MAJOR NoAH-ANoTHER CHANGE We under
stand from good authority, that Major Noah has
thrown up the Tyler party, and has now come out
for Martin Van Buren,.
The Major has returned to his first love-Van
B.ren and democracy, after having taken very
amusing voyage round the world of politics, on
which he is writing interesting book, He is
pretty savage upon Captain Tyler, and with
some reason too. 1t seems that at the solicitation
of the Captain, during visit made by the Major to
Washington, about year ago, he was induced TO
give up his Judseshp worth $1,000 a year,
in order to organize the Tyler party land start Tyler
paper. After expanding great deal of Ia and
losing 100 pounds of fat in the heal of the fight,
Captain Tyler has left the Major in the urch-neg-
lected his advce-and given him nothing in return.
The Major advised the Captain to remove Daniel
Webster TO re-organize his cabinet, TO call Silas
Wright TO be his chief advser-and infuse a
large dose of " old democracy into the Custom
House and Post Office. The Captain here pro-
nised-but has failed to perform, besides leaving
the Major high and dry-osing his Office as Judge,
and getting nothing in return.
Now all this is very naughty in Captain Tyler,
and In consequence thereof, Major Noah is tired of
Tyersm, and has returned to his first love- Van
Buren, and democracy-at least, he says Van Buren,
is the only that has any chance TO be next
President Seriously, however, we certainly think
that Captain Tyler has treated Majsr Noah rather
cavalierly, but during the next tw years expect
the Captain may reform and redeem his promises
