bv the locofocos, and we think, indeed
have no doubt lhat il has been broogns
about by the chicanery and dexteroos
OF some Of the artfEi lead-
ers of that party who have succeeded 10
operating on the mind Of he imbeciie
Mr.. Tyler, not to the extent they wished
but what they have failed ia doing they
are endeavoring now TO accomplish 81
making two parties in the country, one
in opposition and one in support Of Ar.
T. If this fails, which is beyond do0os,
it is more than probable the locotoso
party will take Mr.. T. to their own bo-
SONS and run him on their ticket for the
next Presidency: and thus by treating
with the most affectionate regard the re-
pudiated traitor to the wing party, show
their willingness to uphold dishonest
selfish politician. whose perhdy, without
a parallel, has disappointed the nation,
and rendered him unworthy, even OF To-
cofoco respect, much less the exalted sta
ton to which they will in our mind en-
deavor to elevate him. This, il must Be
recollected, is only conjecture; but IS II
not justified by the treatment he has re-
ceived at the hands of the most promi-
nent wings in Congress, by part OF his
own conduct, and by the tone of the most
prominent locofoco papers in the country,
all of which endeavor, with q cringing
servility and evident dishonesty unsur-
passed, to exhibit him to the people, I'M
defiled by falsehood or treachery, and
pure as a saint. This conduct, contrast
ing SO strongly with the conduct of the
wing party who have thrown him or as
honesty, good consciences and self-re-
sPect dictated, is certainly deserving the
reprobation and exposure of all patriots,
of all having proper regard for our
country, its character and iIs institutions.
What was the tone of the Richmoni
Enquirer, and the Globe, towards Mr.
Tyler, before the second uetol He was
as hatteringly spoken of by these noted
political tacticians, as If he had alread '
become the traitor which he has since
proved himself to be, and undergone the
metamorphose which has made him :
suitable recipient for locofoco homage
and adulation. The most astounding dis
closures that ever stunned nation or :
party, have been made by one OF our frs
and most respected citizens, whose strici
problty was never dimmed BY a breath
of even the most malignant suspicion,
and corroborated by others OF equal We.
