TYLER NETTING IN NEW YORK.

The othce-holders in New York have
been drumming for Tyler meeting for
some weeks past. The ifumpets were
blown in the most approved style, and The
whole Guard were specially invited
/ Profii,t, il seems, did not attend. Verbal
report says that The Clay men were she
| most numerous portion Of the meeting-
the Democrats next--and that the Office.
holders were out numbered By each in
their own meeting
The New York American or the ls,b
inst. says:
1.-THE Tyler Meeting last evening al tho
Tabernacle was chaos worse conlounded.
That immense building was thronged to
the utmost with men Of all parties: and
the proceedings seem TO have been as in.
ane, ridiculous and disjointed as the par
ty, which proiessed to adopt them.
Amos Palmer was named for the Chair,
bv NJ. NJ. Noah, and list of Vices and
Secretaries.
Mr.. Sanford, exjudge, Richard Admins
Locke. James Kelly, Caleb Gushing, and
Col. Zabriskie, attempted TO speak, of
whom only Mr.. Gushing and Zabriskie
were listened to at all. Mike Walsh was
called for bu, he told the meeting plainly
he would no. address any such assembly,
and in an under Tone that he'd be Id
if he'd speak after Zabriskie.
Cries from the friends Of Tyler, ofClay,
of Van Buren,, and Of Calhoun, were con.
stantly heard-lhere was much wrang-
ling, some little promiscuous 6ghnng,
great cry aud li,,lc wool.
Resolutions were seemed to be read md
were declared adopted, which is just as
well as il they had been.
The meeting, then tired OF the fun, for
after oil, it was, we hear, rather lrolic
than fray, broke up, aud now the wors,
part Of il is to come Tor MIR. Tyler, the
clamor for immediate reward Of those who
got it up"
The Tribune of Thursday the 10th in
slant says:
1.-The Tyler Meeting a, the Taberna.
Gle last evening was rather funny affair.
considering that i, was held in the Church.
A Mr.. Amos Palmer, a Locofoco now frs,
made famous, was called to the Chair,
with goodly string of Office seekers
brothers and Custom house expeciants fer
Vice Prcsidepss and Secretaries. Messrs.
Edward SANFORD and James H. Raymond
read the Address aud h solutions. When
we looked in i:ttle pnst 8, we judged
that there were 1000 Wings, as many
Locofocos, and several nominal Tyler
men present--perhaps 800. Hon. Caleb
Gushing was on his legs. lie spoke well,
but not with much apparent effect. Tho
Wings hurrahed for Clay, and tho Locos
for Van Buren,, which was all wrong, no
such performance being specified in tho
bill of the evening. But Mr.. Gushing RAJ
Their provoked them TO II. 10 insisting
tina, neither Wings nor Locoiocos had any
ground of principle to stand upon, in con.
demning Tylersm, he Committed n very
common but grave mistake--just as man
who has taken too much toddy, fancies the
world is whirling round twice a minute,
and not his own poor noodle. Col. Zs-
briskie, Of New Jersey, afterwards en-
| lightened the audience with speech. We
know nothing Of what it was about, re-
marking only that he neglected TO desig-
nate the precise Office for which he was
working-though every one Understood
his general aim. He made very happy
nllusion to the FARMER OF ASHLAND"
which called down the whole house in
roar Of applause: il was received with
dealeniDg cheers--hear,y and long con.
| tnued. The audience apparently thought
il would not DO easy for the Colonel to
make better ht--so they persuaded him
to wind OFF his Grafton. The Resolutions
were at once put and declared carried,
and the meeting in great haste was pro-
nounced adjourned"
