PoLlTIcAL Recommendations BALTIMORE Con-
ysNrroNs-We perceive by John Jones, of the
Mudisoniam, and other Tyler sources, that great
preparations are making by the Tyler men per Sc,
in the States of Pennsylvania and Ohio, to hold al
so Baltimore Convention in the month of May,
and on the same day on which the regular Van Blu
rem Convention is to be held. Tyler meetings have
been held in Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania,
and delegates partly appointed TO meet there on
that day, for the purpose of Organising the party,
and nominating Captain Tyler for the next Presi-
dency, in opposition to Clay. Van Buren,, and any
other candidate that may be run.
This is most curious, amusing, original, phi
losophical, financial per Sc movement. We hardly
know whether our friend John Jones Is serious or
in Joke Sometimes we take him one way, and
sometimes the o:her. He is one OF the digest Jo-
kers in the country; sometimes we think we Will
laugh outright at him, and sometimes we think we
willcry. AT all events there will be third Con-
vention in Baltimore Mr.. Clay's friends hold
theirs in the beginning of May Mr. Van Buren's
supporters muster on the 27th and on that day al
so Mr. Tyler's friends meetto oppose them, and we
suppose that there will be half dozen additional
Conventions arranged before the month OF May
comes. AS for the Fourth of July Convention, 1t
seems to be knocked on the head completely. AS
the Clay Convention and the Van Buren, Conven-
ton can take care of themselves and it is pro-
bable that the Tyler party per Sc may want little
aid, we may be disposed to send our reporter there
and give them as much assistance as is In our pow
cr. They will want some before they get out OF
the woods. that's certain What they mean to do,
or how they mean to turn, or what direction they
mean to take after May, we do not know, nor is 1t
at all likely that they are themselves any better in
formed on these points
Seriously, however, we cannot help lamenting
that Mr.. Tyer-of the sincerity Of whose motives,
and the purity of whose patriotism, we cannot but
entertain the profoundest respect-should be sur
rounded with such influences persuaded him to
trust his destiny in such movement According
to all appearances, the whole effective forces of
the few Office holders, who are sincere, and the
numerous officc-seekers, who only want the spols,
will not be equal to 1.-THE, of the aboliuon
party in the free States. They will not raise a
single ripple on the surface of the two great move
ments of the wings and locofocos. And it is the
greatest hallucnation possible for any leader and
true friend of Mr.. Tyler to persuade him that there
is any chance of his nomination by any party /; or
any chance of his receiving justice by vote at
the polls The Justice which Mr.. Tyler will re.
ceive is that which will come after his retirement
from office, when men will calmly survey his adj
mnstration, and, undisturbed by the party excite
ment of the passing hour, will award 10 him the
need of honest purpose and patriotic endeavor II
he retire quietly from his administration after hav-
ing done the best he could for the great interests oil
the country, he will not go without his reward-a
reward UNNECESSARILY greater, and more enduring
han that which heated and selfish partizanshp be
voi.',oon its shackled, pledged and crlnging ia
wen IN alberto Mr.. Tyler has done REMARKABLE,
duped and dece. of points. He has been sadly
them, he has ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS; but, in spite o
rests of his country, both as"ch for the real int
welfare and its foreign policy; a. its domestl,
leaves his office he may add greatly to isfore h.
settling the Oregon question, and other leading all
important questions of the day.
The DEATH OF NICHOLAS BrpDLE-In anothe
part of tsis paper, we insert article giving Biz
graphical sketch of Nicholas Blddle late Presider
OF the United States Bank. His death came upo
us very Unexpectedly. We were not prepared fc
such sudden demise.
MIR. Biddle's career and character have some fes
lures which require good deal of calculation an
discrimination, in order to be properly understood
As private member of society he was Of tn
most accomplishments honorabe-most ami;
ble-and most courteous of men. As publ
man, in the Presidency of the United States Banl
he conducted its affairs, during the first years
its existence, with great skill, integrity, and pr,
dence. But as soon as the miserable, intriguing
corrupt politicians of both parties, got hold of hin
when he wanted re-charter, he went astray IA
Their and farther until the institution exploded an
strewed, as we have seen, the whole land with i
ruins The narrative of the receptions and dup,
ries which have been praclsed by these politician
on Mr.. Bidde, during his career, would surpa
anything ever written in any language, in the al
nails of intrigue and corruption. We do not doul
at all that the high and honorable feelings of M
Biddle revolted against the schemes of thes
wretches, and that the recollection of these dece
tons, practlsed on his unsuspecting nature, COZ
stantly pressing on his wounded spirit, were tn
main cause of his sudden and premature death.
Mr.. Biddlc has lett very fine family We tru.
ihatsome distinguished literary man of Philade
phia will give correct and full biography of MI
Biddle, including all the philosophy of his evcntfr
life, which was indeed full of lesson and moral.
RuMoRs OF DRrALcATIoNs.-A good deal of as

officers of the General Government in this city,
We believe these rumors premature. 1t is nc
