tho banner of one OF the candidates Tor the rresl'
dency and said that the country must choose between
the two. After protesting that any man shouio DC
put forth by the great Democratic party as the can
didate for the Presidency TO reap the beneht OF
Tyl.ra vetoes and other public acts he concluded oy
contendng that the issue of the approaching confess
of 1874 was upon the question of Bank or no BANK!
and the preservation OF the conservative power VI '
Veto or It's eradication from the constitution IN act
whether the country itself and its insitu IONS were
be preserved or destroyed and ne thought the duly
Of the Democratic party stand Ivy the man no had
welded this conservative power fol the benefit OF the
people. These remarks were loedly cheertd
The committee TO draft resolutions then appeared,
and BY its Chairman, Major Andrews, submitted the
result of its abors which were read and adopted by
reclamation.
These resolutions nominate John T, ler as the can
didate of the Convention for the Presidency OF the
United Ststes-enuncate the principles upon the
maintenance of which, in his public acts ther Preie
renee is founded-speak OF the necessity oil drawing
the lines Of difference between the Wing and Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency which they con-
tend can be done only when Mr.. Tyler IS the ca.di-
date of the latter and caution the Democracy oil the
country against entering the contest OF 1874 under
the comma nd of the beaten leaders OF lS4O. The
resolutions take strong ground in opposition 10 Ma
tional Bank and In favor of sustaining The present
Veto power and they also contain an expression oil
thanks to President Tyler for recommending and
those Democratic members Of Congress who voted To
refund the foe imposed on Andrew Jackson by
Judge Hall, in 1915. The Oregon question, and that
of the admission ofTexas into the Union were also
noticed in a decided tone.
After these resolutions had been disposed OIL The
President Of the Convention was called upon to APP
point, at his leisure, corresponding committee oil
twenty-sx, and the committee, when appointed, was
instructed TO prepare address to the people oil te
United States snd was also authorized to appoint
deleR ates to National Convention 10 De heu, as re-
commended in one ofhe lutions, at Baltimore on
the fourth Monday in May next The Convention
then adjourned with nine loud cheers for John Tyler
and Democracy.
II will be seen from the above that the
friends of the Administration in Pennsyl-
vania have yielded one point 10 their Re
publican brethren in Ohio, and we doubt
not the friends of the President in Ohio
will reciprocate the compliment by yielding 10
the Pennsylvania Convention in one particular
as 10 the time of the assembling of the Ma
,ional Convention.
II will be recolIecled by our friends that the
Ohio Convention recommended Baltimore
al the place, and the lst day OF June as
the time, for the National Convention TO be
held. The Pennsylvania Convention, 1t will
be seen by the report from the Ledger, have
agreed TO 60 to Baltimore instead Of perssting
in the proposition originating in New York in
favor of Philadelp ha-and suggest the fourth
Monday in May, instead of the LIST Of June, as
proposed by the Ohio Convention. We have
not doubt that our friends in Ohio will concur
entirely in the proposition Of their brethren in
Pennsylvania, ipasmuch as the New York
movement, it is now apprehended, may not be
calculated to procure justice for the President.
The friends Of Mr. Tyler, in justice to him
and 10 themselves, cannot permit the Admins
tra,ion to be put on trial before the American
People, 10 a contest between Mr.. Clay and any
other candidate than Mr.. Tyler himself. Ift3e
action Of the Van Buren, Convention should
pressn, such an alternative, they would necessa-
riy be forced to take INDEPENDENT, ExcLu-
srvr, aud AorrvIpa part in visprcATIoS OF the Ad-
mins,ra,ion, in the campaign of 1874. And
hence the obvious necessity Of the National
Tyler Convention proposed by our friends in
Pennsy lvania and Ohio.
Now that the States Of Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania have started the ball, we arc assured il
will roll successfully through all the States-
We have every reason 10 believe that the friends
and supporters Of the Administration will ap-
poin, delegates IN every Stale TO meet in Con
vcnlion al Baltimore on the fourth Monday Of
May next. The action Of that Convention will
be supported by the Administration. President
TYLER will doubtless suffer his friends TO make
