THE NEW YORK CLAY TRICK.
To hs Editor

New YoRK, April y, l542
To the Editor
Some of the friends Of Mr.. Clay and Phenir insert
ed anonymous calls in the papers, day or two since,
for Tgler meeting, TO nominate Tyler candidate
for Mayor in opposition to Phenir. II was previ-
ously arranged that the affair should break up in
row, and then heralded forth as an administration
failure Mr.. Monroe the nominee of the meeting,
may or may not have been privy to the shameful
hoax. His letter declining the appointment may and
may not have been written previous to the meeting,
at caucus held at the Office of the Courier and En-
quirer We will have full revelations in day or
two. That il was a trick of the "CLAY CLUBS"
there can be no doubt And that the insult will be
suffered to pass with impunity by the Administration
party here, do not belepe We may defeat Phenix's
election yet Yours,
A FRIEND.
p. S. The most ridiculous part of the Cla, trick
was the Juggling in of the name of Glentoorfh, the
ppe-iayer, concerned Now, it is known eve
rywhere that Glentworth was Clays pipe-layer, and
that he is not Tyler man, any body else's man,
since his confession and exposure of the corruptons
of the ultra Wings
Since the above was putin type, the New York
New Era came to hand, with the following ac-
count of the meeting If our correspondent is
not mistaken as TO the origin Of the affair, the
Clay Wings must be awfully disappointed at
the result. The storm they raised they could
not allay; the ball they set in motion they could
not stop $50 mote it be !"
ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE FIELD
THE TYLER MEETING
The meeting held at Washington Hall last evening
astonshed not only the friends of Tyler but the era
zy-headed partsans of Henry Clay. There could
not have been less than five thousands persons pre-
sent and the enthusiasm evinced for the President
by the Tyler Wings showed their determination to
oppose with candor and dignity the wild course OF
the Clay faction. The meeting was composed OF the
very elite of the Wing party-the sober, thinking
portion Of it. Colonel Alexander Hamilton was
| called to preside. The Vice Presidents were John
| ] Boyd, Edward Taylor, Peter S. Townsend, S. b.
Andrews, Joseph Weeks, Isaac FL. underhill, Rich
ard NJ. Hoe William J. M'Kee, Alfred Kershaw,
Lambert Suydam, John Remick Henry b. Bolster
Lewis NJ Crane, Ira B. Wheeler, Henry G. Steb-
bins, Frederick A. Gay, James T. Rogers, and d.
| Jackson.
The Secretaries were William R. Cooke, Mi
John S. Bowron, Samuel Bradford, Joel L. P. Smith,
| James Trouble, and John G. Loocher

conduct of the majority in Congress-showed their
neglect of every thing save the qualification Of their
personal hate and archaeological John Tyler for
his irmness and patriotism in vetoing the two bank
Disappointed the Exchequer plan as the best
system Of finance projected during this Administra-
tion-and concluded by reading long address and
series of resolutions, which adopted by very
large majority During the reading, band Of
| Unioniss came into the room, among whom, our re-
porter informs us, Silas Chckering, their Presi-
dent. These attempted, in connexion with gang Of
custom-house officers, by shouting and kissing at in
tervals to disturb the harmony of the meeting The
attempt did not, however, succeed Among the re-
solutions, was one rendering the nomination to James
Monroe, as the Tyler Wing candidate for Mayor,
and in the event of his declination, Messrs. Thorn
son. Hamilton, and MKec, were deputed to select
another candidate. This adopted by acclama-
ton. After the meeting adjourned, the rioters, who
were deputed doubtless for the purpose remained in
the room until after the lights were put out, and
commenced an attack upon the rosrum benches,
chandeliers, sc. They vented their spleen on things
inanimate for some time, and then retired On the
whole, we think this meeting most emphatic de-
monsraton that Mr. Tyler has fast hold of the lib
eral portion of the Wing party.
We understand, since writing the above, that halt
dozen or more of the Clay rioters are arrested and
safely lodged in the tombs.
