MR.. WEBSTER AND ROBERT TYLER.
John Jones of the Madisonan, on the authority Of
Mr.. Robert Tyler, contradicts statement re atye 10
Mr.. Webster, which appeared in our journal last
week as follows:
"THr New YoRK HrRALD.-We are authorized TO
contradict, m the strongest terms, the declaratio,
made by the editor Of the Herald that Mr. Robert
Tyler has written letter to Alderman TowIe in
which he expresses qualification that have "gotten
rid Of Webster at lastn No one has a more un-
eigDed respect for the great talents and eminent ser
vices OF Mr.. Webster than the sonof the President
and If the Secretary Of State retires from the Cabi
net, no one will regret the necessity Of his official
separation from the Government more than this gen
uemau.n
Notwithstanding this denial, we re.asscrt the sub
santal accuracy Of this statement Perhaps the act
words may not have been used by RobT TYLER but
he stated the fact OF Mr. Webster's withdrawal is posi-
tive. Indeed, the very terms Of the denial admits
the general accuracy Of the statement. John saws
" # the Secretary retires from the Cabinet no one
regrets the necessity Of his official separation more
than Mr.. Robert Tyler What necessity ~ What
" necessity" was there FOR separation
The necessity" exists in the belief entertained
by Captain Tyler that Mr.. Wcb-ier's continuance in
bis Cabinet was obstacle between him and the
Democracie.n This curious idea had been impress
ed upon the President and his son by the ofce'seek
Hopkins, Major Noah, and whole lots 4 Demscrats
have been preaching up the idea. We know that
Captain Tyler did not want Mr. Webster TO remain
so long but the difficulty TO get him out in some
decent way Hence, when Mr. Webster made up
his mind TO retire, Captain Bob writes letters an
nouncing The fact exultingy, but coupled with re-
grets for the " necessity" Yet we do not conceive
II to be a matter Of much importance either way
but II may be well TO understand the facts as not
We are afraid however, that The sequel will show

will not unite Captain Tyler and the Democracy very
lovingly together Yet there is no harm in irving
and If be be deceived, IT will be the first time The
amiabe, believing Captain has been mos, egregiously
duPed by those who call themselves his friends par
ercciience
One word Of advice before we part. II Captain
Tyler and his friends, Bob included, would confne
their attention TO the great interests OF the country
to foreign negotiatons-to public affairs and 10 paw
less heed to these silly coquettngs after the Demo
oracle" or attempt to get nomination by any con-
vention, he would do himself much more honor in the
end, and have his claims more thoroughly examined
by the country. These weak and vacillatng efforts
to create party, or TO catch the Democracy by es-
tabishng newspaper organs on forced contributions
or using the patronage OF the Government to that ef
feet, will end most disastrously for his reputation
and his popularity. Take care--time Is yet
