Meeting OF Democrats from the south.
Those Democrats from the South who are now
IN this ely, asse mbled yesterday afternoon in
Iammany Hall, at O'Clock, TO receive the report
OF the Committee Of Arrangements, which had
been appointed for the purpose Of supervising the
preparations desirable TO be made with reference
TO their attendance al the New Jersey Democratic
State Convention, which takes place to-day.
The Hon. John Bragg, of Alabama, presided
and F. M. Levison, Of Georgia, was chosen Sec
retary The President having asked ii the Secre-
taIy was ready TO report,


J. G. SHoRrER, of Alabama, Secretary of the
Committee of Arrangements, came forward for
that purpose. He observed that the time was hardly
sufficient to provide, amongst other things, ban
ner worthy 10 be carried before the brave sons OF
the South, now in New York but had made ar
rangements for the passage to Trenton, as well
as for accommodation there, and band Of
music TO accompany them He called their
notice 10 the badges which had been adop-
ted, read the mottos, and In doing so elected a
warm response in the form of several rounds of
applause. The mottos wrre--"1 Union must
and shall be preserved" "The sunny South will
not be wanting in November" The badge was Of
satln-tae color chosen being crimson, only be-
cause II was distinct from that Of The Democratic
Empire Club and others, bur because ii was thought
congenal with the dark complexion and warm spi-
rits OF the southern men. (Applanse) Without
any wish to say more, he could not avoid inform
ing them that +. M. Lsvson, of Georgia, was cIo-
sen one OF the marshals at the convention to-mor-
row, and more fitting one could not be appointed.
(Applause.) More than thai, he had himself caus-
ed banner tn be prepared. (Cheers) After sta
ting the amount of expense their regulations would
Impose al about $40 or $50, of which band ot
music would form large item, Mr. 5 concluded
by remarklng that that would be an occasion on





the means not be forthcoming in anyoher manner,
he would see il provided himself. Loud Cheers


The report having been adopted,a gentleman en-
CURED, what place was chosen for assembling.
as the hour would be found too early. This remark
replied to by the observation from the first that
in that cause no hour should be too early, or no
place considered inconvenent for any one.


II was at length agreed that the force should rally
at the ferry-boat, at half past five O'Clock in the
morning. This concluded the regular business be-
fore the meeting but there being loud calls for Mr..
Shorter, he addr ssed them in an energetic manner,
and was followed by Mr.. Bethune of Georgia; both
gentlemen were well received, and the meeting
then adjourned sine die.


LISTS OF ARRIVALS, &c.-A NuIsANcE.--We
have received several complaints from merchants
and others coming to this city, Of their names be-
ing published directly after their arrival, in the
newspapers. In one paper in particular, which is
known among the dry goods dealers and other
wholesale warehouses, as ''the Drummer's Ga
zette." They say that in consequence, no sooner
are their names announced than they are assailed
in all manner OF ways by circulars and personal ap-
plication by the drummers of the different dealers
to such an extent that they cannot get meal with
out being called away some two or three times by
one or another oithese annoyances recommending
their goods, and in their avocations pursuing the
unfortunate from the lower to the uppermost story
of the buildings in which they may happen to
soJourn One victim, clergyman from the South,
who happened to have the same name as an exten.
slve dealer In dry goods from the same neighbor-
hood, was so assailed by number Of drumnlers,
that ne was obliged to take private apartments
The merchants themselves complain Of the system,
as spreventng them from looking around unannoyed
IN search of the goods they require. 1t may be
very proper to notice the arrival of persons Of dis
tnctlon from foreign parts, or those in the public
service, together with celebrated artists and writer's
beyond this, it is evident the matter is quite nui-
sance, and ought to be put down.


SALE OF FINE OLD WINEs-It was announced
in the papers OF yesterday that peremptory sale
Of some choice articles OF this nature weuld take
place at Messrs. d. G.. and w. Pel 81 Co.'S, in
Wall street, but at the hour appointed there were
but few individuals present, and these more de-
srous Of tasting than purchasing. Samples Of seve.
raj choice brands were brought forward, their
qualities dilated upon in the usual manner, but,
alas, no bidders Even parcel Of March & Ben
sons Black Warrior did not call forth any thing
like selling bid. Only few parcels of the CON-
mon, every day sort Of wine, were disposed of.
The question will naturally arise, how has this
great change been brought about! II is but a short
time since that such an announcement would have
caused all the wine bibbers of New York and iis
vicinity to assemble together at the desired spot,
and in their anxiety to possess few choice cam
pies OF this article, run one another up to the tune
OF some six or seven dollars a bottle. Has the
cause Of temperance accomplished this feat, or
have the men OF taste in such matters not yet re-
turned from the watering places, and other paris
for scourning to in the season7 Or is it that
money is scarce? We are anxious to know.
