Afier the cheering which accompanied the annun.
citation of Mr.. Robert Tyler's name had somewhat
subsidized, he rose, and in substance said:
In accepting your invitation TO address you this
evening, fellow citizens, have only consulted my
warmest feelings. Ii gives me sincere pleasure To
meet the Democracy of this city at this suspicious
moment. Well may the Democrats, not only IN
New York but throughou the Union, rally, as
they have here done tonight, in numbers and with
deep enthusiasm. For the old republican party,
which sustained Jefferson, and which elected Jackson
10 the Presidency, again united and reestsblished
The day Of doubt, danger, and uncertainty has now
passed the veil OF anxiety has been Withdrawn from
the future and the Democratic legions, Inspired
with hope and confidence, full of discipline, and
firm, are seen once again with drums beating and
coors flying, marching to field OF victory.
Within the last year, fellow. citizens for the first
time since the days OF the Alien and s. ditlon Laws
Federalism, recovering from its wonied condition Of
sullen and unbroken despair, while deriving hope
from the confusion that has unhappiy existed IN toe
republican ranks, has put on the black cocksdo, and
walked boldly and unDushngly through our States
IL has until late, talked confidently and even swag
geriDgIy of success. But those magic words, "the
reunion of the Republican party" have been a po-
tent spell TO raise up before their terrified vision
more spectres of horror than surrounded crook back

while stalking slowly behind the gloomy ghosts OF
Federal measures and Federal men, coniure up hor-
rble ideas of their former disappointment and de-
feat and OF their coming despair. The lest now
falls eeby from the lip trembling with ill.conccsled
terror. The pocketbook, that easy argument of the
fancy politicians Of the federal party heretofore
ready IN every mans hand for bet on CLAW and the
great regulator, and lined by anticipation with notes
OF the back has somehow or other all at once mys
