EXACT JUSTICE.

Mr.. Tyler's enemies are Of two casses-frst the
political friends Of Mr.. Clay and National Bank I;
and secondly the aspiran,s for public office whose
principles lie in the depth ofheir pockets and not the
sternnsss of their integrity.
The friends Of Mr.. Clay, like their "peerless mas
ter for the part are violent and vndictve in their
feelings, ambitious in their desires, and to certain
extent, profgate in their intentions. They advocate
awe known class Of dogmas peculiar, in an eminent
degree school oferpediency distractions they deem
very offensive, and consistency is not found in their
voluminous vocabulary. In day advanced as our
own it would be specially imrolitic to, advance and
propagate such sentiments and opinions they hon
es,ly entertain. consolidated Government support
ed by Congressional moneyed charter, protective
system of imposts, and national debt-aie too OBJ
noxious 10 be openly malntaned stratagem and con-
cealment are pclatted TO accomplish the workfraud
and misrepresentation brought into requisition.
With such politicians John Tyler enterta.aed no
sympathiesi his creed always had been simple and
honest, demanding for its support neither mask
cloak opinions before the same as his opin-
ions after election. Thus it that malignant hos
tiy breeds in that quarter for honesty OF intention
and purity of motive bear relationship to dsho-
Hesty anu ulsSenDlanCe.
As for the disappointment among the legion Of Of
fceseekers it was to have been anticipated to divide
the vesture Of Executive patronage easy task
General Jackson was nearly sacrificed by such men
as thesc-and, if we mistake not they expect Presi-
dent Tyler to mount their funeral pile When the
reins Of Government, by wise dspensa,ion of Pro-
violence, thrown into his hands, he did not ex-
pect that trust important and responsible was to
be converted into system of spois that heated and
violent parsans were to become public cormorants
and the national funds the rich booty of the vicors
Such, then, is the second class of Mr. Tyers oppo-
nents.
1t would lie well for the rejecting and dspassonate
Of all parties to give these facts few moments care
full investigation. If Mr. Tyler became the object OF
political hatred solely because he loved honesty bet
ter than party what patriot what moral man. can ar
raign him for treason breach Of trust Z Can
the independent portion of the American people, the
disinterested and free, pronounce him man unwor-
thy of confidence, simply because he held sacred his
integrity? We opine not. Justice must and will
protect him.

"THE NAVAL APPRENTICES +"

We copy the following article under the above
head, from the Courier q. Enquirer. We are happy
to perceive that the Editor does not suffer his politics
to bias his judgment.
The Naral Apprentices The Madisonian in no
tcng our remarks In copying article from the Bal
umofe american on the subject of the Naval Appren-
tice system, Baltimore contemporary for
stating the circumstances connected with IT, without
taking the proper steps for ascertaning
and the Madsonnn thinks il still more to be regretted
that "a Naval Officer" upon whose authority The
statement made, should have hazarJed an asser-
ton calculated to reflect seriously the admins
tatiun Of the Navy Department. Without concur
ring non concurrng in the remarks of the Madso
man. for have other knowledge Of the facts of
the than we have gathered from the two newspa-
per articles TO which we refer, it is gratifying to find
the following statement in the official paper for though
is quite satisfactory, it does seem to us 50
gross a appeared to be in the original repre-
sentaon OF it. The verdict of the Jury convic.inp
the boy of granddaughter an ugly circumstance, and
very awkward one TO get over; but are not
among the number Of those who look upon the deci-
sion Of Juries infable and if this boy really kill
ed his companion by accident the only wonder Is that
the Jury convicted him not that Governor extend
ed his pardon, that the youth was permitted to en-
list into the public There may be other cir
cumstances connected with the case which would
warrant the severity with which was commented on
by the American but as the statement stands in the
MadisoniaD we really do not see much to find fault
with.

