some time, as the natural consequences VI H'9
beinq permitt by The President 10 remain 10
lthe shady walks Of private life. The MAYOR at
one time gave signs Of a sincere desire 10 rem
der good service in our causes but II was re-
garded by those familiar with his la Tory as the
or,curser either of his elevation 10 some post oil
homo, and trust under the Administration, or
of his return TO the ranks of our enemies, Under
pretence that his superior claims TO con'ideIa-
ZION had been overlooked. The letter. by those
hest acquainted " iih Mr.. Tyler's sagacily and
knowledge Of men, was considered The mos'
probable event. 1t has haPpened-and really
think il matter Of congratulaton rather than OF
surprise or r. greet II is about eleven years
since Major Noah's influence with the Demo
cratic parry came TO fnal and everlasting pc
Rod. IL vas declared in a paper, over The co.
llumns Of which he seemed 10 have some con-
troll. that the Bank Of the United States would
.sbuy men and votes, like callle in the market )"
and, soon after ards, the ruth OF lhe declara-
ton became SO very apparent, that, thenceior-
ward, The Major was regarded by all true Dem
ocrats as an enemy TO their cause. They may
have wronged him in this, but they adhere to
The opinion with great ob,Ilnacy; aud think
the President could have done nothing more
certain impair the conid, nee Of the New
York Democracy in the soundness OF his pnn-
ciples, than 10 have paid the Major for his
guardian friendship by giving him office.
The Major was one of the first TO invite the
President 10 submit his pfetens :ons 10 The dtcl-
81 Of Democratic Convention, and, with
view TO remove serious obstacles, a, supposed,
! he som afterwards withdrew from The colt, +
ship Of the Admnlsra lon aper IN this CITY,

re. union Of tie President with his old friend-
wa, generally regarded a, forlunatr and timely !;
and when The f" Union" became merged in the
! Aurora, 30 hat Major Noah wa. wholly di
vorced from Mr., Tyler's newspaper organ here,
The way TO fair presentation and estimate OF
the claims of Mr.. Tyler to The gratitude of the
! Democratic PARTY seemed entirely open and I'M
obstructt d.
Major Noah, by coming cut as an open enc
N.Y. has sr,a ly enhanced his claim TO the Pre-
sidrnl's gratitude, and he now more than ever
deserves 10 be rewarded.
For the last few days The Courier and Erqui-
rer has been rendering itself extremely amlable
in summing up Mr.. Chy's chances of success,
and drawing the vcry modest conclusion that
they exclude all os,ibiluy Of defeat The eli
tor argues that, inasmuch a. Clay is now only
10 be opposed by the same Influences which de-
feaed his nomina ion at Harrisburg in 1889, he
\ will certainty be nominated. And he conclude,
that, " hen nominated, his success viii BIZ GER
tain, b cause he is only 10 be opposed By the
Democratic party, now in a majo ity in nearly
al The 5 ates in the Union. He does moi urge
the recent Wing defeat in louisiana as an addl-
Iioaal', evidence Of Mr.. Clay's strengths tut he
could have made very strong argumen', of the
same tendency with the rest, had hv cited The
defeat and the f. CT I. Mr.. Clay had just pre-
viuu,ly made The tour OF tue Stale, with view
to rrsuscitate his popularity. The Courier dwrll>
with most athletic emphasis upon the pleasing
hopes inspired by the rivalsLip between Mr.
, Calhoun and MI Van Buren, and finds in il
: such oceans Of con,olar n that ii would be a
pity If the Democratic party should not turn
Wing, and cul Their own threats f r the Colo
: nei's amusement.
The frtnds Of General Harrison viii feel
vastly battered with the following notice of the
part they took in the Harrisburgh Convention
Z" But those who had determined 10 defeat Mr.
: Clay at all hazards, and succeeded in brbing even
I those who had always proclaimed themselves his
. friends those who had travelling agents through
2 every portion Of this State, and paid the ext enses
of some miserable traitors TO Harrisburg on condI
ton of their opposing MIR Clay's nomiuation-hna
fly succeeded in their object aud by putting in nom-
nation Harrison and ler, brought upon the
try the imbecllty mlsrule, and national degrade
! ton under which labor. But at the very
moment that they offered these candidates for the sup
port Of the Wing party, the very individuals who had
accomplished thus treason 10 the peopt by doceWing
and misleading their pc, scntaves, forced To
acknowledge, hit Mr.. Clay the choice II nine
teuths of the Wing party
Sentiments so highly complimentary to the
memory Of General Harrison, are truly worthy
. OF the source fiom which they emiuate, and
prove, concu.iv,ly, that oil prelencc Of respect
for hi, character has been empty and heaftlrss
in that quarter, from the beginning.
Now the truth is the parry which is idcntf,d
with Mr.. Clay is, stric ly ,peakng the body
! aud soul Of what now remains of the old d.
raj ary. rs b. +. Iaet, of Boston, once
said it is "he INHERENT minority party IN The
4 JHited !Stdits.' II Htrer HIS fairly com.
mauded a majority since the fall OF the elder
Adams, and it would have dragged down the
military services and personal pol ulariiy OF Gen.
Harrison, in 1910, had he not been wise enough
TO disavoN It's piuci LIS. II is cay Tor men to
calculate aud speculate on what Harrison might
have done, had he lived but it is worth bang
rcmeGb red that he declifed, in his letter to
Shcrrod Williams, that Congress had no power
t. charter a bank 10 ansrer The purposes Of
ltrdde and commerce and that be would only
sign bill upon the most clear demonstration Of
it, absolute necessity, as a fiscal agent Of The
