JOHN TYLER-TIIE PROBABILITIES OF Ills
TRIUMPHANT SUCCESS SHOULD HE BIZ
THE NOMINEE OF TIE DEMOCRATIC
NATIONAL CONVENTION.


Last week we expressed the opinion that John Ty,
Ter could be- and rossfd be, triumphantly elected II
he 10 receive the nomination OF The Nauohai
Cony nton. We now propose To assign,-neeessari
y very brieny,-a very few OF the reasons upon
which that opinion Is predieated
II would, indeed, be quite sufficient for our Pur-
pose,so far as the action OF sensible ard unplasseu
minds concerned Ito state the fact that nineteen
twentiehs of the opposition TO MIR Tyler, emsna'hg
from the Democratic press, and Democratic orators
and statesmen, does not arise from honorable can
yass Of his Executive course, or far Investigation
OF his abilities, merits and claims IL arises from the
fact that he has not been regarded for Jeio years
past as one Of the leaders of the Democratic party,
that he run on the Wing ticket in 1910, and be-
cause a preconceved opinion has affirmed that he
" i'll not be the candidate. We repeat The opposlioh
10 Mr. Tyler among portion OF the Democratic pa,
iy has arisen from these reasons, associated ihdeeu,
with ambition, pride, exclusiveness and seiisfness III
the breasts OF those who urge them. II IS PLAIN
therefore, that the nomination OF Mr.. Tyler Dy the
Democratic National Convention, would aDnihiiale
these reasons,-leaying nothing tangible or fau 10
urge against him, and at once the whole Democratic
party, including those who now oppose nm ue
strongest would come to his hearty and cheerful sup
port.
II is perception Of the foregoing facts, together
with the assurance that very many, even now, see
and appreciate them,-more than any her that IN
duces the strenuous opposition OF The Globe and lew
other Democratic prints. Thus we have explained
the mystery Of Blair's opposition TO the admission oil
Tylers into the National Convention, whilst 1t,
the time harps about the Presidents destiiu-
ton Of friends Thus too, do account for the
hazardous course pursued by the prints in abus
ing and apparently lahoring to drive oil, the Presi
dent and his friends, at crisis when the Democratic
party needs all the support and all the votes which IL
can possibly command
We have said that the chief opposition to the nom
nation Of Mr. Tyler did not arise from any degree Of
federalism O. imputed TO him, from mal-admnis-
truton Of the Government We have neither time
space to point 10 the ten thousand evidences IN
support Of this position, and will, therefore, content
ourself, for the PRESENT by pointing TO the wholesale
aud numerous eiOgies and unequiyocal endorsements
which filled the columns of every Democratic paper
| from the death Of Gen Harrison up to ten months
ago. when the GLbe and its willing echoes found out
that The Republican friends Of the President contemplated
using his in connection nth The candidacy for the
Presidency ia 1874 Nay, more, point, TOO, 10 the
letters II VAN buren, aud JAcKsoE and ISGEGsoLL and
hosts # others! We point TO The speeches and roles Of
honorable Republican Senators and Representatives. We
point public meetings Of the Peope-to the action Of
ID moeaie State LfgistaureS-to Jonfrts, iLiuninaons
and The roar Of cannon All these evidences, which
exist in great abundance, and which cannot be re-
rsted will be cncusire to every sensible and reason
| able mind.
Again II is evident that Mr. Tylers star is rising
with rapidly unsurpassed by that Of any other
didate IN the field; and with the opportunities which
few months will afford him of speaking the Ian
guage, commenting the principles and urging the
country il is fair TO presume that, that star will ap-
pear "a bright particular one rising in the asccn-
dent.
1t is also fair 10 assert-though in doing we do
not wish 10 dsparase the claims, or withhold that
Difference due 10 other asprdnts-that Mr. 1ylers
principles, acts and AS PURE and RE-
PUBLICAN are those OF either Of his competitor
that his rhoie lie has been consistent and Dmo-
cratic that his present position so far as doctrines or
measures concerned will vie with that Of either
| and ,N.c{i. II
lose in a comparison with either.
And we have hesitation IN affirming that the
Democratic party John Tyler deut of gratitude
not surpassed If equallcd, by that due any other can
ddate before the country In placing the people I'M
der this debt OF gratitude too, Mr. Tyler established
undying claim TO the honor respect, defence and
admiration of the hole land! Where is the honest
opponent of Henry Clay, Of National Bank a
! High Tariff, the Distribution of the Proceeds of the
Public Domain, or the Assumption Of State Debts,
who withhold his honor and gratitude from the
President! Where IS tLere who does not admire
the courage nerve hrmpcss and self possession which
wrote NETo three several times al the several periods
when John Tyler penncd that word No where !
1t follows, them that men would be drawn the sup
port OF Mr. Tyler from the highest and nobsi of mo
lives and that even the hypocrtieal-whose patriot
ism consists in their adherng 10 party nominations
would be forced into bs service for conSe cu sake
Mr.. Tyler could command the vote Of States that
| no other democratic candidate could command This
arises from multitude OF causes. Events which
have been transpring since Mr.. Tyler has filled the
Office of President render il quite certain that he
could carry the States Of Massachusetts, Louisiana
New Jersey, Rhode Island, Georgia, Tennessee, Ma
! ryland, &c, &c. Few men believe that Mr.. Van
Buren, could carry either OF these States. And we
cannot doubt but that Mr.. Tyler would carry every
other State in the Union that Mr. Van Durtn could
cany thus giving the former decided advantage
over the latter.
Finally, Mr. Tyler would command thousands Of
votes scattered all over the Union, from those who
are too tired Of high party spiri, and high excite
meut-too tired of ops dorenS and "chaqges;n and
who are well satisfied with things as they are and
promise TO be, to vote FOR Nlr. Van Buren, Probably
strof ger oonserroirt feeling never existed in this
country than at this NOR 'nt. We think, also, that
we hazard nothing in ssyiug that John TYLER has a
greltrr number Il friends among our adopted fellow
citizens-cspccsl'y among tie lrish-than any other
man living Associated with these reasons in behalf
Of the availability Of Mr. Tyler, the tremendous pat
ronage, power aud influence OF the General Govern
mcnt which always has had and always will have IL.
weight; and also, the large and enthusiastic meet.
ngs which are being held 81 over the United States
favorable TO him.
1t is folly Cor any man who may read the reasons
which We have thus hastily assigned in support Of
the declaration made by US last week to viii that
Tyler would be trumphsnily elected il nominated by
tie National ConyentoD-to repeat that "Nr. TgisI
hos friends ~ We receiyc about forty exchange
papers per week which have expressed their choice
OF candidates for the next Presidency fneen or tren
, ~ Of this number in favor Of the nomination
OF Mr.. TYLERl The balance are divided be
tween Cas-, Johnson, Calhoun Van Buren, aud Blu
] chanan. Many Of these papers which declared fol
Tyler, started from the raw within the year las
past, as Tyler papers avowedy so, and they have al
acquired very wide circulatous and arc now pcrma
B, nenty established and we'll supported. DO tho.,
facts support the position that MIR. Tyler has M
friends |" II any who oppose MIR. Tyler's nomina
ton really think so, we hope they will lose no tim
Y in multiplying these eydences!'
