Thus summoned, the friends Of Mr.. Tyler mus
tered to the number possibly OF two OF three nun
dred, and became spectacle to about the same
number OF persons led thither by their iondness
for the udicrous. And such spectacle we
guess it fully satisfied the anticipatons OF all
who witnessed it, for it e1celled any thing l'ia'
we ever saw in the way OF farce When we Gu
tered, at o'clock, the meeting was IN s'a'e u
confusion and uproar which beggars all oescfiP'
ton. The immediate cause OF the trouble aS
near as we could ascertain, was an attempt OIL
the part Of Mike Walsh to resist something thai
displcased him in the organization OF the meet
inc. In the midst Of the noise, however, Hold
over Shaler was announced as Chairman, and
several gentlemen were declared to be chosen Tor
Vice Presidents and Secretaries.
A Mr.. Smith, Of Dayton, Ohio, then mounted
the table and tried to speak, but he might as well
have attempted to make speech IN Bedlam.-
His voice was drowned in the shouts Of Walsh,
Hear him. Turn him OUT &c. Mike at
lenoth came forward, and for moment all was
still. After pouring out torrent OF vulgar pro-
ianity upon those who had attempted, as he said,
to put him down, he disclamed any intention to
interrupt the meeting, and, declaring his belief
that Mr.. Smith was gentleman, expressed the
hope that he would be heard. Mr.. Smiths cha
racter being thus endorsed by competent author
ity, he was permitted to proceed, Having proved,
to his own satisfaction doubtless, than John Ty-
Ter is an out and out Jefiersonian Democrat, and
a pure Patriot, incapable of tTeachery or dshon-
esty, and having poured large measure of abuse
upon Henry Clay and the Wings, he concluded
by presenting to the meeting series OF character
istic resolutions. When he had taken his seat,
the Chairman put the resolutions to vote and de-
clarcd them adopted, though by what process 1t
was not so easy TO determine, for the confusion of
Babel could not have been greater than that
which prevailed at this moment
The next speaker was Mike Walsh himself
and we must give him credit for uttering some
wholesome truths. He declared ~. hs vas lne
frs. and only genuine Tyler man in this city, and
the only one that had not begged for an office.
He said he had been offered the highes. offices
within the gift of the administration, but had re-
fused them all. lie knew Tyler personally, and
could testify that he was Patriot of the first
water, and unless he could be satisfied that the
election of Polk would not reInstate the dynasty
of the Old Hunkers, he would support the ad
ministration at the coming election. He dealt
some pretty hard blows upon the heads of those
who arc following Mr.. Tyler for the sake OF the
loaves and fishes, saying among other things
that he would ask pardon of God for calling them
men, for they were nothing but creatures, and
miserable at that.
Thomas Dunn English next mounted the ta-
bic; but having had quite enough of this most
laughable farce for hot night, We did not stay
to hear him through. This Tylerism is certainly
the funniest thing extant, and for The amuse-
ment il affords, if for nothing else, worthy of the
highest praise. Long live John Tyler!
