One Of the Wing papers of city charges the
getting up Of the late meeting relative 10 the Ashhui-
ton dinner ia the State House Yard upon some OF the
friends of MIR. Tyler, and adds "Never, indeed
could such an opportunity again occur Of cementing
the long desired union betreen the Tyler and Demo

There is some truth in this idea, about "perteeting
the union" Besides, il is at last admitted that there
is Tyler party in Philadelphia.
One of The SPEAKERS at the meeting taking a
drink of cold water that the stage gave his
toast president Tyler" which was received with
the most rapturous applause The union seems daily
to be growing frmer AID imer and doubtless chat,

Tur TAs,vr Qursr,os-Where docs the Demo
cratic party stand in relation to the question Of q

since, of the Albany Argus, while It was reading
long lecture on "tho duty Of the Democracy" Du'
we have, rs yet, received no answer: we Pr. no
query again and we bog the Argus, which undertakes
TO speak for the Democracy Of the State, 70 lot W
know what its opinions are in regard TO the principle
We will confess frankly that the resolution and adj
dress of the Syracuse Convention affords US no clear
light. They have been attentys'y read ana re-rcao
by u.s. but we can not find that our notions Of the po-
stion of the great Democratic party are at all rem
dered more precise and definite
The resolution of the Convention is as follows;
"Resolyed, That we are the friends of perma-
nent tariff sufficient to meet the wants Of the Gov
eminent, economically administered, and discrimina-
ting in its character a. to afford protection to the
mechanical and manufacturing, without burdenng the
agricultural and planting interests and while we dis
approve of Of the provisions Of the present To-
riff being so high as to be prohibitory, and thus
preventing revenue, we approve OF the vote OF our
Senator, Silas Wright, Jr., he being compelled to
vote for this bill none, and his negative vote would
have continued the horizontal tariff, taxing equally
the necessares of the poor and the luxuries Of the
rich, and have left the Government without adequate
to pay its debts and the people of this great
nation would have been dsgraced in the eyes Of the
civilized world"
We do not propose to discuss the question Of pro
lection at this time, but viii protest against
the spirit Of this resolve. II recognises did the
vote Of MIR. Wright, the principle of protection-a
principle unjust in its very essence SO that as an In
dividual having distinct notions this subject, we
cannot give it our appreciation.
