TYLER MEETING.

A meeting Of Democratic citizens Of the city and
county Of Philadelphia, was held at the District
Courtroom Saturday evening with view to con-
slider the best mode Of mbodying and expressing
the sentiments Of The Democrats Of this district who
approve of the general policy of the Administration
of President Tyler, and of fairly presenting his
claims TO the consideration Of the party throughout
the Union. Although convened without public no.
ice, and only we learn, by means Of few circu-
lar notices, the meeting rsspec able, both in the
number and the character of the citizens who attend
ed. The views Of the meeting are clearly set forth
in the resolutions, hich will be found another CO.
iumn of this mornings Sentinel. They are such as
will meet the appreciation of every Democrat, with
out regard 10 the personal preference he may have
for any of the gentlemen named for the Presidency
and evince the determination Of the friends of Mr..
Tyler TO carry out, in the coming contest, those
sound Democratic principles which have character
lied the present National Administration, and which
have brought down upon the President the bitterest
anathemas Of the enemies OF Democracy

The readers Of the Globe must have marked

Ii has been stated in the Easton Argus that the
Trenton Emporium purchared by Captain Srocx
TON and the Secretary Of War, JAMES M. PORTER,
who il was said, had met at Trenton for that purpose
Capt STocKTos publicly pronounces these assertions,
far they relate to him personally, 10 be untrue
in every particular. He declares that he has not
purchased the Emporium-that he has not now, and
never had any interest in it, direct or indirect and is
totally ignorant of the terms of sale or Transfer

Col PoRrER at Trenton or elsewhere, or had any
communication with him for twelve month at least.
The character Of CAPITA Stockton is sufficient
anee for the truth Of his declaration which thus
nails another Islander TO the counter.
