FEDERAL WING DENUNCIATION.

The federal portion of the whig party are
perfectly ierocious against President Tyler,
for having blown their ~iniquitous schemes
'ssky high" He has, TO be sure US has been
well remarked by the Evening Post, put a
torch to the web they have been weaving for
years, and it lies in ashes. He has frustrated
their many dark and deep intriegues, broken
up their darling schemes, e~xtingulshed their
most sanguine expectations; and that, too,
in the very moment of their final compile
ton.
"All that art and patience, all that ingeni-
Gus pretences, and dextrous concealments,
and skillful organization could do. to carry
this plan into effect. had been done, and one
thing only remained, the signature of the
President to perfect the scheme. a Virgin
ia politician, nominated for Vice President
with the very purpose Of hiding the true OBJ
iect Of the wing leaders from the people, be-
comes by accident the Chief Executive
He refuses to do what those leaders expec-
ted from the plant temper of General Har-
rison; he refuses his signature to the bill, and
the work of years is undone in 4 moment"
That the federal wings should feel mmea-
surably mortified and chaglined at this utter
prostration of their long-looked for "Reguid-
tor'-that they should be bitterly disappoin-
ted at seeing their hard cider carousals and
immense expenditure Of time and money,
producing nothing but a harvest of shame,
was to have been expected; no one is, how
ever, at all alarmed at the peals OF thunder
which the federal press is rolling over the
land. TIE federal press every where are
making the most frightful grimaces at the
President, that can well be imagined; "mor-
titled" disappointed" 'high-handed act"
Sinfancy and disgrace" 'universal indigna-
tion,' ''perpetrated the greatest fraud" 'dls
graces the author" '~'utterly regardless Of
every moral and political obligations" are
some of the choice phrases with which the
federal journals abound in speaking Of the
Veto of the President.
We are not the apologist or defender OF
Mr.. Tyler; yet we take the liberty OF say
ing, that as to his having been guilty of the
treacheru, with which he is so charitabiy
charged by this late whig supporters, we put
in the plea of NOT GUILTY! His opinion
upon the question of a National Bank, have
been long and publicity known; he has ever
manifested his uncompromlsing hostility to
any such deadly institution. Previous to the
late ITeSlQenlldl eieCllOusd lcltci was duuicS-
sed to him by some Virginia gentlemen, in
which the following questiones occurred:
Would you VETO Bill ehdrtering a
National BpnkT"
In reply to this i~nterogatory, Mr.. Tyler said:
"Whether | would or would not exert the
Veto, it will be time enough for me to say
when | am either a candidate for, or an ex-
~pectant of the Presidential ~ofice-neithero Of
which l expect ever to be. If your CUES.
ton had been so varied as to have inquired
of me what course | would pursue if eleva-
ted to the Vice Presidency, and / should be
called upon to veto on a Bill for the hcor-
porotion of a Bunk, you should have had a
direct and emphatic answer. As it ISL have
only to refer you to a speech delivered in
the House of Representatives of the United
States in 1919. on the question Of a scira
facids AGAINST the late Bank, and my
vote given in the Senate Of the United States
in 1852, on the question Of chartering the
late Bank"
