THE PRESIDENCY.
Postmaster General

mere Is no position, IN OPINION, clearer than
that candidate Of the Democratic party can be
elected President of the United States against the
will of President Tyler and his friends. Whoever
shall be the Presidential candidate will want all the
votes that MIR. Van Buren, had in 1910, and many
more the candidate will require the whole vote Of
the party II is right that this matter should be look
ed TO in advance. 1t is true, We told, that the
gentlemen who are pushing Messrs. Van Buren,, Blu
chanan, Calhoun, Johnson, and Cass that they can
certainly carry. II they should poll no more votes
than Mr.. Van Buren, did in IS40, we would not think
their success certain In opinion, IL We ud be
up hill work. the whole way, TO attempt TO elect
candidate not warmly supported by the President and
his friends all over the Union Ii Is our judgment that
Mr.. Tyler ough, TO be the Dem, cratic candidate ia
1874.
Without, stopping 10 cast any difficulties in the way
Of the other gentlemen named by the Democracy, II
seems 10 US TO be act Of great injustice TO pass by
tie present incumbent, who recently lifted the
Democracy up to It's present prosperous condition
The party, prior TO the vetoes Of President Tyler
was sunk beneath the iuggcrnaut wheels Of the
Whigs. lie, however, raised it, as if by a magic
wand. Indeed, he acted the part Of the true mag-
cian, and II IS now proposed that he should head the
party IN the coming contest for the Presidcncy-
Surely, one who raised it from the and clay in
which II was stalled, ought in all justice 10 be permit
ted TO lead II on to victory.
What other mode is there of doing Mr.. Tyler JUS
tice We know Of none. Distinguished as the other
candidates are, there is one who can claim to
have done so much, 10y bravery and heroi'm I'M
surpassed Tor the party, President Tyler Not one
of the other candidates vetoed United States Bank
In this particular, General jackson and Prcsiie
| Tyler, stand on the same level And as the Demo
craoy nrarded reelection 10 General Jackson for III,
Veo ought they not now to make the same award in
/ the shape OF denomination TO President Tyler;
There IS another reason why the nomination should
not be given TO any other candidate and that is that
the nominee Of the Democratic National Conver-
ton will run upon "the Bank or no Bank question -
/ il inst he no 81
4 Tins momenous issue lie raised II, and the Wings
denounced him for it. Why should he not be put be
fore Tie people on LIS his question. Justice de-
mands that he who should gather in the harvest
No one should be ermitled TO wear Mr. Tyler's robe,
Of hiun ph, wh,n Mr.. Tyler is able TO wear them so
VIGOROUSLY through the coming Presidents contest
himself HIS distinguished competitors are all known
and well esteemed IN their immediate neghborLood but
meme OF Them have that universal popularity among
the people that President Ty er has.
Nor this matter Of mere assertion for the proof
is at hand We all remember, that when the present
Chief Magistrate OF the nation sent his objections
against the Clay Bank bills 10 Congress, with what
hearty applause his yetoes greeted by the De
mocracy all over the country. 1t was not here and
there mat the huzzas OF the party were heard but
! everywhere, on the highways and byways. on the
lakes and rivers, in the cities, towns and hamlets-
In every nook and corner Of the Republic cheers ia
| Tyler and his yetces were heard. Thus we see hi,
popularity with the party has been everywhere tested
the enthusiastic appreciation of the people In Sc
lccting candIdot, for the Presidency ii is matter
OF the deepest concern that should name one that
IS well known TO the people, and about whom there
can be no doubt as to his popularity with the Demo
cratic family Of the Republic.
In our judgment, President Tyler is that man. and
VIC base opinion upon the universal thanks sent an
TO him by the Democracy in every part Of the Con
lederacy when he destroyed the Bank schemes of the
Wings by snnhilating them, with his veto thundcr4
bolt which he Constitution judiciously vested in
the Chief Magistrate Of the nation
man runs best for public station with the peo
| pie, whose deeds are emneptly conspicuous, thai
they stand out In bold reli upon the popular mind
Thus, II II be asked, what has President Tyler done
TO cntile him TO nomination TO the Presidency,
have the same ready answer that was given wher
General Jackson run a second time, viz f" He vetoed
the United States Bank, - and this deed is not know
to lew, but To every man, woman aud child IN o.,
| nation. General Jackson was reelected Triumphant
| y upon his veto, and the Democratic rank and file
are anxiousy waiting 10 render the same Justice tc
John Tyler.
