Resolved, AT the same time, that we should

and to the merits Of an individual whom We
are proud to recognize as an immediate neigh

dial and unanimous preference for our distin-
guished fellow citizen, Martin Van Buren,, for
the Office Of President. Born and reared among
US, personally and intimately known to most
OF US, distinguished from his boyhood, for his
pre-eminent talents and unwearied assiduity in

political, peculiarly noted for his answering
Devotion to Democratic principles from his

TYLER AND Observation-Disclosures are the
opinions Of many honest minds respecting the
democracy Of John Tyler and his devotion to
the fundamental principles Of the great repub-
lican creed. By many democrats he is re-
ceived with open arms into full fellowship and
trust, whilst others are extremely hostile to his
even entering within the hallowed precincts of
the democratic camp. His past political life
is referred to as an evidence of his attachment
to the principles of our party, whilst his more
recent and present conduct is evinced as show
ing the treacherous hypocrite and base dema-
gogue. Laying aside all prejudice against
the man on account Of his being one Of the
standard bearers during the memorable cam
paign Of 40; or without being favorably infu-
enced in his favor on account of his recent
manifestation of partiality 10 democratic mea
and measures, we think the following Ian
guage Of the Democratic Review just and prop
er, and feel quite confident that it speaks the
sentiments of every true democrat in Illinois:
when sudden and solemn act of the
Providence of God brought him into his pres
ent position, he had it in his power TO adopt
course that would have secured him warm
aud triumphant support from the Democratic
Parry and from an over whelming majority Of
the country. That course was earnestly, pa
triotically, kindly, and hopefully pointed Out
to him and urged upon him. Bot he was not
the Man for the Occasion. After all, perhaps,
if he had been, he could never have thus found
himself there. in tina, precise and peculiar po-
sition which created it. He was totally une-
quail to the strong effort Of and bold and man.
ly course, in either or in any direction. He
tried to shuttle shabbily along, middle way
between the two parties. He certainly did
his best to remain Wing. He chung to
them ill Clay shook him roughly off and
drummed him out of camp. We all remem-
Der how he whined about their unkind injus-
tice to him, when he had done his best to ar
range compromise with them upon that one,
by which he might retain his hold upon them.
And now that the progress of subsequent de-
velopement has shed its light upon the mo-
tlves and spirit Of prior events, we see but
slender title to credit that he can claim at the
hands Of the Democratic Party, even for his
Bank vetoes."

ELEGANT ExrRAcT.-We desire to start the
following choice 'norceau Of political and per-
sonal opinion, on the grand tour of the press.
1t may be found in the New York Courier and
Enquirer of December "a, 1880, and is from
the classic pen Of Col. James Watson Webb
here it is:
$ They (the national republican wing party)
look to Henry Clay. who, by one act, consu
mated more to the dshonor OF the country than
whole life of Gen. Jackson, even if placed at
the disposal Of enthusiastically selling shs
nigh office Of President Of the United States to
John Quincy Adams, and receiving in returtss
the appointment of Secretary of State. All
the waters of Lethe will never wash that stain
from the character Of Henry Clay 20
Well-we wonder what it is, more power.
full than all the waters of Lethe," that has
at last "washed this stain from the character
Of Henry Clay" and restored him to the pure.

August Elections.
Tennessee.

The Mail of yesterday brought US a few add-
tional returns but they OF less interest since
the triumph OF the Wings in the election OF Jones
for Governor is conceded. 1t is known that FIVE
of the Members of Congress VIII be of each party.
leaving the odd one to come from the Memphis
District whence we look for the return OF Ashe'
Wing, but not with certainty. Cave Johnson
Loco, has escaped defeat by some 200, though he
had majority for Polk of SO in l54l to begin
upon. We have hopes that John A. Aiken. Ma
tional B ank, is elected over the regular Loco
Foco candidate in the First District.
AS to the Legislature, we have enough returns
70 assure a Wing House. To the Senate II
Wings and II Locos arc very certainly elected,
leaving two Districts to be heard from, OF which
one (the Hardemon) is probably Loco, and the
other the White is probably Wing. Either of
these gives us all we want in the State.

GprAr LEscopE.-The Worcester Palladium
contains description of telescope which NJ
Paine is now constructing, the tube Of which is
fortv.eight feet long and four feet in diameter
This tube is made Of Russia iron, is supported by
a cast-iron frame which is made to traverse on a
circular railway eighteen feet in diameter. The
concavc mirror at the power end Of the tube is
fortv.sx inches in diameter and its focal lengths
forty feet the lenses are six inches and quartz,
in diameter. Mr.. Pane says:
1t IS we'll known that alteration Of rays, is the
result of very high magnllylng power; and
this optical fact has led many to assert that dis
tinct telescope action is limited to some twelve
or eighteen hundred powers; for in order to o.
tain highly magnitied image OF an object, with.
out alteration, combination Of lenses is requi,
site; and it is evident that the more dense me.
dunn becomes the more faint the reflection OF the
image passing through it will appear.
The only part OF the instrument which We
claim as our own is tie farm and combiRatoaet
the lenses. which, so for from being limited by
eighteen hundred powers, claims magnliying
power of c!ccen thousand.
The mirrors. which arc by far The most difficult
part of the work, are finished, together with the
| lenses, and also all the small! apparatus.

KENrUcKY.-The returns which reached us

KENrucKY.-The returns which reached us
yesterday very nearly assure the return OF the fol-
lowing Members of Congress:
Dis Wings. Dist. Loco-Focos
III. willis GREEN. l. Linn BOYD,
VI John WHITE, V. JAMES STONE,
VII. VIM P. THOMSON, *. RlcnAKD French,
Will .GARRET DAVIS, y. J. w. TIBBATTs.
Members Of the last Congress.
This is scandalous. The Vth District Is lost
by the trcachery of Gov. Pope, who ran for the
benefit of the Loco-Focos, and took off some 2,O0O
Wing votes. He will now come out openly Lo-
co-Foco, and put end to bis power to do evil.
Until the recent discovery of his treachery he had
been six years Whig-longcr than he ever be-
fore adhered 70 any party during half century
of political life. In the IXth District, the com
manding talent and high personal character OF
Judge French has overcome the political sertl-
ment of the District, and in the Xth the general
dissatisfaction of the friends of w. w. South
gate, who ought to have been the Wing candl-
date, has thrown away the Member by 200 ma
onty. We trust the two remaining Members
will be Wing; but the more Locos there are IN
Congress this winter from Tariff State like Ken
lucky, the higher will be the Wing majority IN
the Presidential Election.
