States will arrive in this city in few days, e.

John Tyler that justice which is consideredldue him
for his former democratic acts, and his recent
withdrawal from the canvass in favor of the demo-
cratic nominees for President and Vice President
Since the letter Of President Tyler, all the Tyler
papers throughout the country have hoised the
flag of Polk and Dallas. The effect OF Mr. Tyler's
withdrawal in numerical point of view, will
amount to but lew hundred votes IN favor of the
democratic party, but the contributions to be le-
We'd from the officers of the National Governmen mt,
will aid very materially in sustaining their nomi-
nations The Custom house of this city and ap-
pendages thereto, has generally yielded from
$4,000 to $4,000 in Presidential campaign The

GRAND MILITARY DISPLAY ON BROOKLYN HEIGHTS
YKsrERDAY.-This matter almost stole march
upon us; it was only at late hour on the evening
previous that we heard any thing on the subject,
and that imperfectly, of what was about to take
place but Notwithstanding we were ready to take
the field with the best on the ground without pre-
vious drills or exercise. When we reached the
Ign, at the rear of the Navy Yard, we found en-
camped the City Brooklyn Guards, within the old
entertainments of 1872; and the very sight around
them, if any thing else was necessary, was quite
sufficient to arouse them to just appreciation Of
the endeavors Of those who had gone before them
on the same ground, who had liberty, self, their
country, and their homes to defend against an all
aggrandizing power Of the old country. The City
Brooklyn Guards left their homes on the previous
evening for their encampment on the above spot,
and amidst heavy rain and darkness struck their
tents, 16 in number, in true military style, (which,
amidst the pitiless peting of the mcrciless storm
they accomplished in somewhat satisfactory
manner, and laid themselves down con their pal
lets OF straw" AT daylightiin The morning it was
taire, and Capt. Olney. their commander, imme-
dately caused the tents to be struck, and form
ed anew in proper style. On the ground, in
addition to the foregoing company, we found the
LIST Jefferson Grenadier Guard, mastering 40 mus
kets and five officers, headed by TIE New York
Brass Band also the I'd Jefferson Guards; these
were followed by the Washington and the JeiIer
son Rife Brigades. Shortly after two o'clock
Generals Underhil and Morris, and staff, came or
the ground i'll company with several ladies', in {
carriages, escorted bylCapt. Marks gallant Hussa
troop. Some time after, the drums rolled anC
trumpets blew for muster, and after little delay
TIE uoopS were got unueI OTQeT. Inc BrOOkIyI
City Guard led the way to the grounds below For
Green, where Generals Underhill and Morris, to-
gether with their staff, were in attendance. They
then went in review order firing some fifteen pie cei
of artillery, afterwards the generals and staff wen
through the ranks expressing their admiration o
the military companies present After this the
companies marched in review before the genera
officers and gave equal satisfaction Several othe
manGuvres were gone through Of no public import
On the ground there were not less than 5000 per
sons, in addition TO the troops present; how they
got the information they best know. The Brook
lyn City Guard remain encamped on the old For
Green until this evening, when they entertain the
lair companions Sin arms" and such others o
their fair acquaintance as may honor them will
their company ito trip the light fantastic toe >
We almost forgot to observe on this occasion tn.
Brooklyn City Guard shoudered their new KNAPP
sack Of light Leopard skin, which had a mos
beautiful appearance, and was in exact uniform
| with the other parts Of their dress, and showed
them offto some advantage. If one company il
! to be called the sTigers," in consequence of thei
dress, this must be called the s'Leopards - but i
is to be hoped there will be no ''growling''-it il
quite unnatural, unbecoming Of civilized citizens
who have arms to defend themselves, without the
horrible shouts of wild beasts or savages.
