MR.. TYLER-IN THE FIELD!
The writer of the following communication has some
misgv wings about publication OF his production
and well he might have entertained them 1t mas come
from Washngton-and the source alone excites some
suspicious OF its purity. In the second place, inns cnh
municaton to press from The pen OF one OF VIZ ~
lers friends, speaks out much palmer against Two o.
the Democratic candidates, than any piece ~hch nus
emanated from either Of their friends. But we wa've
these and other objections which press upon our h"u
We waive even the scruple about was.nS 90 'u1"
space IN our columns, upon subject winch Cd" oe P'"
ductive of no benefit 1t is sterile seed thrown upon
the barren rock: for we say it fearessly but with
due respect, Mr.. Tyler can never be selected as the
Democratic candidate by the National Convention
He can never be elected the President OF the u 3
1t is idle and out Of The question 10 think OF IT, rs
doing worse-It is enabling the parasites who may be
around him, elsewhere, to play upon his passions
abuse his good nature 10 offer incense to h's VANITY
and prey upon the patronage OF the Government In
these points Of view, the effort to hold him up as an
available candidate IS not only idle, bnt mischeVous'
Yet we will not refuse the foo,cing Euloge the use
of our columns With all his errors-wi:h his for
mer devotion to the Wing party, and the mis-
chiefs he contributed to do the Democracy in lolO-
with his signatures several of the bad measures oil
the Extra Session-with his indirect Bank charter,
elevated by the lever of the District of Columbia
and with his Exchequer schemes-with Webster, aud
Spencer, and Porter, at his beels-Mr. Tyler has
done the State service by his Veioes. tie has
headed the Wings and bafied their worst project
We willing to show our acknowledgment quoad
hoe las worthy friend Opie used to say,) by pub
fishing this nomination. We are still more willing TO
define the position in which he stands the other can
ddates and open their eyes to the real prospect OF
any cooperation with their friends. We are sui
more anxious 10 define positions 10 MIR Tyler
| oh, dnnr n The
hopes Of any support Of his election by the Democra
tic party We have space to spare this morning Tor
the structures which this nomination calls for. But
1t may be unnecessary at this time to expaate largely
upon the question We have unknd feelings Tor Mr..
Tyler-but it is due to ourselyes-t is due to the
counry-il is due TO himself TO correct the idle ilu
slons in which the carvings around him are seek :
ing to tantalize his ardent imagination we WISH
Mr.. Tyler do his duty by himself We wish HIM 10
his country for the short residue OF his term with
out thinking Of himself We wish him TO 60 into relire-
me mt with all the credit which he command But IS
only by PLAIN dealing; by telling him the truth oy advis-
ing him disabuse his mind OF all mpractcable aspla
TONS by his using the powers ofthe Government Tor the
advantage oil his country and not with the idle hope OF
assisting his purposes, that these objects can be ac-
conn shed In a word, Mr.. Tyler has but one course
10 take-,o abandon all ideas of the Presidency-to
it boldly in the face OF the wor!d-to purge MS
| Cabne:-and then he may carry useful measures aho
command any who is calculated to serve the State
1
he neither command the confidence oil Inc na'ion
nor the people, carry any honor INTO The re-
tirement to which he may be destined
We differ in almost every position winch ms aoVo
cute has taken. We consider Mr.. Tyler IN le40 as
Whic, not as Democrat. We consider Mr. Van Bu
rem as defeated by the mummeres, and msrepresenta
TONS and FRAUDS of the Wings. HIS chance Of sue
in lS44 is most cheering Even 1t Mr.. Van buren,
or Mr.. Calhoun should fail IN the nomination, Mr. Iy
Ter cannot obtain H. There many other alternative
| h. ia him
would be The very last, although he SIS IN pGocer -
And must speak the truth, however unpaialabie II
may be (but it forced upon by the communication
of his Advocate) we have not met with more than
dozen men, and most CT them his personal and de
vo ed friends, who would 60 for him the next Presi.
dent of the U. States.
But enough for the present The injury which The
Republican party and their principles received IN lS40,
must be redessed by he sober second thought OF The
people" The blow which struck at their ca
pacy for free Government, must be atoned. we
must be rghted through whose sides we were
wronged-and not through those, who contributed TO
of Mr.. Tyler, Mr.. Van Buren, may succeed, If such
be the will of the Republican party. As Cores.
pom dent of the Alexandra Gazette says:
"Mr. Van Buren, received the undivided support oil
his party in 1910. He received upwards of four hun
dred thousand votes 1910, when defeated, than
when elected in 1886. In Maine, he defeated in
1910, by few hundred majority, and in an election
few month after, the Wing vote diminished about
ten thousand. In N York, in ls4, the Wing vote was
nearly forty thousand less than in 1870 In Ohio,
in The election in lS4l the Wing vote vas reduced
thirty thousand In the large STATE of Pennsylvania,
in lS40 Mr.. V. Buren, was defeated by majority OF
ahou, hundred and seventy votes only, and IN lS4l
the Wing vote that thus defeated him, was diminished
thirty thousand. Virginia gave him IN lo4o only
about sixteen hundred majority. This Springs cleo
ton shows a majority of nearly FIVE thousand; and
twelve members Of Congress on, of fifteen and 1t is
believed, of all the members of Congress elected to
the next session. there are not twenty Wings THESE
are the assurances upon which the friends OF Mr. V.
Buren, RELY, for his re- eecton.
We repeat that we have wish, unnecessarily, TO
wound The feelings of Mr.. Tyler. But under the cir.
cums,ances in which one of his friends places US, we
must honestly speak the truth We have no idea that
he can be elected We almost tempted 10 say, with
Mr. Riyes of the Globe office, in his late correspond
ence with the Editor of the Madisonan, lin which We
must saw Mr. John Jones shows much good temper,
and SO much good feeling,) he has so little upon
any party "bat he could not be elected President,
every spaper in the United States should support
him."
COMMUNICATED
Whetier Mr. Tgier be not the ony Man ,cho can lead
the Democracy oietory in The Presidential Election
of 1874?
The success of the Democracy at the next Pres
dental election Messrs Editors, ought to be, if be
not, the primary object OF every Republican in the
country Presuming, therefore, that is propose to
discuss in spirit Of moderation, the question above
propounded for the calm consideration of our brethren
generally
That very large majority of the voters of the u
States are Democrats in prnc pie and in practice, no
man can doubt for moment They believe in the
power of man to govern hlmsef in opposition to the
doctrine Of the Aristocrats, that man is incapable of
sef.governnent This is the great dividing line be-
tween the parties of the many and the few. How,
then ha ppens it. that the Aristocracy have sometimes
got into power in the Government! tits true this has
happened but twice in the history Of the country -
But how it to take place, even then? Maniisstly
by the division of opnion in the Democratic ranks
upon men, and not upon principles.
] am not one of those Democrats who regard the
elevation of Harrison and Tyler to power, as triumph
of the Aris.ocrac party the Democratic party
1t victory Of portion of the great Democratic
various causes and who were supported by the Ars
,ocat. or Wings, with the hope, that if they could
once get into power connection with their new allies
they could succeed, at the next election, IN bestow'ng
