That on arriving al the hall. at r. M, we were in
formed that the committee up stairs had been taken
possession Of by Number Of poiessed lighting men, led
BY Isaiah Rynders who was coun,enanced in the pro-
ceedng BY Alexander Ming and Elijah r Purdy Of the
tenth ward.
On applying to Mr. Brown one Of the lessees Of The
hail. he stated that those persons, some OF them had
informed him that they were the committee Of arrange
ments for the meeting and he, not knowing 70 the con-
uary, allowed them TO enter II was soon discovered
thai they had gone up by back passage and taken pos
session Of the large room
The committee of arrangements for the meeting Of the
general committee. Of which Edward G West was CHAIR
Mems committee, Of which George j. Johnston was
chairman, assembled in the lower room OF the Hall to
proceed with the preliminary business for the Organizes
A request was then made to Mr.. Brown, that the per-
the large should be removed He reported
that his request 10 that effect had been answered b IN
sutng observations, and refusal to leave Directions
were then given have the doors Of the room locked,
prevent the of any more dstArbers before the
time appointed for the meeting. ...
going on Mr. Brown announced that the doors OF
the great room had been forced open we thereupon
went up into the ROOM and on entering found tne plat
form for the officers and speakers in possession Of
crowd Of well known fighting men. The notorious
Rynders stood at their head at the speakers stand
few minutes aerward and at twenty minutes past seven
before the time appointed for the meetng Rynders
posed as chairman Elijah f. Purdy. and In few minutes
the last named Individual. who was among and acting
plause, groans. and Kisses This Purdy is The grand
sachem Of the Tammany society The suchems had rec
commended the democracy to respond to the call OF the
Calling themselves Ii. Democratic Republican General
Committee" OF which A. A. Denman processes to be
chairman, had merely published CALL subsequently to
the sachems recommendation, inviting their fellow citi
zens to attend the meeting called by the council OF
sachems at Tammany Hail. and to adopt such measures
in support of union and harmony in the councils OF the
tain The glorious union Of the States" This false
pretext, TO facilitate interference with the meeting
already called Gas have stately to express our devo-
ton to the Union, and our opposition TO the Wilmot
Proviso."
Amongst the individuals on the platform was James
Leonard captain of the second district IN whose
presence rush was made at Daniel E. Sckes BY poF-
After Mr. Purdy came forward. Alexander Ming pre-
scented HIMSELF and read what was alleged to De series
Of resolutions During the reading the utmost confusion
prevailed II was evident that the friends OF Cass and
Butler were vast majority; but many OF them had rea-
son appehend personal violence if they attempted any
When Mr. Ming had finished his part Of the arrange.
ment, Rynders came forward the first and leading
speaker who called ont b. M e. Brady
and himself violently thrust from the meeting room by
those who avowed themselves organized for like pur
poses. 9H
The platform being still retained by the corps Of fight
ing men. and George H. Purser, and other well known
opponents Of Cass and Butler being seen actively en-
gagged ia fomenng the disturbance, 1T discovered
that this was one Of The occasions on which Of late the
attempt to sustain democratic principles at Tammany
Hall has been defeated by hired rioters.
We regret that Tammany Hall Is open to the admission
Of such desperate persons and that Rynders has the
means to secure the cooperaton OF Purdy Ming, and
Lorenzo B. Shepard which latter person addressed the
ocrats and sincere friends Of Union, will understand
that though patriotic intention in this meeting has thus
been for time thwarted. the Intention itself still exists
and shall be promptly manifested in manner which
shall unquesonabfy reflect the true sentiments OF the de-
mocracy OF this great metropolis as $3.50,
We the more regret the disturbances referred to- be-
cause il was our desire to have submitted letters from
Senators Cass and Dickinson, full OF patriotic feeling in
favor of our Union.
The audacity OF those who presumed TO attend this
meeting, though they known to have been in favor
of the "Wlmot Proviso," will not astonish those who
know the character of their leaders
From what has already been stated i will appear OBJ
Shepard, and Ming, is to create union between them
selves and the barnburners, for their common profit in
the hope that the combination Of eachey and duplicity
NAV prevent the ascendency Of those who stood by our
country and the principles and candidates OF the democ
racy, when enegades and traitors supported Van Buren,

they defeated Cass and Butler and caused the election Of

not associate with them. We think il infinitely more
important that the integrity OF party should be main
