- with snother-ANY oTHER--new Democratic

certainty"
" But our opponents had fully succeeded every
where in identify our candidate with all the
and principles practised aud held BY falsely
ascribed to, Mr.. Van Buren,. All the old issues Of
the contest Of 1910 were sill fresh in the minds of
our people, and revived in the race Of lS43 in
the fullest force. They not less operative in
the late than in the carousas of the hardci-

sentiment here from Federal Representations Of

PEELED by the terms of agreement with their federal
partners to exert their supposed influence to the de-
riment OF the democracy Such supposItion TO
many may seem unreasonabe-but we ask all such
to look at the facts Of the case-to scan the present
and past course of that paper and then say whether
the inference is altogether groundless We, too,
have had our minor differences, but anxious for the
predominancy of true principles, we have RETAINED

PHILADELPHIA, October Oh

PHILADELPHIA, October 9th, lS43.
DEAR Sir: The dinner given recently at this
place to ROBERT TYLER, Esq. was all that .i-
Their he or his friends could have desired. About
three hundred of his warm admirers SAT- down
at five O'Clock, on Thursday last TO as sumplu-
Gus an entertainment asI have ever seen. The
toasts were excellent, read well, and warmly
cheered. Mr.. Tyler being introduced by Alder
man Binns TO the assembly, delivered one Of
the most eloquent speeches that have eyer
heard think | am something of Judge of
public speaking, having heard nearly all the dis
tnguished men in the nation, from the lime of
Randolph down to the presentday. And in view
of all that have heard, think may say that
he has few, if any superiors in his line Of speak
ing. Virginia may well be proud of this young
son of hers.
Wherever he may go, wherever he may
| speak, his native State may be sure that she
will have in him an able advocate. In the
Northern and Middle States, we have some
most accomplished speakers. But | trust we
shall never cling SO strongly 10 our own orators,
as to refuse TO do am lie justice 10 those that
come from the South.
Mr.. Tyler was educated in masters school /.
His fathers style OF eloquence is of that order
that ever wins its way with The People, and that
has kept him continually in the front ranks of
Virginia's great men. The is noble rep
representative Of The President and could his
father have heard him la night, calling down
by his eoquence the thund ring applause Of the
whole assembly, he would, like the father of
| Patrick Henry, have burst into food OF tears,
and deemed that night The happiest one in his
! whole existence. Whatever Others may think
or say, know him 10 be the very Atlas of his
! fathers Administration. He has thou .ands of
| friends all over the Union, bound 10 him by ties
that are stronger than hooks Of steel. They
are ties that bind treemen TO Jreemen by holy
sympathy Of feeling. r3s 90 s.

BE TR UE-BE FIRM.

The friends of Mr.. Tyler have no cause
whatever 10 despond for their position, at this
junclure, is justly regarded by all rejecting
men as an extremely advantageous one and
come what may hereafter, this Administration
has air, ady accomplished more good for the
country than any other ever did in the same
length of time. Therefore the friends of Presi-
dent Tyler, if there be any justice in the brea- rs
Of the People, will see the day when they viii
be triumphantly sustained.
be Baltimore Patriot may heap vulgar cpl
thets on the President to its hearts content but
it may be well assured that the People will not
be satisfied with mere vulgar eplhels. To Gre
ate or maintain prejudice against the Chief
Magistrate something more than empty exple-
uves will be necessary. Bad motives and bad
acts must be cited to satisfy the People that the
P. esident is unworthy to discharge the Execu-
tive functions. And this cannot be done, be-
cause every interest in The country (save that OF
the bood-sucking s,ock-j bber) has been pro-
made by The Bank Federalists against the Pre-
sident, are destined TO vanish in thin air-for
Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again.
Therefore we are impressed with the convic-
tion-and we would impress il on ohers-,hat
the friends Of Mr.. Tyler have never had better
to be Of good cheer than at The present
moment They have only TO be TRUE and
FIRM 10 win the cause now being tried before the
People. The People will surely render
righteous verdict and, be The faithful band few
many, let them look their accusers full in the
face, supported by consciousness of rcctude
If their cause be just, they will prevail, not
wihslanding all the abuse heaped upon them
therefore let them determine that it shall be
just.
The friends of the Administration occupy
high and strong central position, while the con-
tending factions are struggling all around them in
the plain. Thousands and tens OF thousands Of
the combatants are rallying in the centre under
the old Republican flag. Then, rather than run
the risk of doing mischief TO friend as well as
foe, as may have been he case IN one or two
preciptate sorties, we are inclined TO believe
that the most prudent course will be for the
friends of the Administration 10 seek recruits
by kind words and friendly acts from all quar-
tiers, instead of firing indiscriminately on the
contending factions
Let them watch the course OF events, and re-
serve their FIRE for the common enemy. If any
man, who has enrolled his name among the
friends Of John Tyler, is doubtful Of success or
fant-hearted, give him passport and let him
go. If any one be found insincere in his pro-
LESSONS, let him be drummed out of the camp.
The position, alone, occupied by the friends OF
the Admins ration, is equal, at this crisis, to a
half million votes. And it will be ascertained
that he who overthrow the Bank is the most
proper chief TO overthrow the Bank candidate

he question Of indeed, for year past, it has been
question in The mind of any having eyes and
ears whether the British Government had made il a
point, in negotiations with Texas to compel negro
emancipation in that Republic, may now, we sup
pose, be considered settled. The British Minister of
Foreign Affairs, in his place in Parliament admits
the fact, and Lord Brougham betrays the motive
This motive, 10 quote from Lord b.. is that through
Texas, the Southern States may be operated on and
slavery also extnguished in them. The distnctness
and boldness OF these announcements indicate that
the plot is nearly ripe for deneument 1t is not in
accordance with the craft of British politicians TO
avow their designs with regard TO other nations until
they have them III train to feel pretty certain OF
their accomplishment Now tina. the admission is
early made therefore, after long time Of equi-
vocation, that Texas has been approached with pro-
posais of the kind alluded o,-notw outstanding Lord
Aberd declined to stale exactly the stage to which
the negotiations had arriyel-we need not be sur.

But, whatever may be the present state of the ne

for the British Minister, we are not left at all in the
dark the ultimate designs and intentions Of Britain
We assured that all the appliances of coercion
and persuasion that the English Cabinet enlist

to follow up their present advantages in Texas, with
a view to the destruction of the markets Of Geor-
gia the Carolinss and Virginia" and of ultimate y
exiingushDg slavery throughout the whole of Anne

The Southern States now therefore, know what
ground they stand upon, and have no longer to ACT
upon uncertain information vague surmises, MOI
against intangible enemy The avowed enemy
and the palpable danger before them; and they
will take steps accordingly. Can there be two opni

NAPOLEON AND BYRON.

1t is Macaulay, we believe, who speaks of the fact
that two Of the greatest if not the two greatest men
of the nineteenth century, Napoleon and Byron had
achieved their glory and lain down to rest at an age
when other men are just beginning to discover their
powers. The remark was brought strongly to mind
by reading the following record Of events the life
of Napoleon, which is to be ascribed on his tomb be-
meath the gttering dome of the lnvalides:

Gated the throne after the battle of Waterloo June
