporite party was, on the contrary, pledged to corry out the principles of the administrators of JK, Polk Lewis Cass was the can- didate of the party which claimed for itself to be and to porrers all the democracy im the country; and he wee ged before the world and the Ameri- can people to carry out the views of JK. Polk, of whom be had been one of the most ardent supporters. and strongest advisers and coun: Mr. D, then proceeded to speak of the sums of public money received by General Cars, who wi he ob- rerved, ® etuffed machine—being stuffed out with 234,000 dollars of the government money ceived 8.0C0 dollars a year from the treasury of the he had beon ia public that, but now he wanted another cool hundred. As to General Case bimeelf, personally, Mr. D. said he believed him to be, ine respect, @ highly respectable man, sud only excepted to by'bim on account of his polities principles, which be (Mr. D.) held to be opposed to tha interests of the country; ruinous to its liberties, a destructive of the national glory and honor, Mr. D, then adverted to the vote for the re! of Ireland, which, he ¥ of the tariff and ye mecessity of pro- tection to American labor, avd industry. aud d for the justice and propriety of the government and cflice- holders having no better currenoy and no larger favors granted to them than were shared in com- mon by the people,who bad the same right ser had. After a glowing eulogy passed upon General Taylor and Millard Fillmore, which was received by the mvet- ing with the loudest and most vehement applause, Mr. D. next proceeded to discuss the morits and -claims of General Butler, of Kentucky, in whom he saw uo other merit than that of comirg back unharmed from the city of Mexico to Vera Cruz, after Gei I Scott hi cartied him victoriously there from Vera Cros tothe city. After some banpy al Generel Taylor, Mr. D, sat down in @ perfect torrent of loud and rapturous applause, having held the Cob during all his speech, deeply absorbed and delighte with the eloquent and ardent strain in which he spoke of the merits and abilities of General Zachary Taylor. Mr. Buooxs then offered @ series of resolutions for the consideration of the meeting, approbatory of th county nominations, and, after proposing them, ma afewremarks. He said that he knew Mr Bradford while he would do his duty to the law, ho would per- form that to the widow andorphan. As to the candi date for the recorder-hip, too much eannot be eaid in his favor He has held the office before, and likew other important stations, and he now wants to restored to his old race course, The candidate for register is well known, ' He is the firemen’s candidate, and they were the first to break down the large majori- ties of Tammany Hall. They it was who rolled back the immense tide of corruption that flowed from that | fountain, and they have a right to be heard, and their | wishes ought to be regarded | York vote the ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing Let the whigs of New but the ticket,on the seventh of November next. He concluded by appesling to the firemen, turn out ring | the alarm, and wake the sleeping from now to the day of election. The Williamburg Glee Clad, at this point, sang asong with a chorus ending with, We'll carry Old Zack to Washington, ‘Along with our own Fillmo Oh, carry Old Zack to Washington, mg with our own Fillmore. And another, which pleased the audience very much ; after which : Mr. 'Hox1e spoke for a few minutes. He rejoloed at meeting his whig friends onoe more before the day of election. The time for talking is over, and mow ao- tion is the word. He has just returned from up tho river and perhaps those pr know what the prospect is. Ulster, each will give fifteen hundred or two thou- sand ‘aajority fer Gen, Taylor; and, if mora is wanted, we can have more, and other counties will do as well. Im Columbia he heard an anecdote which is worth repeating, A man inquired of an old Duteh woman cf the state of politics thore—whether the people were going for Cass? She never heard, however, of Cass, and therefore she did not know him: ‘Woll, then she was asked if the people there are going for Taylor? No, she did not hear of him either. Van Buren, then, her interrogator inquired, is the man ?— No, she never beard of him either, Then, who in the world are you all going for up here? Why, said she, one-half of our men are going for a man they call Old Zech. and the remainder are going for Rough and Ready. (Applause) It was unnecessary, at this day, togo into the merits of Gen. Taylor. ile is too well known to require that—us for Millard Fillmore, he is a most excellent man, and one who will discharge the puties of the Vice Presidency with oredit to himself hud honor to the country. ‘The speaker then alluded to the Buffalo platform and euid that it was stolen from the whigs, and the Van Buren men ought to be indicted for petit larceny for doing #0 — There is great necersity, in order to ensure success in this State and city, that every whig should be properly posted up; that every man should be prepared not only To vote himself, but to be sure and make all bis frivnds do likewise. It has been said by our opponents that the whig party is dead. Does the meeting now present look ae if the partyis dead? No, it is not dead, but somebody is, and he could tell whoit is. He conclu- dea by iipploring all whigs to come forward and exert themselves in the enuse of Zachary Taylor. If th done, New York will give hima majority of at least fifty thourand, As for himself. he was determined to do bis duty. He never worked so hard as he has doue during this canvass, and if others would do the same, victory will be certain on the 7th of November next. Mr, Greecey was the next speaker. To bis mind, he said, the argument was closed on the Presidential election, and the verdict