DUELLO GRANDD.

The grand performance set down for last Tuesday
did not take place. The nclenency Of the weather
and the indsposItion of Of the monkeys caused
parey that resulted in an amcable adjustment ia
part. Two of the aspirants for bloody fame had
agreed TO meet at the Hospital Grove on "Wednesday
morning, but were frustrated in the execution oil
their chvalrous designs by the oicious interference
on the preceding evening, Of one Of the miscreauts
OF the law, whose huge paw held them IN durance
vie, until released by recognizance duly acknow-
lodged, conditioned TO abstain from naghhy tricks.
Saturday evening" party properly armed, equipped
and attended, repaired to the grove and nerchanged
loaded oompllments-thc result Of which was that
of them will not be able to cut the pigeon
ngn again for a spell. The ball Of his antagonist
grazed tie right knee pan, aud passed entirely through
the left leg he wound is considered somewhat
dangerous. The parties attached 10 the Navy,

Much Of the future depends upon the result of the
New rk election, Ii that State should go against
Mr.. Clay, we think he will not be candidate. In
few DAYS the elections in New York, Massachusetts
and Delaware, will take place. In Massachusetts,
the Wings are very busy getting out their votes :
they know if there should be any abatement of Wing
strength there th,t 1t will be grieyous blow to their
cause. The nomination Of Gov. Davis, OF Massachu-
sets for Vice President, may give the Clay Wings in
that State better chance than if Mr.. Clay alone
there. This Vice Presidential nomination has been
made to aid, il possible, Mr.. Clay in the East. But
in our judgment it avas but little with whom he
runs, he never be President Of tese United
States. Gentlemen may speculate and speculate as
they please upon the next President, feel conf
dent, for ourselves, that no man can be chos in OPP
position to the whole strength Of Mr. Tylers Adj
ministration. And we throw out this idea, for the
consideration of the people of the count at large.
For the more they examine ii, the thoroughly
will they be convinced that its truth cannot be serl-
ously questioned.
We shall take this subject up hereafter more in
detail. For the present merely cast il before the
public eve, for consideration We repeat, that no
candidate can be elected President, who has Mr. Ty-
ler's Admin tration opposed 10 him Nor do we give
this opinion upon a superficial consideration of the
question, but upon impartial examination Of the
whole ground, that must be passed over in the sp-
preaching Presidential campaign.

THE RATIFICATION.

We congratulate all our citizens that the Treaty
recently negotiated between Mr.. Webster and Lord
Ashburton has been ratified by G. eat Britain, and
that thus end has been put to all the cavils and
heart-burnngs and discussions that long existed
between the United States and England.
The event should be, and doubt not will be-
hailed with Joy by vast majority of the American
people though it may be true that there are some
who stand reaGy to find fault with, and carp at
Treaty which has ad usted long-exIstng and irrtat-
ing difficulties between two great and enlightened ma
tons Here, among all classes, the annunciation Of
the ratification of the Treaty has been hailed with
mingled emotions of pide, JOY, and eXultation.
Whilst we congratulate our friends and country
men on the consummation of what hope may
prove to be, in fact, what may be called, of the
- blessings of lasting peace"
we congratulate the President that he has succeeded
in identifying his administration with an act which
will rebound to its prosperity and to his individual
honor.
Nearly iye-and-twenty years have elapsed since
anterior administrations attempted to adu,t the
ed question at issue between the United States and
England without success. During that proiracted
period the nation has been driven to the very verge
of war; in consequence Of the unsettled boundary
question, and it has remained for President Tyler to
execute what previous administrations could MOI
complish. We again and again congratulate
friends on the ratification of the treaty.

If our readers are in the habit Of examining
the papers referred to; if they, like US, some
times look over Their pages with the hope-
US now almost desperate-of DENYING some 2

Gallon, and meet the disappointment the
disgust we encounter, they Will not say

The curious may speculate upon the causes
of the present utilization OF the two New FORK
editors. Ten years ago, or more, no two per-
sons were more violently abusive of each other.
"The Courier" he of the American would
only touch with longs" and the American was
examined by him of the Courier as the easiest
collection of Bilngsgate terms. If they told
the truth OF each other, than the papers have not
changed since.
II may not be impairment TO show that The
editor Of the American is entitled 10 an equal
celebrity with the rest of the triumvlrate-and
the illustrations TO prove his deserts may serve,
as diagrams in Observation-Disclosures nuths de-
monstfated.
On all occasions, where propriety allowed or
dissuaded, he has boasted that he obtained his
education al Elton, England. As we have only his
word in proof of such assertion, we consider II
conclusive evidence of its falsIty." We would
he had been educated therefor then the Tia
gea,ions he had undoubtedly received. might

tons be has, for long time, as undoubtedly de-
served.
He was in England, however, about the close
of the last war; and volunteered his services TO
show how. fiom the " eternal fitness OF things,
il was proper for English military officers to fire
upon and butcher unarmed American prison
ers He succeeded, as he hoped, TO English
admiration, and whatever may be thought OF his
love Of country, no one will doubt his enlarged
philanthropy. His services were paid with
usual English generosity, we have no doubt
I for we remember Arnold's rewards. The price
at which he rendered them, however, has never
been ascertained, as his accounts, Gil paid
were audited by British, not American, officers
| His style, without any of the vigor or sar-
casm of Swift has more than his coarseness
His satire is abusive epithets, msapplied. Hi
reasonngs begin without premise, and finish
without conclusion. He borrows others
thoughts, but applies them in his own manner
SO that there may be a seeming originality
though purchased by the sacrifice of sense. In
a noliticaI view his greatest praise is his Judi
cious fidelity to the party that supports him
the greatest misfortune of his party, is his sup
/ port.

