NIX. JoNEs-
The Legislature of this Commonwealth is, as your
readers aware in session The election OF Nor
Governor and of an all but entire Democratic
Senate, were owing not so much to the personal
popularity of the candidates themselves to the at
tempt 10 make strength for Henry Clay by uniting
his interest and advancement with that of Gov. Da-
Wis. They believed that with Clay and Davis upon
the ticket the State for each-thus
identifying the defeat of the with that
of the other Mr.. Webster warned the Wings of
Ma sachusetts against such course, but their reck-
less leaders, instead Of abiding by the sound advice Of
one every way competent to advise, chose a differ
ent course-and the result has been he predicted
it would be, if they attempted to identify the Wing
party of this State with that Of Mr.. Clay-an entire
prostration Of their party II madness, united with
naughty arrogance, had not actuated the leaders Of
their party hereif they had listened to and abided
by the advice of Others more competent than them
selves TO udgeif they had but listened to the warn
ing voice of such men Webster and Cushing-f
in the zeal and madness of party, they had but
listened to reason inslea of joining the wild effort,
of such tools Bolts in their mad TO head
of the purest and best men that ever filled the Exc
cutive chair, bow different would have been the re-
suit In this result another proof is added Of the
truth of Il old Latin proverb--
"Quene deus vult perdere-primus dementat."
have seen much of the prominent men in the pre-
sent Legislature. With the private opinions of many
have become well acquainted--and am happy to
know that all those whose judgment, influence, and
sound discretion, are worth fig, invariably well

are those here thank God, who have enough oil pa
triotism TO declare openly and unreseryedly their
hatred to the Locotoco doctrines of Tom Benton and
his mouth piece the Globe.
By Loco toco do not mean Democratic, but Agra
rian Observation-Disclosures which, if once carried out
will PROSTATE the fair fabric of our Government.
The measures of the Executive daily gaining
new favor. The People are determined no longer
TO be governed by their servants either or out of
Congress-by the protested politicians and would-be
dictators. Thank God the time has come when!ho-
nest motives, patriotic efforts and unbending integ
rity is properly appreciated; and if the were
taken to-day between Mr.. Tyler and any other candi-
date now before the People, my opinion is that Mr..
Tyler would receive two-thirds of the votes of this
State This opinion is sustained by Others more COM
peent judges than am The obloquy and abuse heap
ed upon his devoted head by Others more ambitious
less patriotic and Of infinitely less integrity is al
ready recong upon the heads of their authors So
should it always be.
In sister State, New Hampshire, the open
friends of Mr.. Tyler will be in the ascendant after
the March election. There, the oldest, promi-
nent, and unyieding Democrats are Tyler men
They public servants whose long-tried devotion
to cc~nry, and whose integrity of purpose, will not
permit them TO be doubted Such men as Governor
HILL Gov. Page, Abner Greenlcaf William Low
and host of others equally fearless, opposed by
Henry Hubbard, Jack Hale Lyman b. Walker, and
a few other choice spirits, whom the People know
and full well appreciate. In that State miraisp
will find no restng-place.
Exchequer petitions in circulation throughout
city, and will be sent to Washington this week
The signers number many thousands Among them
notice the names of prominent business men, with.
out reference to party. Among these Amos
Lawrence, Sam' Appleton, f. and A. Winchester,
Chandler, Howard Co, Chapman (late Mayor,
Curtis, and thousands of others If our representa-
tiyes are not, like Fillmore and Frank Granger
so caous TO the interests Of their constituents so
much engrossed in their greatness as TO give no
heed to suffering nation they will not journ with
out enacting the bill.
Yours truly, j.
