THE PRESIDENCY.


There is no position, in our opinion, clearer than
that no candidate Of the Democratic party can be
elected President of the United States against the
will OF President Tyler and his friends. Whoever
shall be the Presidential candidate will want all the
votes that Mr.. Van Buren, had in lS4O and many
more the candidate viii require the whole vote OF
the party 1t is right that this matter should be look
cd to IN advance. 1t is true, told, that the
gentlemen who are pushing Messrs. Van Buren, Blu
chanan, Calhoun, Johnson, and Cass, that they can
certainty carry. III they should poll no more votes
than Mr.. Van Buren, did in 1910, we would not think
their success certain. In opinion, it would be
up bill work, the whole way, TO attempt to elect a
candidate not warmly supported by the President and
his friends all over the Union. 1t our judgment that
Mr. Tyler ought to be the Democratic candidate in
1914
Without stopping to cast ary difficulties in the way
CT the other gentlemen named by the Democracy, 1t
seems to US to he an act OF great injustice to pass by
tie present incumbent, who recently lifted the
Democracy up to It's present prosperous condition..
The party, prior to the vetoes Of President Tyler,
was sunk beneath the juggernaut wheels of the
Wings. He, however raised il, as if BY a magic
wand. Indeed, he acted the part OF the true magi-
cian and IT IS now proposed that he should head the
party" in the coming contest for the Presidency
Surely who raised it from the nlire and elau in
which IT stalled ought in all Justice to be permit
ted TO lead IT on to victory.
What other mode is there of doing Mr.. Tyler JUS
tice' We know of none Distinguished as the other
are, tHtft Is no one WHO can claim 10
have done so much, by bravery and herosm un-
surpassed for the party, President Tyler. Not one
oil the other candidates vetoed United States Bank.
In this particular General jackson and President
| lyIer stand on the same level And as the Demo
crazy acuded reelection TO General Jackson for bis
veto, ought they not now TO make the same award in
the shape OF denomination to President Tyler
There Is another reason why the nomination should
not be given to any other candidate and that is that
the nominee OF the Democratic National Convcu-
l a.
President Jyleris just the man who should run on
this momentous issue. He raised IT, and the Whigs
denounced him for it. Why should he not be pat be-
fore the people on this his question. Justice de-
mands that he who should gather in the harvest
No should be emitted to wear Mr. Tyler's robes
Of hiun ph, when Mr. Tyler is able TO wear them
VIGOROUSLY through the coming Presidential contest
himself Ills distinguished competitors all known,
and well esteemed m their aneGiaie neghborood but
none OF Them have that universal popularity among
the people that President Tyer has.
Nor IS this matter of mere assertion for the proof
IS at hand. We all remember that when the present
Chiei Magistrate Of the nation sent his objections
against the Clay Bank bills to Congress with what
hearty applause hls yeloes were greeted by the De
mocracy all over the country. 1t was not here and
there that the huzzas of the party were heard but
everywhere, on the highways and byways on the
lakes and rivers, IN the cities towns and hamles.-
In every nook aud corner Of the Republic cheers 10
Tyler and his yetoes were heard Thus we see his
popularity with the party has been everywhere tested
His nomination it will thus be seen would meet with
tie enthusiastic appreciation Of the people. In Sc
leciug candidate for the Presidency it is matter
of the deepest concern, that should name ono that
Is well known TO the people, aud about whom there
can be no doubt as TO his popularity with the Demo.
cratic family Of the Republic.
! liz our judgment, President Tyler is that man, and
VIC base opinion upon the universal thanks sent w
! to him by the Democracy in every part of the Con.

Wings by annihilatiug them, with his veto thunder

runs best for public station with the PEG.
! pie, whose deeds are 40 emnently conspicuous, tina
they stand out in bold reli,f upon the popular mind
Thus, if IT DO asked, what has President Tyler done
TO entltle him to nomination TO the Presidency We
have the same ready answer that given wher
General Jackson run second time, viz " He vetoed
the United States Bank, and this deed not known
to few, but 10 every man, woman aud child m G.
nation. General Jackson was reelected triumphant
y upon his veto, and the Democratic rank and file
are onxlously waiting to render the same justice &c
