The German democratic citizens of New York as- sembied in mass meeting last evening, in Tammany Hail, to respond to tue nomiuations of the Vaan Burenites, or free svilers, and to endorse the policy of the administration. There were some four or five bundred present, of woom the immense majority were Germans. The speeches were for the most part delivered in the German tongue, chiefly eulogistic of the President and his Cadi and pledging the meeting to their support. The American spe were Lorenzo B. Shepard and Capta'n Ryniers. Our columps contain a report of she proceedings, to+ gether with the letters receivid from Secretary Marcy, Hon. Geo. M. Dallas, Gea. Dix, Comptro!ier Wright, and others. Mr. Cooley, candidate for State Comptroller, made @ speech at & mass meeting ae national demo- rats in Syracuse Jast night, in which he indulged im some exceedingly bitter remarks against the Pre- sident, his Cabinet advisers and their confreres, as wi'l be seen by the very full report under the tele- graphic head. We have expressed our views of the substance of this speech ia an editorial article. The national democrats of Essex county, Mass., met yesterday, and passed resolutions declar'ng that they were patiently awaiting for some act of the ad- ministration indicative of an intention to carry out the wishes of the advocates of national principles as expressed in the President's inaugural addeess. They assert that the appointwents to office in that county have béen in direct violatim of Gen. Pierce's pledges. Judge Bronson’s iadecendeat course is endorsed, and his removal attrivuted to Gen. Cushing. The free soilers and demerats of Middlesex county» Mass., assembled yesterday, and nomivcated a coalition ticket for Senators, composed of three candiiates be- longing to each section. A resclution was adopted which declares that insubcrdination on the part of a public offiver is treason to democracy. Perhaps a perusal of the list of names of those abolitionists who are reported to have been proscribed from the Boston Custem House, and particularly of General Cushing’s last letter, will cause his old coalition col- leagues to be exceedingly cautions in giving public expression to their peculiar opinions in future.

Na- turally enough, he has, chosen as the recipients of his confidence the two abolitionist organs of | this city—the Times and the Tribune. In | their columng Caleb, who has been all things | to all men a all parties in times past, ap- peared yesterday ina new and startling charac- ter: that of a devoted friend to the Union. | them to be favorable to disunionists, if they had not admitted the truth of the public ap- prehensions by undoing their owa work, ther? | would have been no necessity to set Caleb to write ungrammatical letters. So much for the past. Let us look to the present and future. The administration is de- termined to “crush out, (this is Cushing-%se for suppress.) the dangerous element of nboli- tion”? Accordingly Caleb lectures Mr. Proth- ingham, and a few poor fellows will probably lose their $1,000 or $1200 a year in Boston But what has been done in New York? How stands the “ great prine?y which is * fas- tened in the President’s mind like a corner- stone.” (Cushing-ese again,) in the Empire State? Was it in consequence of the “immova- ble convictions” of the Cabinet on the atrocity of free soilism that Martin Van Buren, Coch- rane, and Fowler, were appointed to office her Was it owing to the President’s belief that au alliance with free soilers was “inconsistent with personal honor, the welfare of the country, and the permancney of the Union,” that these men, who, till within six mouths of the nomination. spent all their energies in opposing, frustrating, and throwing contempt on the compromise laws, and only consented to waive their dis- unionist tendencies then for a share in the spoils were raised to posts of honor and trast? Was it from a fear lest the Union should be “shaken hy abolitionists or fictionists” that Bronson wag dismissed? The rule which applies in Mas- sachusetts ought to govern here. If free soilers are to be placed beyond the pale of oficial favor there they surely should not be ckosen-as the elect bere. And if the administration wishes us to place any faith in its professions of fidelity to the Union and the compromise. it must do something more than instruct Caicb to write blundering ,letiers and try to put down abo- lition by raising up abolitionists. We can tell the Cabinet how they could dis- pel the suspicions which are gathering thiek around them and regain some shadow ofa re- putation for loyalty. Acts alone, not words. can eflect the miracle. If they would stand right before the united people of this country they must second the just demands of the South, and take mea: 8 to strengthen th equilibrium of the constitution by proposing the admission of southern California and a portion of Texas to the Union as slave States. This would at once throw down the gauntlet both to the abolitionists here and to their foreign allies avd would convince every oue | Forrest playing Rosina in * Barbiére,” or Son- tag attempting Sir John Falstatf, would not have seemed more il] atease. Petrifaction is a better word than astonishment to express the feelings which which people read the following letter from the Attorney General to Mr. Froth- ingham :— WasHINGTON, Satorday, Oc! Dear Stnr—t perceive that in several counties in Massachusetts coalition senatoriul tickets