| We did think that the success of the whole
of the Democratic ticket in this county was be-
| yond a doubt But we have been deceived
! Mr.. MaXcy and Mr. Chairs are beaten by two
or three votes. Our ticket fought under the
broad banner Of Democracy, and that of our op
ponents under Clay Whigism The WI ig ora
tors Messrs. Johnson, Garner, and Wouhing
ton, denounced Mr.. Tyler and those who coop
crate with him in the administration of the Go
vernment, at every meeting and upon all occa-
sions, with all the virulence Of which they were
capable, and strange TO tell, Tut nevertheless
certainly true, some of the othce-holders IN this
city, under Mr.. Tyler's Administration, who
profess TO belong TO his party, and would have
US believe they would do every thing they could
to sustain his Administration, and establish him
in the confidence of the People, not only voted
openly for the Clay Wing ticket on Wednes-
day last, but we have every reason to believe
secretly used the influence of their office to de-
feat our ticket.
We candidly confess Mr.. Tyler is not our ia
vorite for the Presidency. We have, however,
seen much in his Administration 10 admire, and
we believe we would do injury TO the instlu-
tons Of our country if we did not admit it. But,
whilst we are free to confess that Mr. Tyler is
not our iavorlte, il the Democratic National Con
vention shall determine TO place his name before
the Democracy Of the country, we will do our
utmost to elect him. Mr.. Tyler has given the
American people strong proof of his honesty
and his desire to administer the Government
within the confines, and upon the salutary prin-
cipes Of the Constitution. We believe the
feeling we have here expressed pervades the
Democratic party in this city and in the county,
and we are at loss to conceive how any honest
man can hold office under Mr.. Tyler's Admins
tration, and at the same time vote for men who
are continually denouncing him.
Some of the office-holders alluded to have
been abusing the President ever since the vetoes.

We perceive that the ultra press, led off by the
Washington Globe, still continue their assaults upon
President Tyler. We had thought that those jour
nails would ere this have seen the suicidal results
which such a course must ultimately produce. No
man IN the nation has contributed more TO the adj
vancement of republican principles than John Tyler.
This assertion we stand prepared TO prove to the sat
sfacton Of every UMPIRE JUDGED mind If conradcted.
Why it is that the Globe should persist in its univer-
sally condemned course, we cannot divine, unless 1T
las pirate object in view The policy Of every
Republican journal should be TO sustain MIR Tyler in
his defence Of Jeersonian principles. II is enough
for the Federalists (wbose he has abb
iured,) to wage war against him 1t is yet a conso-
laton to know, that the Of the Globe is every
where condemned by the honest Democracy The
Peopie-the Democratic yeomarry-are with the Pre-
sident, and they will do him JUSTICE despite the eff
forts OF such demsgogues as f. Z. Blair to underrate
his claims upon the Republican party for support.

THE GLOBE AND THE MADISONIAN.
Before the .Madisolian commenced its exposure OF
the shameful dupcity of the Globe in relation to the
present Republican Administration, had frequent
iy expressed our establishment that Mr. Blair, after
lavshng, for period Of twelve months, every
of compliment upon the President for his Democra-
tic conduct in unfolding the will Of the people, Gas
clearly manifested of late in the recent elections
throughout the Union,) by his vetoes Of the Bank
and Distribution bills passed by factious Federal
Congress- should have suddenly changed his into
the most rancorous abuse based precisely upon the
same grounds in the first instance his compliments
occupied. Although we had been accustomed TO lis
ten with great Difference to the voice of the Globe,
having ourselves always belonged to the Democratic
party, it seemed to US that Blair, in this instance
guilty Of too much unfairness and injustice. We
could not Imagine what reasons he had for rapid
change, for denying the true orthodoxy of Mr..
Tyler. 1t seemed to us unaccountable. Could it be
the desire for the public printing assigned by Mr..
Jones In opinion, this not sufficiently
welghty TO have prompted so reckless a course
Was it because Democrats were the almost eX-
elusive recipients of public office? This should have
called forth from Mr.. Blair additional compliments.
Did proceed from the fact that the Florida had
been terminated by that most excellent determination
of the Executive, TO Try the effect of a summer cam
pagn, and TO destroy the crops of the Indians and
thus to force surrender? Here was act of wis
dom and patriotism which Mr. Blair could not CEN
sure without folly. Was it to be found in the settle
ment and payment Of the claims of our citizens
against Mexico, which had been delayed twenty
years : Here every man, woman, and child in the
country applauded the President. Did it arise from
the formation of the treaty of Washington, which
had balled the efforts of every previous administra
tion' For this almost every Democrat in the Senate
voted. Could it have proceeded from the adjustment
of our Indian affairs and the requirement of ex-
tensive territory the West; OF this all approved.
Or did Mr.. Blair base his objection to, and sudden
/ e al.
condition of our exchangesi In our astonishment,
asked ourself all these questions but could find
satisfactory solution in none and we had nearly
come to the conclusion that Mr.. Blair was demented
when the following satisfactory solution of the mys
terry was presented to us by highly respected cor
respondent The facts which he states 90 true be-
yond doubt" and the differences which he draw:

