FIRST Igler Meting in Albany.


First Iyier Melting in Albany.
Pursuant to a call of some twenty individuals, IN
two OF the papers OF the city, meeting convened at
the City Hall last evening at O'Clock Dr. Stats,
the late ocofoco mayor, placed himself in the CEN
tire oil tie room, took off his polished beaver, gave
three distinct raps with his cane, and said" Gen.
tlemen, suppose you are all aware that the object
of this meeting is TO make suitable preparations for
inviting President Tyler visit our city ON his route
from Boston For the purpose Of organization,
nominate for chairman OF this meeting, George w
Stanton. Those in favor Of that motion will say ave.
opposed no." Carried unanimously. "Mr STAN
ton will. please take the chair" James TAYLOR.
cashier of the Commercial Bank, and John v. L.
Pruya, attorney to the City Bank, were appointed
Col McKown then stepped up in front of the chair
man, and spoke as follows-"Mr Chairman, this
meeting was called, and we are assembled TO make
suitable arrangements for the reception of the Pre-
sident of the United States, who is expected to
honor our city with visit in the course OF a few
days. We have not met as partizans, to render
honor favorite party man. Ii that were the case,
for one, should not be present on this OCCASION
But, sir, we DESTROYS of receiving into our an
clent cyt the highest executive officer OF the Union,
with that proper respect which he sentlted TO. And
il for our own honor for the honor OF our city, tor
the honor of the institutions Of our country, that we
give to the President and his suite, reception wor
thy Of the exalted stations which they occupy. COL
McKown then offered resolution appointing COM
mittee to report resolutions. Messrs McKown. Rad
lift and o. L. Hoey, editor Of the Daily Adverti-
ser, were appointed; but the latter gentleman not be-
ing present, the remainder of the committee per-
formed the duty without him.
The names of the several committees were not
reported, but left with the Chairman to fill up at
his leisure. Great anxiety was manifested by the
spectators present to ascertain who would consent
to serve " Let us have the committees now
ool Txla afa nnxr .vxya
want to know them" " Give us speech-let us
have speech from one of the Guard y where's
WATSON, Maber or Gallup?" Oh! here's Billy
Seymour, he's always on handsome. Billy, mount
the stairs, and give us Tyler demonstration. But
speech could be brought OUT and, after resolving
epublish the doings of the meeting, 1t adjourned,
never to meet again.
There were about seventy-hve or eighty persons
present and the only gentlemen who figured at all,
were George w. Stanton, James M: Kown, Doctor
Stats, David Rad!if, and Billy Seymour. Not a
wing participated in any OF the proceedings, al
though nearly two-thirds of the meeting COM
posed of members of that party. Their demeanor
and conduct was very respectful, as they looked
and acted like men attracted to place where they
did not belong, but came as curious spectators, to
witness the transactions OF the managers.
A letter of invitation was sent to the President,
by the railroad to Boston, to meet him there before
be departs from that city and so In the course OF
a day or two Mr.. Spencer will inform US whether
the cortege will visit u.s.
The expenses of this affair must be borne by pri-
vate subscription as the Corporation have declined
taking any part in the matter. Well, who'll con-
tribute ? Some two or three thousand dollars will
be necessary TO carry he affair with any degree
ofdecency responsibility. Neither the military,
the fremen, societies will make any exerions at
display, especially when such unpopular men as
Stanton, Seymour and Radlifi take the lead. And
if the funds are not advanced with a liberal hand,
l doubt very much whether the foot professions
will exhibit themselves, and pay their own expense
OF music, cannon, collations, &c. &c
REPEAL MEErING.-A call has just been made for
holding Repeal meeting in this city tonight, in
imitation of New York; and as we have great
number of influential lrshmen here, laundering
full meeting will be collected We are not at loss
for orators on such occasions and, therefore, Old
England may expect to get devil of a rap by the
Irishmen of Albany. Yours, &c.