have been formed of associated democrats and free svilers. My judament is tmat tie ¢ who bave partic] yat- ed inthis bave dove nto commit a fatal error. They have abandoned a pricciple which is fundame: tal. fo support or vote for the free soilers of Massachusetts is to give countenance aed po wer to persons engaged avowedly in the persistent agitation | of the slavery questéon, and therefore ho-tile in the highest degree to the determined policy of the ad- ministration. The President entertains unmovaole convictions on this point, as I huve had oczasioa to | | | 1853. express to you heretofore, and all of us whom he has called to the paolic ‘service here most heartily and zealously sustain his vie as beiag | the oxly ones consistent with personal nonor, the | success of the democratic party, the general welfare | of the country, the integrity of the constitution, or the | permanency of this Urion. Ii there be any paryose more fixed then acother in th» mind of the Presi- dent and those wih whom he js accustomed to eon- sult, it is that the dangerous element of abolitionism, under whatever guise or form it may ent itself, | shall be crushed out, so fur as bis admiui-tration is | concerned. [bis the President declared ia bis ia- augural- this he has declared ever since, at all times, ana tn all places, wheu he had ucvasion to speak on the subject While he doesnot aszume to judge of the hearts of men who publi ly avow sound principles, he oaly needs overt acts to show where they are, in order that bis settled policy in the conduct of the affairs of the government shall be unequivocally mauitess. Thove who have apprehended bulting or hesitation on the part of the President, in treading any path which ‘roth and patriotism open to him, will flad themselves preatiy mistaken. He is up to this occa- sion. His polwy was por hastily settled. While he occupies his present position it will never be depart- ed irom. The constitutional rights of all the Siates of the Union are as dear to him as the rights of New Hampshire. 1 have perceived from the ontses that this great principle of the consiitution al rights of the States is fastened in bis thoughts as the cornerstone of the | Unien. Depend upon it, no matter what conse- quences may impend over him, he wi ever allow it to be shaken abolitioni-ts or factientsts, but will set his face like flint against right-handed b: slidings as against left-handed defections which may pre or embarrass the onward prose sss of the reputtic. J remain, very truly, yours, C. Cusarse. Hon. R. Frothingham, Jr., Boston. Caleb has “perceived” the Massachusetts eo- alitions. We are glad to bear it. himself their originat is still looked u As he was | or and chief sponsor, and | to in Massachusetts as one of the leading chiefs of these same coalitions, it was not to be expecied that he should “per- ceive” their existence until some political capi- tal could be made out of the perception. However, he perceives them now, and that is | of the Farmer's Club, which met yesterday, which, | their councils—that the dying words of Clay, Calhoun and Webster, would be their guiding rule in their government of the country—and that, in whatever circumstances they were placed, or by whatever difficulties surrounded, ihey would ever remember that their elevation to power was solely due to the public apprecia- tion of the conduct of those great statesmen in 1850, and that they were now called upon to tread in their footsteps unswervingly. This ought to have been, this was the public expec- tation when Gen. Pierce took office. How comes it, then, we repeat, that in a few short months the letter-writer to the Cabinet feels it incumbent on him to p'edge his honor that he and his colleagues are not trampling under foot | the last legacy of Clay, Calhoun and Webster? The answer is easy. We find it in the re- cords gf@the administration. We have dis- missed free soilers, say they ; and the avowal of this tardy recognition of their public duty is a complete confession of their previous fault. They bave themselves, in their admission that | the public outery compelled them, in certain instances, to retrace their footsteps and dis- miss free soilers whom they had appointed to | office, supplied most excellent grounds for sus- | pleion, and most excellent reasons for protesting | their innecence. If their acts had not showed the material point. Nay more, with self- ficing candor, he coudemns them in ia which is not the less foreible for being slightly | at variance with the precepts of Lindley Mur- ray. He tells us that the Ma crats—(and modesty al: we know how mo- | | dest Caleb is—preventshis alluding to himself | by name)—have “done worse than to commita | fatal error.” We do trust that no captious pu- rist will allow his attention to be diverted from the sentiment expressed in this phrase by en- deavoring to render it into English. He | assures us that the supporters et the fice | soil candidates in Massachusetts, (whose proni- | nent leader he was,) “have abandoned a princi- | ple which is fundamen meaning thereby a | fundamental priaciple of the constitution, and one * hostile in the highest degree to thedeter- | mined policy of the administration.” Caleb | intended to say'that the administration would | pursue a policy opposed to the views of these | free soilers. He does n’t express himself hap- pily—but this is no matter. He adds that “the | President is up to the occasion’ —that “he will | set bis face like flint.” &e.