THE CLAY MEETING THE TYLER
MEETING

No doubt the papers far and wide, will magnify the
recent meeting IN this city in favor OF MIR Clay into
something of mast extraordinary magnitude and i'm
portance; when to tell The simple t:uth, any
thing but a great meeling-in tact, was but third
rate wing meeting compared w tn the average OF
their excited poi zeal meeungsnot over half as large
as the ceebrNe1 meeting held at the same place
denouuce MIR Tyler for exercising the veto power,
and which was addessedby Selien and Starkweathcr;
and The speeches on Wednesday night IF we oui
the violent denunclali of Captain Tyler) Of
the most common place character.
We know not how it is, hut the wings always seem
to be guilty of some most egreg blunder in their
political meeting arrangements. Hence, on Wednes
DAY night instead If putting forth pure fresh, talent
td men, as The organ oil the meeting and TO address
II, they put forth the hacks that have tined the
ears OF the wings for the last five years Thus
had one but MIR Joseph Hoxe, Mr. N. B. Blunt
Mr. Willis Hall, Mr.. David Graham &c. All very
90 I'D aid worthy men IN their place and station, but
sril not lheIig ht kind OF men to commence and
bold movement, requiring vast talents lofty eoquence,
great comp, hensvcn SIS OF mind, purity OF principles
and above all not only NJ desire To become msera-
bile office hunter, but hIgh-mnd,d and patriotic de
termination never TO AXE office Instead of hich
we have TO lead direct, and regulate he whole
ing, four highly respectable gentlemen, distinguished
Tor little else but their desire to get office place and
perqusltes, and the enaclty with which they cling to
office. Sill they ARE all honorable men, Of course !
All! Though they office holders and hunters
But how much more influence they would have if the
reverse was the case.
AS a set-of TO the Clay meeting, we have had
very arge Tyler meeting this week, at the Military
Hall in the Bowery at which the following reso
uons passed unanimously and amid great
applause. Alderman De Lalnater was in the
CHAIR
LIST. Resolved, That the present alarming condition
of our country, produced, we firmly believe by the
neglect of our Representatives in Congress attend
to the business of the nation, and the urgent
sill he IN inn di,t
lion every patriot and every freeman in the United
States.
ID Resolved, That the President of the United
5 acs has with ability, patriotism and integrity,
fulfilled all his duties as Chief Magistrate of the
Union.
3D. Resolved, That the distribution Of the avails
of the public lands among the State Governments at
time like the present, when the Treasury is entirely
empty, is mprovident and unwse.
4h Resolved, Tint as American citizens, proud
OF the institutions of country feel deep regret
in witnessing ne datory conduct of our representa-
tlves in Congress, where 1t would indeed seem, that
unmindfu of the principles of common justice, and
regardless of the wishes and wants of the people they
devong their time to concerted opposition 10 the
Chief Magistrate.
9Th. Resolved, That it has become the imperative
duty of the people TO prepare for their welfare
and safety, w therefore earnestly invoke How
citize of the different wards promptly to call public
meetings for the purpose of choosing five delegates
from each ward, TO meet at Military Hall, in the
Bowety, on the third Monday of July next, at eight
o'clock, P. M, TO form Republican Committee to
deliberate upon the best means of providing for the
public welfare.
Il is hgh time that we had some repose from these
political agItatons; and so the people will see before
long, as soon as The madness and folly of the ultra
Bank whig party becomes fully developed Wait
a while, and we shall have superb explosion and
general breaking up and scattering of the political
elements to the four winds of Heaven Still the
country is safe
