mass meetings here. That of the Polkites was
both numerous and enthusiastic, and from the

city and county OF Baltimore Is concerned The
Tyler men seem at last to understand their true
position, having selected the old Mud Theatre
(now dignified with the name of Odeon,) for then
place Of meeting, and if the former managers could
have produced succession of farces equal to that
got up on this occasion by the Tyler men and ad
luncts, their success would have been overwhelm-
ing. 1t was one of the most amusing scenes to a
mere "looker on in Vienna" ever witnessed.

the independent Tompkins Blues were received
from the steamboat, and marched to the house OF
Captain Tompkns, of the Richmond COUNTY

had very ample and bountiu table set for then F,
at whose house they were greeted by the other Off
