THE REACTION,

We have more than. once taken occasion TO
advert 10 the increasing popularity of President
Tyler with the People, and the numerous and
authentic proofs Of this fact which have within
brief period fallen under our observation, in
cline us 10 believe that his name is destined to
occupy large space in the deliberations of the
Democratic National Convention. The spon-
taneous demonstrations in his favor in almost
every quarter Of the Union, as we'll by editors
OF newspapers as by mass meetings of the peo-
pie, show that wholesome spirit is at work
and that justice though ,ardy, will vet be
awarded TO the talents and patriotic services of
John Tyler.
The people, when not blinded by prejudice
or the arts of demagoguism, are ever magnapi
nous and just. Party zeal and the adroit tao.
tlct' OF busy partissns, may have heretofore. in
some degree, pre-occupied the public mind with
other names, and possessed it with the notion
that John Tyler was not to be admitted among

he has filled thus far with so much ADVANTAGE 10
the Democratic party but the deusion Is fast
passing away, and he is rapidly attaining sucb
prominency before the people, as must convince
the most incredulous that his pre,ensions are
not TO be set aside with impunty.
we need only instance, in proof of these as
ser'ions, the late spirited meetings at Trenton
and Railway, N. j., together with the fact. that
the Trenton Emporium, one of the soupde.,
democratic papers in the United States has
placed The name Of JOHN TYLER at lie
head' as candidate for the Presidency in

PRESIDENT S MESSAGEl
J. f T.


This document, which we publish in so,her col
umn, is one Of the best that has emanstet from ihe
pen OF President Tyler, and will command we think
the appreciation OF all Americans. 1t reapitulates
the facts connected with the various stet taken by
the United States for the suppression q the slave
trade-a trade forced upon the colonies h the mo-
Their country, and continued against their most ear
nest circumstances and contends that III smuch as
this government has never claimed that any new
maritime right ACQUIRED to il from the itoption OF
measures for the suppression of the slave tide, ii
recognise no such pretensions on the part others.
To seize and detain ship ou suspicion of phcy with
probable cause and in good faith, is righ accoded
TO all nations but the assertion of distin> right of
visitation in order TO determine whether flag has
been desecrated, isa very different thing, and will
not be admitted for moment IL Is not, noreover,
perfect tight, because England acknowledges
certain conditlons-such as indemnity and rearaton
Tor loss or damage resulting from deteptih. We
trust that every will read the message wih care
for the subject II discusses is destined to became one
OF great Importance.
