TYLER AND TEXAS HARD TO BEAT.

4" Mr. Clay could not improve the administration
f public affairs render the country happy
and pro porous. Tie wheels Of Government are
IN successful operation, and toe People about
well coniented as ever they were. "-.Mudisoaian,
June 20.
Ma. EpIroR In this short paragraph, you have,
with great felicity Of phrase brought the subject
within the compass of nutshell. Every rejecting
man, who is at heart patriot, viii acknowledge the
truth of your assertion, and the safety ofthe douby
fortified position you have taken in offending the
Chief Magistrate. But when you affirm that Mr..
Clay could not improve the Administration,
der the country happy and prosperous" you
surely did not mean TO say that Mr.. Polk could ac-
complish more than Mr.. Tyler has done' What is
it that the President has DONE which an honest
man coud ass ~ TO promote the leading interests and
permanent eliare Of the ope' lie has had no
party to back him. and TO cheer him amidst the
thousand difficulties and embarrassments by which
he has ever been environed The cardinal princi-
plies Of the Constitution aud the honest dictates Of
his own conscience, have been his faithful and uner
ring councillors. These have lever failed to she'd
the clear,st light upon his course, when the
opinions Of self and failhless politicians might have
led him into irretrievable His career as
Patriot Statesman will challenge the admiration Of
the candid the viruous, aud the wise and when the
thick clouds Of blind prejudice and imprisoned vi
tuperston sh be dispersed bs the returning light OF
reason and calm reflection, the honest and enighten
ed of all parties will hasten to award to an injured
aud prosecuted Patriot, their h CHEST comme ndation
( and spontaneous applause.
! In the course of my perambulatons through many
Of the States, / have obsery the deep interest
which the People have shown in the welfare and
succe of the man who has stood up almost alone in
def nee Of their dearest lights and the great Incl.
piles Of free Government. YET, IL i. a remarkable
f.ct they have been so long controlled and dir cted
by those who termed tie leading men, that they
frequently Undue to ebder their own honest
c nyicuons and preferences in order TO keep the old
party machinery in motion. Thus we see that the
late Van Buren, aiis, anti-Van Buren,, ala, anti
Tyler Convention, did nothing than AIRY out
the factious designs Of the aspiring and arbitrary
leaders Of the Democracy, and not the piH Of the
sovereign People, that Convention have rashy sci
forth TO the world. II an enlightened community fail
to oppose such proceeding and TO resist deep and
dark-concerted movemen so fraught with dan
ger TO the Democatic cause, they will render them
selves more obnoxious than to the reprosch-
ful aud humiiotng charge Of their utter inca
poeify for self-gove nment. Ever since the
memorable sess OF the ve,ocs, President Ty-
Ter has enjoyed iull measure of the popular SYM
patty and confidence and # the corrupt political
managers would lie, the People alone, and suffer
them quietly to express and to carry cut their own
wishes, they never would have thought Of any other
than John Tyler as the Democratic candidate in
opposition to Henry Clay. As General Jackson whose
influence is tower Of strength to the Republican
party, and is second only to the voice Of the People
and their sacred Constitution, has soem1ly declared
that this is the golden moment for annexlng Texas
to the Unon,n so 'now is the accepted timer for
convincing the naughty Monarchs Of the car b. that
free and enlightened People can and wiu govern
themselves. The election Of John Tyler will const-
tute the most signal and glorious popular triumph
the world has ever witnessed. And il they do not
rise up at once, IN all their sjcsty, and indicate
their sovereign rights and proud supremacy in sus-
tanning the public servant who has pcricd all for the
honor and prosperity Of his country, le, them pre-
pare to write IN advance their own eptaph, some
