MRS. ROBERT TYLER.

This lady, with her husband and family left US
yesterday for Philadelphia, where Mr.. Tyler has de-
.ermned to locate and devote himself the abors of
his profession.
Gifted with high order ofintsect, and that pecu-
liar talent for speaking which is efficient in pop
ular assembly, we look with confidence to Mr.. Ty-
ler's success, and applaud the manly energy with
which he has thrown himself into the melee Of foren-
sic strife.
Mrs Tylers absence will be great loss to the So
cal circle Of Washington. As the presiding lady of
the White House, she has won all hearts. Distin.
gushed foreigners, well as our own citizens, ma
tive and vsi,an of the capital have combined to Of
fer homage the courtesy and address with which,
on all occasions, Mrs Tyler has performed the hon
ors of her exalted position.
This fair lady leaves us and the high position which
she has held Gan illustration Of our Republican in
sttutions,) to take less public one in Philadelphia,
but one, we know, more congenial to her feelings
and where the feminine virtues which shed such
a charm around the names Of home and hearth, and
the cultivated mind and taste that give the social
circle many graces, will be welcomed and appre-
ciated by all who may have the honor of making her
acquaintance,

Extract Of a Letter from a Republican Q
high standing in Virginia.


Extract Of a Letter from Republican of
high standing in Iirginid.
Here the camTaign has already opened-the old
issues of 40 revived, and pressed with resist
less force The review Of the waseful extravaganza
and progacy Of the late Administration is the great
engine with which the Wing party mos, success
fully operating. 1t is vain to attempt to call the
public ention away from that subject TO the
sideration Of political issues and should the Demo-
cratic party continue to fight under the banner Of
MIR Van Buren,it is doomed TO experience a defeat
wholly unknown in our history. But ifMr. Van Blu.
ren's name be dropped, and that OF John Tyler in
scribed the banner, il must and will triumph most
gloriously. That name would at once disarm the
Wings Of their only effective weapon, and leave then
utterly powerless in the contest And then should
have something TO inspire We could point tri-
umphsntly TO the fact that Mr.. Tyler in addition to
the unprecedented ustre which he ha. shed upon the
subject Of foreign relations, almost entirely
aided and alone, has redeemed to the letter every
pledge made by the Wing party in the canvass of
40 the base abandonment OF which, at the very com
mencement OF the extra session Of Al caused the as
tonishng reaction of the public mind against that
party manifested by the then ensuing congressional
and other elections which were held in various
parts OF the county. Tie public mind has not
cbanged-tbere is still the ,ame majority against a
Bank and High Tariff that existed then. The Peo-
pie only want an honest man for their leader TO dem
onstrate this TRUTH

The principle OF equal rights is a fundamen-
tal Christian principle, which gathers strength
10 It's growth, and is capable Of embracing with
in its influence the entire surface of the globe,
scattering in its progress the seeds Of all virtue
and knowledge.
We are as firmly convinced Of this as we are
of any other Christian principle, that equal
rights will make common friends. And we
claim for the discussion OF this question, OF "a
too large territory" something more than sense
less clamor, OF references to the experience oil
nations, ,oho Violated every principle upon
phich are base The perpetuify Of our instiiu-
lions.
These remarks we have thrown hastily
together, with the hope thatthey may give rise to
a more candid and liberal, and to more search
ing consideration of this matter. II Is a ques
ton not Of temporary interest, but oil lasting I'M
portance. Ii is one vital TO the welfare OF HUI
manly.

A communication having appeared IN the
Philadelphia United States Gazette, calling
upon the Wings "as party" TO rally against
annexation, the columns of that paper, on the
next day, administered the following judicious
and well-deserved rebuke. That sensible pa
per is unwilling 10 leopard the Wing cause, by
putting every member of the cause TO the Tor

From the United States Gazette.
THE TEXAS o. p. Q'S.
Mr. Chandler A writer in your paper of to-day
(29th) has taken most understandable liberty win
the Wing party in declaring it opposed to annexa-
ton Upon what authority is this assertion made
Is it inferred from the fact that Mr. Clay has cease
lessly endeavored first to retain, and subsequently 10
recover Texas for the Union!
Let the o. p. Q's exhibit their wonderful sagacity
by individual opposition TO annexation Let them II
they will Islander all whose favorable opinion have
made them interested in the affairs of Texas let
them villfy the stockholders and suffering creditors
of broken Banks, the assigness of the unfortunate
who seek to pay their creditors; let these .. T. Qs
exhaust tn r vocabulary Of epithes and nsnuations
let them continue discuss every thing but the mer.
il of the question: let them do what shall seem best
TO their wisdom but pray you, sir, not TO counte-
nance the monstrous attempt 10 array the Wing party
as a party, against this measure NO man sincerely
the friend of Henry Clay will seek to make that issue
# cannot be made without fatal consequences; II
will be done only by those who purpose to use Mr..
Clay to further their own ends or perhaps who do
so regardless of consequences to him. Surely no
sane man can suppose that the Wing party can unite
against this measure. Why make it party question
at all 1t has frequently been subject OF public
discussion during twenty five years. and never treated
as party question. If there be good reasons fer re-
iecting il, stronger reasons than Adams and Clay
nave been able TO urge in its favor let US have them
But we must protest against any o. p @ jeoparding
the ascendency of the Wing party, by seeking to ar
ray it in party line in opposition to a measure OF
such imposing, and such lasting importance. If the
friends of have their vision sharpened by
interest, o. P. G. should remember that there are
ottes, who are so blinded with dollar over their
ewes as to be unable to at all X. 5. +.

