EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM OHIO.

AT no former period has the Presidents
popularity increased so rapidly among the Peo-
ple as within the last few weeks. The opinion
begins to prevail that he will be the only Demo
cratic candidate. Many heretofore, the most
decided friends of Mr. Van Buren, now admit,
that he can not be elected, and do not hesitate
to express their conviction that Mr. Tyler is the
only man that can defeat Henry Clay "Push
formard that column" and certain triumph
awaits the cause Of truth and justice. The
flag Of John Tyler is now nailed TO the mast.
Let me say to our friends at the centre. tha,
they must be not only active but vigilant-
most wide awake. We must guard against the
Vaccinations of our enemies. They will not
hesitate to adopt any and every means to defeat
us. Already coming events are Swallowed
forth at this remote point Some very especial
friends begin to give il out that propositions are
made to them, 70 drop Van Buren, and TYLER
and select some other as compromise capdi,
date. We reply, that the friends Of Tyler have
nothing TO compromise. We boldly assume The
position that the nomination Of John Tyler by
the Democratic Tyler Convention to meet in
Baltimore on the 9Th Of May, is no longer an
open question, and that proposition TO nomi-
nate any other person cannot be entertained BY
that Convention
