The friends of Joms TrLEa-ihe renegade, mpos-

By rule of the Board OF Aldermen, the signatures
of at least one hundred citizens are required 10

curious TO the assemblage Of names that would
cluster around so contemplate cause as that OF
Tyler, we procured copy OF The petition, WIN 'he
names Of the petitioners, and published II ~ our pa

ISOLATED on that petition such 10 render the
whole matter farcical aud ridiculous rather than TO
entitle IT TO any serious consideration. We were not
little surprised, however, To the list the name
OF SO firm and true Wing fellow citizen, Mr.
Ezra Forri,lai We could by no means divine how
be fell into such company. In the midst oil our
wonder, who should walk into Office but Mr..
Forristal himself lie authorizes us to state, une-
quivocally that HE NEVER SIGNED Tue PETITION
that he fec too strongly attached to the Wing cause,
to take part IN any Tyler meeling--and that his
name, that petition, is bold and bareiaced FOR
gerry.
state that he signed the petition, not in favor OF
John Tyler, but for The purpose OF granting to those
who in his favor, the use OF the Hall. he says
he is member of the Bosten Clay Club, No. l, and,
of course. has no affinity with Tyler.
MIR. Franklin A. kidder, one Of the sgners, also
requests TO state that he does not desire TO be

ton, in order to give them chance in the Hail.
Since writing the above, we have received the fol-
lowing note:

Mr.. Webster, we were aware, had warned
the Wing party some time since against then

THE LYING ATLAS AGAIN.
On our last page will be found "premonitory
system" relatv. the falsehoods Of the Atlas, and
the petition of those who have asked for the use OF
Faneuil Hall ''for meeting OF the friends Of Presi-
dent 1yern-to which we would direct attention.
In addition to what is there intimaed, we would say
that the Atlas there appeared also this intImaon,
that Mr.. Ezra Forisal authorized the editors " 10

have appended TO their signatures this fe insurance
clause" beg you iciu not conclude thai am 1y-

And as for Mr.. c. Augustus Puen, will say
that he came into our counting room on Thursday,
the day before his communication appeared Ia the
Atlas, and after showing himself of most disgrace
fully, made some inquiries as to whether there was
any other person who bore the same name. We as.
sured him there was, and proceeded at TO salts

The Charles H. Puilen who did sign the petition is
