not wash this sin from your soul. But the
People, the PEorLE, understand HIM and are
his friends. We are for the rights of The Peo-
pie against the usurpations OF The politicians
THE MASS CONVENTION IN NEW YORK
NOMINATION OF JOHN TYLER BY THE
PEOPLE FOR THE PRESIDENCY in 1874
Let the patriots heart rejoice The Repub-
Lean spirit Of the land has arisen from It's slum-
bers The issue which has been made between
the People and the Politicians has been tried,
and the People have prevailed. When the Pre-
sideni assumed his bold, heroic, and indepen-
dent position, in defence Of the Constitution,
the rights Of he People, and the principles I'M
corrupted by partisan Interpretation, OF nest
old fashioned JeffersoniaD Republlcanlsm, he
expected the abuse and The caumny OF the lnte-
rested politicians And when, subsequently, To
that period, he refused all combinations with
political aspiran,s Of either party, 10 usurp and
TO fix powers, which, of right, belong TO the
People, in his own or their persons, he expected
that party machinery would concentrate all lis
force and venom in opposition to his measures
and the success of his Administration. He has
not acted unadvsedly. He knew there was in
telIigence and virtue among the People, and he
hoped they would not permit one, whose
history as Chief Magistrate is but an exhibition
of services in the popular cause, 10 be persecu-
ted, uampled on, and destroyed. He has de-
clared over and over again his determination to
win for The People or TO perish with the People
His only fear was that the People would not APP
preciate the true position Of public atlars-that
from the few presses which supported him,
and the combined efforts OF his and their enc
mics, men, who of right are hut the servants Of
the People but who fain would be their mas
tiers, by course of Misrepresentation, and by
hypocrilcal devices, might, in their utter I'M
consciousness of the danger OF such things
happening at this early day Ct the Republic, de-
lude and cheat them TO their purposes. But the
People, the noble, The generous, the intelligent
the igilant People, hisgreat constituency
the working-men Of the land, the hardy laborer,
the chanic, the farmer-have heard the voice
which has asserted their rights, and arising in
their majesty, have marched with an unfnch-
ing front, shield locked within shield, and the
flag of the stars and stripes flying above their
heads, to the attack and TO victory. No fear
now-re proclaim that The Republic is safe
The immortal spirits OF Jefferson and Madison,
and Monroe may rejoice.
In this great meeting in New York there is
no evidence Of Legislative or Congressional
caucus, there is nothing seen Of The aristocracy
r. 4
and fifteen hundred or two thousand Republican
Wings, burying their past differences in re-
spect 10 men, for they have never differed in
respect TO measures, have taken their seats to-
gether on the Democratic platform. Old and
stern Republican,, whose heads have grown
grey in the cause OF Democracy and equal
rights, sat down together, and have spoken
their sentiments u their fellow citizens not only
Of their great Stale, but Of the Union The
meeting embraced fourth of the voters in
the city Of New \ ork. The lowest estimate
numbers six thousand, the highest nine or ten.
Let the ball be kept in motion. FelIow-ci,i-
zens, People Of the Republic, to arms, to the
rescue.
The New York Sun, Ga neutral paper) with
the largest circulation of any newspaper in the
Union, says, THAT tie Tyler meeting held at
the Tabernacle, on Wednesday evening, was
the largest indoor meeting ever held in that
city,"
The Journal OF Commerce, the great com
merclsl paper of the city, but also neutral, gives
IN substance similar account with the Sun.
The Evening Post, and Courier and Enquirer
both admit the meeting TO have been lremen-
dous and as orderly as could be expected under
the circumstances-blt declare that a minority
were Tyler men. Why, then, did the resolu-
tons and address pass almost unanimously
Why was not the meeting broken up when at
tempts were made TO break up7
We quote the remarks Of the Standard en-
tire. They are true, straight fora ard, and to
the purpose:
THE MEETING AT THE TABERNACLE
Al the hour appointed for the meeting we were in
ihe fesupuie oil the Tabernacle proceeding towards
the grand amphitheare Of the evening but were soon
induced by decent respect for our ,mderstanding To
make way for rush Of several hundred men and
boys, who crowded the vestibue on fast trot which
soon became gallop, from the mass within. who
were alarmed, or PRETENDED TO be BY the fear Tho,
The galleries would fall. Many were tramplvd upon
and we saw one venerable gentlemen rolling towards
the curb-stone Of Broadway. Satisfied with one at
tempt TO penetrate the dense body gathered beneath
the galleries, we retired for half an hour at the end
OF which time we made our TO the south aisle of
the building where again the cry was loud and mora
frequent" the gallery is falling ~
There was another rush for the doors but we stood
our ground TO wttess the attempts Of some patriots
who were busy in blowing out the gas lghts-tb,v
~ouid,a stay bicwed-and OF other equally meritori
Gus citizens engaged IN twisting off the gas fixtures
from the ceilings. The crowd in front Of US was so
dense that we could neither hear nor see what was
going on beyond the edge Of the gallery and we made
second exit Meeting our way towsud, our of.
