sTILLFURTHER FROM THE PEOPLE

TYLER MEETING IN HARTFORD.
On the 10th instant a Tyler meeting was
held in Hartford, Connecticut, Joseph Pratt in
the chair, to choose delegates to the Distric,
Tyler Convention to be held on the 9Th inst
in that city.
| Among the resolutions we find these plain
and honestly spoken ones:
Resolved, That The movements of the people in the
States Of Ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia
New Jersey, Now York and Massachusetts,, in favor
of John Tyler have aroused his early and firm friends
in this State to do their whole duty, which we en-.
gage shall be done fearless of dicaton or political
maDGuvrng Of any party.
Resolved, That we fully approve of the Dcmocra-
tic Tyler Convention to be holden at Baltimore on
the 9th Of May next
Resolred, That class Of men in this State should
be 50 much avoided and despised by all honest citi
zens, as those political traitors who by false preen-
ces, have wound themselves into the confidence of
the President-procured his Offices only to abuse the
trust reposed and betray him into the hands of bis
opponents.
Resolved, That the late elections in the States of
Maryand and Connecticut, unerring evidences
that Mr.. Van Buren, is not the on whom to unite
the great democratic vote but on the other hand
every political move OF the democratic party goes to
indicate decided preference for honest John Tyler
1t is therefore the duty Of the democratic party to
nominate John Tyler to the high Office he now occu-
pies.
GREAT TYLER MEETING IN OLD
HANOVER, VIRGINIA.
On the 9th instant a great Tyler meeting
was held at Cold Harbor, in the county of Han
over, Virginia, the birth place of Henry Clay
himself, Major w. Atkinson in the Chair
Here are some Of the resolutions, full of energy
and truth
Viewing the present contest of parties a. some
thing more to tho country than the restoration of men
to Office from which they were hurled by the solemn
judgment Of the people, and believing that the people
are not prepared to admit that they were duped By
stratagem in 1910, or that they acted blndly--
1. Resolved, therefore, That we recommend to tho
consid, ration Of the people of tho United States
John Tyler the candidate for the Presidency in
1914.
2 Resolped That we have been attentive listeners
TO many debates since the spring campaign COM
menced, and that our orators, though powerful in
intellect though dwelling with arguments upon our
principle: overshadowing all, all the miserable trash
OF our adversares labor under dsad vantages incon-
cevsble, in tho blighting influence of the nane of
MIR. Van Buren,.
,. ResoIrtd, That as freemsn. a. Democrats, "a
mon who hight for great and fundamental principles
We soemnly invoke the politicians Of our party to
pause, ere be too late, in their mad career TO rea-
son this matter Of candidate with w. to reflect
upon the inevitable defeat which awaits us with Mr..
Van Buren,, and turn their eyes towards some other
candidate upon whom could all unite; bearing
with him the certainty Of glorious victory.
4. RESOLVED, That our preferences are decidedly
for John Tyler. When we reflect upon tho many
sacrifices he has made for democracy--when
fleet on the beautiful consistency Of his whole life
but above all, when we reflect his moro than Ro-
msn 6rmnsss--in putting his constitutional veto on
that monster UMisd States Bank, and crushing tho
offspring Of mooeyed arstocrscy who would ride
