JUSTICE TO JOHN TYLER"

II is high time friends everywhere put them
selves in perfect readiness to carry out in practice
the sentiment Of the above motto. We have long
since deemed il the duty Of every friend of the Ad-
ministaon to take his stand upon the broad platform
of its principles, and unite with other friends around
him, in an ORGANIZATION to sustain them.
The time has now arrived VIXEN such organization
is imperatively demanded, and call upon the
rieads Of old school Republcanism, as sustained and
Wind cated in the executive course of President Ty-
ler to rally around his standard organize in his be-
half, and thus create for themselves proper nfu-
ence among the friends of other Democratic candi-
dates, and cause themselves De elt aud Respected
in the National Convention, to be holden in May,
1874.
Since our refusal TO go with the ultra Bank Wings
in S4l, in their mad and reckless career the Repub-
Ii an party, through aid, has been triumphant in
nearly every State in the Union. This seems only to
have embroidered the selfish leaders Of the Van Blu
rem party OF 1870, who were thrown into minority
because Of the dsaiecton of a large portion of the
staunoh Republicans of the country from the abuses
Of Mr.. Van Burens administration, and they have no,
had he msgnanimity TO award any credit to Mr.. 1y-
Ter and his friends for any Of the Democratic victo
ries which have been won during the past year.
The friends of the President have nevertheless,
done their duty maniully, and now that they claim
his admission into the National Convention as one OF
the republican candidates, ul the liberal and
democratic basis urged by Mr.. Cahouns friends, the
whole array of Van Buren, leaders every where, re-
and contend that Mr.. Tyler is not democrat, and
not entitled to any consideration a candidate ly
the democratic party.
This state of things has now been endured quite
long enough. Mr.. 4 Ter and his public acts at
tackled in the most shameless manner by the Globe
Penn-y lyanian, Bay State Democrat, Richmond En-
quirer, and every obstacle is thrown in the way OF
his being looked upon Of the candidates whose
claims 10 be canyassed IN the National Conyen
ton IL is not in the power Of these presses the
raoid and illibera politicians who pull their wires
to prevent Mr.. Tyler from taking prominent place
in the Convention, If his friends true TO him aud
themselves, and will now prepare for the issue.
II is for this purpose that we cell upon them, h
this part Of the Union, to ORGANIZE; and the
sooner they commence the work, the better. The
friends 10 every town and county In Illinois and Mis-
souri, should appoint their town and county commit
tees whose duty ii shall be 10 correspond ith the
State Central Committee, and in this way acquain
lance and concert Of action will ensue, that cannot
fail Of having It's proper Influence upon the move
ments OF exclusive friend. Of other candidates, and
give US the desired weight in Convention.
Let not those who are friendly TO Mr.. Tyler, and
prefer him for the next Presidency, hesitate to
actively because violent enemies or luke arm friends
hold most Of the Offices through the country They
will have reason TO complain in the end that Mr.
u Ter is unmndful Of his friends when organizato
has pointed them out aud shown who are in favor o.
his Republican principles in opposition to the ultra
isms OF the two extremes Of Bank and Sub-Trea
sury
1 We say TO our friends in this quarter most cmpba
tcally that oTganisGii0n is the watch-word II !
high time TO know who are oore friends and who arr
enemies, and nothing shot Of thorough organization
will show who are for ,e and who against u.s. w,
hope the test will be made in every quarter.
! Col. Johnson's friends msnifesting the RICH
spirit and exerting themselves eecually in the busi
ness of organization. This is right. Mr.. Calhoun
friends should take the course And Dir. Va
Buren's should do likewise but we claim fair ria
from all Of them, and the proper acknowledgement
odr claims to go with our candidate into Convention
We do not propose The creation Of third party, bu
merely an expression in favor Of Mr.. Tyler as tn
one on whom we prefer to rally, and whose claim
we willing to submit TO the decision Of the Con
venlion, II roperly and fairly treated. Short O
this, we shall not be satisfied.
