More Tyler Movements.
We perceive from a variety of proceedings pub
Ished in the "Aurora"-rhe organ Of the Tyler
office holders in this clty-that meetings were
held in many Of the wards on Monday evening
last, at which resolutions were passed in favor OF
the annexation of Texas, and of Captain Tyler
Delegates were also elected on these occasions TO
swell the Mass Convention to be held here on the
18th inst. These meetings were got up privately ana
clandestinely, without syllable OF previous an
nouncement. Thus, the real friends OF oaP'alh
Tvler-the democratic mass friends OF Captain
TYLER. knew nothing of the existence OF these
meetings and were of course shut out from attend
ing them. In fact the meetings were got up by
particular cl,que who wish to retain their present
position in the Tyler movement in this city, and by
that means to bold on 10 the offices which some Of
their friends possess We perceive among the
names of those enumerated as Chairmen, Secre.
taries, and other dignitaiies at those meetings,
that George D Strong Is at the head Of them, with
an eloquent contemporary, Louis Fitzgerald Tasis-
iro--who Is capable OF making by far the best
speech amongst the whole of them.
This movement originates with the Post office
Clique, and an ofishoot from the Custom House,
comprising John l.. Graham, Redwood Fisher,
Mr.. Towle, McKibbin, and their friends out of
Office, George d. Strong, and others. In fact, it
is a movement Of the old conservative clique, o.
which Mr.. Webster felicltously said might be
slowed away in a reasonably sized Broadway om-
nbus. They are all very clever men--very. But
somehow from the connection of the leaders
amongst them with exploded Trust Companies and
Banking Institutions, the masses won't follow
them They are very capable of being good OIL
Gals, but they have no popularity. They never
can institute a real, smashing Tyler movement
They never can form the nucleus OF an absolute
TYLER party with strong faith and full hopes Of car
rying half an electoral vote throughout the whole
Union In brief, the simple truth is, that this is
merely spasmodic effort-a sort of convusive
wriggling of some OF the present office holders, TO
retain ''the spoils" and cannot avail them.
Preparations are, however, now in progress by
the bone and sinew of the democracy, particularly
that branch of it which has been so completely de-
molished by the " Natives for the purpose of re-
organizing Tyler party here previous to the State
Convention to be held in this city and the Van
Buren, Convention in Baltimore. We understand
that the leading spirits Of this movement are, first
Ex-Alderman Purdy--a strong man, iron to the
back -bone-Ex- Alderman Shaler, another prodg-
GUS granite block,of the demOcracy-Chas. Ferris
Mr. Atwood-Gen. Arculanus, Eli Moore and
many Others o. d similar stamp-all OF them being
men who have been conn letely Identified with the
democratic party of Tammany Hall, and been
great Leaders in all the important movements which
have had their birth place in that renowned strong
hold of democratic principles. The arrangement
of which these preparations are the result, was
made by Captain Bob Tyler, who induced all these
originally Van Buren, men to come forth to aid this
grand movement, and they are only awaiting the
word of command at Washington-fuly prepared
to commence general movement in every ward
OF this city, and to show that they effect
Tyler organization out of the remnants and rags
which have been left of the democrats by t he
"Natives."
Another reason for the adoption of this new and
excellent project, u.s. that as the " natives" have
carried .he Corporation, the young democracy
thereby defeated, must give up the spoils
and hesh-pots dispensed at the City Hall,
and seek their victuas somewhere and they
now smell the klchen strong towards the Custom
House and Post Office. To secure these, Charles
G. Ferris was nominated Collector in the place Of
Curtis-others will be nominated to fill the other
places; and as soon as these nominations are made,
the movement will take place here. This will be the
real young democracy, with the stamp OF Tyler
upon it; and it will create terrible DIVISION and
DISCRIMINATION in Tammany Hall much greater
than any yet that has been attempted
In the meantime the wings in the Senate at
Washington don't know their policy, II they do not
Immediately confirm Charles q. Ferris to the Col
Iectorshp of this port and also all those other no
limitations that remain to be made. II they cannot
see this policy we can tell them distinctly, that the
success OF the present movement now commenced
by Captain Bob Tyler, in New York, will do more
to demoralze and dsorganZe he Van Buren, party
n this city and State than anything ever yet al
empted The young democracy favorable to Van
Buren,, being driven from the City Hall, are run
ming, smelling as they go, towards the Custom
house and Post Office, delighted with the savoy
odors which stream from the kitchen there, and
ready to shout out "Tyler and Texas" till they are
black in the face, and hoarse as frogs, provided
they can get anything to eat by it, IF the wings,
therefore, in the Senate should confirm Ferris, and
all the others who may be nominated verify
believe that it would be the greatest movement in
favor OF the election of Henry Clay, and tending to
the utter Reorganization of the Van Buren, party
in this city and State, that has yet taken place.
