PORTSMOUTH TYLER DEMOCRATIC MEET


This meeting was held last night, and the Town
Hail was filed at hourly hour, with our citizens,
many Of our political opponents being present. Mr..
William Morrill, was called to the Chair, and Wills
Cowper appointed Secretary. The designs of
the meeting we're opened by Dr. William Collins,
who stated that the object was to concentrate and
unite the Democratic vote, TO insure the defeat
Of Henry Clay in this State and then read Form
Of Organization, which was signed by numerous in
dividuals friendly to John Tyler and Democracy
That organization will be left at the bookstore Of H.
J. Gregory, where all friendly to its objects in
vi,ed to call and put down ,Leir names.
MIR, A. ,. Cunningham then took the floor and af-
ter few remarks, in which he stated the fac, that
portion Of the Democracy had at,cmp ed TO coerce
the opinions and action OF their brethren, remarked
that they had come there to assert their rights as
freemen and Democrats, and submitted the follow
ing;
Whereas, in rcverting to the history of JOHN TY-
LER, from the time he first the stage of pub
lie action until the present moment, we can find no
one act of bis long public life which will not bear
the closest scrutiny, and stand the sevcrest tests of
the Constitution, and Democracy therefore
ktsofrfd Il nat we approve oil The determination of
portion Of the Democratic party, 10 do full and am
pie justice to JoHN Tyler; and IN testimony of our
appreciation Of his whole Of public action
since he has been in the Executive Chair we pledge
ourselves to support him for the Presidency in the
ensuing election
Resolved, 1 bat TO carry out this pledge effectively,
and in good faith, Committee Of Five shall be APP
pointed, 10 bic known az the Central Committee of
Norfolk county, whose duty il shall be to correspond
with the Central Committee at Washington, and
other places, to give any information that may be of
importance to be known at the scat of Government
ascertain and enrol the efficient and true friends of
Tyler and the Constitution, and call meetings of the
party from time TO time as they may conceive adj
vantageous to the promotion Of our objects.
Resoirsd, That we dcplore any division in the De-
mocraic party. and approve of and earnestly desire
the formation OF Union Ticket, to be run by the
friends Of MIR. TrLEs and Mr.. PoLx, by which union
each individual can vote for the man he prefers.
without cndapgering the success Of the Dcmocr acy,
ascertain the wishes Of majority, and place the de-
feat Of Henry Clay beyond the reach Of doubt
Resolved, That the recognition of the indepen.
depcs Of Texas by this Government, was a solemn
hedge Of our National FAITH to treat with and act

Resolpsd, That we look upon abe action Of the Sc

Treaty OF Annexation, and asking the consent oil
Mexico, q violation Of the National Faith dsbon
orabe, and injarious To the best interests Of tnis

Resolved, That in such arrangement as Is re-
ferred To in the third resolve is not speedily effected
we fully concur IN the recommendation oil inc De-
mocracy Of Accomac, lately assembled al fungo-
league, that State Convention be held at Norfolk

most respectfully that the day be postponed until the
first Tuesday IN august.
= Resolved, That the preliminary business OF apPohi-
ing delegates, &C., be devolyed on the Committee
created BY resolution two.
Mr.. Cunningham then addressed the meeting at
some length, when he took occasion TO review The
state OF feeling which had existed between portions
of the Democracy for the past year. and reverted to
the noble stand taken by Mr.. TYLER, and fully ex.
onerated him from every stale and malignant charge
of the Wing party, showing him to have been the
firm and consistent Democrat, from the time he en-
tered upon the stage of public lfe and possessed OF
more than Roman energy and frmness, which emu
bled him to resist the encroachments of the Federal
The resolutions were then adopted unanimously
and the Committee created by the second resolution,
appointed as follows :--Messrs WIN. Collins, A. +.
Cunningham, X. w. Young, Wills Cowper, and VIM,
Morrill,.
Mr.. +. Fisk next addressed the meeting at length,
and showed the necessity of union in the Democra-
tic party, if they desire the defeat Of Henry Clay.
Give look into the machinery worked by Benton,
Blair & Co., showed how their projects were de-
feated by the nomination of Mr.. Polk, whom, he
said, was an original out-and-out Tyler man, having
called the first Tyler meeting South and West OF the
Potomac, and penned the resolutions with his own
hand.
On motion,
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be
published in the papers of Portsmouth and Norfolk,
Richmond Enquirer, Madisonian and Spectator,
Washington, and that all the papers friendly to the
objects Of this meeting be requested to copy.
The meeting then adjourned.

To the gentlemen Of The bar and other officers Of the

The expressions in your letter to me of this day, on
my retiring from the Office Of chancellor will be trea-
sured in my hearts core, and left as legacy to my
children. To be commended by a bar so numerous
and talented that of the city Of Louisville COM

in their general views of public policy. had been
pleased to afford salary adequate to the support Of
myself and family and commensurate with the ar

of the largest and most enthusiastic public meetings

in the cause of truth and justice We are aware
that some of our friends desire but one electoral
ticket be voted for by the opponents of Clay. Such
an arrangement, based upon principles of perfect
equality, and carried out in good faith, might work
well in some States, but no who has read the

PORTSMOUTH, (va) June %, 1914.
MY Dean Sra reached here just in season to
attend Of the largest and most enthusiastic Tyler
meetings which has ever been held in this blessed old
Commonwealth. The meeting was addressed by DR..
VIM. Collins, A. f. Cunningham, and Theophilus
Fisk, Esqs The best possible spirit prevailed
throughout the vast asscmbIsgc, and the speakers
we're repeatedly applauded At the close Of the
speeches large number came forward and signed
their names 10 the new Tyler orgsn,xation--dc,cr-
mined to conquer die in the last ditch
The Polk men here have been quite independent,
and not little dctstorial, in this vicinity. felt
myself called upon to rebukc this ant,-Democrs,ic
spirit-which duty performed in good round Saxon.
A proposition for union had been made before
arrived, which had not been met by the Van Buren,
leaders of the Polk party with that cordially /
thought it demanded ; and told them they could
have peace or war-that we held out them the knife
in one hand and the olive branch 10 the other-it was
for them to choose il they chose war il would BE-
for them war Of determination on our part-tbat
when once bad drawn the sword il would never
be returned to its scabbard They arc as plant as
lambs
We shall hold State Convention on the first Tues
day August to form electoral ticket and to pro-
mote a thorough organization. We are in high
spirits throughout the whole section
In great haste, your friend.
