had been true to the almighty principles of Democra
cy. He called for the voice of the assemblage-had
Mr.. Tyler been 500 and if such was their convic-
ton to proclaim it by three cheers. Loud and con-
tinued cheering) He averled, from Conviction thai
the administration Of John Tyler ofthe great
est blessings our glorious form of Government On
four different occasions had he since the reigns OF
power had been placed in his hands, thrown back the
Vaccinations of the Federal Wing" party, and put
aside their futile attempts to trample on the honest
democracy of the Union. He contended, he deserv-
ed to be supported in his fearless course more parlcu
larly regarded his Veto in overurning the savage
undertaking of the Wings in the endeavor to build up
another United States Bank. He considered the De-
mocracy the free citizens of the land, and they were
bound oppose thosewhose Vaccinations tendedo des-
troy that glorious blessing He looked upon John Tyler
ofthe Almightys blessings to free people :
and although to him, in private point OF view a
stranger, he would support him heart and hand 80
long he carried out the true principles OF Demo-
crazy.
Mr.. Michael Walsh next addressed the meeting.
He said that crisis had arrived in the affairs of our
country when all were called upon to express their
sentiments. clique or set of men were around,
who were willing to set at naught every great and
glorious deed of Mr.. Tyler because he had commit
ted solitary act that in his wisdom he considered
mete but by them considered not to be consistent
with Democratic principles. The Federal Wings
had sent forth their dirty rags to buy up the very food
of the people that that party by their eniency had
considered to be treason to applaud the measures OF
John Tyler, when that self-same clique or cllques
had appauded to the skies the selfsame acts of Gen
eral Jackson, when he our President. John 1y-
ler in vetoing the Of the Wings to build up
their pet, the United States Bank, stood alone, and
his conduct was therefore the to be priced and
applauded.
After some further remarks commendatory OF the
career of MIR. Tyler, he concluded very neat and
appropriate speech.
Colonel Arnold was next called for He regarded
it as matter of nothing more than common honesty
and justice to applaud the principles and acts that
had actuated Mr.. Tyler in his course, since ne had
been placed at the head Of our Government He
dwet with much earnestness on the manner IN which
Mr.. TJ Ter had come to the rescue of true Democra-
tic principles, and adverted to the conduct OF the
Wings in not having put forth practically those prln-
ciples which they professed to entertain In lS4O. he
considered the nomination of John Tyler by the
Wings, for the Vice Presidency, ruse to get the
votes of the Southern States. They well knew at
the time his principles, that they purely Demo
cratic. Some Of the Democratic party were tender
footed and did not like to come boldly and honorably
out and express th.r appreciation OF MIR. Iyers
course, from fears that by so doing some OF their I'M
mediate friends might suffer by that course lie
commended that Mr.. Tyler had acted as an honest
man. and no better proof be given OF it than the
denunciation of his acts by the Federal Wing party
loud cheering)
The President then announced that another meet
ing would be held on the Battery, at half past
o'clock, p M, on Monday next.
On motion, the meeting then adjourned.
