These five States cas-, 1875 600 votes in 1870 and
it appears that the Democratic gain has been up
wards Of Is per cent. The number OF votes cast IN
ls4O amounted to about l. 400 00O-i3 per cent. gain
on the whole would be $4,000, which would over
come Gen Harrsons majority Of las 900, and leave
balance OF $4,000 majority for Col Polk Besides,
there are some 200 900 anti-Bank Republicans who
supported Mr.. Tyler, who will not only not go for
Mr.. Clay, but will vote for Col Polk. This Will be
apparent in the State elections this fall preceding
the Presidential election. And why should 1t not re
soi When Mr. Tyler was denounced for his vetoes,
all the old Jack.onian Republicans who had voted
for him as an ant-Bank candidate, Immediately
abandoned the Wings, and the ensuing elections ndl-
Gated very plainly the feeble forces of the Bank par
w. Some twenty Of the States were carried by the
Democratic party every Tyler man heartily uniting
with it. And surely none of the Veto forces
will backslide hereafter, particularly as Mr.
Clay proclaimed his purpose to pursue them
with hot vengeance, in his notorious Lexington
speech. In electing him, they would be furnishing
the fuel TO burn themselves at the stake.
On the other hand, Polk and Dallas lave both
been the steady and consistent friends and support
ers of MIR. Tyler since the vetoes. On many
OCCASIONS, on the stump and elsewheIe, Col Polk
has nobly INDICATED the President against the as
saus Of his Clay sccusers. And notwithstanding
Mr.. Dallas has no, taken any active part IN politics,
he has often expressed his decided approbaiisn of The
Presidents course during the last three years la
short, from what we have known, and from what
we know We have no hesitation in saying, that, next
to Mr. Tycr, of all the great men Of the nation, the
friends of the Administration could not have made
better selection for their stsndatd bearer than JAMES
X. PoLx. or this we assure our friends without he
Laa hesitation.
Since writing the above, we have met with the
following editorial in yesterdays Richmond Enqui-
rer the day Of MIR. Tyler's withdrawal Although
the veteran editors wishes have been anticipated yet

DEMOCRATIC UNION
No, long since we ventured to express our opinion
about the great importance Of complete re-uno of
