MR. TyLER's wITHpRAwAL.-Mr. Tyler has withdrawn from the Presidential canvass, His let ter, announcing the fact, is upon our fourth page. We commend its pensal to every one. IL is able
 eloqnent--and. above all it is truthful. Those who know us, know very well the high estimation in whichwe have ever held the talents, the integrity and the patriotism of John Tyler. He has never done but act to disturb faith in him. and that was his temporary association with the Wings, in lsio. His subsequent course has amply aloned for that obiquity; and sincere in the belief that few men have ever lived to whom the country owes heavier debt of gratitude, than to John Tyler utraists of both parties have grossly misrepresened and traduced'him. The s'sober second thought" of the people will do him justice. The Whig papers afraid to publish his letter-the National Inte- gencer has refused. Ii contains plain statement of truths which the Wings are afraid to circulate. Let Democratic papers spread it before the people.

RELATIVE PoslTIoNs.-The editor of the Ga zette, wrhng under the ustcastigation it has been our duty to inaiet upon him, for his slandcr upon Gov. YELL, thus holds forth:
 "With such nature as he possesses, it is impos- sible for us to maintain with him that courtesy, which our relative positions would seem to demand, and which marks the course of editors in other States, towards each other.
 Poor fellow And so he desires to change our ''relative positions" We have no doubt oft Nor is this the first instance, by sereral of which he re- tains feeling remembrance, when such desire was so strong within him, that he would have given all his worldly possessions, and one of his ears oto boot to gratify it.

 Nor is t less favorable and cheering from the sc- yera States. The Democratic papers come to us, from all quarters. oyerfowing with the evidence of Democratic enthusiasm, and Democratic triumphs.

THE COMING ELECTION.

The prospect of carrying the State of Virginia
by the Wings at the election on the 2s inst, is
Frightening every day. We no longer doubt that
the Wings will carry decided majority of the
House of Delegates. while we hope that the ma
jority in that body will be large enough to orerbel'
ance the Loco Foco majority in the Senate, aud
give the Wings the majority on joint vote The
Wing party throughout the State are looking to the
Importance of the election OF Senator in Congress

the degree of attention which its absorbing impor-

agitation We regard exceedingly unfortunate
while we totally distrust the motives OF its sita-

by other means, has raised this question a last
and forlorn hope Of attracting party TO his sup
port.
