From Tie Old School Democrat
!" JUSTICE TO John TYLER


selves in perfect readiness to carry in practice
the sentiment of the above motto We have long
since deemed it the duty of every friend Of the Ad-
mnstraon to take his stand upon the broad platform
OF its principles and unite with other friends around
him, in an ORGANIZATION to sustain them.
The time has arrived wien such organization
is imperativey demanded and we call upon the
friends of old school Republicanism as sustained and
indicated in the executive course of President Ty-
Ter, to rally around his standard organize in his be-
half and thus create for themselves proper nlu-
ence among the friends of other Democratic candi-
dates and cause themselves to be felt and respected
in the National Convention, be holden in May,
lS44.
! Since refusal to go with the ultra Bank Wings
in lS4l in their mad and reckless career, the Repub-
lican party, through aid has been triumphant in
nearly every State in the Union This seems only to
have embodeDed the selfish leaders Of the Van Bu-
rem party of 1910, who thrown into minority
because OF the Justification of large portion of the
staunch Republicans Of the country from the abuses
OF Mr.. Van Burens administration, and they have
had ihe magnanlmity TO award any credit to Mr. Ty-
Ter and his friends for any Of the Democratic vcto-
ries which have been won during the past year.
The friends Of the President have, nevertheless
done their duty manfuly, and now that they claim
has admission into the National Convention as one OF
the republican candidates vi on the same liberal and
democratic basis urged by Mr. Calhoun's friends the
whole array of Van Buren, leaders every where, re-
solve TO do all IN their Iower to prevent this result
and contend that Mr.. TYLER is not a democrat and
not entitled 10 any consideration as a candidate ly
the democratic party
This state Of things has now been endured quite
long enough. Mr.. Tyler and his public acts are at
tackled in the most shameless manner by the Globe,
Pennsy lvanian, Bay State Democrat, Richmond En-
quirer, and every obstacle is thrown in the way Of
his being looked upon one Of the candidates whose
claims To be canvassed IN the National Conven.
ton IL is not in the power of these presses the
raod and illiberal politicians who pull their wires
to prevent Mr. Tyler from taking prominent place
in the Convention, if his friends 10 him and
themselves, and will now prepare for the issue
IL is for this purpose that we ii upon them, in
this part Of the Union, 10 ORGANIZE; and the
sooner they commence the work, the better The
friends in every town and county in Illinois and Mis-
souri, should appoint their town and county commit
tees, whose duty it shall be to correspond With the
State Central Committee and in this way acqualn-
lance and concert of action will ensue that cannot
fail OF having its proper influence upon the move
ments OF exclusive friends Of other candidates and
give us the desired weight in Convention.
Let not those who friendly to Mr.. Tyler, and
prefer him for the next Presidency hesitate to move
actively because violent enemies or ukewarm friends
hold most of the Offices through the country. They
will have reason TO complain, in the end that Mr.
Tyler IS unmndful Of his friends, when organization
has pointed them out and shown who are in favor of
his Republican principles in opposition to The ultra
isns Of the two extremes Of Bank and Sub-Trea-
suy
4 We say TO our friends In this quarter most empha-
ticslly, that organisation is the watch-word Il is
high time to know who actire friends and who are
enemies, and nothing short Of thorough organization
viii show who are for and who against u.s. We
i hope the test Will be made in every quarter
l Col. Johnson's friends manestng the right
spirit and exerting themselves efectuay in the bust
ness of organization. This is right Mr.. Calhoun,
friends should take the same course. And Mr. Van
Buren's should do likewise but we claim fair pia,
from all of them, and the proper acknowledgment OF
our claims to go with our candidate into Convention
We do not propose the creation Of a third party but
merely an expression in favor Of MIR Tyler as the
one on whom we prefer TO rally, and whose claims
we are willing to submit to the decision of the Con-
ventlon, If roPery and fairly treated Short Of
this, We shall not be satisfied
