From the N. O. Republican,

In advocating the good cause Of President Ty err 5
admnis ration, we may be obnoxious 10 ensure for
measuaby negleciing to avail ourselves of the strong
proofs dolly furnished us of b hold upon the good
opinions of the people, and hi, growing popularity
among them. Ha .dIy day elapses tina, does mo-,
bring us the proceedings of meetings from one quar-
lei another of the country, which sanction his past
political course, and offer him the rewards of present
confidence and future support The extent to which
these proceedings generally g., when Considered with
reference limited space for political matters re-
luctanlly confines us to a brief notice of them We
sincerely wish it was within means to lay them
fully b' fore readers they appear. They would
demonstrate but that amid all the hostility which
John Tyler had 10 contend with not merely from
The Wings from the adherents of most of the other
Democratic candidates for The Presidency he is p o.
crossing In the favor and affections Of those who
above the influence of pry leaders and party disci
line-the honest, right-ihlnking people OF the
try Strong in their Intelligence their love for truth
and their Independence, they heed nothing but The
dictates of generous sentiments in according merit
where merit is due, and esp cal do thy disregard
the circumstances of those who would sacrifice every
thng-pnnciple, truth-yea, even coun ~ itself to
subs,rve the mercenary purposes. While the Co =
rur and unprincipled junto who have rul the pu,
ca desinies OF New lork for years-lhe Albany Re-
gcncy-denuuncc he administration in erms which
bear their face the evidence Of their fasehoOd
and ice, it cheering 10 turn to he proceedings
had at he admin traton meetings recently held
Ohio Indiana, and New York and par icularly to
those in Licking county, OLio,, and in Cine mai
In the one we developed the insidi labors OF
designing cabas, whose highes, asp alton to enjoy
the profits ofpubc siation and who do uple 10
lumniate, when calumny may their purpose.
On the ther hand behold the honest avowal of re-
gard for worth, and the generous oi of support and
cJrfitencc, made by hose who have no purposes to
subserve but the defence of right, aud the good of
their country. l., the race of trading politicians con-
tlnue to denoUnce President Tyler we would have
them do so. The dirty motives which aciuaIe them
cannot much lon er remain concealed from the
unobservant of our people f., need be Informed of
the great results which have b,en pro luced by sp
r o persecution, similar 10 that directed ainst
the President Were il moi f,r this Mr. Van Buren,
human probability, would never have attained
that high station TO which b fiends seek again TO
e Nate him by calumnlIting he charac rs and tramp
Ing tie claims of better men. The good which will
cnure TO the President from the abuse and injustice
and ingrati ucc he has experienced, well from
those who his enemies as rom those who should
be his friends, will only be cquaeJ by hat sprnging
from more extended know ledge of his high charac-
ter as De nocrot and statesman and f ON the wis
dom and 'igor which has dis ingulshed bis admins
