The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1842-09-05

The editor OF the esprit Of the Times"
whose account We append below, puts spuit in
TO every thing he could make merry al u iune-
ral-whicb account, ior his sKaggeration a 10
numbers. Yet. any one who knops ham, can
see At once that he coHdoies with The poor doom
ed Whigs:
About a quarter before si1 O'Clock the passengers
landed AT DECK street wharf which W. as cup,ed by
dense crowd ot IL ali political compIex ions
women, children, and little dog. As they came
ashore, nose, composed Of cheers and groans curl
ousy Intsrmlnged, rent the AIR and immediately at
forwards the parties seated themselves ia the vehicles
tina, had been provided for them and started in grand
procession.
First came gentleman on horseback, with trum-
pet. Then came General Provost, and following hun
number Of young looking individuals, who, repre-
sentcd, We suppose, the Clay faction Nett followed
~ cabs, carriages and wagons, each containing
members OF Congress and friends. Some of
the toimer looked sober enough and some looked IA
Their the for the frolc. After them followed
one two hoIsemen, and some boys, and thus ended
the cortege.
On the whole it was a rather decent affair, though
the Wings on the pavemens aud IN the streets, who
stood eycIng the fuss seemed Ia doubt whether TO
slider themselves bound To laugh or be sorry One or
two referred the point to u.s. but the for this
jubilee was beyond our comprehension, we could not
enlighien them. We imagined il was TO make Wing
capital for the DC obcr eiectionas the Wings Of the
city almost in despair about it-and we suspect
far from the truth. Vire Phumbvg!
As the procession passed the State House, It was
greeted with three cheers for Tyler!
The Mass Meeting.
In the evening, the front Of the Exchange on Dock
street was illuminated with a multitude oftsow can
dies, and adorned with two huge signs Of
Clay and TARIFF.
BY o'clock in pursuance Of the grand call, some
five thousand spectators assembled in front Of these
candles, and some six behind them. They be-
onged to all parsies--Whigs Democ ats, and Tyler
nicely inlermix ed--here streak Of fat-there
streak Of ean-and once in while, little bone and
grstle. gentleman now arose and said something
which we could not hear; Immediately after which,
(if not sooner,) our friend, McMichae arose, and in
his usual fsl'cous and i..inua.ing manner, euosssed
Mr.. Clay, and called MIR. Tyler some Of the very
naughtiest names in the vocabulary. He was follow
ed by MoreheaJ, of Ky.--then by Hals,ed. of N j.
Fillmore-Stanly-King Of Geo.--U ndel wood, Of
ky.-Ma'hiot, Of Ohio-and f. Joy Morris, of this
city. The latter closed by proposing a resolution of
thanks 10 the Wing M ca present for their cons,s-
tent fidelity to the principles Cd which elected Gen.
Harrisonl The meeting began and ended with nine
cheers for the NJ C's present and absent sober and
otherwise. George Munday then mounted the railing
around the Bank opposite and when We came away
was makiog sad havoc with Her Majes,y's English.
As Byron Says
All we saw in the las, confu ion was
That George he slipped into the place for one,
And when the iumult dwndled 10 a calm,
We left him practising the hundredth psalm.
George was taken incontincntly TO the police Of
