as it was going to press, but was crowded out
voidably
0ErThe great Tayler meeting in Cincinnati, which
from the reports of the papers would have probably
ended in grand row, was suddenly broken up and
dispersed by the sinking down of the building where
they were congregaed This is nothing Of the ''snk-
ing they will experience in the Presidential race.
We had only time when the foregoing written
to make these few reRarks, nor do we now care to
more than add, that the above hasy statement is
rooorated by later accounts Had we space we would
give extracts from several papers. We Judge, how
ever that the following from the Cincinnati Gazette
the leading wing paper of that city, will answer our
present purpose. The ofice-seeking gentry who ex-
Pect 10 be rewarded by Gen. Taylor, should he be
elected, and for that purpose making udys of
themselves, will SOON find they have "put their foot
in It," 1t may be well enough to remark that the
Enquirer says that chad it been for this unforu-
nate accident occurring at the time it did, the pro-
ceediLgs of the meeting would have been full Of in
cidents. The cauldron had fairly commenced boiling
and the results promised be of an exciting charac
ter The independent tone of the meeting was be-
coming lost IN the mazes of political schemes: and
tine convusive efforts Of TAYLoRITEs preserve it's
purity, was about being overslaugbed by other and
party issues. The result would have been a row and
general fzzing out of the Taylor thunder"
The following is the Gazette's article, and is cor
roboratIve Of all the others we have seen.
The Taylor meeting, pursuant to the adjournment
on "Wednesday evening, assembled again last evening,
in Fifth street market space
1t will be recoeced that at the first meeting the
committee, raised for that purpose, reported resou-
tons expressing decided preference for Gen. Taylor
for the next Presidency, and presenting him 10 the
Wing National Convention the first choice from
among the distinguished candidates for the Chief Ma
gistracy. That MIR. James w. Taylor hereupon offer
ed substitute and among other things, presented the
name of General Taylor to the State and Union as
the Peoples Candidate irrespective of parties or con-
venions That at this stage of the proceedings the
meeting was precipitately adjourned, in consequence
Of the settling of the floor of the ''Coege Hail.
The adjourned meeting last evening was called to
order by Mr. Pendeton the chairman who stated that
having read the call Of the meeting, since the ad-
Juurnment, which he had not done BEFORE he desired
to state that under that call none other than those
friendly to the nomination of General Taylor for the
Presidency had the right to participate in its proceed
lngs motion was then made and carried, to re-
commit the resolutions and substitute of the previous
meeting, TO the committee resolutions. The COM
mltee reported inSaHter, recommending that said
olutlons and substitute be referred to meeting to be
held on the 22d of February nstant-and further
ported two three resolutions declaring in SUBJ
stance that General Taylor their first choice for
the Presidency, and the report was adopted.
On motion of Mr.. James w. Taylor it was resolv-
ed that this meeting recommend that those friendly to
the election of Gen. Taylor the next Presidency
hold mass meeting in this city the ODD of Febru-
airy, instant.
Hereupon the meeting adjourned sine die. The of
fetal duration OF the meeting was about fifteen min
uteS. From the exciting incident of the previous
meeting, expected to a very large cro,cd last
evening but the gathering small one and there
total restitution of enthusiastic expression of
feeling.
Wewere advised yesterday that there existed diff
ference of views among the friends of General Tay
lor, and that difference, other potent cause
occasioned the final failure of the Taylor Meeting"
After the adjournment, COL Mitchell introduce
ed by General Wade and the Colonel made Speech
as did also Mr.. Penn of Brown county. The meeting
was then turned into something of farce by calls
for Mr.. Storer, John Brough, Mr.. Thompson, Col
Weller Mr.. Clarke, Jake Finn, and others, which
were sllenced BY the rising of young man who an
nounced himself to be cooper by trade, and said she
was for Gen. Taylor first, Gen. Taylor last and for
Gen. Taylor all the time''-and continued to speak
fifteen or twenty minutes.
