The real political feeling II the country has
been wholly misunderstood BY the managers OF

at fault. None are so blind ms those who piH

have been watching their movements since The
Legislative Caucus very closely, and everything
has turned out exactly as any man, who was
willing TO be instructed by experience, might
have foreseen. Those who have set the polili-
ed as though j, was adapted to The present state
Of advancement in political knowledge--hey
have made no kind OF allowance foi any change
in the public taste since they last worked II !;
aud they begin TO find that there Is such thing
a. being behind the times, which they certainly
are most tcotuiiy.
They have rightly judged in one thing and
that is SO palpabe that they could not well mis-
calcuae--lhey have truly considered that the
great mass Of the voers OF this Union were
Democrats and that Democracy would always
triumph. They have, however, made the most
fatal mistake in supposing that they had pa
tent right 10 dictate the course the Democracy

dency.
This mistake is rendered nop most manifest
ly obvious by the recent elections in Tennessee,
North Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Delaware,
Pennsylvania, and Ohio The defeat Of 1910
was defeat of the Globe dictators, and not Of
the Democratic party and so il has already
turned out, and the future will only tend TO con
firm il more and more.
No one now prelends to doubt that Tennes-
see was lost by Identifying the old issues with
the Democratic cause; and there is almost an
equal certainty tina, The other States have inclin-
ed TO the Wings for the same reason. This is
rendered most obvious from the fact that in
New Jersey. The only State which has gone
right, the Globe dynasty was not only not men
toned, but it was distinctly under,t that
President Tyler was the Democrat TO whose
policy New Jersey was most devoted.
issue that is TO be made by the Wings of Ma
tional Bank, Land Distribution, high Tariff,
and Federal rule, President Tyler is the man to
whom il is due that his course should be sus-
tanned by the Democracy and he is the man
who must be supported or the Wings will, in all
probability, regain their power.
The People cannot understand the matter as
it is attempted 10 be forced upon them by the
would be leaders of the Democracy. The real
bone and sinew of the country, who rallied to
sustain Andrew Jackson, the hero of New Or
leans, cannot understand why the man who has
really saved US from those internal enemies who
would have fastened moneyed oigarchy upon
u, is TO be set aside and a defeated leader
brought forward who could not retain power
when in possession Of it backed by the strong
est party ever known in the land. Ii does not
appear TO them right TO say, John Tyler fought
is to be elected, and Tyler is to be cast aside.
II is not consistent with natural logic that one
man is TO do the work and another man 10 be
rewarded for il. The real issue which will
give the Democracy glorious triumph cannot
be placed before the People, connected with any
other name, in the same distinct and clear man
ner that it can wilh the name of John Tyler.
Place any Globe man before them as the next
Democratic candidate and The old feelings CT
the last campaign will revive.
The People know foil well who defeated Mr.
Clay aud tie ultra Wings in their schemes !;
and they will sssuredly fix their seal upon
measures 80 righleous-they see how every
thing has prospered under them, and will be
well content to let everything continue in
course so advantageous to the cause Of the
country and Of Democratic principles. When
the veto was placed upon The Bank and
the Distribution Bill the Democratic presses Of
the whole Union came out and gave President
Tyler the credit If breaking down the political
party, and you cannot now make the People I'M
derstand Why such measures and the man who
had the moral courage, in a righteous cause, TO
brave the party that had given him power,
should not be sustained. know this is doc
trine that is very unacceptable to certain man
worshipers, but am not afraid to place it on
record, as doctrine that must and will obtain
with the honest voters Of the Union.
When General Jackson was first brought
forward for the Presidency, the same ma
chinery was set in motion, the same pres ses
enlisted TO prevent his nomination. land Mr..
Blair was Mr. Clay's pander.-ED. MAp.1 The
result of which we all know and they are trying
the same thing with President Tyler. Nor is it
too much TO lay that, had justice been done to-
him, and The battles that have been fought in the
States, which have gone for the Wings, been
fought in his name, the issue would have been
fairly understood, and a more triumphant VIC
tory for the Democracy would have been the
result The People must know the real issue,
or they will not rally and the present issue is,
whether Mr.. Clay and The Bank are TO succeed,
or Mr.. Tyler, and the veto upon it, are TO be
upheld. | care not what NAV be thought and
