Not For Tyler.

The Irvington Citizen, a supporter
of the May convention, says:
The Governor announces his candi-
dacy for the US. Senate in oppposi-
ton to Senator Martin. He thinks
the boat has come to his wharf and
he has determined to board it. In our
Judgment the craft will never land on
Senatorial shores. The present governor
of Virginia has little to commend him
for further support to the people of his
state outside Of the few political plums
he has had to distribute. He cannot
ask suppost Of the May convention peo'
pie because he was as silent as sphynx
upon this score.

Tippecanoe to make the welkin ring, his
name might not 90 down to earth as
