Il Tyler Meeting-Humorous Description thereof.
Thinking that an account of the Tyler meeting,
held last evening at Vauxhal Gardens in this city,
might not prove uninteresting to you, have taken
the liberty of sending you short detail of the pro.
ceedings thereof Actuated by curiosity, and hav-
ing nothing else to do, bent my steps towards the
place designated by the Tyler organ, as the scene
where this grand and perfect anomaly-a Tyler
meeting-was to ''come off" In consequence otthe
lateness of the hour at which started, and irem
the immense previous exertions made by those in
teresed, had utterly despalred OF gaming admit
lance, much less a seat, lmpelled, however, by
CURIOSITY which you well know will induce a man
to attempt seeming lmpossibilitles, | trudged on,
and arrived about half past o'clock at the appoint
ed spot. =,
Imagine, if you can, my surprise and astonlsh-
ment at beholding concourse OF some halt dozen
persons, of all sorts and sizes, with the most intense
anxiety strongly depicted on their expectant and I'M
shaven vissges. In vain they whispered, and In
vain they waited-'twas waking "splrits from the
vastly deep" BY dint, however, of running and
sending about in every direction, about O'Clock
they had hauled in an audience OF some forty or
fifty persons There were "black spirits and white,
blue spirits and grey.
"Beasts tame and savage to the rivers briak
Came from the fields and Wild abodes-to drink"
There was a perfect condemnation of all sorts,
sizes and conditions OF men-irOm the tat and pursy
holder, down to the lean, half-staryed and
cadaverous looking ofice-seeker, to say nothing OF
the bar-room lOafers, who were there III force.
Here a mixture OF men, who, bat lew short
months since, were politically at daggers' points,
and apparently opposite as the Antlpodes nut
now actuated by that all-engrOsslng tie, the COM
munty of interests. they wheel round rush to each
others arms, and hug one another in long and
fraternal embrace. Amongst those present we no.
ticed Sam. Mcclellan, (Navy ,agenD Langley 3.
port) Major Dulaney, "a United States ofhcer) and
some others, all :" mri apparent nantes, IN gWgte
udsto"
About nine o'clock, the meeting was called to
order by Mr.. Culey, on whose motion, W. T.
Rice, (now making the blocks for the brig ud
ing) was appointed Gharman Robert tirlffith, Gan
for any office that Mr.. Tyler will give him, but
Gently made conductor on the Baltimore ans. Ohio
Railroad, and formerly democrat OF the " subter
ranean orderly were designated secretaries.
| Thus was this important meeting organized and
think that under their guidance the reelection of
Mr.. Tyler is reduced to a moral certainty, tor
"Of such spirits are they who his protection claim,
| Most watchiul sprites -"
Well. after the officers had duly enscor,ced them
selves in their seats, the secretaries nibbed their
goose qullls and assumed that dignifed attitude be-
| fitting their high and exalted station, committee
was, on motion, appointed to draft a series OF
lulions, explanatory of the opinions Of the meeting
whereupon The chair appointed L. b. Culley. Coon
tracior) ]. E. Tilden, Gan applicant for Office, and
srenuoqsly opposed to paying foreign and dom este
Kirk and Slade, to constitute said committee: The
committee retired, and after an absence of a few
minutes, returned with long preamble and series
| the substance OF which was, string of dsnrncla-
tons against Clay-opposton to protective tariff
condemnlng the policy OF paying debts to foreign
bond holders, and sanctiening and applaudlng the
veto, and all other acts of Mr. Tyler, past, present
| and, of course, to Gomez and pledgng themselves
| to support him if nominated by democratic con-
| ventOn.
Here are somersets for you, friend Bennett, of
! every possible descrIptiOn-whgs, democrats,
servatves, all impelled by sole rule of action,
| throwing themselves into MIR: Tyler's arms. The
question the above resolutions being taken, the
nays most decidedly had the majority; but they, of
course were not ,eard, and they were declared to
be unanimously carried After which a motion was
made to adjourn sine die. This was unanimously
carried, and the meeting adjourned
Yhus, you perceive, friend Bennett, striking
illustration ofthat spirit characteristic of reemen;
that matter how opposite their opinions may have
been, yet when the good of their country ls con-
cerned, unite and support any doctrine that will
tend to its advanagefor the interest of the country
is of course identified with theirs. Maxwell.
