The Platte Eagle, published in the most De-
mocratic region Of Missouri and which flies at
its mast head the names Of Van Buren, and
Johnson for the Presidency and Vice Presiden-
cy, discusses thus concerning the President
and the faction by whomhe is opposed:
"PRESIDEST TYLER.
"Tbe July number q the Democratic Review,
contains an article relating TO Mr.. Tyler, which we
quite sure, will no meet the appreciation OF the
Democratic party. Justice and charity are enAobling
attributes, and both we have ever believed stand as
the basis of thosx great prime piles for which Demo-
crats are conlendIng Prescription and vindctve-
ness are the antipodes of these, and he who would
cherish the last named at the expense of the first is
no true Democrat Whatever he may think oi himself.
Portions OF the article to which have referred,
are not subject TO the impL tation implied here, but
do not hesitate to dIsapprove of its general tenor
The assertion that Clay to be preferred to Tyler by
the Democratic party has no warrant from the OPT
Mons expressed inn lied of our party, and we are
al a loss TO guess upon what the writer bases his as
sertion If Mr.. Tyler and his friends are sincerely
DESTROYS Of returning TO the bosom Of the great De-
mocratic family of the country and uniting with us
once more in support OF the principles Tor which we
contendng, why, IN the name OF justice, should
we close the door upon them we are as ultra upon
fundamental principles the most firm OF our brelh-
rem but we cannot go far to Justify the support
Of relentless enemy in preference TO one, who
though he erred has given the best evidence OF repen
lance, by strangling the most powerful enemy the
Democracy ever have had to contend with. Whilst
we disapprove Of many of Mr.. Tyler's acts, we are
clear for giving him full credit for those which are
mertorious and in this we feel that we acquit-
ting ourselves Of duty as faithful opponents oil
Democratic principles. Although we are clearly OF
the opinion that MIR. Tyler would do wisely to with
draw from all connexion with the next Presidential
contest we are yet disposed to give him chance If
he desires it. before the Convention, and thus unite
the whole Democratic family in opposition TO Fede
