MR. TYLER'S WITHDRAWAL.
We give this mo ming entire the admirable letter
oil President Tyler addressed TO his friends through
out the Union, announcing them that he has ceased
TO be candidate for the Presidency. II is an anle
and eloquent document and places in a strong lrlt
the difficulties with which the Administration had 70
contend, the faithful and successful manner in which
II performed lis duties, and the benefits il has con.
lerred on the country. Mr.. Tyler's career has Ger
tainly been extraordinary one Nominated for
the Vice Presidency merely TO servei as the net TO
catch birds Of the State ghts feather he became
IN the hands Of Providence, the means of pu.
lshing the Federalis party for their hgh-handej Al,
tempt to caJole the people into their measure
amid singing and carousng. They succeeded in de.
eeiyng them so far that they elected their candidate.
What General Harrison would have done if Prov.
dence had spared his life can only be coniectred -
when he was removed from his high position ii was
fortunate Tor The country fortunate perhaps for many
generations yet unborn, that MIR. TYLER succeeded 10
the Presidency. Almost any other man in his place
would have esred TO face snch an overwbslmng ma.
Jori'y as the Wings then had in Congress He would
have gone on with the lide-he would have welded

which cannot be too much eItoed, President T,Icr
interposed his constitutional power as the great tr
bune OF the people, 10 prevent violations Of our Fed
eral compact. II Mr. Tyler had not vetoed ,,
Bank bill, no one can surmise what would nov
have been the condition ofthis country, or where the
march towards consolidation, once begun, would
have ended. To him the whole country, and parii-
culafy The Republican party, owes a deep debt Of
Bsu'ude IN our hour OF sorest trial he inspired us
with new hopes, and babe us not to desp,ir Of tie
Republic. The treaties, too, which have been ne.
gotsted under his auspices, will ever remain monu-
