10 assemble in May next, very large number OF the
Tenth ward democracy assembled at the above

| The iargeness of the meetng-one of the largest

Mr.. Newman, of the Tenth ward, then addressed

The resolution committee then came in and re-
ported the following resolutions which were read
and adopted unanimously.
AS portion of the electors of the United States
here assembled, we hold that it is our privilege and
duty to give free utterance to opinions in rea-
ton to the preferences entertain for the person
we intend to select our candidate for the next
Presidential term
lst, Then, we prefer John Tyler, of Virginia, be-
cause his public acts, while performing the duties of
President, establish this ncontrovertible truth,
~ that he has saved the American people from the
curse OF whg measures and wing expectations. And
further, because when surrounded and besieged by
cohorts OF the give the Legislative patrimony Of tie
people, he nobly rose TO the lotest altitude of the
patriot, aLd by the interpostion of his constitutional
vetoes he shook from him the promises and threats
which had long been excited by the yeangs Of that
rapacous stomach which disends itself in vol
ume and capacity, in proportion food is provided
by the dishonest stewards whom it is the misfortune
OF nations to appoint as the supervisors of the public
table.
Cd. We prefer John Tyler our candidate, be-
cause we conceive, that as through him the of
federalism have been beaten back, and that as the
wing party endorses Henry Clay as its nominee and
champion, it becomes duty of with democratic
party to place him at its head in the coming conflict
who, single handed and alone maintained the battle,
and successfully check-mated every movement Of his
formidable adversary
Resolred, That, if the claims of Mr.. Tyler does
not enlist the earnest attention of the Convention at
Baltimore, we shall regard such neglect as melan-
choy evidence that parties intent bolster
ing up men OF their own creation than they to
use just and beneficial discrimination in ralyng to
the support of such as, unaided by such powerful
machinery yet uphold the rights of the people from
high conviction of duty. If the proud conscious
of the patriot in having faithfully discharged
most sacred trust to his fellow-ctizens is to meet
with no well tmed-response from those he serves,
then are the people most shor,-sighted in sustaining
their own welfare. But this meeting will not allow
that the freemen of this country can be so negligent
OF their happiness, for events illustrate that the
public men who have made sacrifices, have not
made them in uain, and that, as consequence, we
cannot but believe that the American people will
yet gather in their str ngth and manfuy sustain him
VINO shielded them from dreaded calamties in the
most gloomy phase of our political history.
Resolved, That as democrats we desire union, har-
mony concession, as all these things essential to
success, and that we therefore approve of National
Convention, and that said Convention shall be
posed OF delegates chosen in each Congressional Dis
rlc and whose votes shall be given per capita for the
persons who shall be placed in nomination.
Resolved, That while are ardently and devoted
~ attached to the cause of John Tyler, and deter
mined to make every laudable exertion for his
cess, yet will we on occasion wanOnly assail any
OF the other distinguished candidates, whose claims
for the Presidency may be advocated by other por-
tons OF the Democracy; motto shall bea fair
field and favor for all competitors, up the pc
Rod Of the Baltimore Convention, and then whoever
may be the successful candidate will find TO the
winds all prejudice preference, and unit,dy rally
for the general cause.
Resoiped, That the thanks of this meeting are due
to those democrats who unawed by the dictatorial
rawlings of certain press, have accepted the highest
offices Of trust under democratic President.
Some resolutions offered by Major Frazer were
read and adopted also several by MIR. f. E. New
man, who afterwards addressed the meeting with
great enthusiasm in strain highly eulogistc Of the
President; he reviewed his many acts emitting him
to the consideration of the democratic party. During
Mr.. MS speech, he was repeatedly cheered.
John Commerford, Esq, then addressed the meet
ing, and was enthusiastically applauded at the con-
clusion of his remarks.
After remarks from several other gentlemen, the
meeting broke up with tremendous cheering.
