DEMOCRATIC CoMMITTEE-IRlsH AND YANKEE DEMO-

extraordinary, uncommon, peculiar, strange, ex-
citing and turbulent assemblages of the "Young
Democratic" tool place on Wednesday eve
ming, at the special meeting of the Young
Mems General Committee at Tammany Hall. The
meeting was called by the Chairman, Samuel J.
Tilden Esq, recently appointed Corporation Attor-
ney, at the request of Edmund s. Derry, Edward
Gallagher, L. B. Shepherd, Nathaniel Jarvis and
Mr.. Mccarthy, members of the committee, for
the purpose of making suitable arrangements TO re.
ceive President Tyler on his contemplated visit to
this city. At the hour of organization about forty.
FIVE members were present, being two and half
more than one half of the whole number of the
committee The minutes having been read
EDMUND S. DERRY, Esq, rose and asked leave to
state to the committee the objects for which the
meeting had been called, which was to tender to
the President, through a strictly democratic COM
miuee, the hospitatles of the city, and to evnce
the respect which the Democratic party entertain
ed for the Chief Magistrate of the country.

members were on the floor at once, with the cry of

man :" and down they all sat, except one whose
heightened frame and visage, like church steeple,
was visible at long distance, and thus caught the
eye of theanxous expectant with the chairman'sre-
Spouse,

The gentleman from the third here proceeded
with en- argument to show that the business for
which the special meeting was called, could not
take precedence of the usual business, and appealed
to the decision OF the chair to sustain him. This
was objected to by those friendly to the objects of
the call Of the meeting; but the chairman decided
that the regular business of the meeting should take
precedence.
An appeal was taken from his decision amid con.
siderable excitement, which finally resulted in
vote sustaining his position by small majority.
II was here found that sey eral new members had
been introduced into the meeting in place Of resig
friends Of Mr.. Tyler, that the committee had been
packed to prevent any expression of opinion in his
favor: This opinion was soon confirmed by the
fact that
JOHN MCMAHON, Collector of the Sixth ward
rose and submitted resolutions, that Martin Van
Buren, ought to be the democratic candidate for the
next presidency, but that the committee would cor
daily support the nominee of the National Conven-
should be fixed by the general concurrence of the
democracy. OF the several States that The mode of
eectlng delegates from this State ought be refer
red to convention of the democracy Of the whole
State; that the National Convention should deter
mine for itself the mode of voting upon the presi.
Dental question: whether by States or by individuals,
and that whether it should be held in November,
ls43, or May, 1874, it would be the duty OF every
democrat TO abide by its decision.
The bone Of contention having thus been thrown
among the bull dogs. subterraneans and workers of

members, some with desire to save and others to
destroy its objects, and finally, after some manou-
Weing,
EDMUND S. DERRY Esq. offered an amendmen mt TO
the effect that the committee or those they repre-
sened, were not bound 10 any particular man, or
forced 10 carry out the views OF any actious body
would leaders, but declaring the opinion that the
question as to the candidate for the Presidency
should be one sacredly regarded by those claiming
to be the representatives OF the party and left to
the judgment and discrimination of the people
themselves. That inasmuch as Mr.. Van Buren,
had declared his ambition TO have been satisfied.
that the necessity for eelevang him to the Presi-
dency did not exist, and that the destines of the
country would be equally as safe in other hands
Now commenced scene OF great confusion, and
contest between the Van Buren, men, who were
the strongest in numbers, and the Calhoun and Ty-
Ter men, who were the best tacticians:
VoiCE-I move to adjourn-put, and lost.
VoICE-I move TO 60 into committee of the whole.

desired by the last mover.
Mr.. MoCARTY then offered set Of resolutions as
sorting that the committee had already by the reso
lutions passed at previous meeting, condemnatory
OF the Legislative proceedings at Albany, pledged
themselves implicitly to assert the rights of the peo
pie in reference to the Presidential question, which
1t wouldbe weak and i'll advised now 10 depart from.

DICK FRENcH-Tak arguments; let nothing else
come out of your mouth.
DERRY-He'll talk that without putting rum down
his throat,
Here French, who is keeper of the fashionable
hotel in Chatham, near Pearl street, rose from his
seat and approached Derry with his right arm elon-
gated, and two fore fingers curled and equi-disant
sufficient to admit ordinary sized man s proboscis,
and broke forth with
