GThe Editor of the Are having gone

eTThe Editor of the Age having gone
over 10 Tylerism, it becomes question of
some importance whether the whole party,
of which his paper is the organ in this Sec
ton are likewise transferred. AS the pa
per is hereafter to be Tyler paper, Of
course its patrons will claim TO be consider
ed as Tyler men. Who would have thought
that the administration, in buying up an
Editor and his press, purchased the party
with which the Editor has formerly been
connected.
Of course such Of the locofocos as are
purchasable will cling to the Esprit" and
speak well of the administration. such as
are not we suppose will bolt as they do in
Burlington and elsewhere. How comfort