—and winds up witha denunciation of “right-handed backslidings” end “left-handed defections.” Our readers | will make what they can of these extraordinary | observations. Jf they can tell us what it is to be “up to an occasion ” or if they can form ia their mind’s eye a definite picture of a “face | like flint,” or a “right-handed backsliding,” they will be more fortunate than we have been. To pass from the form to the matter of this extraordinary document, what is its pith and substance? Its outward aim and object is to interfere in the local appointments at Massa- chusetts—a repetition, in fact of the disgrace- ful treatment of Mr. Bronson, against which our merchants have go loudly and so unanimously protested. Have the Cabinet nothing todo but this? Were they called to the highest rank in the country in order that they might devote their time to regulating petty clerksbips in custom houses, and superintending the political achusetts demo- | | | that General Pierce’s administration is sincere | and faithful to the country. All ether plaus but this are mere claptrap and deccive no one. Presrpent Pmnce’s Privare Cuaracter As- SatLep.—At a mass meeting of national demo- crats—vulgarly denominated hard shells—held in Syracuse last evening, Mr. J. E. Cooley, the candidate nominated by that section for State Comptroller, delivered alengthly harangue. the important portion of which will be found in our columns this morning. Mr. Cooley in this speech, which was intended to be a powerful and vig- orous onslaught on the political course of the President and his Cabinet, has allowed himself to be so far led astray by his passion and poli- tical feeling as to indulge in scurrilous abuse of General Pierce’s private character, tastes. and habits ; and in doing so he has completely neu- tralized the effect intended to be produced by his discourse. No person of high moral senti- ments, good breeding, and gentlemanly appre- ciation, can read Mr. Cooley’s speech aud not feel that it was equally unworthy of the speaker as it was disrespectful and scurrilous towards the Chief Magistrate of the republic. No one having a spark of chivalry in bis uature can read it without being impressed by the sentiment that it is unbecoming, ungentlemanly, and highly reprehensible, thus to assail and hold up to public ridicule and contempt the pri- vate character of the man ehosen by the nation tc preside over its destinies, and who is precluded by the dignity due to his high position from taking personal cognizance of the slander. We are sorry to see Mr. Cooley des- cend to such a paltry and despicable course, and imitate such examples as that held up by the Tribune during aud since the Presidential election. even although he has before him the reward of such conduct in the appointment by Mr. Dudley Mann of one of Greeley’s protégés to a post in the Department of the Interior. We assail the administration on political and piety of every small office holder in the States? | public grounds, and would hold it a spot upon The inward and spirituai intent of the letter is to persuade people that the administra- our own escutcheon, and an insult to the good taste of the American people, could we so far tion is opposed to abolition and free soil- | forget our duties and our sense of propriety as iem, This was its real drift: this is the trae to reflect upon their private character, We motive of the bold figures and striking expres- | have a great respect for Marcy and his panta- sions which are placed in the mouth of the Pre- loons.

Washington, We disapprove entirely of. and unreservedly condemn,assaults on the private character of the President or any of his Cabicet. It is a course which we never would have resor: to; aud we utterly despise all politicians and newspapers who attempt to conduct political controversy by such means. Of such a stamp are the Rich- mond Enquirer, the Cincinnati Enquirer, and the New York J'riéune, and they deserve for this cause to be scouted out of existence. We repeat. that we are very sorry to see Mr. Cooley, who is himself a scholar, a gentleman, and a religious Christian, allow his feelings so far to vitiate his taste as to imitate such vindictive and scurrilous examples. We disapprove of it in toto, Tur Rerorm Movement in Tus Ciry.—We publisbed yesterday, the report of the proceed- ings which took place in Metropolitan Hall, on Monday evening. under the auspices of the City Reform Association. We do not know exactly under what pumercial order. this party comes in the present contest; but though it adopts the cant and symbol of reform, it is neither more vor less than a spoils-secking political faction, to be ranked in the same category as all the others, under whatever soubriquet they may he knowa—hard shells, soft shells, whigs, independent democrats, or temperance mea. Most of the m®n who took prominent parts in the ratification meeting the other evening, were old broken down politicians, who had been kicked out of one or other of the parties, and who then resorted to the refurm dodge as offer- ing. perhaps, the most chances of acquiring po- litical position and profits. The movement, however, like all others of the same kind, has exploded, The reformers were actually com- pelled to pass a resolution abandoning the nominations made by them for the Judiciary, and for the post of District Attordey, and leav- ing these appointments to the merey of the dif ferent other