THE CoRpoRAL's GUARD.

= An anonymous call for meeting Of the Pre-
Ndents friends appearing in one Of the PhIla-
de pha papers on "Wednesday, "the Guard"
The Express says, turned out in great strength
ion the purpose Of rebuking dsorganizers. The
meeting was eloquenlly addressed by DR.. Tho
mas Dunn English and DIR. Grund, and The FOL
lowing resolutions unanimously adopted
Resolved, That the friends of John Tyler are al
ways ready, whenever called upon to muster strong
in his support.
Resolved, That, as John Tylers " Corporals
Guard !" we are bound TO principles and
motives openly and above board, and that we 90
not feel ourselves bound to obey anonymous calls.
Resolved That consider it an insult TO the IRE
sden, to thwart his policy assal the men in whom
he reposes confidence.
Resolved, That consider the Presidents APP

torship of the port Of Philadelphia, evidence oil

AT large and enthusiastic Democratic meet
ing held few days since in Buffalo, n. Y. the
following resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed -
Resolved, That John Tyler, for twice refusing his
assent to bills incorporating National Bank and
thraldom of such institution, merits the gratitude
of all those citizens who regard the general we'll
being Of the country.
RESOLVED, That to distribute among the several State
governments, fund payable into the Treasury OF
the United States, at time when il was requisite
Immediately TO collect another by loan or the i'm
position of tax, could have served other purpose
than furnish pay and emouments, ii not more and
improper gains to hosts Of collecting, dsbursing and
loan officers We, therefore, heartily approve OF the
conduct of the President in returning, without his sig
nature the bills which contained clauses uncoDdiiion-
ally making such distribution of the proceeds OF the
public lands.

IPThe Globe, of Friday, has most furious
attack on Mr.. Spencer-an attack also designed,
we think, TO injure Mr.. Calhoun. Be that as 1t
may, it will be impotent for good or ill. We
were aware that one or two OF the Globes Ill
tras in Congress joined with Mr.. Clay's Char
lies to bark at the Secretaries but nolp, when
every other Democratic press in the country is
applauding Mi Spencer's letter, we confess
we did not think the Globe would venture 10
pursue its solitary humbug in the broad glare of
day, and with gravity which indicates belief
that it still exercises an absolute control the
Democratic press Of the country

Benton rather prides himself in the fact that he has
never visited the White House since the death OF

CHEERING.

We have intelligence, the truth Of which can
not be successfully questioned, that President
Tyler is rapidly gaining strength among the
masses in every State of the Union. Already,
in many of the States, he has as many friends
and supporters as any of the prominent leaders.
And this ball is destined to be kept in motion,
malgre the efforts of the ultra demagogues TO
the contrary Such are the fruits of his course
UPRIGHT AND INDEPENDENT He may not ex-
pect full justice from intriguing politicians, but
among the ''bone and sinew" of the country
his chances are equal, and his prospects better
than those of any Of the aspirants that vilify
him. This will be demonstrated beyond the
possibility of cavl, before many months. In
the meantime we congratulate our friends on
the accessions daily hocking 10 our standard
AS we predicted twelve months since, all the
calumnies heaped upon the President, have turn

HE NEW MA
In looking over the files of the journals received in
this country and those of England particularly
notice that opinion is generally expressed, that
the British Plenpotentiary was outwltt by our
Yankee dpomatists IN other words, that the Ame-
rcan Government ''got the best of the bargain, y
Without entering into the discussion of this point at
present. may be permitted to remark, that the
dissatisfaction expressed in the matter of the Treaty
by the people of England, who are proverbally
rcious of power and dominion Is evidence sufficient
to our own mind TO Justify the conclusion that the
late negotiation between Great Britain and the Uni
ted States Of America, resulted in a manner which
should be satisfactory to ourselves and will eventl-
ally rebound very much to the advantage of the coun
try and to the credit of those who instrumental
in bringing this veXed question to peaceful conclu
sion. Ii is, therefore, with feelings of regret and
notification, that we notice disposition in some
quarters to denounce the Treaty, and all who were
efficient in procuring its ratification by the Senate
We cannot but suppose that the votes of twothrds Of
the Democratic Senators would not have been record
ed in its favor, if the measure was obnoxious rs
some individuals would seem to believe it. We should
be slow to imagine that President Tyler, a high
souled Virginian, Mr.. Calhoun, a of Carolina
the bloody theatre Of resistance TO English oppres
sion would entertain for moment treaty which
would compromise their countrys interests or honor
and of tn remaining twelve good men and true"
Democrats who assisted IN its ratification, have
yet to learn any thing in their characters which
could tend TO the suspicion that they were actuated
IN their votes upon this question by other motives
than strict regard for the present and future well
fare of the people, whose servants they are.

ceeding. Of both Houses Of Congress; and the most
important speeches will be published at length in our
columns.
