licking to the venerable Editor for which, We
doubt MOTTO receive many thsnks-as long usire

dispensablc to his existence.
But respecting the sentiment Of the country, wo
beg to assure him, and through him Mr. Tylcr, that
We have not in any thing VIC have said, cxleger,-
tod the feelings Of the people in tho country. With
many opportunities OF seeing and hearing, we heard
of no Wing, and what may sound harshly upon
Citizen Rrchie's cars, saw only one Democrat

Mr Tyler. Tho Locos, contrary to our cxpocta
tons, repudats MIR Tyler with more carnes,ncss
than the Wings generally do. They have no pa
tence under the imputation, that they are Tyler
men; and we heard of one of tho mos, dstin.
su'shod IN the State, declaring, that he would vast
Iy prefer MIR Clay to Mr. Tyler. The eiror, of thu
Enquirer, in connekion with tho parasites, who
visit the White House, to produce a different inn

President would do it. But fortunately, the En-.
