What We may think OF the ticket rendered 10
the country by the Wing National Convcn ton.
we do not assume to be matter Of public impor,
tance Nevertheless, it is our right, and perhaps
our duty, to say to our readers, that we palleve
delegates oIlhe Wing party, had the power 10 offer
to the American people Two men less exccp.
tonable to the honest and potriolic yeonanry Of
the country, in point Of Individual worth, could
not probably have been found among the A-n.
sands OF dis,nteresled merit, within the wide 80!
pass Of selection Worthy, popular, nay, b6t
loved by their conn!rymen, if a majority shall b.
or.ld to withhold their sultrages from General
Harrison and Mr.. Tyler for the highest Offices Of
the Republic, It may not authorize the conclu.
sion that they have no: the uabounded confidence
ol the people The strange combinations Of par
~ interests which signalize the period, places
these citizens before their country, as The repre-.
tativeS Of principles and parties, in some nsian-
ces foreign to each, in nany to one Of them, ana
may produce results which ia the absence ofthcsa
Pec3'ar associations, would be essentially va

OF John Tyler, We uTe warranted to speak by
our knowledge Of tho man. But why shall we
speak? His name is familiar to all the people,
from extremity to extremity Of the land and tie
evidence Of one witness who has known him long
and we'll, affirming his moral excclency, his intel
lectua power, and political purity and recttude,
can add nothing Of force to the testimony Of
public life for near thirty years. Nh Tyler cons.
menced his service for the country at a very early
age--being selected to the House of Delegates Of
Virginia before he had attained his 2lst year. By
that body. he. was appointed member oEihe Ex.
ecstve Council Of the State-whencsTff 3 was
soon transferred b. the people to The House Of
Of the United States Several
successive terms in the lower House of Congress,
he was next raised 10 the Chief Magislracy OF the
State. but before The expiration of his official
term, he was elected tone United States Senate.
His subsequent participation and the part he has
acted in the interesting events which have mark
Cd the era, are known to all. We will only nov
add of Mr. Tyler, that through all The changes OF
his political life, and imposing events he has
been distinguished as firm, consistant, and un'.
form Repub lcan. As traitor disciple 6Tike school
Of The great Je6trSoa Virginia HAS NOT
KNOWN IN HIS DAY.
