always repudiated IL is strange way, ii seems to
me, to preserve the ascendancy of the Wing party
The same John Tyler who is thus accused, showing
his Willingness to carry out, to the full extent, such
measures OF the Wing party as he had not, from high
considerations OF duty the Constitution, oppo
sed freely gives his signature to- and thereby enacts
INTO laws every measure passed by Wing Congress.
II he had been disposed to with perGdy TO the Wing
party, he could have done nothing so acceptable to
the Locofocos to have refused his the
peal of the sub Treasury, and the Distribution and
Presumption bill. 1t was in his power to have chosen
a Cabinet from amongst the opponents Of the Wing
party but instead Of doing, he calls around him
Forward, Mclean, Upshur, Legare and Wicklife,
men not only Of the highest order talents but whose
devotion to true Wing principles cannot be question

In conclusion, sir, let say that no man of nelli
gence in the Wing party be ignorant of the fact
that the Bank question was, and is, delicate and
dangerous one for the Wings. 1t is the only ques-
ton calculated to divide u.s. That settled, and all
win NC we'll TOW important then, is II, that we
should avoid extremes and that Congress- the Presi-
dent, and the Wing Cabinet, should meet in that
same spirit OF compromise that ac,uaed our fathers,
nd for the common good of the country and for the
safety of the Wing party settle that dangerous ques
ton. For sir, rest assured, if ever the party whom
we struggled hard to defeat ever gets into power
again, all that they did heretofore will be as nothing
compared with what they will do
In conclusion, will hazard the opinion, that unless
the administration of John Tyler receives at the
hands of the Wing Congress generous. friendly,
and cordial support, the days of the Wing party are
numbered Rest assured, sir that however much po-
lit,cians abuse and Willy the President the great
mass Of the people are as "cam as summers morn.
