The scene which here followed [says the Tnbunel
was beyond description. For about fifteen minutes
the shouts Of appreciation and dissent were kept up
in an incessant roar: cheers for Clay Were given
again and again, and one man proposed three groans
for Mr. Bolts. His proposition was not heard, IN

Mr. Bolts stood with folded arms, looking on the
troubled scene before him. Partial order having

The uproar having subsidized, Mr.. Greeley took
the floor, speaking on the slavery question, but
avoiding any reference to the Presidency
The President then stated that the sentiments
he had expressed on former occasion remain un,
changed. He was called on, however, as personal
friend of Mr. Clay, to make no further use Of his
name. We must yield TO this, for it is Mr.. Clay's
own wish. Cries of 4" Then nominate some one

vote for Gen TAYLOR. Loud cheers. He was
onlvsorrv that Mr.. Clay's wishes forced him to
resign back to the meeting the trust they had COM
mitted to him. The meeting then gave nine ire
mendous cheers for Mr.. Clay, and adjourned.
