"WHo" NOMINATED JOHN TYLER FOR
VICE PRESIDENTS
This is the fourth time of asking.
We think we have already shown, that the
pretension of the" Wing party" Gas we de-
fined" them and their "position" on the third
time Of asking,) touching the election of =,
Tippecanoe and Tyler Too,"
are altogether arrogant and groundless, and with
out any parallel in the whole annals of egotism
and vanity, not even excepting the fable Of the
Fly upon the WheeU Truly, "whata dust zoe do
rase!" said the Fly. And what dust the whole
Wing party, like the fly, have raised in the great
revolution of the political wheel, that wheeled
MIR. Van Buren, out, and, rolling with the tide
of popular triumph, brought General HARRISON
in.
To show the course Of events, after the cleo
ton in 1886, and the means adopted by the Har-
rson party to secure his election in 1910, we re-

upon by their fellow citizens, from different parts of
the Commonwealth TO take measures for immedi
ate and eectual organ cation for the Presidential
paign of le40
In pursuance of these calls, such of the Committee
still reside at the Seat of Government assembled
and, upon full interchange of opinions determined
to call meeting Of their fellowcitizens, and submit
to them the evidences of public opinion in this and
other States the position of those opposed to
Federal dctation and Federal msrule, and the
true nature of the crisis In consequence of this
request, large and respectable number of the People
met at Harrisburg, and recommended immediate &C
ton of the friends Of General Harrison throughout
the Union, and appointed Central Committee, who
with members of The State Committee, assembled and
organized as one body
That Committee eheertuiiy respond to the unani-
resolution Iatsy passed in nearly epery county, in
the Commonwealth, by the People in their primary
semblies in favor Of GENERAL HARaIsoN. They are
ho~oSer, eomPosL to express their regret, that when

communicative aude to The proceedings Of late
meeting in Philadelphia, in which those who porIic
pated have urraycd themselves against the whole
Commonwealth"
The public cannot BIO at a loss to guess whose dis.
organizing parlisans composed this meeting, mr. 10
what deperate clique they belonged.
But the Address proceeds and adds, concor hing
tho conduct OF these patriotic dIsorsanzers, that
"The committee cannot believe that course i'm
polite is sanctioned by the sober and rejecting e
Of Philadelphia, but that it was tho act of uare-
fleeing politicians who not aware of the suicidal
stabs they giving their interests and heir
ovn party in the State, and throughout the Union"
For our present purpose we have given sufficient
extracts from the Introductory part Of The Address to
show the and end of tho whole and 10 satisfy any
unPrtjudiced mind that the views taken by the COM
mttee and tho arguments they urged, which
quoted from the ln,eigencer, and adopted in the
"Mird time Of asking, Who nominated John Tyler
for Vice President7"] could not fail of placing Gen
eral Harrison in such favorable light before The peo-
pie of the United States, to his election.
Not satisfied however, with the facts and argu-
ments Of their Address, the Committee in conclusion
