NO3IINATION (IF PRESIDENT.
Areably to invitation in the public papere, a meeting of citizens
of New York. friendly to the election of Andrew Jackson to the
office of President of the United States, was holden last evening at
the Tammany Ilan. The assembly was highly respectable In
number and character. The apectious hall was about two-thirds
tilled ; and we think it due to the meeting to remark, that we have
never witnessed at any. popular meeting at the same place so much
regularity and order en- the proceedings. The meeting was called
to uwdee by Samuel Swartwout, Esq. who moved that Morgan
Lewis,late Governor of this State, take the chair, which motion
was carried unanimously ; and Cadwallader D. Colden, late Mayor
of this city, was unanimously chosen Secretary.
Mr. Swartwout then stated, that the object of the meeting was
to nominate and recommend General Andrew Jackson. the hero of.
New Orleans. for the office of President, and with that view he
offered Mc Resolutions, which he read to the meeting :
ItesAveil —That it Is the right, and, at the present crisis, the
duty of the people to assemble and express their opinions and

dent of the United States, and recommend him as worthy of their
confidence the approbation of the American people.

manders that this country has ever produced ; and we will cordially
unite with them in effecting his election.
Resolved—That the election of Gawp Washington and James
Monroe—associates in 111111, in the struggle of our revolution...4o
the Chief Magistracy of the Union, are examples worthy to be
followed by the election of one of the last of our revolutionary
patriots, to the lint office in the gift of the nation.
After Mr. Swartwout had read the preceding reallutlons, he
addressed die meeting in a speech of about twenty minutes, in
which lie took a brief view of the cannv of (letieralJarkson, from
the early period of his youth, when he enlisted as a soldier in the
revolutionary army, up to the present time, and replied to the
charges which have been arrayed against General Jackson, of over.
stepping the bounds of the constitution, of manifesting a tytannkal
disposition, and exalting the military over the civil authority.
Mr. Swartwout then spoke of the propriety of nominating •
candidate for Vice-Prriiitlivit, and briefly adverted to the talents and
114. TV ices of Mr. Calhoun, and concluded with submitting the fol.
lowing resolution i—
liesoircil—l'hat we cherish unlimited confidence in the talents,
the integrity, firmness, and republican principle,' of John C.
Calhoun—that we remember with 'wide and gratitude, his bold,
manly, and patriotic awry on the door of Congress, and his wise
and vigilant conduct as a member of the Cabinet ; and that we
therefore recommend him to the people of the l'oited Mates, tor