is about to bs made up; and he did vot purpose, at that late hour, to prosecute or renew the argument, He bad met the whigs of New York bef re, and argued the questions connected with the election’ before; and now he proposed to speak of the prospects of the campajgn, and of facts which obvicus toall. And, first, one general aspect pre itself, which all must have observed. In forme tions, the whig party, at this stage of the canvass, found that they had to carry all the States that the bad hopes of warrying | When they got within a wae of the election, they found that they would have to carry all such States, in order to be successful, while, at this day, he did not know of sixty electoral votes on which the whig party could not count in the coming e the votes which they could not In former contest. Where depend on? There is South Carolina sure. elections they had a tolerable certainty ern and Western, and a good many of the mid States, while there was a great outside row agai them. "In this canvass we can commence with Florida and count almost with certainty on Louisiana, Michi- gan, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. If not certain, thore 8 can be hoped for. In the centre, we have the State of New York, which he was certain would cast her vote for no man but General Taylor. Here are thirty-four votes which have not been counted upon. ready been given, and our sp States to canvass. Then, there is Ponnsy! often unfortunate for the whigs. Can any man doubt that it will surely go for Taylor?’ The locos know they will be beaten there, and they are speculating on the probability of how much they will be beaten in the ensuing election. We may be mistaken, but every portent tells us that it will go for Taylor. We have card nocontradictory statement, Indeed, on every band the aspect is cheering. Thousands of men who voted for Longstreth, in Pennsylvania, will vote for Taylor; and there is every indication that the whig vote will be much stronger than that cast for Johnston. It is uselese, however, to continuein this strain. Noone can doubt that the whig party is about to triumph; that two thirds of the electoral votes of the country will be thrown for General Taylor, While but one man of the whig party has avowed his determination to vote for Cass, thousands of democrats will go for Tay- lor, That one is his ticular friend, Dudiey Selden, and he has been taken to Pennsylvania as a curiosity. On every side, then, the tide of Victory sets with us, and the general enthusiasm, awakened by the Stat elections, will make States which are considered doubt- ful sure for us, Thus it will be with Florida, New York, Louisiana, and other States. In regard to our State candidates, he thought sufficient attention is not be- stowed on them. There is one man on the ticket whom he never heard spoken of in terms of eulogy in the rooms, and he is Charles Cook, for whom, in Albany, the opin- jen is universal, that, as canal commissioner, he is worth more than any man that has been in the canal board for many years. It will not be right to forget bim; for bis great worth entitles him to receive as large a majority as any candidate on the ticket. Such mea os Mr, Cook must not be forgotten in the great rush for Gen, Taylor. For his part, he (Mr G.) never went in- to a contest with more assurance of success, but it re- quires more than assurance to succeed. If that were sufficient. n. Santa Anna, instead of being beaten, would have triumphed on the field of Buena Vista. Let ail whigs, therefore, go to-morrow, and propare themselves 1m # proper way for the election next Tuss- day. and, if they do so, victory—a great and decisive victory—1s certain. After another rong from the Glee Club, Mr Wm E. Roninson epoke for a short time. He knew not why, after the feast of reason and flow of soul that bas been offered, be should be called upon to make a speech; neither would he attempt to make one, for he has work before him to do, a portion of which is, to present a banner to the whigs of the Sixth werd He was told by a whig friend that he did not like a certain nomination; but, on his way home, he had @ dream that he was conveyed to the inferoal regione, where he saw all kinds of tricks carried on— where he saw @ great taany sachems assembled, one of whom told the rest that the Baltimore Ccnvention had nominated General Case, By and byy another informed the audience, that General Taylor was nominated in opposition to him, and, at roon as this piece of information was received, there was great silence, This was broken by another, who said thst A wersenger murt be rent to Father Ritchie, to ie Old Zack down, for that was the only way to defeat hin. ‘The ‘old boy” himself put a stop to the messenger saying. if Old Taylor is nominated, wi h— ean’: defeat him. Mr. Robinson then drew a comparison between Generel Cass and General Taylor, and said that although the latter was not the most deserving of the party to which he belonged, in connection with the cffice of President, yet he deserved all that the whigs cvuld give him, (Applause) Cass is a man of war, and delights not in the term Mv. Cass; but) General Cass, has said, within his hearing, that this country was not known to the world before the Mexiean war Not known, forsooth, in ihis age of steam and electricity—not known, when we spread the white wings of commercegover every sea; not known, foreootn, until we began to slaughter Mexican women, and doch out the brains of Mexican children. Al- though General Taylor is a general, he does not be- Neve that this country was unknown ti/l the com- mencement of the Mexican war. He believes mach more in the arte of peace, than“he does in those of war Cass believes in war, but not fighting, [After exhorting the whigs todo their duty Mr, Robinson concluded, and the meeting soon after adjourned.)
