Wdshington's Birth Day Tyler Dinner U. S. Bank
Meeting-Boz is coming to this CITY, giques out
Ciqued. tsfa
This is the anniversary Of the birth day of the
Father of his country; and never have seen it
more generally celebrated by the parade Of our vo
lunteers Our streets have presented continued
hustle and parade Martial music and the hurra
of ragged urehins have filed the air with most vii
famous discord.
The friends of President Tyler, who dine ct the
Assembly Building, are just now assembling in
pretty strong force. BENZ W. Richards, Esq the
gentleman who was once mayor OF the city, and
has once or twice since been the candidate of the
democrats for the same post is to be the pres ident
Of the day. Mr. r 10 and ever was moderate man
in his politics He 10 worthy and highly res pee
table grocer, of the firm Of Lppencott Il Richards,
and will probably be the candidate of the friend
next fall. against The Clay candidate fer that post
Y TIE great meeting yesterday at the U. S. Bank
exctes considerable interest here, and that to be
held on the second Tuesday in April bids fair, at
the present time, to be even mere exciting assem-
bage than that held yesterday. It seems to Be deter
mined that the whole Of the assets of the nstitu-
tion shall be plundered. The contest now is be-
tween the fnaneers and the lawyers. It's pull
Dick, pull Devil.
Boz is coming to Philadelphia The "clique"
which was plotting . sshe me to have him all to
themselves, have been handsomely counterplotts
by three four plain respectable, citizen mech;
les. You kaow the literary clique Of this city
every body does By its arrogant tone and swollen
pretentions-wcll, some of the members of this
clique, am informed, invited Boz to this city, and
were very particular to have the invitation very
select To these gentlemen, Bog returned poll e
negative. How he, stranger in the country,
should have been enabled TO decide so wisely, am
unable TO state. The presumption is, rs the cor
resPondcnce has not been published, that he smet
them through the letter Of Invitation as audbly as
mouse smells burnt et eese. 1t is declared by all
too wise for chance 1e iaaHmJ ~
Well, these n en- having been refused. three or
four plain citizens sent him letter Of invita- ion,
asking to meet him and honor him in plain wav.
when his convenience sLOuli bring him hither
To this he promptly returned an Affirmative answer,
expressed in the same flank and cordial terms OF
the invitation. But one of the gentlemen invit-
an w1s.p Of n,d.s sn5
poetry. Another is, or was hatter-a pleasant,
good looking Colonel, nos in Office a. Secretary 10
the Board Of Control of our Public Schools. The
third is vender Of news papers, magazines, &c 4,
and the fourth is respectable Journe lyman printer
Boz acled wisely in his selection of the two invita-
tons. These men he can met without restraint !;
but with the frankuess, which from his writings j.
50 evidently one Of the promiaet charactcristcs Of
his character.
There is nothing new in q financial way to day
State stocks fell to $40 per share ia currency
lower than ever before. All stocks fell off or
less.
