WITHDRAWAL or MIR. TYLER FROM THE
PRESIDENTIAL CANVASS.
In the second edition Of the Times of yesterday
laid before readers Mr.. Tylers letter of with
drswal which vii be found upon the fourth page Of
today We proud Of this letter. II is truly
noble production, and its perusal cannot fail TO
awaken IA the mind of every candid and rejecting
man feelings Of respect for the mind and heart of
tho distinguished author Even those partisan libel
crs who, IN the iulhment of their obnoxious task,

hsrt ieel some certain sDgs Of conscience as they
reflect upon the war which has been wsged against
the President, simply account Of his highminded
discharge of his public duties clearly and intelligent
y construed as shown forth in his letter, But when
the excitement and turmoil Of contemporary politics
has subsidized and been forgotten there will be but
Que opinion OF the document and ITS author Time
will indicate the latter and the former will be cher
shed of those sound and manly appeals TO
he mind and heart of the Republic Ol which De-
mocracy possesses already numerous golden ex-
amples
For own part, understanding thoroughly and
July approaching the pure motives, The lofty charac-
ter and cnl ghlened atesmanship of the President,
we hail The appearance OF this manly viDdicaton OF
himself and his Administration this noble evidence
OF sell sacrificing devotion, with feelings OF emotion,
pride and respect. 1t viii be a of graf
hcailon to TO reflect that in the darkest hour OF
the Presidents career, when The walls OF political
prescription poured forth upon his devoted head
when he stood forth almost slngy against torrent OF
outrage opposition and contumely, then fastened
among the first, enlist beneath his banner
IL was no holiday friendship that mpelled us to aban-
don our neutrality, and, along with others, to espouse
the cause OF Mr. Tyler, for all his friends shared in
the foul torrent OF abuse which poured forth
upon himself Denounced by the Whig', he had not
been, at The period OF which we speak, cordially re-
cognlzed and welcomed by the democracy, and the
result Of his independent course was yet undecided
Day by day, his position acquired more importance
III the eyes of the world and as his character was
more clearly developed, the charges OF his Toes more
iofclbly reiuted we began to form and cherish the
hope that he would be completely understood, and
uat with his name Inscribed upon their banners, the
democracy of the republic would march TO certain
triumph In the coming contest. And, though circum
stances have defeated certain of our expectations,
still we have seen the republican party OF the Union
awaken TO a sense OF his exalted merit and
through their most influential and respectable organs
accord to the and the principles of this Ad
ninistraton that need of communication they so no
bly, merit
Notwithstanding this, however, it can hardly be
denied that had Mr.. Tyler after being nominated as
Presidential candidate by convention Of Democra-
tic delegates ON all portions OF the Union chosen
10 submit his claims the people and abide by their
decision, he would have done nothing Inconsistent
with his Oh gations and position. He has, however
unequvochily withdrawn from the contest, thus clio
sing, by magnanmous and heroic act, long
reer OF public services, extending over the period
of his whole life, from the hour Of his early and
den, youth, to the present time of matured energy
and power
Nor doubt that this evidence Of chivalrous
honoi and lofty patriotism will be gratefully remem
heIed by the American people. The secluslon to

respect and remembrance of large portion Of his
fellow citizens will attend him to the peaceful shades
Of private life, where the occupations of husbandry,
tie grateful labors of scholarship, and the endear
monts OF domestic bliss, will afford a refreshing trans
iton from the storms Of political warfare and the In
ccssant cares Of government. This repose will be
sweetened by the reflection that he has discharged
every public duty, with uHwayerlng fdelty-that he
has sustained the honor of his country with unfinch
ing nerve-that he has laid PROSTATE the enormous
schemes OF Federal fraud and usurpation against
which Jackson warred through his whole public life
that he has defended the Contitution at the peril Of
his own peace and prospects--that he has awakened
public opmlon TO the Importance of eDlarging the dom
mons OF our country as barrier against foreign vio
lence and compettioD-hat he has our flag vind

res hourlshing, public deiauting put end to, and
peace and pro.periyestsbshed throughout the length
and breadth of our republic He will have also The high
grstIhcaton OF rejecting that he has placed in demo-
cratic hands those weapons wIth which the coming
political battle is 10 be fought and victory achievc Cd
every democratic triumph will be triumph of his
principles an a manifestation IN his favor; nor can
The period be- far remote when he will be azain sum
moned TO enlist his energies and talents IN the ser
of his countrmen
Recognising in the President the pure and lofty
patriot the enlightened statesman, the successful ne
otator, the elegan orator and scholar the uprie h
citizen, and the warm hearted friend, ii is not with
out the strongest emotion that speak or think
of has dgnIted retirement from the strife Of the Do

Ii will now be asked what course the friends Of the
President will atop at this juncture The answer
is readily made. The friends of the President W ID