factions. In fact, it seemed that in the meeting, the reformers were completely out- numbered and out-manceuvred by the poli- ticiens, who carried everything their own way. and only acquiesced good naturedly in the ward nominations for Aldermen and Coun- cilmen. Tt is almost impossible to sum up the number of candidates proposed in the several wards for municipal honors. In som: wards there are not less than seven or eight different nominces. But even if the reform movement should be enccessful in the majority of the twenty-two wards, we do not expect to find more honest or unscrupulous men supersede those now in pow- er. We do not anticipate the slightest imn- provement in this respect, no matter what party may predominate. With five or six millions a year glittering befure their eyes, these politi- cians cannot resist the opportunity of filling their pockets, and the reformers would be pro- bably the very worst of the lot. We have seen specimens of the like before. Some years ayo the native American movement was started ia opposition to the two old parties, and great re- furm wus expected therefrom. But what was ihe consequence? Why, when these men got into power, they showed themselves more cor. rupt. more extravagant, more abominable. than apy of the old parties ; aud the party burst up in a Little times It will be the same, in all proba- Dility, with the reformers. What the result of the cleetion will be it is impossible to say. Broanway Tusarnn—Mr, Anderson is determined to carry ue back to the days of our ancestors, Last night r Brother? an old comedy of Fletcher's, which he has paved and pruned and dressed out for modern society There is not much init. Eus- toce, an idle coxcomb, is about to despoil his elder brother of his birthright, and on the strength of the wealth thus acquired, to marry the beautiful denghter of a wealthy lord, The eller brother, Charles, a bookworm, who knows nothing beyond his library? carelessly submits to be robbed, till, accidentally meeting his brother's intend ride, he falls in love with her, ca her off, and in- sists on preserving his rights for hersake, An attempt &t rescue on the port of the foiled bridegroom a‘furds Charles 4 fine opportunity of cisplayiog his maiden courage; Eustace plays the coward, and files in disgrace. Reflection brings shame with it, and shame revives all that is manly in the younger brother's heart. He de- mards from Charles the restoration of his sword and his mistress: his request is denied, a fight ensnes, and the two brothers are with difliculty s«parated by their uncle, Add to this a good deal of funny by-play from anirew, Charles’ servant, and Brisae, is father, and the plot is complete, It ends of course in the reconciliation of all parties, and the he ppy marriage of Charles and Angelina, Mr. Anderson, who may claim a fall share of the au thorship, played Charles. It is improbable that Fletcher ever saw his creation ro happily or so effectively rendered. The defects in Mr. Anderson’s declamation, which we have noticed on previous occasions, were atill visible; but they were less prominent and less frequent than in, many of the parts in which he has appeared since his retarn. There is, in truth, Jess room for extravagant gesture or wild bursta of voice in Charles then in Hamlet. Mr. Anderson was simple, vatnral end true. The student, who, so long shut out fiom the living world and closeted with the dead, suddenly finds himself in the midst of all that it contains that is most exciting—plunged alike in love and in quarrels—could scarcely have been more vi- vidly depicted, He did not missa single point; and the grenthuccess of the two main scenos—that where Eustace’s marriage is brcken off, and that where Charles steals his sword—was entirely due to his spirited performance, is companion siar, Miss Fanny Morant, must show herself in some other character before we pronounce on her merits, Neit: er Fletcher nor any of his cotemporaries ever wrote a femule part in comedy that can be heard with pleasure from female lips to-day. Much as we may adwire ihe actress, the tone of the dialogue and the blontness of the sentiments which she is forced to express, ave but too eure to breed # general feeling of uncom: fortableners in the listener; one cannot always bear in mind the vast revolution that har taken place im ladies’ manners sir ce the days of Elizabeth, and it were almost better to turn aside altegether, and forget that itis a woman who is speaking. Miss Morant must wait. Mr. Barry was natural and good as Lord Lewis. The gentleman who played Eustace was peculiarly fitted for the first phase of that singular character; he was a bundle of fine clothes, withont any contents to spoak of. Even a fop should show some nigns of intellect, though it ‘be exercised ona rufile or a shoe buckle, Mr. Whiting must read up his psrt—the prompter interrupts the dialogue.

Carman and Michael O’Brien, who lost their lives ic the great fire on the cor- ner of Fulton and Nassau streets, were performed yester- day. At about two o’clock P. M. the bodies «f the eceased were brought from their respretive places of residence to the North Dutch Church, corner of William ‘and Fulton streets, where the fuavral rites’ were per- formed. Long before the time for the arrival of the funeral train, an anxious crowd of mer, women and children had corgregsted on the sidewalk about the church, At precisely two o'clock the hearses drove up, followed by an immense train.
