for the first time.
The meeting at the Tabernacle last night was un'
questionably the most extraordinary assemblage
which has taken place in this or any other city
Its molly Characteristic rows-the collision OF ad-
verse factons-the speeches and the yells-the ora
tors on the rosrum, and the orators in the body OF
the house-the smashing of benches and chande-
iiers-the fun, dry jokes, broken heads bloody no
ses-a made up scene which, to use the orthodox
expression, can be better imagined than described
How much influence the comet may have exercis-
ed on the meeting, we leave to Father Miller to de-
termine. But assuredy, dslnterested philoshphi-
cal spectator could hardly avoid thinking that the
assemblage owned the influence of the planet, who
il is credibly affirmed,
{" DER moist and crazy brains,
In high spring tides at midnight reigns "
Long before the hour of meeting, the inside of the
Tabernacle was filled to overlooking, and the ave-
nue. leading to it from the street, completely block
ed up with the crowd who had assembled to witness
the curious proceedings destined to elect John
lery was decorated with the banners bearing the
names of the States of the Union, borne in the " IN
dignant Procession On the columns at each side
of the platform were suspended portraits of Wash

portrait of John Tyler, and the banner of the 9th
ward, used in the Indignant procession" with the
motto "The people are sOvereign-they will gov

served Major Joe Hopkins, Major Mordecia Manas-
sab Noah, DR.. Bowron, Silas Chickering James Kel-
ly, Mike Walsh, Ex-Alderman Towle, Col. Crow,
Dick Smith, Col. Zabriske, Ex-Judge Sanford and
numerous Spartans, Unonists and Huge Paws.
Richard Adams Locke and strong guard Of the
House occupied the seats in the rear of the
platform. At the end of the room, squated down be-
tween two greasy soap boilers,w spied Col. Webb,
without mahogany pistol or lock; but shouldering
his crutches, and evidently enjoying with great
govt the amusing scene.
At seven and half precisely up popped Major
Mordecai Manassah Noah, ex-Judge of Israel, and
King ofGrand Island, ex-Judge of the Sessions and
applicant for any office in the gift OF the President
who nominated Amos PALMER for President of the
meeting. The question was put, and Major Noah
declared it carried, amid cries of "aye, ave." "no,
""bah, ba, ""who the devil is he?" "Amos Pal
mer," and shouts, Kisses and clapping of hands.
We understand that MIR. Amos Palmer was wait
ed upon yesterday by committee, whe doubted the
propriety of his nomination for G irman, when he
informed them that he was originally Jefersonian
Democrat that on the rejection of Van Buren, by
the Senate, as Minister to Great Britain, and his
return to this country, he was active in getting up
the public dinner that opened the campaign to his
election to the presidency that in 1910, thinking
that the country needed "a change" he went for
"Tippecanoe and Tyler too" and has ever since
been Tyler man. So much for Mr.. Amos Palmer
and his politics
George B. Strong then jumped up and nominated
some two bakers dozen of vice presidents, among
whom were Hold over Shaler, Job Haskell, John
Orser, &c. Here arose loud cry from the Hber-
man conservatives, Of "Kelly, Kelly, put Mr. Jem
Kelly, honest Jem Kelly, he's one of 'em, inter-
spersed with cheers, cocka-doode-do and Kisses;
and amid the excitement Mr.. Strong stated that Mr..
Keys name had been added to the list of vice.
presidents.
Then up rose D. P. Barnard, with list of secre-
taries as long as his arm, which being read and ap-
proved, down he sat, amid cries OF "KelIy, Kelly"
"Hepkins, Hopkins"
Mr.. Stewart read the call of the meeting,
which was continually interrupted by cries OF "Kel-
ly, Kelly"
The next head up was that of Ex-Judge
Edward Sanford, who commenced reading an ad-
dress to the people of the United States, nominating
John Tyler for reelection IN 1874. During the read
ing of the prosy address, that occupied half an hour
there was continued excitement and confusion
Cries of "Key, Kelly" then cheers and Misses
''put out the goose" "down with the traitor
"cheers for John Tyler" "Kelly shall be heard"
emo, no." eyes, yes" ''bah be bum," 'quack,

white muslin banner, bearing the words,
"l3th Ward Democracy" was here brought into
the centre of the room from the street, when some
humorist cried out, "Three cheers for Henry
Clay" which were given with great enthusiasm
Then followed three cheers for Tyler" strong and

Mike Walsh" to which the Spartans added "one
more" Daring all this noise. excitement and con-
fusion, exJudge SANFORD was reading his address,
not three words OF which were heard by any one of
the audience.
A moments silence, and the head of J. II. Ray
mond was seen amid the crowd on the rostrum,
with series of resolutions in his hand which he
read, amid the cries of &C. three cheers for Tyler"
" three groans for Great Britain" nterspersed with
wild cat noises. hootngs and hissings. Then fol-

the front of the gallery, breaking and carrying with
