We did think that the success OF the whole
of the Democratic ticket in this county was be
yond doubt. But we have been deceived
MIR. Maxcy and Mr.. Chairs are beaten by tive
or three votes Our ticket fought under Ia"
broad banner Of Democracy, and that OF our op
ponents under Clay Whigism. The " h'g ora
tors, Messrs. Johnson, Gamer, and Worlhlns
ton, denounced MI Tyler aud those who coop
rate with him in the administration OF 'he GU
vernment, at every meeting and upon all o'o'
ions, with all The virulence OF which they were
capable. and strange TO tell, AT nevertheless
certainly true, some of the offiee7holders Ia this
city, under Mr.. Tyler's Administration VINO
profess TO belong to his party, and would nav.
us believe they would do every thing they could
TO sustain his Administration, and establish him
in the confidence of the People, not only voted
openly for the Clay Wing ticket on Wednes-
day last, but we have every reason TO believe
secretly used the influence of their office to de-
feat our ticket.
We candidly confess Mr. Tyler is not our la
vorite for the Presidency. We have, however,
seen much in his Administration 10 admire, and
we believe we would do injury 10 the inslilu-
lions Of our country if we did not admit IT, But
whilst we are free 10 confess that MIR. Tyler Is
not our favorte if the Democratic National Con
vention shall determine to place his name before
the Democracy Of the country, we VIII do oui
utmost TO elect him. Mr.. Tyler has given the
h.aa.;nan t,s,iiie strong nr0ui nf his honesty
and his desire to administer the Government
| IT. ~,
ciples Of the Constitution. We believe the
feeling we have here expressed pervades The
Democratic party in This city and IN the county,
and we are at loss to conceive how any honest
man can hold office under Mr.. Tyler's Admins,
traton, and at The same time vote for men who
are continually denouncing him.
Some of the office holders alluded to have
been abusing the President ever since the vctoes.

OUR PHILADELPHIA CORRESPONDENT.

The letter signed &C" giving very ex-
travagant account Of the complimentary dinner
to Mr. Robert Tyler, was inserted in the Madi-
sonian without being read by the editor. It
was supposed to be correct report Of the pro-
.ceedings on the occasion, and was sent to the
printer without being carefully perused. Had
the editor seen any Of the silly remarks il con-
tanned, it would have been rejected. The ex-
travagant expressions alluded TO, we are sure,
will also meet the prompt and decided disap-
probation Of Mr. Robert Tyler himself
We have preserved the MS. of the letter, on
which casual pencil mark betrays the author,
as well as the one who copied it and we should
like to be informed whether il was the honest
impulse of the writer which led him to make
use Of the indiscreet remaIks referred 70.

From Lie H.rrisI!ugh (Pa.) Signal.

We perceive that the ultra press, led of by the
Washington Globe still continue their assaults mon
President Tyler. We had thought that those jour
mails would ere this have seen the suicidal results
which such a course must ultimately produce No
man m the nation has contributed more TO the adj
yancement of republican principles than John Tyler
This assertion we stand prepared 10 prove TO the sat
sfacon of every unprecedented mind If contradicted
Why 1t is that the Globe should persist in its unver
sally condemned course, we cannot divine, unless it
has some prirate object in view. The policy of every
Republican journal should be to sustain Mr. Tyler in
his defence of Jeiiersonian principles. Ii is enough
for the Fedoraliss (whose measures he has alb
ured,) to wage war against him. II is yet conso-
aion TO know, that the Of the Globe is every
here condemned by the honest Democracy. The
Peopie-thc Democratic yeomdnry-are with the Pre-
sident, and they will do him JUSTICE, despite the ef-
forts of such demagogues as r. p Blair to underrac
his claims upon the Republican party for support.

THE GLOBE AND THE MADlSONlAN.
Before the .Iadisonian commenced its exposure Of
the shameful dupliclty of the Gio in relation The
nresent Republican Administrator we had frequent
~ expressed astonishment thai MIR Blair, after
ayishing for period of twelve monhs every manner
of compliment upon the President liz his Democra-
tic conduct in upholding the Will oil the people, (as
clearly manifested OF late IN the hcent elections
throughout the union,) by his vetoes Of the Bank
and Distribution bills passed by iacious Fedora
Congress should have suddenly changedtis tone ipto
the masi rancorous abuse, based precisely upon the
same grounds as in the first instance his Compliments
occupied. Although we had been accustos,ed TO lis
ten it'll great Difference TO the voice of t,e Globe
having ourselves always belonged TO the psmocr.tlc
party, il seemed TO that Blair, in tbs Instance,
was guilty of too much unlarness and npsice. We
could not Imagine what reasons he had for rapid
change, or for deny ing the true ORTHODOXY OF MIR.
Tyler. II seemed TO US unaceountable Culd II be
the desire for the public printing assigrd by Mr.
Jones; la our opinion, this not sufficiently
weighty TO have prompted reckless 4 ourse.-
Was it because Democrats the alpat exclu-
elusive recipients Of public Office Thisshuld have
called forth from Mr.. Blair additional compliments.
Did il proceed from the fact that the Florldawnr had
been terminated by that most excellent determination
of the Executive, to try the effect Of sumner cam
pagn, and to destroy the crops Of the Indians and
thus to force surrender Here was an adj OF Wis
dom and patriotism which MIR. Blair could not cen
sure without folly Was il TO be found in he settle
ment ana payment OF The claims oil Our citlZens
against Mexico, which had been delayed twenty
years Here every man, woman, and child in the
country appauded the President. Did it arise from
the formation of the treaty of Wn-hngtn, which
had bafled the efforts of every previous amnistra-
tom For this almost every Democrat in the Senate
voted Could il have proceeded from the adjustment
Of our Indian affairs and the requirement of ex-
tensye territory to the Vest OF this all approved.
Or did Mr.. Blair base his objection to and sudden
abuse OF, the President, upon the present admirable
condition Of our exchanges In our atonishmcut,
we asked oursef all these questions, bu could find
a satisfactory solution in none, and W, had nearly
come to the conclusion that Mr.. Blair vas demented,
when the following satisfactory solution Of the mys
terry was presented TO US by highly respected cor.
respondent The facts which he states +" true be-
You'd DOUBT" and the differences which he draws
from those facts, plainly admissible. L.
