PRESIDENTIAL RACERs-RUMORs

On the 10th instant, the "Tyler Democratic
Central Committee" located at Washington, pub
lished Gan address to the Democratic Republicans
of the United States" calling Tyler Democratic
National Convention, to be holden at Baltimore on
the 18th Monday of May. Every county and district
in the Union is expected to send Tyler delegates.
The Committee attribute the recent locofoco de-
feats in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Massachu-
sets, Maryland, and Connecticut, to the unpopu-
larity Of Van Buren,, and proclaim John Tyler, I'M
der the flag of Annexation, the only man who
can save the ocofoco party. John, then, is to be
candidate at all events.
Mr. Calhoun. The last rumor about this gentle
man is, that his name will be up as a Presidential
candidate at the South, and will not be withdrawn.
Nh. Fan Buren,. 1t has been limited that if Vr-
gna goes against the locos, Van Bureu will be
dropped by the locos.
Gen JackSon. In connection with this, there
comes a rumor from the West Of project to run
Jackson for President and Van Buren, for Vice.
If elected--of which we have few fears-the old
lion would of course die or resign and leave the
reins to Van Buren,. foxy trick, indeed but
this fox is doomed to sour grapes.

THE BIG GUN At Mr.. CLAY,-AN OFFER.
Tho last Patriot has fired its big gun at Henry
Clay, announcing, in the most emphatic style, that
he is under $4,000 bonds not to break the peace by
fighting a duel !! 1t is not enough for us to say
that the Republic is SAFE" if Mr. Clay is elected
President since he is under heavy bonds to keep
the peace; but we have better answer ready to
come forth at minutes warning. We wish, how
ever, to give both parties full hearing and we
therefore propose to the Patriot editor as follows
zee will publish your last weeks account, if you
will agree to publish reply The reply shall
consist of an account OF the affair between Messrs
Clay and King, written at the time, and the speech
es of Preston Clay and King which concluded it.
Will you do it, neighbor Marston? Here's chance
to do the fair thing.

the Democrats, will make the requisite majority.

We give this as we find it, but we do not believe
that majority of the Senate would agree to such
resolution. To annex Texas by Treaty, with
two-thirds vote, is an abuse of the treaty-making
power, and surely it is worse yet to do the deed by
resolution.

In honorable contrast with the course of some
of the third party papers is the annexed extract
from the Emancipation edited by Mr. Leayitt:
"The Democratic papers Of the North are cir
culating these things, and trying to gain by de-
nouncng Mr.. Clay, although it is in evidence that
their leaders had trained Cilley for the duel in full
expectation that he would kill Graves, instead of
Graves killing him. And the whole party are out
in full cry against Mr. Clay for his dueng, when

| vast deal Of noise has been raised by Locofo-
co presses against the existing Wing Tariff, on the
ground that it does not sufficiently protect the far
mer. We have already exhibited the proposed Lo-
cofoco reduction of the duties on Wool; but still
farther to show their hypocrisy of the protested ia
vor to Agriculture, we give the annexed statement.
1t is worthy the attention of every Farmer, and
demonstrates the value of Locofoco professions.
Their Tariff proposes the following reductions from
the existing Wing Tariff;

These are part of the beauties of Locofoco
Protection, which, to use moderate terms, varies
very little from the Protection that half-staryed
wolf gives to the lambs of the flock.

Tariff received a hard knock in this House. On

with the Southern Free-Traders. OF the New
England Locos, voted aye, and voted no. All
the Vermont members voted no.
This vote casts a new doubt upon the passage of
this bill of abomnatons" but it may be forced
through the House by applying the party lash to
the Locos. So be it, say we: let the Locos toethe
mark and carry out their ciples-lct both par
ties do it; and then the people will fairly try the
issue. For once we would like to see Locofocoism
fight fairly and honestly. They have good chance
now: If they will pass this bill, the Wing Senate
will at once knock it in the head; and the People
will decide between them. We do not believe the
Locos dare be honest, though.
