JOHN TYLER FOR THE PRESIDENCY BY
THE PEOPLE.
IMMENSE MASS MEETING IN NEW YORK.
On the 4th instant, the masses Of the people as
sembled in the Park in the city Of New York. TO de-
liberate upon the Texas question. Hon. J. Ii. Suy-
dam presided the assemblage. Upon his taxi
| ing his seat salute Of twenty-six guns was fred,
and the star spanged banner was run up to the peak
of the staff A pause ensued, when single Gun, for
7tras doomed upon the air, and the lone star OF
Texas" was quickly unfurled. ThercupoD, shouts
upon shouts rent the heavens, and music OF the
/" Star-spangled Banner" hoard in the intervals
! Extracts from the resolutions.
| Resolved, That we hold with the immortal Jackson
that the present golden moment to obtain Texas
must not be lost y with BIN, we "bope ana trust
there will be as many patriots In the Senate as VIII
ratiy the treaty." and we rejoice that the statesman
hero of the new world has seen TIT to publish his
views upon the Texas question under his own sigma
ture instead of leaving them be inferred from the
artful representations of his less manly successor.
Resoleed, That we regard the question OF the re-
annexation of Texas the most important that has
come before since the formation of our Federal
Constitution. In twelve States OF this Confederacy
il is QUESTION EXISTENCE in sixteen other States
il is BRITIsH AND AMERICAN QUESTION and in every
State question Of UNION DisUNIoN; for to say
that Texas, account Of slavery, shall not ENTER
INTO THE UNION is nothing less than an order to the
South, on the same account, TO co OUT
Resolved That all the just and valid powers Of all
Governments are derived from the consent of the
govened;" that Henry Clay and Martin Van Buren,,
by contending that Mexico can hold jurisdiction
Texas, when II is well known that Mexico has not
the g consent" of any portion of the people she
would fan "govern," have practically abandoned
the fundamental proposition of the Democratic faith,
and admitted doctrine that would degrade us and
our fathers from the honorable rank of freemen to
the condition of successful rebels
Resolved That the conduct of Mr.. Clay in l625'27,
when he proposed to purchase Texas from Mexico,
although tie latter State had but recently risen in
bellion against Spain and while her strongholds
were still in possession OF the Spanish troops and the
conduct of MIR Van Buren, in 1929, in urging Mexi-
co to sell us Texas, to supply herself vi 18th the
means of defending the residue of her territory
when compared with the recent homilies Of these
apparently allied politicians convicts them, by their
showing, of the most criminal disregard OF the
national honor at former period, or else OF the most
shameless hypocrisy now.
Resolved, That the patriotic exertions Of the Ma
tional Executive TO Ie-anneX Texas TO the United
States Justly entitle him TO the proud distinct Of
redceming territory formerly our own, and thereby
placing her people in a coniederacy where by Ian.
guage, by blood and by moral and political congo
nialities, they naturally belong. An intelligent peo
pie will discern that he has in tins, as in the other
acts Of his Administration acted as the Chief Magis-
rate OF the whole Ration and not as tbe mere agent
| of any political party
Re,oired That we will, at the approaching cleo.
ton for President aud Representatives TO Congress,
! give our votes TO candidate for either Office who
shall not be unequyocally in favor OF the immediate
annexation Of 1exas, and we call upon all true
Americans in all parts of the Union, to consider the
proprety of adopting and avowing similar deter
r, solved, THAT WE HAIL THE PROPOSE
TON OF A TREATY BETWEEN THE
| ~ ID y .
GLORIOUS EPOCH IN THE ANNALS OF
OUR COMMON COUNTRY, AND THAT
PRESIDENT TYLER MERITS AND MEETS
WITH OUR MOST HEARTY THANKS
FOR THE ENERGY AND PATRIOTISM
WHICH HE HAS SHOWN IN URGING FOR
WARD A NEGOTIATION WHICH, AL
THOUGH SUCCESSFULLY ATTEMPTED
BY OF HER STATESMEN, 1T WAS LEFT
FOR HIS ENLIGHTENED POLICY TO AC-
COMPLISH.
| One spirit and determination pervaded the
meeting, and that was "TExAs NOW OR NEVER, AND
AT ALL HAZARDS"
The following eloquent passage al the close of
Mr.. Tasistro's speech on The occasion, will perhaps
open the cys Of those politicians who going
about with Drummond light for candidate for the
Presidency in order to beat Mr.. Clay:
"And shall we, when permitted to enjoy the fruits
of annexation, forget what is due to John Tyler for
his great eIeItons IN the cause of humanity mo,
no, never, and great cheers.) Shall not rally
around him IN the hour of need, and prove that the
people love him and can yer be ungrsteful to him
| (Yes, yes-hurrah for John Tyler Great shouting
and cheofing) Then, my friends, and folow-citi-
rens, let hear you make the wekin ring with three
hearty and honest cheers for John Tyler. (Iere the
shouting and the enthusiasm was Tremendous p
Shout again. Immense chccring) Again. (Shout-
| ing and applause.) One more cheer and have done
John Tyler and the people against aristocracy and
federalism. CHEERS upon cheers, shouting from ev-
cry direction, which lasted for several minutes)
Another Tyler and Texas meeting was then
called by the multitude.