OUR PHILADELPHIA CORRESPONDENT.

The letter signed &C. giving a very ex-
,ravagant account Of the complimentary dinner
TO Mr.. Robert Tyler, was inserted in the Madi-
sonisn without being read by the editor 1t
was supposed to be correct report of the pro-
ceedings on the occasion, and was sent to the
printer without being carefully perused. Had
the editor seen any Of the silly remarks it con-
tanned, it would have been rejected. The ex-
travsgant expressions alluded to, we are sure,
will also meet the prompt and decided dsap-
probation Of Mr.. Robert Tyler himself
We have preserved the MS of the letter, on
which casual pencil mark betrays the author
as well as the one who copied it F.; and we should
like to be informed whether it was the honest
impulse of the writer which led him TO make
use Of the indiscreet remarks referred to.

The ARTs.-The following is an extract from
the New York correspondence of the National
Intelligencer:
The Yazoo City Whig and political register. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1842-1844, 1843-06-30
a man living without sleep.

An article is now going the rounds of the
papers relative to a man living for years to-
getner without sleep. Although it seems to
US very like tough story, it comes from a
highly respectable source, and we are there
fore induced to give its main points. A COM
munica;ion appeared in late number of the
Boston Medical and Surgical Journal from
one Mr. Robert f Gourlay, in which he set
forth his extraordinary case of sEeeplessncss
Mr. G says he was first deprived Of Sleep for
period of six weeks, in the year 1888. He
was then about 40 years Of age. Previous
to this he had never suffered the least in like
manner. He attributes the formation of the
habit of existing without sleep to a confne-
ment Of three years and eight months, which
he underwent, as he asserts, through British
tyranny during which time he spent most
of bis hours in bed-was much given TO reve-
res, &c. lie went to Scotland when liberia
ted, but'soon after left that country for Ameri.
ca. He had no sleep until he reached Liver
pool, where by taking a warm bath be obtain.
ed few hours repose. lie embarked fol
New York, and during passage out of AZ
days, had not wink Of sleep. On landing
he again procured warm bath, went to bed
and slept soundly. From that time forward
sleep forsOok him for three years. He took
laudanum, but without effect.
In 1887 he was attacked with erysipeli.
in the leg, and was without sleep for FIVE
months. Mr. G had partly recovered from
this attack when he received news of the
death Of two Of his children. He then lal
two weeks in great agony, and from tina
slime TO this, period of four years and 81,
months, ''tired Natures sweet restorer
balmy sleep" hath not comforted him. Hi
health has much improved of late, and h,
entertains hope Of recovery as soon as h,
is able TO take exercise. He has recently a
different times been almost asleep.
Perhaps if the gentleman does get to sleep
il will be found impossible to wake him VI
until he shall have slept eight years or up
wards right off, to make up for lost time
This would scarcely be more surprising to u
than is the possibility Of his having lived 9
many years at different periods without an
sleep at all.
