take the liberty, after an absence from this city
Of some four months, OF again addressing you upon
matters and things in general, as learn since my
return have TRANSFERRED and such as will, in all
probability, take place, il time continues for
month or two 10 come Clay's birth day has been
celebrated by the wings, at Irving Hall, lin song
singing, hard cider, and coon-s in like manner TO
the great annoyance OF the locoiocos, who believ-
ed II TO be great ado about a small affair. Some
few OF the wing ladies' honoured the company with
their presence at the Hall, cheered the speakers,
sung songs, and drank toasts in honor of the
mill boy OF the slashas,' TO the very great gratlii-
cation of all the young wings and particularly to
the eX-member Of the Assembly, who is now more
than firm in the belief that all the legerdeman
OF the great magician of Lndenwald. or the sue
cess!u! management OF Capt. Bob Tyler, the little
magician, in bestowing all the offices OF profit,
trust and honor, upon such men as will never give
their support his lllusrous sire Tor the next Pres
ldency, cannot, IN any way, prevent the election
of Henry Clay, at the next Presidential election.
Some years since, Mr.. Grieg, Of Canandaigua,
made donation to the Orphan Asylum of this city,
OF large sized lot, situated on the high and airy
grounds in the south par, of the city. Within the
past year, the ladies' who compose and are the
managers and directors Of this lnsttutlon, by the
aid and assistance OF many kind and benevolent
persons, have erected for the accommodation of
some thirty or forty little orphans, under their
care and management, large and commodious
brick edifce, on the lot presented by Mr.. Greig
The great expense necessary TO the erection Of such
building, and to the fitting up the grounds IN Il
suitable and becoming manner, exhausted all the n
funds, to replcnsh which, the ladies Of the inst-
tuition ingeniousy got up, at Irving Hall, magni-
fcent and SUMPTION. tea party-tickets fifty cents.
This plan took we'll Tor every body felt friendly to-.
wards this worthy and benevolent institution ;
so that now, the ladies' are in funds again, and the
little orphans well supplied with all the comforts
and necessaries of life.
Two or three meetings have recently been held
at the Court House, for the purpose of giving an
expression IN relation to the proprlety or impro-
pretty OF annealng Texas to the United States.
Nothing very definite has been the result as yet
The abolluoniss, to man, have taken the field
against anne xation, attended all the meetings and
have nearly succeeded, thus far IN preventing the
are decidedly opposed to annexation; but the loco
iocos were III favour OF the largest liberty, and the
greatest extent of territory, before Mr. Van Buren,
expressed his views upon the subject since then,
they begin TO back water.
You will perceive by Il recent enactment Of the
Legislature, that our city charter has been ma
terlally altered. The amended charter divides our
city into nine, instead of five wards, and increases
that, hereafter, we shall have police nearly equ
to that OF your city, with high constable at its
head
The Tyler ofice-holders in this ci,y subscribed
for a locofoco, and firm and decided friend OF
Mr.. Van Buren,, twenty five dollars, and his ex-
penses, TO attend delegate, the State Conven.
| ton recently held in your city. This same loco
| TOGO delegate was appointed by the convention,
delegate to represent Monroe county, in the Tyler
National Convention at Baltimore, to nominate
John Tyler as candidate for the next Presidency
What consistency This Tyler name uvreing ant
| management, that has been carried on in this city
by the othceholders tor some time past to deceive
the President, If certainly and decidedly great
humbug and game OF deception as ever was prac.
tlsed by any set Of men, Of the same capacity
| since the days OF Adam. ! understand, from un
doubted authority, that there have been frequent
reports Of the proceedings Of large and enthusiastic
| Tyler meetings, made at Washington, purportins
20 have been held in this city; when, in point o
| fact, no such meetings were ever held. think
| holding Office under John Tyler, and practisin,
| upon him almost daily the must artiul deception
and false representations, will under any circum
stances give their support TO him If he should be
candidate for the Presidency. 1t is conceded
universally, by all parties here, that Capt. Tyler
| made most lame and miserable selection from
among his friends, Tor the appointment of the col
| lector of the port OF Genesee. There could moi
have been selected man more obnoxious to every
body.
In the early part of this month we are to have
| held in this city school convention, consisting OF
the different county superlnte ndents, State super
inendent, and others friendly to the cause Of com
mon schools in this State. 1t is expected thai
Samuel Young, the State superintendent. and also
| several gentlemen OF distinction from other States
| will favor the convention with learned speeche,
| upon the subject of common school education.
Some time in June next there is to be held in this
| city n State Abolition Convention. One Of the
great objects, understand, Of this convention is
TO remove the remains OF the late Myron 1oll,
| from Lockport to Mount Hope Cemetery, in thu
city, and erect a monument, with an appropriat,
inscription, TO his memory. This is as it should be
for Mr.. Holly was of the first in Western New
York who came out boldly and took DIN open ant
decided stand against slavery, and for many year
he exercised all the power and energy of his grea
mind in trying TO convince the people that slavery
ought not longer TO be- tolerated IN this land OF free
| dom. He was man of superior talents, honest
and upright in all his dealings and intercourse with
his tellow man, and died about two years ago in
this city, much lamentcd by his numerous friends
and acquantances. More hereafter.
