Mr.. Tyler is before the country as candidate Tor
the next Presidency. OF the causes that nave com
bned to place him in that attitude we have Eoihine
TO say His friends have right TO prefer him 70
any other candidate for the Presidency, and to ex-
press that preference in the manner they have done
yet we should regret to witness as the result OF the
stand they have TAKEN the election OF the demagogue
Clay. Even they, we might suppose, will dePrscate
such an event far than the failure OF their iayo-
rite, ardenty as they may desire that he should be

sumo, throw the election into the hands OF Henry
Clay. He has earned the gratitude OF his country
ma and thnusa nd re American
people, who would be glad to testify their respect
and admiration of his his services at the coming
election, who are nevertheless equally anxious TO
defeat Clay, and TO continue the blessings which Mr.
Tyler's administration have secured to the country.
How can both these objects be accomplished
Some Administration papers, the Norwich news
among them, favor the idea Of running Union
ticket upon which the whole Democracy can unite,
while at the same time the friends of either Polk or
Tyler can express their individual preferences. Of
this plan we think favorably, and should much re-
joice 10 it carried out Its result, as matter OF
course would be to secure to Mr.. Tyler the express
sions of large body of the American people In IA
vor of his administration and not elected he would
retire 10 private lie with the proud consciousness
that his efforts to his country were not wholly
unapprecated by his countrymen. Nor would the
election Of Col Polk be less certain in such an event
than II now is.
