BALTIMORE. May g l5ii-


The TYLER Convention met yesterday morning
at Ii o'clock, and after much confusion ana huo
bub NJ. Editor Smith Of Ohio nominated -hF,
Hold.orer ShaIer Of New. ork Chairman ior the
purpose of organization. Alter ne had taken his
seat an attempt WIS made by some TO cause Gre
dep,als to be exhibited but as this would PTooa-
by show the exact number Of States represented
and Delegatcs present, il was frowned down, and
motions were submitted and voted upon by any
person who chose to take part in the proceedings


fall the Conventions | have ever seen this Is
the one longest to be remembered. The House
or REPRESENTATIVES of the XXVIIIlh Congress
bad and disorderly as it is, cannot compete with
the "Tyler Convention" Redlam let loose 1t
,rould shame it even the Sixth Ward OF the city
of New.York. where Mr.. Shsler holds forth,
would be rendered shady in the presence OF this
august body. After the gentlemen present had
satisfied themselves with hootings and yelngs, a
h-esthing spell occurred long enough TO appoint
:, commii,ee TO select officers. A Mr.. White OF
Connecticut, think, was made President. Be-
ing unexpcctedly called upon, and probably not
nrepared with an e1temporaneous speech he very
rronIr turned his nat over and read from il few
pages for the occasion.


Whether anv assaults were actually committed
in the room cannot say, but can say that |,
who YOU vii! agree, perhaps, have seen some few
demonstrations Of this sort, momently expected

Really, there is life in the ghost Of Tylcnsm,
and begin to entertain sort OF =" malicious re-
spect" for the great cab party" Tor l did not
suppose that a galvanc battery, as big as the
Astor House. could be made to cause so much
nervous agitation as was exhibited oo this occa-
sion. Twelve or fourteen States were saio 10 DC
represented there, and am sure four times inat
number of Custom Houses and Post Ofhces'
furnished the worthy constituency oil ms jealous
assemblage. The business OF the Convention
was preceded by prayer from the Rev. Mr. -
of Virginia, who was also a Delegate, with the
badge-a gilt button with I" lone star upon 1t,
and, "TyIer and Texas in button hole:
when he had finished his prayer, still retaining
the floor and making political speech, he offered
resolutions bedauoing John Tyler with praise
aud nominating him candidate ioI reelection.


This brought voIley Of yells and hoot!ngs

probably the Rev. gentleman could not be lndu-
ced to accept Chaplaincy in the Navy: NO.
not he. Among the elite OF the "Cab Party"
present, noticed Messrs. J. l.. GRAHAM, your
Postmaster, SHALER, TowLE, Naval Officer, IA

the movements Our stapnchlriend J. M. Bolts
was at my side, and appeared 10 ENJOY the scene
with great zcst. The Locofoco convention sue
cceded in organizing at late hour, as you have
probably learned, and when they adjourned for
the night they left unfinished the debate upon
the proposition which had been sprung upon them
by the southern members, TO adopt the rules OF
the convention of 1882 and 1885 which require
y two third vote 10 nominate


Ii this proposition should succeed, OF course
Van Buren, is used up man but my impres
sion is that it cannot succeed. There were sew
eral meetings last evening in Monument Square
and much elimination and recrminatlon among
the Democrats Several scenes occurred that
beggarcd description. From the North steps OF
Barnum's Hotel crowd of Locos, Tyler men
and Wings, were addressed at the same moment
by Van Buren, man, a Tyler man, and a Demo-
