we readily admit but not TO any thing like the extent

will agree with me in this opinion.
Look'ng at the subject, therefore, in every possible

that John Tyler is the only man in our ranks who can
unite us IN 1874, under banner, and lead tr

In conclusion, Nlessrs. Editors, have no, put for

any feeling akin to dogmatsm. My chief object and
wish is to see party once more united, and | be

II my arguments or opinions be wrong, and It can be
80 shown TO me, am ready to admit my error as
openly as proclaim my present views upon the i'm
portant question of the next Presidency. Above all,
,rus, shall not have offended the friends of Mr. Van
Buren, of Mr. Calhoun, by having stated what be-
lieved 10 be the difficulties, supposed ard real in their
path to success. We are all Democrats, and We can
discuss the subject of the nomination TO the office oil
PRESIDENT Tor oll among ourselves, WIN Inc camness
of men who are only anxious TO see "P''ncples not
men" succeed. 1t is not the man who can get the
most votes in the Convention, that is certain Ct cue
in the election. Mr.. Clay beat General fia,rl
son in the Harrisburg Convention by large vote,
but the Convention knew that Mr. Clay could not
be elected. They wen, for certainty in their sac
cess and they took the to carry their point This
should be, and no doubt will be, our policy. In my
Of the subject, therefore, repeat, that it appea
10 me that Mr. Tyler is the only man who can unite
the scattered egions of Democracy, and PROSTATE for
ever Henry Clay and The Arstocracy in this Republic
Such c,ory wonld be a sublime spectacle II would
be the accused and the accuser meeting on The same
field. God ever gives the highland john Tyler and
the Democracy would sweep the battle field, and leave
not ves,ge of their Wing opponents. My earnest
hope s, that The Democratic General Convention will
sacrifice every consideration, that may initiate against
the of the cause. u they do John Tyler rdl
be the ncxi Democratic President Of these United States
