will refer your readers, who may doubt the con-
sti,u'ionahy of acquiring territory, to the following
extract from fuckers Life Of Jefferson, which is to
be found in the Library of Congress, chapter 4, No

the ancient champion of a la,itudnous construction
of the Constitution, of opinion that no power eI-
lists in our Government to cede territory, except TO
Indians from whom we may have acquired it, The
extract here appended speaks volumes, and puts TO
light the thousand and special pcadings made on
this branch Of the Texas question, by the Anglo
Americans Webster, and Gales & Sva,on.

ing. Resolutions passed.
Resolved, That we should unite our efforts on that
individual who is most likely to ensure success to

ende rcd himself TO the Republican party for his We
toes Of the United States Bank hills We therefore
recommend him TO political brethren as our can
didate for the Presidency
Resolved, That we highly approve OF the efforts
now making for the annexation OF Texas 10 the

Resolp,d, That we esteem John Tyler, both in

Il would be contrary TO the tenor Of MIR. Cloya
whole life, not TO give his cordial appreciation on
aid TO any honorable effort made to the t.
rtorial boundaries for the integrity Of which he su
nobly commended. IL We have not placed a wrong as
innate upon the magnsnmity OF MIR Clay's dhposi-
ton, he is not possessed Of the palty smbiton and
the still more paDiry jealousies that seem 10 atct TO
small number OF his lap service partisans How can
he then be opposed 10 the favorable arrang emtu,s
in the power Of the country, for the restoration
Of the territory which he contended in the Hall Of
Representatives rightful property, and which
member Of the Cabinet, he did his utmost to re-
gain' What are the present negotiations but tie
contamination under more propitious Circumstance,
than he could command, Of his owAzeaous and pa
triotic efforts
MIR Clay has been uniformly advocate for the
integrity and nvioability Of the territory Of the Re
public Ii not for tho true western boundary Of
ouisiana alone that he conteDded. For the PerddO
or true eastern line, lie made OF his abes earl,
efforts in Congress, demonstrating the right of tie
country to claim that line, and urging the immediate
occupation of it by the government We are greatly
mistaken in his character II IN the present natorl
question he be not true to his former principles.

Before thi, reaches you, you will have heard OF
the result Of municipal election. The Wing
ticket has succeeded by large majority majority
not anticipated by the Wings themselves.
At the election Of city and county officers in 1912
the Democrats had a large majority, although, in
1910, the Wings were G or 500 ahead At the city
election in Is43. the Democrats again success
ful in the election Of Mayor.
VIVA, has wrought tins change Have Wings in
creased and Wing principles become more popular
within the last year is it not the result Of the
distractions which have been growing up in the De-
mocra,ic party during the last Year,
The latter is no doubt the cause. Col. Benton
visited Missouri year ago. and made it understood
that his abominsble, snti-Democratic measure. Of
State policy should be adopted by the party in this
State, and that Mr. Van Buren, and all his old off
cals should be restored to the places and power from
hch they had been hurled in 1910, by fools knayes
and drunkards.
Col. Johnson was no man at all in his estimstion--
Mr.. Tyler had hardly common sense or common
honesty and he would not supper, Mr.. Calhoun even
IL nominated In addition to this he found he could
not make Col Penn Of the Reporter, draw 10 his
(Col R) traces. and therefore sent forth the edict
that he was no Democrat, !" and must be put dozen"
All these ou,rases the part of Col Benton have,
as you have SEEN been resisted by portion Of the
Democratic party, and the consequence is that the
party is divided into cliques, and the bitsres host.

flowing from those acts cali upon the united
Democracy TO come up 10 the good Work undef
President Tyler Resolutions adopted. They
breathe The right and indomitable spirit OF Ty-
Ter men.
Rssolrsd That the Republican party owe il to their
prDcipcs and to him who has successfully upheld
aud defended them Chief Magistrate for the last
three years, that JoHs TYLER be selected as their
candidate for the Presidency in 1874 believing that
he is the only man who can concentrate the sehoie
Republican VOTE and thereby save the country from
the sway of Federalism, and place the parry on the
platform of 80 aud 80.
Resolved, That we heartily concur with our friends
in Ohio Pennsy wanna, Maryland, Virginia and Hi
nois in the importance OF holding National Demo
cratic Convention al Baltimore, the 9th Of May
next.
Resolred That we, the friends Of John Tyler, pro-
test in the name OF truth and justice, against the ef
forts made 10 Laasr 10 others the credit due TO him
the eminently successful manner in which he has
administered the Government, under circumstances
decessors.
Resolved, That W. view with contempt the efforts
made by parisans TO withhold from President Tyler
the need of praise due him for the settlement OF the
question Of our Northeastern boundary; the ADJUST
ment of our claims upon Mexico the termination OF
the Florida war the saving of the proceeds of the
public lands the nation the banshing OF deiaulters
from The public service, and other acts oequal impol
| lance TO the country.
| Resolved, That view with indignation the al
lemp,s be ng made by jealous rivals and their
partisans withhold the merit due president Tyler
for his efforts settle the remaining question of dle
renee with Great Britain to wit the Oregon question
aud to obtain the alton Of Texas TO the United
States.
| Resolved, That in view Of the signal defeat Of Mr.
Van Burcn ia 1910, we reg ard it unwise and i'm
polite to place him again before the people as csndi
date for the Presidency.
Resolved, That the Republican party can safely ant
properly rally upon John Tyler, one whose lii'
affords a sure guarantee that he will carry out the
principles, if elected to the Presidency.
Resoired, That John Tyler is and ought TO be thu
legitimate political antagonist of the National BsnI
candidate he did in iS4i by his single arm rescue
the Republican party from demolition, amid the as
saults Of the whole Bank parry.
Resolved, That cri is has arrived when every
Southern and Western man should speak out IN Ian
guage not TO be misunderstood, on the all absorbing
questions of the occupation Of Oregon and the an
nexaton Of Texas; and that cannot sustain any
mans claims to Office under the national government
