DEAR SIN: In the course Of political events,
there are time, when forbearanee ceases TO be
a Virtue and am decidedly Of the opinion that
the time has now arrived, for we see portion
of the press OF our country, those protesting to
be Democratic, and who have formerly possess
ed the confidence Of the Democratic party, Tor
the last six OF eight months, setting them
selves Up as dictaiors TO the People, prescribing
and denouncng the Chief Magistrate Of the
nation and his Cabinet, with those in and out
of Office who do not subscribe 10 their creed, and
take part with them in vilifying and traducing
the President--as doomed yes, doomed
TO be erode over rough. shod," "rampled in
the dust" ia the event of Mr.. Van Buren's
election. In view Of these facts, ] can no Ion
ger remain silent; am impeled by the feelings
Of patriotism, by the love | owe my country
and its institutions, TO bring into requisltion my
feeble powers in behalf of the man whose indie
pendent course has rescued our country from
the grasp of that hydra monster Federalism
and saved il from anarchy, degradation, and ruin
condemn the course the Washington Globe
and few others are pursuing IN regard to MI
Tyler and his worthy and efficient Cabinei,
who are lrue-hearted Democrats, and who are
acknowledge as such, except by the few rabid
ultras, who, it would SEEM if they cannot "rule,
are determined To ruin" the Democratic party.
The unjust and unholy war that has been waged
and is still in progress against the President and
his Administration, furnishes us with sad
commentary on the times. That high political
feeling should exist on The eve Of an important
election, is not to be wondered at; but that a
war, ruthless war, should be wag d against
the President of the nation, by portion of those
holding the same principles in com non, for no
other reason than that he is popular with the
mass Of Democracy, and stands in the way OF
their own peculiar candidate, is fatally wrong.
Such d course should and will be T, buked, if The
people are true to themselves and study the best
interest of the country. | cannot see why Mr.
Van Buren, or iadeed any Other candidate has any
greater claims to the Presidency than Mr. Ty-
Ter the eminent statesman and rled servant OF
the People, who has been assailed by whirl-
wind Of libel and defamation, and whose eleva
ton to The Presidency is hi, due, and is also
due the character Of the country. Ga Mr.. Tyler,
who, not unlike the immortal Jackson, having
displayed that ma ,ly virtue and honesty prln
clple which is rarely to be found, aud whose in
valuable services Of long and ac i've life most
assuredly fits him Tor, and demands tina; he
should occupy the highest station IN the gift OF
the PeopIe-on him, | ius, the choice will est,
thus indicating the cause of justice and cor
rect poll zeal principles. TIL gross and bel,
lous attacks of the Globe on Mr.. Tyler and his
Administration, have a tendency to open the
eyes Of the People in this part of The State, and
/ they are already beginning TO move in his favor
in despite of every intrigue and underhanded
measure of interested politicians.
With respect, &c.
