TYLER CONVENTION AT COLUMBUS.


August and was more numerousy attended, than anti'
cpated A very handsome address was delivered by
John A, Bryan, resolutions passed, and number of
speeches made. Gen. Murphy, IIarrsOn's great gun
of lsAO, spoke hours, and showed up Clay whiggery
from the day ofthe Harrisburg Convention, till The day
they burnt John Tyler in eigy. Among other things
he said that Harrison would have vetoed tho bank bills,
lust as Tyler did, and that the same body
together that nominated Harrison, they would nominate
TYLER for the next Presidency, in preference to Clay
He appealed 10 Tom Corwin, who present, to say
rhe wings eyer broached hank, in that year, and if
they did not denounce it, when hurled in their teeth by
the Democracy. But we give part ofhis own story
taken from Columbuspaper:
I'Gen VIM. Murphy, ofChicothe, took the stand
as per arrangement and spoke for several hours. He
said he was delegate to the Harrisburg Convention
which nominated Harrison, and that the convention
was composed ofthGse parties: Firsthe Clay mou who
went strongly for u S. Bank; secondly the Scott
and thirdly, the friends ofGen. Harrison, and haf of
The latter were decidedly opposed to institution Of
the kind The convention agreed not to name the bank
The Democratic party charged the delegates with sEu-
king the question, and asked the whg party, and my
self among the number, why we did not publish an Ad
dress, embodyng our principles. To tell the truth,
gentlemen we were afraid 10 do so. (Roars o laugh
Ter and appause.) One fellow in the convention, who
had not quite long head as the rest OF US, did pros
pose resolution ofthis kind but oh no, said old Wat
kins Leigh who was bank mah, that will never do,
we cannot 90 before the people on that question, as
we will be defeated. &c. gentlemen, We concluded
not 10 make an address for fear should be swamped,
TLoud aughter) We argued in this manner; we must
either make an address, or we must not. If we pub
lish an address, must 90 for bank, or we must 60
against it, and if we take ground fora bank we would
be beaten and if we went against It the democrats wOt
find we were DsnCere, and the bank men might be
made lukewarm; therefore we thought it best to make
no disclosures for the public eye, md to remain silent
as to our principles.
John Tyler, gentlemen is carrying out the principles
of that convention and of General Harrison. They
vaded the question of the bank & declared themselves
opposed to it, and SO did all ofns who took the stump;
al least did and SO think brother Corwtn, who
now sits before understand that even IN this city,
aspeech was made in ls4O in favor OF bank und the

Clay, and the Clay wings in toto determined to 60 no

shall see curious things this year. The Corwin wings
were enraged that they refused TO let them have the
Court House. The last drop makes the cup run over.
ANOTHER BOMB SHELL INTO WElIGGERY

letters, to be written by Capt. John Dufey in which he
promises to tear the coon skin off of Whggery. Capt.
