There are three distinct errors in the above
We are not '.at work on a third party" we
do not desire 10 see third party. we are
merely laboring TO organize and consolidate the
Democratic friends Of Mr.. Tyler, who deem II
but s'justiceo that, inasmuch as his Democratic
acts (parlicularly his Vetoes,) caused all the
Federal artillery TO play upon his head, The
entire Democratic party should rally round
the one so furiously assalled-and assaied be-
cause of his Vetoes, which sdred the party from
destruction If the Democratic organs and
friends of Mr.. Van Buren,, or Mr. Anybody
else, shall draw line between the Veto friends
of Mr. Tyler and themselves, il will be their own
act. So far from desiring third party, we on
" desire 10 sare the st,al Republican party
We kno,r ii cannot be saved again, if The man
who saved il in 1871 be denounced by il. To
be successful, the party must 6r,i be JUST.
We have never assailed Mr. Calhoun, and
we never shall 1t is all a fabrication. His
gigantic intellect, spolless moral purity ac-
knowledged patriotism, and unsurpassed states
manship. must ever command the esteem
and admiration of the American People
II is also untrue Gn the sense in which
il is used) that the Madsonian 'slorifes Mr.
Rives" We esteem Mr.. Rives as we do Mr.
Calhoun. His great abilities, patriotism and
craftsmanship, challenge the admiration OF al
men. We need have nothing 10 do with his
choice between men. He defended the vetoes
Of the President, in the Senate, most nobly, and
agrees with him on The tariff question. Mr.
Rives might, and perhaps would, in certain
contingency, support candidate for whom we
could never vo,e--bul even that m ght be done
without an abandonment Of his principles. Mr.
Rives may support what man he pleases-yet we
know him 10 be no advocate of National Bank
or of prohibitive tariff, or Of Abolition, &C.
A distinction should be made between the appro
baton of mans principles, and the individual
he may, in certain contingency be forced &c

These sketches OF the creeds Of Republican

the present, however, let IL be granted that THIS
deneaton oil creeds is correct. For what Pur-
