New YORK, March %, ls43.
Dear Heart: | perceive by the Globe
of the 24rh instant that the editor of thai
paper has placed an unwarranted con.
struction upon language used in the extract
from my letter, published in your last mum.
Der, and make it the lex; for severe, and
think, unwarranted attack on the Spec.
tat0r.
sit was generally understood that Mr..
Tyler would not be nominated at the meet
ing, but that very strong resolutions ap.
probatTe of his course. &c. would be
passed. The nomination of candidate
for the democratic patty in the city ofNew
York will depend very much upon the pre-.
ference shown By the people at the prima-
ny meetings of the democracy during the
next twelve months. doubt whether MIR.
Van Buren, or Mr.. Calhoun could be nomi-
mated in this city at the present moment,
and have the nomlnaliJn OF either give
general satisfaction to the party"
Snow, neither Van Buren,, nor Mr.. Cal.
houn can obtain the New York nomination,
and as the nomination OF neither would
give general satisfaction TO the party the
editor Of the Spectator kindly affords an
intmaton, through the same friend, that
may be relied on as 10 choice that pro-
misses to be satisfactory. 1t will be found
in the closing paragraph Of the letter"
In the above extract, perhaps the iGea
have been convey that Mr. Van Buren or
Mr.. Calhoun could neither of them event
ually be nominated in New York, and have
"the nomination give general satisfaction"
to the party. Such was not my intention,
and doubt whether any intelligent man
would SO construe the language used; but
to leave no doubt about the matter allow
me to say in addition, that the friends of
these two candidates were 50 nearly equal
ly divided in the Democratic ranks in New
York, that is very doubtful which Of the
Two has the mnjority of fricnds-and 81
doubt whether Mr.. Van Buren, or Mr.. CAL
houn could be nominaled'-I. c. ! duuLt
whether the friends of Mr.. Calhoun would
allow the nomination of Mr.. Van Buren, to
be made in the city, and 60 forth to the
world as the expression Of the New York
democracy, when it would Mt at this mo.
ment be a fair one. Or, vico versa, |
doubt whether Mr.. Van Buren's friends
would arquiesre in the nomination of Mr.
Calhoun, aud have it decisive with the
former. And | will add my own opinion.
that Mr.. Calhoun is more popular at this
moment in this city than any other demo.
cratic candidate that can be named.
Mr.. Gushing made an excellent speech.
The result Of this meeting will be, that
MIR. Tylor's friends will fal back into the
ranks of the young democracy, and 90 TO
work in earnest to break down old party
organization, and give Mr.. Tyler a fair
chance"
And repeat again, he did make an ex-
cellcnt speech, but what connection The
Globe can find between the nomination of
Mr.. Calhoun or Mr.. Van Buren,, and Mr.,
Cushing, is mystery to me. Again,
think Mr.. Tyler's friends show their good
sense in acting with the Democratic party,
instead of running third ticket and en-.
dangering the success of the ticket: for
Mr.. Tyler has some few friends in the
ranks, and | doubt the policy of the Globes
attempting to drive them away, and then
forcing them to set up for themselves.
So much for the Globe. There is re-
port in town to-day, that if Mr.. Van Buren,
does not get majority of the members of
the Legislature to nominate him, he will
withdraw his name. We hope it will
prove true. Bya dignifed withdrawal Of
his name, he can secure once more the as.
cenGancy of the Democratic party, to
whom he owes debt of gratitude for past
elevation, which any personal ambition
andlove of power he may make can hard
ly repay.
Mr.. Calhoun's friends are much graft.
fled to learn that they now have a central
organ In their own interest at the seat
OF government, and they will give the pa.
per warm and hearty support.
You can hardly be aware of his popular
lty with the great body of the people, or OF ,
the enthusiasm and devotion which exists
towards him. His name alone Is tower
of strength. The good, the honest and
the patriotc-the large portion OF the ,
mass who have no selfish views IN sinh. !.
