TYLER MEETING in THE PARK.

TYLER MEETING IN THE PARK:
Our readers will remember that the Tyler meet
ing, which assembled at Military Hall, Monday
week, Adjourned to re assemble in the Park last
evening, at o'clock. This IS a very convenient
hour for the assembling there Of Public Meeting,
People in general are on their way home up
town, from their work down town, at that hour. A
ana Parneaer nj persons were present, therefore,
The presiding officer of the Military IIuI iuee,-
ing was JamesL Curtis, Esq.-but as he was pro.
ceeding TO preside here, TO open the meeting Mi
chael Walsh (late from the seat OF war at Chepal-
chet) at the head Of detachment OF the famous
Spartan Band, dsorganized the intended arrange
ments. and forcibly elected the intended officers
from their seats, whereupon instead of MIR Curtis
Major Hopkins, well known Tammany man, was
made chairman in his stead, and other officers Of j
similar character were appointed.
Michael Walsh then proceeded 10 read long
string Of resolutions, not favorable to, very un
favorable to. MIR Tyler, which were not considered
ofsufficent importance by the audience to be heard
and certainly not Of sufficient importance to be re.
ported.
Mr. HEPBURN, of Georgia, followed the chief OF
1he Spartans in speech Of considerable LENGTH but
which we shall not give. He reviewed the course
Of MIR Tyler from the time Of his nomination at
Harrisburg TO the veto oil the little Tariff BILL and
designated which Of his acts he thought meri,ed the
praise OF democrats, and which the blame; but the
balance of praise was largely against Mr. Tyler.
His sanction Of the repeal Of the Sub Treasury,
said Mr. Hepburn, could never be forgiven, and not
all the vetos of banks and tariffs could ever expate
A. To MIR Tyler he willing to accord all the
praise and encouragement justly due, but his actions
and motives must be applied TO that touchstone OF
democracy, the principles OF Jefferson, Crawford,
and Gen. Jackson, and receive the appreciation OF
democrats no farther than they accorded to that
standard.
Another act ofMr Tyler he said should be well
understood by the democrats before they gave him
their support, and that was bis conduct in regard
the suffrage movement 10 Rhode Island, where Mr.
Tyler had acted directly contrary TO the principles
and feelings Of democrats in sending the troops Of the
General Government 10 overawe the rebels, under
the aimsy prelence Of protecting the public pro-
perry.
This last reason was given, said MIR Hepburn,
when Mr. Tyler discovered that the presence Of the
troops was disagreesbe TO his Democratic friends,
and very unpopular with state rights men-rishts,
said MIR ii. that every Democrat held dear as life
tsslf
In conclusion, Mr. Hepburn advised his Democra-
tic friends 10 consider well their dongs and 10 give
MIR Tyler credit for nothing more than he deserved
The only thing, said he, that can admit MIR TYLER
into foil communion with tie Democratic party, is
the expulsion Of his present cabinet, and calling
around him a cabinet OF sterling democrats. He
must resume the policy OF the last twelve years.
100, and this alone could be taken as evidence OF
his thorough repentance and sincerity. (Choers
and great appause.)
Jos HAZEL then took the stand. Job had
thick husky voice, as IT off, cted by a cold which
made his articulation confused. JOB had on n ruff.
De TO his shirt too which attracted the attention Of
the crowd.
Job commenced with saying that this spon,ano.
nus assembly OF the People bore witness what
feeling Of gratitude John Ty,et's vetoes had inspi.
red among his Dcmocr tic friends. (Thore WIS

their candidates, were almost in despair. They
could DO nothing but Temonstrate with and rsproach
the Fedoralsts who had got into power, but in Their
despair they were cheered from an unexpected quar-.
