TYLER MovExExrs-We understand that the
secret committee to organize the Tyler party, re-
Gently appointed at Washington Hall, experience
great difficulty in procuring materials to form
central committee OF seventeen in this city, in
order to call State Convention for the purpose of
appointing delegates to the Baltimore Convention
They have succeeded, we understand, in catching
only three or four, one of them being young man
named Mcbride They are still, however, very
ardent in the chase, and probably before the 25th OF
April next, they may catch the entire seventeen.
We learn further, that the secret committee have
endeavored to set trap for the purpose Of catching
MAJOR Joe Hopkins of the Fourth Ward. Well, if
they catch Major Joe, and place him on the COM
mlttee OF seventeen, to "cry aloud and spare not
10 the democracy, they may get some response.
But Joe Is not 10 be so easily caught as they
imagine However, they can try, and do their best.
The great difficulty in this secret committee, APP
pointed under the auspices of John Jones, the Pre-
sdent maker, not John Jones, the button maker,
OF 70 Plat street, up stairs, arises from the opposi
ton of the office holders here. This is really too
bad. Here are the honest friends of Captain
Tyler like the order of the Jesuits who compassed
heaven and earth to make one proselyte, moving
all the elements to catch seventeen delegates and
at every turn they met by the sneers, the ridi-
Guile, the taunts the laughter, the opposition Of the
men who are living the bounty of the President!
Was there ever man so duped as John Tyler
We think this last piece of ingratitude and decep-
ton, beats all that preceded it. We must give
full and graphic account of it in few days.
The SPRING ELECTIoN.-The wings have placed
their candidate for the Mayoralty before the public

"natives' bring forward their horse tonight in
Washington Hall-James Harper. The locofocos
are also very busy manufacturing their candidate,
and in few days we expect to see all the parties
in the field armed cap-a.pie AS soon as they are,
shall give full account OF the position and
prospects of them all, and our opinion of their re-
spective merits.
In the meantime, it is gratifying to find that the
movement for municipal reform, commenced by
the natives" has driven the wings and locotocos
into the same policy. Both cry out now for clean
streets-a good police-reduction of taxes. But we
very much fear, that we are not an inch nearer the
attainment of these most desirable reforms than we
were. Indeed, we are inclined to think that this
very universal shout of promises of reform, rather
calculated to obscure our hopes But we shall see

the subject The following is specimen which

No doubt the Plainfed financlers think it is very
unustifiabe and very unrighteous to prevent them
from shaving the community, and chiefly the poorer
classes, of some twenty thirty thousand dollars
year, by the establishment of bank whose princi
pal agency is in Fulton street, and chief shaver in
the Sun office. But we believe the sound banks
and sound of New Jersey entertain an
altogether different opinion of the matter.
The Planfeld Bank is merely second or
worse edition of the Monmouth Bank, which
was repealed at previous session of the New
Jersey legislature, and which happened to be
partly in the hands of the same class of financers
The Plainfeld Bank lost its reputation, when it be-
came associated with the same individual who de-
stroyed the Jacksonville Bank of Florida and the
Monmouth Bank of that State-and we have no
doubt this induced the appointment of the Commits

In the meantime, we again call on all people who
hold any of the bills of this bank, to hurry them
back upon the agency in this city, and to get rid Of
them as soon as possible. "A bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush"
