DEAR SIR: see with pleasure that several of the
leading journals Of the day have hoisted the Of
JOHN TYLER a candidate for the next Presidency
and have associated with him of the most dis
tinguished names in the Democratic party for Vice
| President.
cannot but with pleasure look to these movements
in favor of. who deserves, in SO high degree
mol only the confidence, but the deep gratitude of
free and independent people. am here at the seat
of Government from the northern counties of Penn
sylvana, and it pleases me to observe that the
hot politicians at present assembled at Harrisburg can
not deny to President Tyler that respect which his
stern and unflinchng patriotism has right to claim.
Pennsylvania, doubtless, feels preference for heI
" fayorte son" and will most assuredly her first
vote in his favor; but hope the Democracy Of Penn
sytrana icH cheeJiiiy cast her roie for Mr.. TYLER,
should Mr.. Buchanan fail TO receive the support of
any other State besides his own.
The very attachment TO the person of James Blu
chanan is strong proof Of he high esteem in which
Penns vania holds the President. The similarity OF
many traits Of character between the Senator and
the President with which will prove the truth OF
my assertion there is the same private honesty and
virtue, the spolless character gentlemen and
Christians the same noble spirit of kindness and
friendship, familiar with the of Virginia and
nsyyania the same esteem and reverence for
Constitution and Of the rights Of citizens and
the same love for country and honor, not stained
with unbccoming desires for party strife, and xclu-
the fact Of such being the case and for their very
similarity Of character both gentlemen are beloved
and esteemed in Pennsylvania. But there are other
reasons and far more important ones why President
Tyler should be elevated by the people TO the place
which he now holds by the wise commands of , new
er-erring Providence.
Look 10 the course which Mr. Tyler has chosen TO
take during his long political career Has he not
been honored by the people Of that proud and un-
wavering State, Democratic Jugi'.ia, it'll all the
honors their power; has he not, on a former &C.
cason, returned 10 the hands of his fellow zens
office received by their hands, which he could not
hold without either dlsrespecng the will Of his man
dators the opinions entertained by himself IL he
not the only solitary statesman Of modern age who,
from the beginning of is political life TO the very
minute of this Lour, has dilodys thought United
States Bank unconst utisnai Has he not always
been considered as a scholar OF the JeGersonian
school, and why should re not deserve an elevation
by the People, when Providence has marked him al
ready as one who deserves such elevations
Pray, shall he be condemned for his acceptauce of
nomination by the National Harrison Convention
The manifesto Of that Convention contains a deola-
ration OF principles worthy Of Praise and imitation
And whatever the secret principles OF the leaders of
that Convention we're, John Tyler had nothing in
common with them. lie thought both political mar
ties either corrupted TO the very heart or guIed by
unprnciplcd leaders; he nsdered a change of gov
