THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.


Some friend--we have not the most distant
idea who it is-has addressed letter TO the edi-
tors Of the Richmond Enquirer presenting the
claims of Mr. Tyler 10 the Democracy, and
urging him as the most available candidate for
The Democratic party in 1874. The writer
urges considerations which appear TO us of great
force, and which address themselves most
strongly TO the calm consideration of the coun-
try. To these suggestions thus calmly argued,
the editors Of the Enquirer give not The slight
est audience, but turn up their noses at the bare
suggestion talk of repairing the rrong done
by the people in 1910, and declare it to be I'M
possible for Mr.. Tyler 10 receive The nomination
of the Democratic party, and announce their
determination TO support Mr.. Van Buren,.
Now, we can say to the editors, that we are
not in the slightes, degree surprised at this their
declaration. We have known all along their

Their vocation is to elect Mr.. Van Buren, and
their plainest policy to exclude, as far as they
can, all others from competition with him. Let

Enquirer, and the same cuckoo notes will be
sounded " He can't be elected-he can't be
elected No one in the world can be elected
but Mr.. Van Buren, Now, this may be all
very true, but we cannot withhold the, remark,
that Mr.. Van Buren, had but poor way OF

---rusicated at "Lndenwold," and passed a
winter at Albany, and may have become some
what more corpulent than formerly, but we are
yet to be appraised of any recent additions TO the
stock of his popularity, or Of any new causes
operating in his favor. The editors Of the En-
quirer may, in all probability, be able TO point
them out. Perhaps the ensuing winter may
bring about happy results o the country, through
the action of his friends in Congress. They
may come forW3Td ana selle tue larln anO

As to Mr.. Tyler we can say, with peri C.
ruth, that we have never known one more per

may be made Of him by the People. Tie has
attempted in no manner TO thrust himself upon
them for their suffrages. What he has done
