We publish to-day Mr.. Tyler's address, to hi,
friends throughout the Union" in which he retires
from the position he had been placed in as a candi-
date for the Presidency. His address is an able and
well-wrtten commentary his admins traion of
the Government. There is also a showing of can.
dor and impartIality which do him in6pe credit
We ask OF our readers candid perussl of the doc
ument, and comparison Of its statement. with the
facts OF the case. Mr. Tyler claims for himself the
credit Of having administered the Government upon
the rule Of strict construction which he had ali his
life protested. and which was known TO the Wbip
party which elected him TO the Wee Pre-, idency He
claims for his diplomatic intercourse wi olher ma

We feel therefore free to reierate what we have all

OF the ablest and most upright which our history has
produced. II is not possible that should agree
with every act OF his IN the details Of three Years
official duty but II il fixed TO the one act the
treaty for Texas, his administration would set in a
halo Of glory. The Senate which rejected that
treaty may have an opportunity Of retracing that
m,Seuided and unfortunate step; but should the
loss oil Texas result from that act Of rash FOLLY the
scorn Of future generations, will be the reward of
every man who voted against the treaty.

~. AT a Wing mass meetiDg near Wellsyille,
Ohio, Col John A. Rogers, distinguished and tai

taton, to address the assemblage, which be did at
length With tho magnsnimty characteristic OF an
honorable opponent, he prefaced his remarks by
stating that 1t proper for him to declare THAT
Col. Polk, AS A MAN AND GENTLEMAN, HAD NO sU-
PERIoR THAT HE HAD KNOWN HIN in PRIVATE LIFE,
AND SERVED WITH HIM IN THE LEGISLATIVE HALL /;
THAT, IN POINT OF TALENT, HE HAD FEW EQUALS,
AND INTEGRITY OF CHARACTER WAS ABOVE sUs-

This testimony, from aeghbor and warm polit-
cal opponent of Col Polk, took the leading coons all
aback. Some of them wore he was a id fool
TO make such admissions; and many more puz-
zed 10 account for it They could not conceive that
man could be Wing without being traducer,
and quite put out of counlenance by the honest
and manly course Of their own invited champion. 1t

ASTONISHING EFFECT OF ELEcTRcITY IN CURING
HYsTERicAL LOCKED JAw.--The following account
OF the efficacy Of this extraordinary remedy, we
should do wrong in Withholding, though it should ne
yer again prove effective. We have the account from
some friends who CHANGED to be present, and
the patient eating the first meal she had taken in five
days, few minutes after the spasm had ceased
She had been previously nouriShed by drawing mix
through the apperures of the closed teeth through
which the edge Of knife could be passed with the
greatest difficulty The young woman was thus af-
feced in consequences OF exposure to cold and fatigue,
and was completely recovered by the Electro Gal
yanic apparatus applied TO both angles Of the jaw
The machine had not made forty revolutions, when
the jaw opened to its full and natural width. We
learn that il has been successfully applied for many
nervous diseases in the eye; also, case OF poi
soning by laudanum where two entire ounces had
been swallowed. In this the patient was Teviv-
ed by the machine, and collapsed alternately, during
five hours, the Intervals becoming shorter till speech
was re-establshed Curveture of the spine has also
yielded to its power. Indeed its proper application
varied diseases of general debility and rregu
lar nervous action. 1t was applied by Or. +. II.

MR.. CLAWS GENERAL ORDERS


MR.. CLAY'S GENERAL ORDERS
Choosing ihe United Stats Gazette as the medium
OF his communication TO the public, aud speaking in
his notice some remarks OF ours, published week or
lsn days ago.
But we now come to the real objec, of this publ
cation ia the Gazette, and that object is clearly
| enough stated in the last paragraph
That paragraph is this
''The Harrisburg Convention, composed, as il was
OF large majority Of sound, patriotic Claymen, and
also OF portion Of those eantins gentlemen, who
thought there never worthy candidate as
MIR Clay, but 'we eanr elect him {" will be beacon
| to the Wing party hereafter. The people are
| nominating Henry Clay; and National Convention
VIII be only necessary, like that at Baltimore TO
show public feeling, aud give foretaste oil the action
al the ballot box"
These are Mr. Clay's GENERAL ORDERS, and it
was chiefly to get an opportunity to issue these, that
Mr. Clay honored this paper with his notice.
Here is not only the object stated, but the mode of
pursuing tina, object rs also clearly pointed out Mr.
Clay to be the Wing candidate at the next election
at all events. There is 10 be NO NOMINATING CON
vEs11oN Clay Clubs, called by him the People," are
it; and the only Of Convention will be, like
that at Baltimore, 4" 10 aoW public feeling, and give
toreiaste Of the action at the ballot bor."
Here is programme Of The whole campaign it
was to commence and carry on this campaign, as We
have repeatedly stated that Mr. Clay left the Senate
He retired that he might at once rush upon active
operations. The repose which he sought, was the
commencement of new strife; and he has left be-
hind him, in his article GtNERAL ORDERS, issued by
himself, for the observance Of his followers No no.
minatng convention no comparison of opinions; no
mutual consultations no calculation of the chances
| of success no, nothing of all these; nothing but
Clay clubs to nominate and Ba tinore Contention TO
confirm. A Baltimore Convention. However high
he attempts to tread, it is Mr. Cays fatality to STUN
ble Another Baltimore Conventional What pre-
| ence to the Baltimore Convention Of 1881. Why,
does not all the world know the utter and ruin
| which overlook the whole Wing party, when the first
Baltimore Convention embed, not TO deliberate,
TO nominate, but only "to show public feeling, and
give foretaste of the action of the ballotbox" and
echo the nomination of Mr. Clay as the Wing can
didate Does not everybody know that the conse-
quence to the Wings was sort Of .9Gshanislan mas

And yet Mr.. Clay will have nothing el-e than ano-

The effect of these great meetings Of the multitude
passing to and fro in vast numbers, and making the
foresslrng with their enthusiastic cheers--is one oil
the great points of our patriotic campaign. The
sLEEPERs must be awakened -MoDERArE MEN must
be aroused from their lethargy-the patriotism OF our
patriotic people must be enlvened to the Importance
of extending the blessings of repubIicansm 10 our
brethren and sisters of Texasthe designs of Adams
Webster Clay and their advisers, must be- exposed at
all points-and the cries Of - Union and Texas"
Polk and Democracy" should ring in loud and
patriotic chorus from every crowd. The example OF
ShelbyvIlle is worthy of imitation.

The next Governor.

Public meetings have been held in most of
the Counties, and The papers Throughout, the
Stale, have mostly declared their preference,
for the Whig candidate for Governor From
those indications, we gather, that the Hon. John
Banks, of Berks, William Heis,er, of Lancas-
ter, Gen. Markle, of Wcs,moreland, and Gen.
Irwin, of Centre, are the mos, prominent COM
peiilors. The County meeting, on Tuesday
next, will no doubt designate The man who is
the choice of the Wings of Monroe.
