terday, for meeting at Vandewater's, ~ Ludlow
street Of the democratic republican electors of the
Tenth Ward friendly to regular nominations for the
purpose OF adopting measures for advancing the
claims OF John Tyler before the National Convention
10 assemble In May next, very large number Of uie
Tenth ward democracy assembled at the above
named place.
The la,geness of the meetng-one Of the largest
ever held in the ward-and the enthusiasm which
prevailed AMONG those present, were calculated TO
give additional confidence to the friends Of the adml-
nistraton in this city.

Mr. Newman, of the Tenth ward, then addressed
the meeting, and was received with great favor.
The resolution committee then came in and re-
ported the following resolutions, which read
and adopted unanimously.
As portion of the electors of the United States
here assembled hold that il is privilege and
duty to give free utterance to opinions in rela-
ton to the preferences we entertain for the person
w
Presidential term.
LIST, Then, we prefer John Tyler, of Virginia, be-
cause his public acts, while performing the duties Of
President, establish this ncontroyertibe TRUTH name
ly that he has saved the American people from the
curse of WING measures and wing expectations. And
further, because, when surrounded and besieged by
cohorts of the give the legislative patrn.oy Of the
people, he noby rose 10 the lotiest altitude Of the
patriot ard, by the nterposition Of his constitutional
vetoes, he shook from him the promises and threats
which had long been excited by the yearnngs of that
rapacious stomach which ever dstends itself in vol
ume and capacity, in proportion as food is provided
by the dishonest stewards whom it is the misfortune
OF nations to appoint the supervisors Of the public
table.
ID We prefer John Tyler as our candidate, be-
cause we conceive, that through him the waves Of
federalism have been beaten back and that the
wing party endorses Henry Clay 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
formida bic adversary.
Resolved 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-
choly evidence that parties intent on bolster
ing up men of their own creation than they to
use just and beneficial discrimination in raying to
the support of such as, unaided by such powerful
machinery, yet uphold the rights of the people from
| high conviction of duty. II the proud conscious
ness of the patriot in having faithfully discharged
most sacred trust to his fellow-citzens is to meet
with no well timed-response from those he serves,
then are the people most shor;-sghted in sustaining
their own welfare. But this meeting will not allow
that the reemen of this country be negligent
of their happiness, for events illustrate that the
public men who have made sacrifices, have not
made them in uain, and that, consequence, we
cannot but believe that the American people will
yet gather in their strength and manfully sustain him
who shielded them from dreaded calamities in the
most gloomy phase Of our political history.
Resolred, That as democrats desire union, har-
mony, concession, all these things are essential
success, and that we therefore approve Of National
Convention, and that said Convention shall be COM
posed OF delegates chosen in each Congressional Dis
tric and whose votes shall be given per capita for the
| persons who shall be placed in nomination.
Rfsoired, That while we ardently and devoted
ly attached to the of John Tyler, and deter
mined to make every laudable exertion for his sue
cess, yet will we on no occasion wantonly assa any
of the other distinguished candidates. whose claims
| for the Presidency may be advocated by other por-
| tons of the Democracy; our motto shall be q fair
field and favor for all competitors, up TO the pc
riod of the Baltimore Convention, and then whoever
may be the successful candidate, will find 10 the
winds all prejudice or preference, and unitedy rally
| for the general cause.
| R.sois.d Tho, the thanks OF this meeting are due
10 those democrats who, unawed by the dctatorial
raylngs OF certain press, have accepted the highest
Offices of trust under our democratic President.
Some resolutions offered by Major Frazer were
read and adopted also several by Mr.. r. T.. New
man. who afterwards addressed the meeting with
great enthusiasm in a strain highly euogistc Of the
President he reviewed his many acts emitting him
TO the consideration Of the democratic party During
| MIR. Ms speech, he was repeatedly cheered.
John Commerford, ESQ., then addressed the meet
ing, and was enthusiastically appauded at the con-
| clusion OF his remarks.
