Mass Tyler Meeting in New York.fun.

The Tyler Meeting al the / ahernacle last
evening was rather funny affair, considering
that it was held in a Church. A Mr. Amos
Palmer. Loco Fnco now first made famous,
was called to the Chair, with goody string oi
offce-seekers' brohers and Custom House ex-
pec;an,s for Vice Presidents and Secretaries.
Messrs. Edward Sandford and James H. Ray
mond readlhe Address and Resolutions. When
we looked in Iirle past S, we judged that there
were 900 Wings, as many Loco Focos, and
several nominal Tyler men present-perhaps
200 Hon. Caleb Cushing was on his legs.
He spoke well, but not with much apparent et-
iect. The Wings hurrahed for Clay and the
Locos for Van Buren,, which was all wrong, no
such performance being specified IN the bills of
the evening. But Mr. {. rather provoked them
10 it. In insisting iha, neither Wings nor Loco
Focos had any ground Of principle 10 stand upon
in condemning Tylersm, he committed very
common but grave mstake-just as man who
has taken too much toddy fancies the world is
wbirlinp round twice minute, and not his own
moor poddIe. Col ZabriSkie, Of New jersey
afterwards enlightened the audience with a
speech. We know nothingoG whaI il was about
remaking only that he neglected TO designate
the precise office for which he was working
though every one understood his general aim.
He made-a very happy allusion TO the Farmer
of Ashland" which called down the whole
house in a roar of applause il was received
with deafening cheers-heary and long con-
,inued. The audience apparently thought it
would not be easy for the Colonel TO make
hetIer hit-so they persuaded him 10 wind off
his oraiion The resolutions were at once put
and declared carried, and the meeting in great
Il
The doors were opened al o'clock, and an
immense lhrong rushed into The church A
band of music entertained The audience, or tried
80, unlil the time of organizing the meeting.
Foriy four Vice Presidents, and ten Secre-
taries were appointed.
Edward Sanford attempted to read an address
TO The people of the United States.
"Feow citizens" said he, " if you will give
your patient attention, will present TO your
minds such an address As
('Fhe remainder of This sentence was lost in a
burst Of applause, mingled with Kisses, shouts,
groans, calcais, cries Of "KelIy-kelly Is he
here!" "Where is he Z" In the midst of the
'squalI" Major Hopkins advanced TO the front
and said, Gentlemen, Mr.. Kelly will be here
by the lime the address is read" The noise
sullcontinued, and Mr. Sandford appeared to be
saying something 10 the audience: but whether
it was part Of his speech or portion of The ad-
dress il was impossible for US TO say)
During this scene loud cheers were moved
and given, respectively, for Jackson, Clay,
Gushing, Tyler, Wise, &c. &c. Order being
again restored Mr.. Sandford was permitted 10
read the address, and was followed by JAS H. /
Raymond, with series of resolutions
The resolutions recommend Democratic
National Convention in May, ls44, of delegates
chosen in the Congressional districts, whose
votes shall be cast individually; and they also
nominate John Tyler for reelection subject to
the decision of convention organised in the /
manner, and held at the time designated
After the resolutions, Mr. Raymond and Mr.. |
Kelly tried 10 speak, bul The Babel would not
hold lis thousand tongues. Mr.. Caleb Gushing
was therefore brought forward 10 see what he
could do; and the audience did become little
less noisy. They look great liberties with his
speech however; and made many very saucy
and imperineni, or rather 100 pertinent COM
nenls We quote part of Mr.. C.'s speech
turn 10 you democrats, and | ask of you
V hat cause of quarrel have you! "a Voice
- The SUD- Treasury" Another Voice" John
Tyler carries Oui the principles of the immortal
jackson" Laughter and great confusion.) Gen.
llemen, what is the real secret of this contro-
rersy. Voice." The spoils" Another
Two dollars day, and roast beef" Laughter
and confusion.] once more appeal to your
own heads and consciences, and ask you if the
true secret OF ii all is not the Clay-Benon eoali-
lion against the administration Cheers, hisses
and confusion---a cry of 'lhree cheers for
Clay which was obeyed with most enthusiastic
effect, apparently BY great number of the au-
dience is not that the secret of it? Gentle
men, we have been told - Another bench was
here broken down in The gallery, and scene of
rreai confusion ensued.] There is really no
sssignabe cause of quarrel [Cry of " Cut it
,hou"-"You told us that before" aud great
confusion
Mr.. Gushing soon "cut it short !" twenty
orators jumped up 10 take his place /; and one
musical genius began 10 sing
Old mother Bungo,
Is come home"
which was received like Col Zabriskie's speech
