Vice Presidents Col Sandy Harris was, motion,
called to fill his place
Col Harris, taking the chair, addressed the
meeting at length, in a most eloquent manner lie
reviewed carefully the politics of the past time, and
noticed those of the present proving conclusivey to
all the orthodoxy of John Tylor's democratic princi
pies. He explained fully the differences between the
South and the North and showed that John Tyler
was neither Northern President nor a Southern
President, but President of the whole People His
remarks were interspersed with witty illusions and
courteous but effective sarcasm and the deep silence
| OF the assembly while he spoke, excepting occa
| sona involuntary burst Of feeling together with the
long Continued and enthusiastic applause which fol-
| lowed him when he concluded, showed how strong
| was the Impression made. tr1
Dr. English being called arose and addressed the
| meellng delivering short but most burning speech.
| lie poured forth flood of satire of the clusc
and excoIlatlng description and handled without
cy the unprincpled opponents Of President Tyler
who violate the coureses OF private life and the de-
cency of the press IN the extremity of their hated He
held up to scorn and contempt the mingled folly and
knavery which marked a certain clique in this city ;
and concluded by urging amid bursts OF enthusiastic
applause, Immediate and effective act on.
James F. Macauley, Esq followed Dr. English
with the following resolutions WHICH he preiaced by
short but sprt-stirIing address They were adopt
ed by accamation
Whereas The present able, and patriotic Chief
Magistrate of the United States has (since his acces
sion TO the Presidency encountered an opposition in
Congress, as malignant and unprincpled il has
been unprecedented and detrimental to every interest
OF the nation held sacied by republicans.
And whereas, This opposition has arisen fromthe
refusal on the part of the Executive 10 convert the
government into an engine of vast mischief to the
people-to lend his aid to the establishment Of
power recently wrested by an abused and insued ma
tion from Il Combination OF American Brokers' and
Foreign Capitalists ito bestow the patronage of the
government on uUholy cabal, formed to fost upon
the People their President man who has neither
their confidence nor their respect, and who has
been presented to them candidate without meet
ing with their verdict Of emphatic condemnation.
And whereas, The attempt by the ultra Wing
members of Congress, to create Bank of the United
States was gross violation otath, and base fraud
upon the people who voted for General Harrison and
MIR. Tyler, with the lmplled--in many instances
notwithstanding that measure often con
demned, and repugnant TO their republican princi-
pies and sympathies, had been abandoned by the
Wing party.
And whereas, John Tyler has throughout his life,
illustrated and exemplIted the private virtues
gallantry, generosity, dec SION, and benevolence
proved his claim to the confidence and veneration
his fellow citizens bv his discharge of the functions
of long array Of distinguished posts and his uni
form adherence to Democratic principles but, above
all by the manner in which he has met every cri.is
since his elevation, through the suiffages of his
trymen, and the voice of God to the first station in
the world
ary in tie ned States Senate Of factions hitherto
embtteled and hostile as they now united and
homo lcneous, is well calculated excite su picons
IN the mind OF the patriot that some unwor ny motive
ton seems 10 be alone directed to the overthrow OF
the President, apparently careless Of the they
employ.
Resolved, That the present crisis in the affairs OF
the Republic requires that the agents of the people
should be employed in Cooperating with the Execu-
tive, in deyisng remedy Tor the evils which affllci
the nation, instead Of grouping together in Oh
scure bar-oom al the Capitol, and like political
grimalkins, housing over petty stratagcms," to en-
barrass the Government and bring dscredit upon the
Administration.
Resolved, That every passing event admonshes
the people of the urgent necessity for their casting off
the trammes imposed on them by selfish partisan
leaders, and uniting, without reference to previous
| ahintes, in sustaining a Chief Magistrate who has
shown himself through long and brilliant public
career, consistent pupil of Jefferson, and who now
seeks TO administer the Government for the good of
the whole nation.
Resolved That with these views and feelings
this association has been formed and composed of
members of all the great political parties and that it
is now necessary for more efficient and organized ac
ton al the approaching elections form auxiliary
ward and tow nslp associations.
| Resolved, therefore, That comjnttee Of five be
appointed, residents of the city OF Philadelphia and
instructed to report at the next meeting of this asso-
citation plan for organizing the several wards of the
city, and that committee OF five from each of the
adjoining Congressional districts be also appointed
and Instructed 10 report similar plans for the
| ject IN their respective districts.
| Resolved, That the standing committee of cores
pondcnce be instructed for hwlth to open CORES
pondence with the friends of the Administration in
the several counties of the Commonwealth, TO
tain whether any and what mode of organization has
been adopted by them and also to gather the general
sense OF our friends touching the policy OF holding
State CONVEX ion some time duling the approaching
autumn.

buttons, appointed the following gentlemen commit
tee for dfvlsng the best mode of organizing the
