Mr. TWeep, on opening the meeting, sald that he was Gelighted to see such an immense gathering of the true democracy of the city af New York. Jv was an earnest to all good men that'the democracy were at last determined to wrest the government of the country from the grasp of those who now held tt. (Cheers.) In order that those whom he was aadress- Ing might be able to take part in the grand proces- 80 and help to swell tie immense and unprece- epted Hagan, that wquid e Witie Jatey march through treefs, and ti mable those who could not gel admission, and that they Might have au opportunity to hear otner speakers, he would make his remarks very briet. (Cries of “Go on, go 0n.") Mr, Tweed declin- ihg to go on under the e!rcurnstances he had referred to, closed his remarks by proposing ag presitedt of ol the mecting Mr A. Oakey Hall. Vovifecous applause greeted the mention of the May ue, aud bis nomination as president was enthusiastically and by acciamation carried, MAYOR MALL'S REMARKS. Mayor Hail, on coming forward, was again recetvea with applause. He said:—Fellow citizens, it would be hardly proper for me say “Come to order.” (Laughter,) For it would be agains: all the tradi- tions of Tammany Hall on an enthusiastic politi. cai occasion like this af its followers did come to order, ‘There cannot be @ perfect steam engine without an escape pipe, and there could not be a successful democratic mass meeting without a little disorder in the shape of enthusiasin. (Cheers. ) And when the delegation of cohorts o! the Tuumnany democracy sal) march and countermarcu in trontor this building there will ee be still greater dis- order of enthusiasm. We feei to-night precisely as schoolboys do on the eve of agame of cricket. We have got the wickets up in the shape of officers who are “In,” while men like Sigel and Greeley nave been placed to bow! tnem down. We are to guard the wick- ets as the schoolboys who see the game about to open and get ready for it. We to-night enthusiastically get ready for the game of political cricket to come Off next Tuesday—(applavse)—and say to the “outs,” “You are in the fleld, but you are not going to knock our wickets down.” (Cheers,) We are (he “ins” in the city and our opponents are the “outs,” and we exp to keep them there and to keep ourselves “in”? for the future, But you wust see to it on Fri- day and Saturday next, the days of final registra- tion, that you do your work to secure your innings, or the work will not and cannot be accomplished, Last year we restored contidence and we restored honesty to the Executive Chamber. (Applause.) We restored fairness and impartiality to the Senate Chamber. Iwo years ago we restored the alphabet of security to tne State in the election of the State ticket. It was the A BC of honest democracy—Alien, Bristol and Champlain and their associates, According to the traditions of democracy when its servitors have been proven, well tried and faithful, they are always renomtinated on the ticket. (Appiapse.) The State ticket on the other side is one o: resignation. In the first place the Convention at Syracuse made up their minds to be resigned to defeat. ‘That was the resiguation of the radical party generally to begin with, In the next place the candidate named for Secretary of State resigned the nomination— that was resignation number two, Their candidate for Comptroiier, General tMliihouse, decitned his nomination—that was resignation number three, Then Brigadier General Jack Robinsou, nomimated for State Engineer and Surveyor, also withdrew— that was resignation number four. As the canvass advanced we find other resignations put in trom federai officers, Barlow resigued aud has been suc- ceeded by Harlow—the difference only of a letver— that is ‘the letter of resignation, (Cheers and laughter), And Corbin and President Grant have quacrelled with their Butter-feid, ( Laughter.) And so we approach the final act of the campaign with every harbinger of success. In the place of the resigned Secretary of State they have substituted the name ol General Sigel—an attempt to catch @ certain kind of fish. In the piace of iilihouse they look about for a successor to take the place of one who was really an honest imap, and they substitute the name of Horace Greeley, who never knew any- thing about money uniees ‘to take care of that of other people when tt comes to him in a certain way, and they withdraw Robinson to present hin for the Senate, because by the constitution he was ineligible for the office, he not being © practical engineer and sur this campaign we have got to work.

One of the great objects of this tn- mense gathering and the asseublage around Union square is to inspirit tite democracy through. out the State and tell them that New York is wolng to lead tiem to victory.

Mr, ISAAC Beit then came forward and read the names of the vice presidents of the meeting, many of We names being received with cheers, pat- ticularly that of a Mr. Daniel O'Connell, whether on his own account or the association it called forth Was not apparent. A list of secretaries was thon read and the yote of the meeting was called for, and the vice presidents aud secretaries were unanimously elected, SPEECH OF 8 8. COX. The Chairman introduced the flrat speaker, Mr. 8.8. Cox, who, on coming forward, was warmly received. He sald the government was not exempt from the ills which articted other human societies.
