The Next Presidcncy-Grand Tyler Move

From this time commences the great struggle
for the next presidency to be decided at the polls
| throughout the whole country in November next
The election in this capital having been completed
and the result shown, all parties will now buckle
on their amor, and commence the grand contest
Tor the Presidency. On Friday we will have the
wings In the field, with their candidate, Henry
Clay, great and fearless statesman and with
strong prospect OF making a magnificent push tor
The Presidency. We shall have also, convention
In Baltimore on the 9th of May next, unques-
uonably to nominate MIR. Van Buren,, who is the
democratic candidate. There is also in the field
candidate who will be called black one, James
u. Blrney, put forward by the abolitionists, who
may probably poll from 10000 to 100000 votes in
the free States
In addition to all these candidates we have
another movement set on foot by the friends of
Captain Tyler in Washington, the first indication
OF which was the election of delegates to a great
convention in Baltimore on the 9th of May, the
same day on which the Van Buren, convention
sembles. In order to present the whole origin Of
this movement to the people OF the Union, in all
its length and breadth, we publish to-day, and we
believe for the first time, the circular which was
prepared by grand central committee at Washing
ton, under the particular instructions of John Jones,
and which has just been issued to the Tyler troops
throughout the country, calling on them to COM
mence the movement at once, and threatening
utter destruction to all who discover the slightest
hesitation in procaiming their attachment to the
true faith. Here it is it came to us, under the
frank of an honorable member of Congress-
Circular.

Deeply impressed with sense of the impending danger

In reviewing the causes of the present distracted coun

which have left scarcely hope of stemmng the popu

and impartial mind arrive at but conclusion To
the injustice with which President Tyle unequaled de-

These the thoughts Of tens of thousands of single

reflections which have caused all the late disasters of the
party-which have thinned continue to diminish and
Will ultimately dsband the ranks Of the Democratic par
correct the evil.
Committee was appointed by the meeting, and charged
with the duty of addressing Republican friends
throughout the Union, urging their cooperation in
measure which alone promises triumph in the coming
Presidential struggle. This measure is the immediate
election OF delegate or delegates to represent every Con
gressional district in the Union, to Tyler Democratic
National Convention, to assemble at Baltimore Mon
day, the twenty.seventh of May nexto secure the
ganization of the friends of President Tyler by the orma
ton Of clubs associations committees in every city,
town, district precinct neghborhood promote the
circulation, without delay for securing the utmost eff

mails in the Union favorable the reelection of John
Tyler.
Aside from the policy of this as the only measure
which promises success to the Democratic party the
approaching Presidential eectonas the only which
can impar that degree OF confidence and enthusiasm in
dispensabe to success-it commends itself to ALL an
act Of simple justice to the who alone and unaded,
The every generous breast IN the land re-
volts at the design plainly medated by the adherens of
earned laures OF President Tyler It is due the laer-it
is demanded by common honestyhat the umphs ofthis
and its benecent fruits should be credited
to their author Alone and not employed to render accept
able to the nation gentleman who had share in the
struggle or participation in it's hardships. With John
Tyler only as the antagonist of Henry Clay, this
Administration be put trial before great jury of the
People. Associated with his name, and upon his |
banner only to the Nation the Vetoes

Government establishing and confirming heathulness

tory.
In this great of safety to the Democratic Party
we ask the assistance of all true Republicans, We make
no appeals to passion prejudice Relying upon the
justice oil our cause we approach them not superors
IN tone oil command, but as equals and claim of them
that which feel assured their reason will sanction and
patretism applaud. We invoke their earnest vigant
and energetic aid Let no doubt of the practicabiy
success of the effort dssuade any from extending to
hearty and Jealous cooperation 1t has been undertaken

and in spirit whose labors obstacles impede

By order of the Tyler Democratic Central Committee
JOHN B. JONES,
Corresponding Secretary.
This is most extraordinary, startling, phioso-
m
ment IL presents, In one view, the whole me
rlts OF the administration of Captain Tyler during
the three years he has occupied the White
House, and certainly these merits are neither few
nor far between. 1t also promises good works for
the future, particularly the annexation of Texas
and the settlement of the Oregon question for al