weeks) and the second volume entire, extending
to one year from the first of nex January AT the

great work undertaken by the Liberty rarty the
redemption of the slave and the salvots3n Of our

friends of freedom and righteousness to take must
be apparent to all it is admitted by the leaders Of
both the pro-slavery parties; and they only ask for
''one more" obesance at the shrine of party before
they undertake this reasonable work. This wor-
ship has been paid Liberty has again been

cision Of the question Our confidence is not in
great men or great numbers, but in the eternal

Mn. CLAY AND SLAvERY.-Extract of a letter of
Hon. w. Preston, to R. P. M'Cord Esq, pub
llshed in the Augusta Chronicle and copied into
the Richmond Wing, of October 26, dated
"Columba, Oct. 10, 1874.
To gentleman Of your intelligence, am sure
it would be entirely unnecessary to pretend to vim
dictate Mr.. Clay from the vulgar and abusive
charge Of abolition; for you know that he is a
large layeholder-THAT HIS AND HIS chill
DREN'S DESTINY is WITH THE SLAVE
HOLDING RACE-and that he has publicly and
solemnly avowed this. You have not forgotten
his celebrated ANTI-ABOLITION Speech in the
Senate, in 1892 sc.
After highly commenting that speech and the
striking scene in Indiana between Mr.. Clay and
Mr.. MendenhalI,' where he met and rebuked
the spirit Of 0boitlon,' Mr.. P. gives several ex-
tracts from the speerh of 1889, and remarks
"These sentiments, and the occasion to which
have alluded, Mr.. Mendenhasl in connection
with Mr.. CIay's known abilities, energy and pat
riotism, have long since brotme to the conclusion
that beyond all comparison, HE is THE FIRST
AND FTFFEST MAN, AS PRESIDENT,
TO GUARD THE INTERESTS OF THE
ISOUTH."
The Shareholders know what they support him
for, and they tell u.s. 1t is clearly impossible for a
man to be first to guard both these antagonist in
terests-libery and slavery! You knolo which he
has alwas favored.

Attempt to 0yeraWe Mr., Birney.

We alluded in our last to an awful disclosure
that was threatened Mr.. Birney by "certan gen
tlemen of property and Standing" in the city of
Utica We might have added that 1t was report
ed that there was gentleman in town who knew
all about the matter of which the letter lreated;-
and different persons were solicited to go up with
him to Chittenango to confront Mr. Birney. Well
at Syracuse an unknown, gentlemanly appearing
man, soon after MI. Brney's arrival at the Tenn
perance House, called on MIR. Chase and request
ed to see Mr.. Birney alone. Mr.. Birney was sit
ting in the paror with several friends who had
n met him at the depot and when informed of
the desire of the visitor, went below into Il room
with the gentleman, when the following converse
ton substantially took place:
Stranger. Do you know me, Mr.. Bineyi
Mr. Birney, do not, though | think have
seen you before, What may call your name,
S. That you shall have in due time. Mr. Biz
uey, you are going through the country trying to
hurt Mr. Clay. have your biography, and unless
you desist | shall expose you before the people,
and hold you up to public contempt.
Mr.. b. shall pursue my own course, regard
less Of threats. There is nothing in my life but
what feel willing to meet on all occasions.
s. Well, sir, shall confront you in your
meeting this afternoon. You will then know
who am.
The stranger lett, and Mr. Brney returned to
his friends. Mr.. Bimey attended his meetings as
though nothing had happened, during which ht
reviewed the acts of Mr.. Clay in connection with
slavery, placing it III its own dark and diseracefu
light. When he had done, he stated there was
"persona matter" concerning which he felt bount
to speak. He then related his interview with the
stranger in the morning; and in the connection
gave the outlines of his early education and habits
He claimed for himself no superior virtue, aud adj
mtted in particular his sins of omission and com
mission to the slave-but challenged any man t.
point to Il dishonorable act in his fe or to peri
cd in which he had not met fairly and honorabl
the obligations and duties which he owed to hi
equals. He called on the stranger, if present, t.
stand forth aud accuse him.
After pause of few moments and no answer
the clappiug commenced. The applause Of tn
multitude broke forth, to the no little chagrn @
the sous of Roorback, assembled on the occasion

FEELINGS OF CHRISTIAN PATR1oT.-The men
who are maIignng James G. Birney, can hardly
comprehend the feelings to which their maIignity
gives rise in his bosom. The spirit and temper of
the man breathe out in the concluding, paragraph
of private letter written by him at Buffalo, on
Monday last After describing the large and at
attentive meetings he had attended, he Closes
Dear brother, how ought praise and magnify
the name Of the Lord He gives me power to
stand up against my enemies, without any feeling
Of i'll will against them. He enables me TIC see the
dreadful condition into which they have brought
the country, with no other desire than to reform it
and by such means as He approves. Never
have | so felt that am upheld by his everlasting
arm, aud that his good providence was above and
around me, as have since | sawyou.
