SECOND TYLER MEETING.

SECOND TYLER MEEllND
The proceedings of q meeting held at Hermitage
Hall in the l7lh Ward, which we this day publish
are pretty conclusive evidence of the increasing POI
puarty of President Tyler amongst the old kePubli-
cans of the Jefferson aud Madison school, In this ci-
~ That meeting, which was at{sixa@d by many men
Of the highest standing and mos$S>~511haDdng innu-
ence amongst us--meD long known as the consistent
and unhinohing Republicans Of former days, whose
minds are not TO be swayed by the camors OF the I'M
reasonable and violent partisans of any party, but
who met for the purpose OF expressing their conn
dence in the Chi Magistrate Of the nation, and to
encourage him in his work of well-dong-is destin-
ed TO tell upon the future standing and strength OF at
least one Of the great political parties here-and to
xtend the fame and esteem of him, whom II has
been the policy and pride Of the violent and unjust
amongst TO prescribe by abuse and by threats TO
put down. 1t appears by the resolutions Of the mem
bers OF that meeting, that they dscaim The intention
of starting any principles, or forming any NEW
political party''-and that they assembled with no
other views than those of Republicans of the old
school, to stand by the country, and to give their
manly, steady and firm support TO true Republican
Administration; and that they invite all others who
think with them to organize promptly, and aid them
in these their intentions.
The object then is distinctly avowej TO be, not tn
a tempt to break down the landmarks of any existing
party as saeh-not to their anathemas against
those who differ with them In opinion, but simply to
support the Chief Magistrate OF the naion, as an no.
nest Republican in ali the measures of his Admins
,ralion that they believe to be beneficial to the country
and calculated To promote the common veal. This,
although OF tse! perfectly proper, and intended to
ham one, will yet no doubt beget the eninity OF
al those who profess TO believe that the President
do nothing right and excite the jealousy Of the uras
Of other parties, from an apprehension that 1t Will
trench upon their strength and d. tact from their nu-
merca power. And Notwithstanding the taunts OF
of The Wings, that the meeting was not near SO
numerously attended as their own, yet despite these
rh.tIp he
them may live to the time when what they are
pleased to contemn small party may, Ike
the little OF The mountain, without hands,
continue To enlarge Itself until II fill the land. But
with whatever eyes some profess to view this move
inent as injury to the great republican party, we
assured that It is not intended for any such pur-
pose, but to induce all republicans to support the Ad
mnstration in all patriotic and proper measures cal
culated to promote the best interests of the whole
people. 1t is not expected, however, that the lead
ers of the Clay party will condescend to speak of
this meeting with any other than language of resent
ment and reprobation. They see and they know
that crisis is approaching when the rock Of their
strength will be rven by the thunder of the party
they now profess to despise; and that its growing
arm of strength will yet pull away the legs of their
mighty western Colossus, and tumble the pride of his
hopes TO the earth. The secession OF the thousands
from their ranks, with which they had hoped to swell
the surges OF their ascendancy, account of the ter
ribe intolerance they exhibt-will leave them in the
pitiless plight OF party whose own violence worked
its ruin. Whatever boastings of their strength
they may therefore put forth--and however much
they may herald the fame and the popularity of their
candidate, with hope to carry by clamoI what they
cannot by their votes they will discover, when it
will be too late for them to repair their error that
an honest Chief Magistrate, whom they endeavored
in every way to circumvent, will have more genuine
friends to sustain the republican acts of his Admins
tration than Henry Clay will to elevate him to the
Presidential chair.
