LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT.
PuLADKLpHIA, Nov. lo43.

ImLADELPHiA, IVY. 1870
To john TYLER President OF the United States;
The Undersigned. on looking your past and
present political Iife take pleasure declaring that
they believe you to be true disciple Of the Jefferson
school. Educated in Virginia. in the best days OF
the great fathers, you are profoundly yersed IN the
principles of our great constitutional charter, as made
manifest TO the world in your recent vetoes IN which
YOU resolved to maintain its provisions unimpaired
il is true you might have signed the Bank bill, and
have had the paudits Of the Wings ell over the coun-
try even at this time but your conscience would not
allow you to do act that not only contradicted your
whole political career up to that time but which also
was vioative of the Constitution. In choosing the
path of recttude in veioing the Bank charter, you
knew full well that you would have to pass through
the sea of Wing persecution. BIT there was no 9TH
err course left, and, Curtius-like you threw yourself
into the breach. .iN
The undersigned well remember with what enthu-
siastic cheering your Netoes were received by the
great body Of the people Of this country There was
not city, town, village or hamlet that did not send
I'D its resolutions OF thanks for your noble defence OF
the Constitution. II at that time that the under
signed resolved TO sustain your nomination Tor the
Presidency 10 1874 1t was then that the Democratic
party woke up from its suanbers. AS the undersign
cd had how unanimously the people rallied
around Gen. jackson when he vetoed the Bank, and
reelected him 10 the Presidency almost by accama-
tion they felt convinced that the people would do
the same Tor President Tyler that they had done for
President Jackson 'sa>t t7
Without referring to many other acts that have
warmly attached the undersigned TO your administra-
ton they take leave to address this letter 10 you ex-
pressye of their exalted opinion of your Presidential
career and trust that they will be permitted to have
a chance of expressing at the Polls in IA by their
votes the sincerity of their opinions conveyed to you
in this communication In conclusion the undersign
cd deem it proper to add that their friends throughout
the United States justly appreciate your services
to the country, and will at the coming election show
their rpSn for nv their votes. .
In presenting this testimonial Of appreciation Of
your devotion to the Constitution, the undersigned
think that they are doing no more than justice to
high Public functonary, that he deserves at the hands
of the people, when he has earessy stood up in de-
fence of their rights against the great monster money
power Of the Country. r
With great respect,
We remain,
Your Fellow Citizens.

DREADFUL MURDER We have to record one of
the most daring and atrocous murders that has per-
maps ever been perpetrated within the limits OF our
city. IL was committed last night, short time af-
ter o'clock, on the person Of young woman
named Ann Maria Burk, aged % years, a nurse in
the family OF n. Moale, Esq, residing in Frank
deceased, 1t appears, left the house OF Mr.. Moale
about eight O'clock tor the purpose of going 10 the
store of Mrs Ham, milliner, in Lexington street,
dence Of Mr.. s. Poutney, Mulberry street, opposite
the Cathedral, where some of Mr. Moale's children
had been spending the evening, to say she would
accompany them home on her return. She then left
and proceeded on her wav to the establishment
above mentioned About 20 minutes or half an
hour afterwards, person rang the bell of Mr.
Poultney's dwelling. servant man Immediately
went to the door-on opening when he was accost-
ed by the deceased, who was literally covered
with blood She exclaimed that she had been
almost killed by man who came up behind, and
without saying word, inflicted blows upon her
head. Whilst thus in conversation, she put her
fingers to her mouth and picked out a front tooth,
which. together with the lower jaw, had beer,
broken by one of the blows. The unfortunate girl
was then taken in and had her wounds dressed,
alter which she was accompanied to MIR. Moale's
and carefully placed under immediate medical nd
The attack, il is supposed, was made whisy she
was crossing small alley on Mulberry stre,T oppo-
site the Cathedral No clue whatever kas yet been
had to the inhuman monster who committed the
dreadful deed. The presumption Is, the unoffend-
ing deceased was mistaken for another, whom some
tend had premeditated killing There were
several bruises and GUS on the face, one over
the LETT eye, and one on the mouth, which broke
the jaw bone and displaced several teeth. The fatal
blow, and immediate cause of death seemed to have
been inflicted with club on the back region of the
head, behind the right ear Thisfractured the skull
aud drove part OF the bone into the BRAIN The un.
fortunate young woman suffered intense agony,
Though she continued rational until about twelve
O'Clock, after which she continued to sink rar idly.
and expired about four o'clock this mornisg. She
bore an excellent character, had been in the family
of Mr.. Moae over year, and was highly esteem
ed for her amable qualities.
Several witnesses were called up during the IN
quest, all of whom testif ID most favsraby of the
deceased but could IN no way acc cunt for her hav-
ing been thus attacked.
