At this stage Of the proceedings, regret to say

AID shook hands with Mr.. Smith. Some confusion
then ensued. Mike said that he did not object to
MIR. Shaer for chairman, but he objected TO the
meeting being called to order before O'Clock.

excellent speech in full. However we will give the
following particular points of 1t, which were receiv-

those who work with their hands, as do when at

Chief Magistrate Of tins Republ c. and to support
the excellent principles which he advocates.
Here some one interrupted, saying, "Polk and

that he would come at them shortly if they would
hear him. He then proceeded
1t is necessary, in arraigning man in a court Of
justice, to give him counsel and jury of his coun-

his character; and who the Jury who are to try
John Tyler, except his countrymen in such NEE l.
ing as his! We are 10 try hn, and clam to be ar
impartial advocate of his cause. Let US, them in the
prosecution OF this cause, inquire what are and be
guided by honest JeQersonian principles.
