A PRECIOUS viLLatN.-About three weeks
since a chap calling himself Wiyell, arrived
at Shelbyyille, KY. and asked an introduction
to the Presbyterians Of the place, announcing
Himself a minister, and the congregation being
without 4 regular preacher, proposed filing
the pulpit. On The first Sabbath after bis ar
rival, hs went into The house Of worship, and
Immediately walked into the pulpit. His dis
course pleased the members Of the church,.
On the next Sabbath be made four discourses;
all denominations went to hear him, aad all
who heard praised him. Wivell is a man Of
talent and breaches we'll. Soon after, however,
the members Of the church were astolnded
with chagrin and modification to learn that
the man was q base scoundrel-a diabolical
wretch He bad charge Of a Baptist conrre-
CATION at Scotch Plains, M which was taken
from him and he accommodated for his VII

Democrats, aud dislike for Mr. Van buren, should
not induce to allow the Clay wings to carry the
State. This should have been thought Of at the State
Convention at Middetown which nominated the
ticket which we now called upon to support
But that Convention could make no allowance for
Van Burens unpopularity in this State, but must
needs pass resolutions eulogizng him, and instruct
ing their Baltimore delegates to vote for him, and
him alone. Under these circumstances, IL is not the
duty Of the Tyler men, to assist in securing Van
Buen victory for the poor privilege of being kicked
and cuted about qfer election. Your advice is cor
rect-that we should have nothing to do with VIC
tory or defeat" The Democratic party in Connec-

Election, and the duty Of the friends of Mr. Tyler
They il to themselves to staId aloof from both
parties in this contest We have only to look over
The files Of the Hartford Times and some other Van
Buren, papers, about the time Of the two last cleo
tons for State officers, and compare the soft words
which they used towards the Tyler men, when their
rotes were indspepsablewi, the naughty, insolent

REPUBLICANS, BE ON YOUR GUARD,

No man should be nominated for the Presi-
dency by the Republican party who cannot be
elected This is but an act of justice TO John
Tyler. The party, after everything which the
sold Bank killer" has done to protect the Con
suulion from Federal desecration, has no right
indirectly 10 aid in the election of Mr. Clay,
his bitter personal and political enemy. Ii is
not justice. We ask the country if it is justice,
exact justice? We ask for no liberaiity, no
generosily-we say it is not justice. He is
traitor to his country, who, fearing lest his per-
sonal ends may not be secured by the election
of another man, prefers Van Buren's nominal
ton, even if he be defeated.
We perceive that the Democratic papers all
over the country are raising shout over an
election in New Orleans, and another in Cleave-
land, Ohio, which have gone for The Republi-
can ticket. Neither the country at large, nor
the People of the party, must be deceived by
these false lights. We hold it to be our duty
to expose error if it may lead to defeat. Mr. Clay
must not be elected the nert President, if he can
be defeated by the nomination of suitable can
dldate. Every Tyler man in New Orleans, the
Republican," the Tyler paper of that city, and
every member of the Tyler Association, voted
for Mr.. Slidel, the Democratic candidate
These men cannot all be persuaded to vote for
Mr. Van Buren,. Besides there were 500 new
votes received at the polls, and made for this
especial election. With all this aid Mr. SIidell
is elected by 4l5majority. The last canvass of
the city showed, without the 800 new votes
polled, Wing majority of so. The result
proves an actual loss of strength. 1t is folly
TO hide the truth when error conducts to defeat
Al Cleaveland, in Ohio, the Tyler men cleo ted
the ticket We challenge denial Of The
fact.
We should not have made these remarks but
for the progress of the late election in New
York The Plebeian generally so loud in pro-
claiming victory, is dead silent-it has not one
poor word of hope or triumph. We subjoin the
result so far as ascertained. AS the State went
in 80, under precisely the same auspices, it il,
going now:
