pcctatlon on the part of the friends Of Gen
cral Harrison, that he would assist in car
rylng out all the measures commended for
at the last Presidential contest But Mr.
Tyler dlSmlsscs the matter very briefly,
by saying that his own opinion has been
uniformity "proclaimcd to be against the
exercise of any such power by this Go
Tnmcnt." That is to say, he has been
uniformity against the power of Congress
To create National Bank to operate per
Sc over the Union. Then have the Wings
ot this country, or the great body of them
sadly mistaken John Tyler. Especially
were many of the delegates who placed
him in nomination for the Vice PrcSidcn-
cy at Harrisburg, mistaken as to his views.
Nay, the pcoplc-or large masses of them
continued SO mistaken until the appear
s.ncc Of the Veto Message. Only vestcr-
day we quoted from the Baltimore Sun,
the Alexandria Gazette and the Baltimore
Clipper, aud all those journalists express
scd the opinion that the Bank Bill would
be signed. 1t is clear then. that the pub
he, or at lSaSt IA large portion thereof
were IN error. and not aware that Mr. ~
Ter had, as he now allcgcs-"on all srlita-
bile occasions during period OF - years,
unrcscWcdIy proclaimed his opinion IL
galnst the power Of Congress to charter

seems quite surprised that any one should

him.-IIc says lhat-hs opinions upon the
subject have been expressed time and
again, and that "in the Senate Chamber
IN the presence and hearing of many who
are at this time members Of that body,
they have been affirmed and rc-allirmcd."
He says he never concealed these opn-
lo"s, and that with full knowledge
of them he was elected by the
people Of the United States. We repeat
then, that with this view of the case, the
Wings Of the country have been sadly in
error. They never believed that their
candidate fora high national Office, would
lntcrpoSc rri0 al IA moment like the pre-
sent. and under the circumstances that en-
list. In this section Of tho Union they are
sadly disappointed, and their expressions
Of ccnsurc and Indignation are, in the cX-
element Of thc moment, by no means
measured. Hundreds Of them freely adj
init that the bill, as it passed Congress, is
objectionable in some Of lis features.
