The New York Messenger,-Judge
Noah's paper continues to urge MIR. Ty-
Ter to withdraw himself as a candidate
for the Presidency. We quote the fol-
lowing article on the subject from the
Messenger of the 22d inst:
Some very true and sincere friends of
Mr.. Tyler are dispieascd a, our recon-
mendng him TO withdraw as a candidate
for the Presidency. 1t may be singular,
but il is no less true, that his withdrawal
by no means weakens bis ultimate chance
of success. 1.-The remains candidate,
both parties in Congress will assail his
measures with violence, charge every
proposition to be an electioneeIing trick
denounce il not aitemp, 10 Impeach him !;
his nom nations will be rejected, and all
the good he proposes for the country, will
be considered as m re plans for his own
advancement. 1t will be a fierce, agita.
ting, uncompromis'ng session, and the
President will be left with but single
friend to sustain him. On the contrary,
if he retres from the contest, both par
ties will treat him kindly, cordial V, cour-
fapnclv will fnl MI
his measures, and protecting his friends.
II, when the perioi arrives, there should
be division and dscord in toe convention,
Mr.. Tyler is in calm strong position to
be taken up asihe compromise candidate.
AT present he has no hope, and he is be.
trayed by those in whom he most reposed
and who are using him for the most sci.
fish and ambitious purposes. Let me
here notice only two events in corrobora.
ton of this fact.
A few persons in this city, VIGOROUSLY
without moral and political influence,
agreed to visit Washington, assuming to
themselves the character of special com.
mittoe from the Democratic party. On
their arrival they wore received as such
by Mr.. Spencer, and they represented to
the President, that the only obstacle which
prevented his being unanimously taken
up as the Democratic cand date, was the
continuation Of Mr.. Webster in the Cabi-
net, that if he was removed or would re-.
sign, mass meeting Of 10000 people
would assemble in the Park, and by &C.
clamaiion, nominate Mr.. Tyler, and fire
100 guns on the occasion.
Mr. Webster, unwilling TO interp1se
any political obstacles to the advance.
ment ol Mr.. Tyler's interest, withdrew
from the Cabinets but no mass meeting
followed, and no hundred guns, were fir.
ed. 1t was FRAUDULENT pretonce through
out, and Mr.. Spenc er knew it to be such.
The Democratic party mnde no such
entertained no such ihten.
tons towards Mr.. Tyler, and were indif-
lerent whether Mr.. Webster remained in
the Cabinet or retired; if any thing, they
believed that his eminent talents added
force and responsibility to the Cabinet
However, he left, and that was the great
object to be attained by Spencer. The
other was more contemplate fraud on
smaller scale. IT will be recollec;ed that
a number of the Democratic Review had
a biography and portrait of the Presi-
dent. This was represented to Mr.. Ty-
Ter as spontaneous compliment to his
character and pretensons by the Demo
cratic party through their favofid organ,
and was a most suspicious sign brought
about by his conservative friends, when
the fact is, those very friends paid for
the engraving, and wrote the biogra.
ply themselves, and managed to get it
struggled into the Review. How many
they received for this piece
of jugglery, | cannot say--but they OBJ
tanned some Offices and considerable in
Huerce. While, therefore, the President
remains a candidate, he will be stripped
of his patronage, cheated and de(rauded
by such men, and will keep the country
in state Of continual excitement. Once
retired from the field all will be calm and
prosperous with him.
