THE PRESIDENCY-ANOT NOBLE CON-
FESSION-WHO WILL BE THE NEXT

We cory the following article with pleasure
mot that we, by any means, agree with our
Southern brother as to Mr.. Tyler's chances
we believe be will stand A. |. No. but that
1t is frank confession. Such acknowledge
ments are now pouring in upon us daily, and
the "Captain" will soon have forces enough to

That we should all have our preferences is not to
be wondered at, but ~e admit ourselves much sur
prsed and mortified that good and true Democrats
should suffer their zeal for ,heir favortes to carry
them to tue length of abuse Of other distinguished
sons of the same house, and Of those who have
covered themselves with glory in defence Of the true
faith. And candor compels US to say when this feel

viye an old family quarrel long since forgotten and
every yestge Of which is obterated in the mutual
sy,npathes and fears engendered in the bosom Of
each against the great arch enemy Of themselves

preference. But dear friends do not 20 so far to

to the cause of truth and Democracy. We have

the man, now love and honor him, according TO
our weak judgment it is but a simple act Of Justice
