and Members Of the House of Representatives in Cen.
gress assembled
When Mr.. Sanford read the 5th and 9Th resolr-
lu'ions relating to United States Bank, the IS Clay
Club Kissed, and made noise, and it was evident
that on that question they determined to kick
up muss. The resolutions, however, were Sc
conded, put to the meeting sltogetter, and carried
with about half dozen noes and Kisses
After this, the SO Clay men called out Separate"
"over again, ""put EN- separate, and we'll give ii
you stroneer-go it we cripples-oh! OH" and all
sorts ofcries.
man then jumped up and said the resolutions
were not strong enough about the Home Industry.
Foreigners were sending such tremendous quantities
Of goods here that they were carrying away all the
trade Of the country and he was ashamed to say
that many Americans, jobbers-Pearl street and
Wall street men, and so on. were helping them &c
do il and these few Americans were getting rich
by il, and riding in their carriages like nabobs, and
the poor industrious men were suffering (He was
loudly cheered OF course)
Then Mr.. Nathaniel b rose to offer subs'i
tute for the 5h and Oh resolutions about the tied
States Bank. Then there was great confusion, and
several outcries of " Too late"-" Go 1t Blunt
" Hear HIM" Separate"-" Bank"-" No Bank
=" Three cheers for Old Harry" meaning, we
suppose. Mr.. Clay. Then Colonel SandiOrd sad he
had the floor then Col. Sarkweather said some
thing like, Mr.. Chairman, wish TO make" and
he claimed the right to be heard but his Voice was
drowned in the general confusion. Finally, Colonel
Sanford courteously yielded the rostrum to Mr.
Blunt.

noises from the So Clay Club men. Finally, The
President put the first resolutions separate to the
meeting The first four were passed unanimous
on the 9th and 9Th, the ayes (the Tylerites) we've
strongest in number but the Clay men had the
strongest lungs. The Chairman declared 1t carrie d;
the Claymen bawled out that it was not and f.
naly by their terrible cutlery and rowdyism, which
threatened to break up the meeting, the Chairman
was induced to say the 4h and 5h resolutions were
rel ected and the Tyler men were SO disguised that
they would not vote at all.
Mr.. Blant said then, that, withou. one word OF
preface, he should move the following resolutions as
substitute for the 9th and Oh resolutions before
offered and adopted
BLuSr's RESOLUTIONS.
l. Resolved, That while deplore the action Of tn
~ as adopted at
the session of Congress we still trust the firm
and patriotism o. Congress for some new measure OF
relief.
?. Resolved. That wa deprecate the proposition 10 re-
peal the Distribution Act and calcula
ted deeply effect the rights and interests OF the old
ates whom tardy justice has been rendered oy pas
Resolved That We recommend to the calm and dis.
passionate Of Congress the necessity OF
promptly exertng the constitutional means in their
for the relief Of the country alike in regard to the
revenue necessary for the support Of the government
money from Executive control, and that have full
confidence that the appeal will not be unheeded.
MIR. N Blunt then commenced an attack on Mr..
Tyersaid that he had misrepresented the interests
Of the party that elevated him and that in these day
Of political degradation honesty was very rare
Had Mr. Tyler entertained constitutional scrupes
TO the Bank Bill he would have honored him but
five his secretaries had broadly contradIcted him
on this point, and asserted that he himself recon.
mended the last Bank Bill. (Cries of "COnstitu-
lional scruple! That's all CANNON Three cheers
for old Hary.')
Col Sanford rose and said that this had not been
called as party meeting; and he was going onto
speak further when the 36 Clay Club men, shouted,
hooted, groaned, and made all kinds of hidecus
noises imaginable, so that Gel Sanford left fhe plat
form in disgust at the conduct of Mr. Blunt's fol.

lion Of row, and the peaceable Tyler men left the
room The Chairman then put Mr. Blunts resolu.
tions amid the yelling Of the thirty-six Clay Club
men, and the Tyler men did notvote at all
The Chairman then put the remainder Of Colonel
Sandford's resolutions separate. They were all
passed except the eighth, which reads as follows -
Resolved That we meet here citizens of the United
States aid country in its depressed condition. by
urging Congress the speedy adoption of
of relief and the Introduction Of better and more cor.
position to the General Administration by which its
measures may be embarrassed or the property of
coun, jsopardized at period Of great public emergen
CIV.
And this resolution deprecating the factious con-
duet of those who have impeded the action Of
the Executive and injured the country, was actually
voted down by the very men who voted for Mr..
Blunts three resolutions, amidst shouts and yels and
Harry But whether they meant Old Scratch sr
Henry Clay, we could not tell. But iinay, the
Tyler men who remained and who quadrupled the
Clay men, came to the rescue and passed the eighth
resolution, as they could have passed the whole Of
them.
After this the meeting began to break up-he fun
was all over-the thirty six Clay Club men went off
to take drink and chuckle over their maneuvre.
Mr.. Lockwood mounted the stand but there few re-
manned 10 hear him.
