This has been proud day for the friends Of Presi-
dent Tyler and his Administration. The Tyler Con-
vsntion of tho State Of Ohio has noby done its duty
II was composed Of members of the most sterling
worth, and in numbcrs it was overwhelming, 80 much
10 that an adjournment from the old Court House 10
the City Hall found to be absolutely necessary
for 10 the street, opposite the Court House, there
were hundreds striving to obtain an entrance. II
was expected that, 10 consequence of the unoxam-
pied bad stale of the roads, that few members from
distance could attend their zeal and anxious de-
sire 70 render justice 10 a vlifed and illuminated
patriot however, overcame all obstacles, to the as
constituent alike Of both the Democrats and Wings,
and indeed to the Tylerites themselves.
At 10 o'clock, A. M, John Burdell, Esq, Of Wash
ington county, elected Chairman and afterwards
DR.. M. G. Krider, an old and tried Democrat, and
late Sta's Senator, was appointed President. The
usual number of Vice Presidents also were appoint
cd, all Of whom were men of political standing and
eminence in the State. On taking the chair, the
President made of the very nsatest and most sp-
propriate specch l have ever heard it was at once
chaste and expressive. Dclazon Smith, Esq, Of
Dayton, then read very excellent and admirable
address, which listened to with marked stten-
ton and frequently applauded. The address being
finished, an adjournment (for reasons have stated
in previous part of this letter. moved and car.
ried and at O'Clock the Convention reassembled at
the City Hall, which speedily filed from the top
IN thA hiatt Mr. thann Cd Al;
ing speech, which, for eloquence, argument and
satire, has, venture to say, never been equaed in
this State The audience, except when expressing
their appreciation by applause, silent and atten

retired, amidst enthusiastic plaudits. The chairman

Thorn; they being accepted and adopted, the meeting
adjourned till O'Clock, to meet at the old Court
House the City Hall having been previously engaged
for another purpose. At seven, the Conv enton met
again-but not one half who wished could obtain ad-
mittance. Many now being present who were not at
the City Hall. the resolutions reread, accept
cd, and adopted. MIR. Fairchild, of Cleveland made
a speech and Mr. Smith was agan---though much
exhausted and hoarse from his previous edort-from
the vociferous calls made for him, obliged to address
them again, which he did in q speech of an hours
length, with singular eloquence and humor. fyFt
From tie Boston Courier.
We see by the Advertisements Of the Boston Cou-
rer that the patronage of the Boston Post Office Is
transferred from the Bay State Democrat TO that pa
per- The list Of letters remaining in the Office will
hereafter be published in the Courier. The Courier
is rewarded for its support of the appointment of Da-
yid Henshaw.
This gentiemaniy paragraph we have Just noticed
in the Northampton Courier Of last week. II con-
tains least piece OF information hch hope
will not prove be Incorrect: viz that the list of
letters remaining in the Post Office will hereafter be
publ shed in the Courier We glad to learn this
fact from such undoabted authority, fact of which
we have had other assurance. Equally ignorant
are We slso, that the advertisement in question, or
any other, has been ordered in the Courier q
ward for supporting the appointment Of Mr. Hen.haw.
We have expressed hope that the Senate would
confirm that appointment, and have given our rcn-
sons. That hope we repeat. and those reasons we
are ready, whenever called upon 10 forfy with 9TH
ers. But have never seen, in the most viru-
lent attacks that have been made upon us, in this
conDexion, any reason, or show OF reason, Why Mr..
Henshaw should not be confirmed and 10th
to believe that the Senate win reject so good an ap
pointment for the qualification OF political ran.
cor We will not yet believe that majority Of that
body are obs,nately vindictiv~ in feeling h TO
drive from office, the duties OF which he IS emf
neutly auoPsru W u'sc"htk &c, "hu WhVu uft TeSt-
dent has called to his council deny the Presi-
dent the privilege Of selecting the members OF bis
cabinet.
The editor Of the Northampton Courier may attrib-
ute all this to and selfish motive, " he choose.
We cannot help IT, But seems TO us that such i'm.
putniions are quite likely TO come from minds and
hearts no more exempt from the faults they charge
upon others, than the accused themselves. There
are those, I've hope the gentleman at Northampton is
not one Of the number) who, never having given an
opinion till they had considered what effect !, nigh,
have upon their pocket, presume that all men like
the nseives and have conception tina, others can
be guided by more honorable motive.
