JOHN TYLER AND THE pRrsIDrrcv

JOHN TYLER AND THE PRESIDENCY
We have often heard the remark that a, -,
easiest thing in the world to be mistaken ;, "s
believe no one will doubt the truth Of !, ~
fleets moment upon the errors his neirlbo,.
continually falling into. But of oil the Coz.
ertors we ever knew men make, John Tvle, a eyO'
the greatest, in thinking he stands fair ch,n.N
be elected President in 1914. We imagine ~. 40
to Bunker Hill went far to convince him ,h,, ~,
chance is very favorable, and that he stands b;-l
in the estimation Of the people. lie rnakes ~ a.
mind on this, quite TOO hastily, we think. and t.
after he will doubtless think so himself Tho
pie paid respect to John Tyler while on hi. r'
ern tour because he occupies the post Of p,o,.S'.
Of The United States They could moi in oou..,'
alton Of the Office he holds, show him loo. ,a'. 800
than they did But where, in all this. wa,
preston by the people of any thing that co0,d -
sonably be construed into friendship fo, ,ho -,
or his political course and especially th,, ,to, ~
vored his election To fill the Presidential cb.;.
the next term !. There was. nothing Of Tho a.,
and if he was keen sighted politician, or even
common observer Of men and motives, he would A.,
have gone back 10 Washington expecting 10 ,sc,;.'
the support Of the people of those States thu
which he pissed.
In proof that Tyler docs really believe ,l,, a..
is quite a chance for him TO be the next p,.,;a..,
we have Only 10 refer 10 the Madisonian. r,,,.1
under his immediate inspection, and TO the W.
Ington correspondence Of the few Tyler paper.,c,,
tered through the country. These 80. p o.,
birds Eyes &c, are evidently familiar win ii.
"iamily secrets" at the White House. and w;,hon,
doubt speak "by authority" upon all mailer. :.
perianngtc the next Presidency The Wash;nr.
Ton correspondent of the Aurora,-whose letters. !,
IS said, are Jranked by Mr. Secretary Spencer
thus writes:
"Ihe friends Of the administration have de,.,.
n'nea al TINS Juncture TO submit the name of Joux
TYLER as candidate for the Presidency W. +.
Ieve John Tyler has the voice Of the snbs,ar,.,
yeomanry OF the country with him. and that ,hs
people, separated from leaders would unbesi,a,;n.
y and cordially rally around bis name. We Gs,
iher believe, that faithful democratic repnbl;,,,
candidate cannot be elected without uniting on
such man as John Tyler"
One OF these same writer's, probably some peuiu,
in or about the Treasury Department, has written,
long letter 10 RIoHE of the Richmond Enouirers
upon the question, -"Whether Mr. Tyler be moi N.
only man who can lead the DEMooRAcr to yie,o,v
10 the Presidential election of ls44,"
II rs indeed strange, passing strange, that the sc
cdenial President, his most ardent friends could
be much deceived We imagine they do not
"read the papers, or a. least, any but the few
who land John Tyler for the sake of the "spois"
Every Wing in the country will 90 the entire 6g.
ure against him. This is fact so evident, that We
need not waste words in proving il. That the To-
CO Foco party will not support him, there is sbun.
dant evidence on every hand. Richie, in reply 10
his correspondent says-"Mr Tyler can never be
selected as the Democratic candidate by the Nation.
al convention. He can never be elected the Presi.
dent OF the United States
The Editor Of the Globe says, that he has won
so little upon any party, "that he could not be elect
ed President if every news paper in the United
States should support him" The Democratic Re-
view is out upon him, showing him up in No uy
enviable light, and the Editor says he regrets ever
permitting his portrait to appear in the Review =
The leading journals, and the leading men Of ,he
Loco Foco party throughout the county, are deci.
dedy opposed 10 John Tyler, notwithstanding be
is throwing them all the "crusts he has 10 dispose
of, in order 10 conciliate their favor The truth
will by.and-by find its way to his mind when his
successor, which we trust will be good Wig,
makes his appearance at the door of the White
House.
