different States 10 the Tyler National Convention to
be held at Baltimore next Monday, took place al
Todds, Concert Hall, in this city. James II. Suy-
Jam, Esq of New York, presided, and George Ro-
berts, Esq Of Boston, acted as Secretary. The
meeting was intended mainly for business purposes,
and as preparatory TO the Convention out such was
the zeal and enthusiasm OF our friends and such their
haste to do justice TO honest JoN TYLER, that they
Jumped at into the merits Of the cause, and
when We entered the Hail. that staunch and fearless
friend OF the Administration, Delazon Smith, Esq,
OF Ohio, addressing the large audience, IN strain
of eoquence which We never heard surpassed on any
occasion, and which was constantly interrupted with
deaiening and long continued applause. IL was In
deed proud hour for the friends OF our Republican
President. Sincerity determination and iearlsssness,
the common attendants of honest patriotism, seemed
depicted, in every countenance, and gave the best
assurances that there will be hesatng or finch
ing in the important business TO be transacted on
Monday next.
We regret our inability TO furnish even an outline
of the powerful address Of Mr. Smith. Suffice il TO
say, that it truly eloquent and most conclusive
vindeation Of the principles aud official acts OF Pres
ident TYLER. 1t was transferable. Al the close,
the audience gave three hearty cheers for the Buck
eye Orator." three more for John Tyler the next
President of the United States" three more for Ty-
Ter and Texas" and then the meeting adjourned 10
meet nj Baltimore.
The prospect is that we shall have glorious Con-
venton. Among the Delegates who have already
arrived, Of the Oldest and stauuchest Demo-
Gratis in the country, and many of them sustained

Since the above was in type, we have received the
following from one of printers, who was present
and reported 1t from memory
Mr.. DELAzoN SAITH, one of the delegates from
Ohio, being called upon, with great cheerfulness
rose, and occupied the foor for upwards of an hour
in an address of the most eloquent, pertinent, and
mastery character. Being invited (.aid Mr. s. TO
make few remarks before this assembly, rise not
so much for the purpose of making an elaborate and
studied speech as to prove, by a brief relation of
facts, that Jons TYLER the present incumbent of the
Executive chair, is the legitimate and only opponent
Of HENRY CLAY in the coming contest for the Presi-
dency. Although TO an enlightened audience like
this, need not review succinctly the life of john
Tyler yet will be necessary TO revert. TO the prnci-
pal features OF his political career TO sustain the po
sition we occupythat he deserves, at the hands OF
the unbougtt yeomsnry Of the country-at the hands
of honesty, Of justice of truth, and Of virtue the

infancy in its princPlcs-brought up at the feet OF
Jeterson-a native of Misunderstanding the same

cracy--a constant alheient Of his school from boy
hood-he was selected the most appropriate indi-
vidual TO deliver the eulogy the life and character
of that illustriOus expounder Of Democratic doc
trines But it is needless, as said before TO trace
mlnu'Gy the various events Of his life. Suffice il ia
say that the consistency Of his conduct has teen
impaired and he stands now before the unbiased

laboring and mechanical in'eres,s-a friend 10 the

Of the nomination Of the ticket in 1910, that, how
