hour, and the immense building, (Which is capable
OF containing from three to Jour Thousand persons)

seat, both in the body of the house aad the plat
form, was occupied, and hundreds stood IN the
aises at the doors, and clustered In dense masses

| Mr.. Tyler sat down amidst the most rapturous
He was followed by Mr. Lee, of Maryland, who,
though suffering from indisposition, made most
animated and able speech, full of Illustrative anec-
dotes and historical illusions. He was frequently
interrupted by applause, and cheered heartily at the
conclusion. At this point OF the proceedings, Mr.
Tyler found it necessary retire, which he did,
companied by his friends and the President of the
Society, Mr.. James. As he passed down the central
aisle three cheers were given for Robert Tyler three
cheers for the President-three for JOHN Tyler, Jr
and then three for the whole Tyler family, and the
cheering continued till the whole party left the
house Those outside then cheered heartily as they
| passed along through the streets. The meeting was
also addressed by John Dillon Smith, Esqr, of New
York; Mr. o. Reilly of Augusta, Maine Mr.
Walsh of the Pilot, and others, in the midst OF en-
| thusIastic cheering.
| The sum raised at the meeting was about $3.50.
We perceive from the official and respectable or
gan Of the President this city, that he is prepared
to go as far as Robert. Here is the announce ment:
| President TYLER AND RErEAL-The President while
in Philadelphia waited by committee Of the Irish
Repeal Association and invited to attend meeting OF
that BODY. His engagements prevented him from accept
ing the invitation The Philadelphia Ledger reports him
as using the following language to the committee 60
the decided friend Of the repeal Of the legislative
union between Great Britain and Ireland ardently and
snxously hope that may take place, and have the ut
confidence that Ireland will have her Parlia
ment in her capital, in very short tme On this
| great question, am no halfway man."
All this presents certainly very extraordinary
state of things in relation to this exciting question
