The New York Organ says: The great ga
thering in the Park on Monday evening, real
lied the most sanguine anticipations of its
friends and projectors. The numbers present
could not have been less than five thousand
and more orderly, and at the same time en-
thusiastic. .assemblage, never collected beneath
the starry canopy. A significant feature at
that meeting, was the dense throng Of the
working classes closely collected around the
speakers stand, great proportion of them
Irish laborers, and who appeared fully to ap-
preciate the deep interest they really have in
this great reform.


The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Leb-
beus Chapman, Alexander Welsh, William
E. Dodge, Abraham Often, Hon. S. F. Cary,
of Ohio, and Rev. G. w. Denison, of Boston;
men well known for their untiring industry in
the great movement of Total Abstinence


The exercises were enlivened by band of
music, and between the several addresses
songs were sung by Messrs. Warden, Macdo-
nough, Mckinney, and Powers.


A preamble and set of resolutions in favor
Of the license law as enacted by the last legis-
lature, and in favor of extending its provisions
to the city Of New York, were offered by Mr.
H. H. Denison, and carried unanimously.


On the whole, (says the Organ,) we antici-
pate that much good will result from this
meeting. A large number of signatures were
obtained to the pledge, and before the adjourn
ment it was announced that similar meeting
will be held on Monday evening next, last
Monday evening" in Tompkins square.
