MIR. TYLER -.

: we cannot lay the preceding Communication he
iofe our Readers, without expressing the r,sr4,
hirh we feel at Governor Tyler's still! .!ecinino
10 publish ms letter to Mr.. Clay. The abstract
which he has published OF lis content. canno, ad..
qia ely supply the place OF the oIginal 1t is no,
me mere appetite of newspaper Editors" I'm,
me opinion oil Inc people, which lie is TO consult
We aie satisfied hat isr are already
afoat winch nothing but Ihe letter Itself is calcu
lated 10 arrest. " misplaced ,elicacv can thor,
be IN tins business! Why should he object 10 il.
publications? Il there be any ollier person NAMED
IN That letter, which MIR. L. is unwilling 10 cha
ractetIse - lie may have done, why not strik.
Out 'e name, or the sentence in which is intro
juced- assigning the for the hiatus ,bu=
produced! IL is by liee,y giving this letter to the
World, That Mr.. L. at once dehcs all Mr. Claws
manGuvres, and that he best proves TO Mr. c. thai
Hotc, or at al future times, all his efforts ITO
cause (him) 10 side win The Administration,
through the fundamentally of this very letter are
az Idle as the wind We regret, therefore. tia,
MIR. l. has not seen Fl TO publish tbs letter him.
SELL or obtained MIR. C's assent To its publcatio,.
without throwing the responsihity of gratifying
lhe appetiles OF nensgapef EItoIs,'' upon Mr.
q. himself
W regret, too, tLsi at ihe.e ponenteus fines
OF OR political history; when a mad and mischjev
Gus Coalition have thrust themselves into The seats
OF power; when The cons tuition and the In e,e-t.
ut our country, demand their expulsion: that MIR
Tyler has not come out more explicitly again.,
ibein.-NFe conceive that he might have expre4.ed
his opposition to them, not because they nun
oppose oil (h-) convictions OF proper policy but
because they hare opposed such con because
they are violating the Constitution s, hare forfeit
ed ihe support OF an enlightened & viruous urotIe
We can scarcely think that Mr. T. has done lbs.
lice TO himself this occasion; because we un.
dersiand hin. TO have declared elsewhere in posi-
tive terms, that he Is strongly opposed 10 their
acts. In our lmmOie Judgment, no misplaced sen
sbility, either in regard 10 his Lac opponents or
bis supporters, should have caused him 10 with
hold his sentiments al ths perjous period of our
affair. We admit the force of bis appeal 10 the
general principles which have hitherto governed
his political course. They have hitherto been
right we trust he ,cW sfiH be right we believe
that they will be right Bot bis appeal TO those
general principles " not sufficient under the pcsu
liar Circumstance. ~ " hcb he and bis country aie
placed. Nothing but The Dol lest and most deci,l-
cd bearing towards tic Coalition at Washing on
can SUM these times, can save the nation. The
people demand 1t at the bands OF their agents 49,
sud no service, however lOnk, no principles
however pure, can atone FOR the want Of It. We
ssy y, them IL the frank spirit Of Free Press; we
say II without prejudice sGd without passion; with
out the slightest desire 20 wound The feelings, or
censure tie conduct, OF man whom vs. had os
teemed for years; that IN opinion be ha, nista-
ken the which it became him TO pursue.
IN truth, ,hoss who serve the people ~ these
times, must repair TO their posts wth pure hands,
and with firm hearts. They should be PREPARED to
defy all The authority and all the acts OF the
in power. No propiliatory olEring," oi-
Their TO their personal opponents or 20 the
members Of the Administration, no reserve Of
their principles or their feelings on any coca
sion; but spirit, that will stand iearlessIy be
| fore the people their 80 rulers spifit that
will proupt them to declare ali their opinions
