HE KNOW NOTHINGS IN THE MEETING. “ROANS FOR CLARKE AND CHEERS FOR ULLIAY The time nowis so short that we of William P. Dodge, Rev. John March, Rev. Mr. Culver, Rev. Mr. Hatfield, and Horace Greeley, &., In accordance with the following call, 4 meeting was ld at the Broadway Tabernacle last evening:— (Granv Temremaxcr Ratiric, am _ ea and m of th liquor. trate are iapited ts York, to meet you heart to heart, and to offer m: words at these closing hours of this week, with full assurance that Iam doin, and tocur common humanit ty. It is said that on the battlefeld of Austerlitz, when the surgeons were probi the wound of a French soldier who ‘was breathing ate last, as he felt the surgeon going deep down to. the sunken bullet, he snid—"Go a litle deeper” “igo » little deeper,’ he repeated, as he felt the probe coming near his heart—a little deeper and you will find my Empe- ror.’’ So I would say to you to-night about the tempe- rance cause—‘ Go deeper; down to the very core of my heart, and you will find this blessed, heaven-sent beniti- cence in the cause of prohibition.” (Applause.) After all, fellow citizens, here we can meet and stand on the same platform, face to face, and heart to heart. I am in- clined to judge of this subject generally by a simple test —an honest, common sense test—and that is, who are for it? who are against it? On this test I am very apt to make up my mind on public questions. On the side of this Great enterprise of prohibition we have the good, the faithful, the praying, the earnest, the patriotic, I see the cause buoyed up by their strong hands, as it is wafted forward by the prayers and heart-wishes of the noble men who stand up for it. Well, who are opposed to it? e men are opposed to it who are quite ignorant of the details and practical working of the law. They are opposed to it because they are not-yet familiar with it. ‘Long before the hour at which the meeting was called j@ Tabernacle was filled, and it seemed evident that ere was a large sprinkling of Know Nothings in the - }dience. They did not, however, commit any disorderly ts, but confined themselves to occasional signs of dis- jprobation at the mention of the names of candidates— {at of Mr. Raymond especially. ‘The meeting was called to order at half-past seven block, by Rev. John Marsh, who nominated Mr. Wil- m P. Dodge as Chairman, which nomination was rati- \d by the meeting. Subsequently the following named gentlemen were ap- Inted as Vice Presidents and Secretaries :— the my honest duty to God I will tell you, though, where the strongest opposition So * poeong M. T.

He says that once, while he was in London joseph Davis accosted him in Westminster one day, an told him that on one occasion, he saw in the street, three or tour huge brewers’ horses drawing some casks of Whitbread’s beer. A little girl on her way home from school, was endeavoring to cross the street right before the horses, Davis was walking along lelsurely disaw her. ‘The little creature had just reached the foint where, ina moment more, the frst horse woyld have set down his tremendous hioof and left her crushed d mangled on the pavement. What did he do? He did not stop to reason. ‘The simple thought entered his fatherly heart to rave the little girl. He leaped forward, seized the child, carried her over to the sidewalk, and set her down. She lifted up her little pale face to look up at her deliverer, and as the little bounet fell of and the ringlets fell over her shoullers he looked down into the face of his own Iittle daughter. He went out to save somebody's child, and he saved his owa. Fathers, strike a blow next Tuesday for prohibition, to save somebody's ehild: and perhaps you may save that boy who lies upon the bosom of your wife, and whom you point at as yo weliold: jewel.

And yet shall we as men leave a law upon onr statute bocks whiel away every protection from a drunkard’s sufleri and throws every protection eround the f ard maker? (Cries of “Nol?” “nol”? No, we will not.

(Applause.) ‘There are women who will wait for the issue of Tuesda: next, as they would wait for the intelligenee_on whic their destinies hang. If they bear that Seymour is elected, there are faces that will turn pale—mothers who will say, my boy is lost ; and wives who will see the last hope of their busbands’ reformation taken away. But let the tidings come, that he, who bas stood ance has been jected to the post of Governor of the State, and then see how she will thank God for the victory. (Applause) Work then ; yote, vote on the question we pray. Let not an effort be lost to obtain that law of prohibi- tion, Come up altogether, came up old and young, With a vote in each hand, and a vote on each tongue. ‘Applause.) At the conclusion of Mr. Cuyler’s ae the PRESI- Dxxt put the resolutions to the vote, when they were adopted unanimously. I will now, sid he, ask this large, this respectable, this intelligent audience—and I may be permitted to say that it has been my privilege for the last fifteen years to meet in this house, but never was I privileged to meet such an assemblage of my fel- Jow-citizens as upon this occasion. I will now ask you to pass on the nomination of Myron H. Clark for Governor of this State. All those in favor of that nomination will say aye i Tequest was answered by a tremendous “aye,” only a few nays being heard in opposition. There were also some hisses, but these were drowned by the band which immediately struek up ‘Hail Columbia.” Fellow citizens, said the PResmxnt, again co: for- ward as the last notes of the band died away, I will now call upon you to pass upon the nomination of Mr. Henry J. Raymond for Lieutenant Governor. Those in favor of that nomination will plea to signify it by saying ‘aye.’ With this request the audience also, complied, respond- ing in the most enthusiastic manner. ‘The star jyangled banner’? followed this demonstration, and after this again there were loud cries for Greeley and a few feeble ones for Inskip. The President begged the indulgence | of the audience for a few moments, and then told them that a collection would be taken up to defray ex The collection wax accordingly taken bal after which Mr. Grexuxy, in compliance with the almost unani- mous call, came forward and spoke as follows:—There are some thoughts connected with this canvass and the truggle in which we are en; that may yet profit- abl {p-see™ ‘our time.

In peace, you are aware, the policy of the State’ is to throw the army into the lap of the ariste- cracys-of the party, to use the expression of the day, whiclliae something to lose. The consequence is, as the sons-of the wealthy classes are not supposed to be able toendare routine, it is not expected at the War Office that young men will keep in their regiments, om the average, above three years; and this experience proves to be the fact. Fancy, then, what # host of young military three year olds we must have on the me- tropolitan pave. Their number is legion. Men origi- nally of the most insipid character, occupants of the lowest form at school, incapable of graduating at our universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and good for no- thing except to don a red coat, become learned in taseela: and plumes, and retire the moment the quarters are dull or the’ society of the mess fatiguing. But to-day these poon flies, that one brushed away with intuitive weariness: the moment they appeared, have become gods—they can absolutely find a vacant button to lay ns drop their attentive ears, plain cividans bow to their practical observations with respect; learned men, too, who have written of wars and. villanous saltpetre, without knowing, perhaps, the difference between ands broom stick, and'who have half a notion of ‘dmproving the Jate military incidents,’’ do not think ft benesth them te talk binndly and inquiringly to these young gentlemen; and so there fs such a roaring of military lions, such w | clamog of wilitary criticism, and such a he milit hat be, ‘that thelr peu the cf the military powers that be, that ir Corinthian, temples of our Sone of Pence and franqullliige re becoming the very altars of Bellona. ‘There iano doubt, however, that amidst » great deat nonsense, a eertain quantity of invaluable trath je gradually, developed.
