House, that MIR. Tyler, as President Of the United
States has considerable number of~friends-that
a candidate for reelection, he has no party-and
that the apparent support which only negative, that
he receives, merely bestowed to keep him separate
from those who elected him, and TO direct the uses
of his power of bestowing Office to one or other OF
the citizens Of that party which opposed his election
as Wee President-could these truths, obvious TO
calm observer, be made known and comprehended at
the White House. there might be different state of
things But they not comprehended; and, even if
knosen, position and influence seem TO encourage in
the mind OF the Executive the hope that they may go
to aid that kind of chance by which he had been
often favored. Not man in Congress expects MIR.
Tyler TO be a candidate for election in 1874. And
those who talk in that way, knor the advanta which
they may derive, by concedng at length their inhu-
cnce to some struggling faction, and transferring to
regularly formed legion their portion of corporals
guard. Too much has already been gained by treach
cry to party, not to encourage many adventures to
similar course. II is not the chief alone that de-
ceives-leaders of squadrons may profit by trans

| Could the ultra Wings only accomplish eve
ny thing they desire, they would doubtless do a
great many things, and, among others, "feather
their own nests" But they cannot do just
what they please with the President in future,
if we may judge from the pasr.
No doubt the Bolts Wings would fan per-
suade the President that he is really the silly
aud contemplate creature which their leader
calls him, and undertake TO convince him that
he has no friends among the People, "as can
didate for reelection" No doubt some of the
insincere friends of the President, who are 'stri-
wing 10 get higher" would gladly second the
kind and patronizing efforts of the Bolts W higs
and admit that the President stands ''no
chance" himself, and had better yield all his
pretensions in favor of those who elected
him." and suffer those most interested TO relieve
! him Of The burden and cares of Government
during the balance Of his term Kind and az
fectonate friendsl We thank you in the name
of the President But would il not be well foi

Mr.. Clay is old-some twenty years Older
than Mr.. Tyler-and may die soon. Would il
not be well likewise to fix upon a successor
among the contracting parties, who will be able
to unite the ultra Wing pauy7 We propose
some "good friend" who will be kind and in
dulgent TO Mr. Tyer's real friends after the alb

Well, if the matter is all finally arranged to th'
satisfaction Of the singh contracting parties,
we wish them much JOY of the bargain.
But we fear the Presidents signature to thei
/ doings is yet wanting In that event we may
have war. And if the President should TAX
