Whereas, it is well known TO the American
People, that John Tyler, did always act with
THO Democracy, and filed many important
oflees in the Commonwealth of Virginia, like
wise in the National Legislature, and in the
year 1910, was elected by majority of the
people for the office of Vice President of the
United States with a full knowledge that he
was aJeffersonian Democrat, but that office not
having any immediate connexion with the exc
cutive Department of the Government, his du-
ties being defined as President of the Senate /;
paced, in that relation, he was entitled in the
event Of certain contingencies, to exercise the
office OF President of the United States, as pro-
vided for in the Constitution.
And whereas, he is constitutionally, and pro-
videntially, the President of these United
STATES, and in consideration of the course he
has pursued, in the administration of the Gov
eminent, we think it due to award to him, at
least honesty of purpose, and just regard for
The Constitution, as true Republican. And
WHEREAS, it is at this time, all important, that
the Democratic party should use every honor
able and judicious means TO unite the entire Re-
publican strength at the approaching Presiden-
tal contest, and in order to accomplish this
great and important point, II would seem neces-
sary that all should unite to award TO the seve-
raj candidates, who may be presented to the De-
mocratc National Convention, that courtesy
and respect due to them for their long and dis
tinguished services TO their common country ;
and we rest fully satisfied, that the Democratic
Convention WILL in their deliberate judgment,
make such nomination as will reconcile the
friends of all the distinguished persons present
Gu 20 them. And we are prepared to say, that
John Tyler and his friends will be the last TO
demur 10 the nomination, but will heartily unite
to give their support TO the nominee.
And whereas, John Tyler has given assn
rance that should his name be presented TO the
Democratic National Convention, in coniunc-
ton with those distinguished gentlemen now
before the people, that he will abide the deci-
sion and support the nominee.
And whereas, this meeting have the most
abiding confidence in the ability and determine
ton of the President TO maintain the Govern
ment on principles purely Republican" There