CoSchEss.-The Baltimore Republican, 10 a
spirited article on the aspect Of parties in the
Congress about to assemble, closes with the fol-
lowing remark:
IL will be sight to make virtuous mans heart
beat with JOY TO see the triumphant step Of the faith
u sentines ofthe people and them with the
gloomy brow, downcast look, and disturbed spirit of
me condemned corruptionsls who had dared TO raise
theif puny voices against The thunders of an inlel
gent and Tree people-who had dared make an
tempt TO gag the representatives Of the people, and de-
nounce the President Of the nation as traitor and
wretch" The former, because they boldly pro-
ciaimed the wishes Of their constituents, and the lat
ter because he had much respcc, for his sacred OBJ
legations as man and his duty public officer 10

ruins great national monster and tyrant. Thus

reward them and although for q time the course of
democratic truth may be INSTRUCTED by craft and cum
ning yet IN the end il will burst FORTH and scatter its
benign influence over the entire human family"

FEMALE FINANcIERs OF LOWELL.

We take the following compliment to the financial
talents of the factory girls Of LOWELL from the Harms
burg Pa lnteigencer. Wethnk Mr.. Bidde might
take hint from the artcle-especially from the
GLIDING paragraph, which would be of especial ben
eft to him, if he should mediate any opeI atoms
in banking, after he had wound up his old ones, as
they had wound up him.
The Real Cause Of Neio Engianas Prosperity
The last Miners Journal says that if the newspapers
are to be credited, the New England States now
In most prosperous condition, and then gives the
whole credit Of this prosperity to the perfection of the
New England banking system.
The prosperity Of the New England States at this
time, while the Middle Southern and Western States
are suffering under great pecuniary embarrassments,
rests upon solid foundation than any banking
system. Ii Is the industry Of New England and the
investment of New England capital in manufactures
that now gives prosperity to these States.
The following fact speaks volumes The factory
girls at Lowell have on deposite in the Savings Bank
upwards of $305, 900. The whole number of deposit
tors is 97S II is for girl to have $500 on
deposte.
Is there any Lowell in Pennsylvania Has Phila-
delphia capital been invested in the Interior like the
Boston capital, in building up manufactures How
many poor girls in Pennsy lvania have by their indus
try, money in our banks
The fact is the Banks only be sustained by the
domestic industry of the country and not the people
by the Banks. Ii Congress would encourage manu-
features it would do more to create sound currency
than the establishment of hundred National Banks,
which when created could not be sustained.

{ We copy from the Courier and Enquirer, a
portion Of therejoinder 10 our plea in defence Of
the charge made against us, of calling 'JoHN
TYLER erery inch Vhig.n We shall reserve
the balance of the rejoinder for some future oc-
cason, 'more propilious for calm consideration
than the present"
"Mr. Tyer's Madisonian has had the magnanimity
to put itself rseus in euria and TO tell the people OF
the United States precisely what its position is-
not. II Is not Whig at any rate, and the official
organ Is not only perfectly clear and explicit on this
point, but Il displays whole column Of learning for
the purpose Of proving why Il should not be Wing.
Il has gone into genealogical research that would
do credit TO MIR. Noah Webster himself In order to
prove that the Hon. Daniel Webster Is Prime Minis
ter at this moment to man who is Wing
than the Gar of Muscovy. The Madisonian defes
pretty much all creation TO prove that il pas
Wing, and ofcourse is perfectly successful in prov
ing At the same time and by the process, that
ITS Master Is no Wing, never was, and never intends
to be. The "black letter learning" touching the
derivation Of the word "Whig" we look upon as ex-
ceedngly conclusive, and the "Sour Whey" may be
put down among the most overwh elming demonstra-
tons Of modern argument. Whiggism will please to
consider itSef dead and buried from the date of the
last Madisonian."
We feel bound to acknowledge that the Cou-
rier and Enquirer have given US altogether too
much credit, both for our learning and our
prowess!
We must seriously object TO the high compli-
ment OF having "defed pretty much all crea-
toni" for we did not intend to defy even '.alln
the Wing party though the whole Of them are
an exceeding small part Of screaton,n however
great they may appear in their own eyes.
As to "Whiggism pleasing TO consider itself
dead and buried" from any mortal blow that we
have dealt il, it is our consolation to know that
it is able $50 read lis oaon epitaph."
We most solemnly protest! that so far from
slayingit we did not even intend "to shater
its right arm Z"

Extract from the report of the Committee on the
state of the Repu5c, recently made in the Legisla-
ture of Georgia.
"The Committee cannot withhold the expression
of their appreciation of the Executive for his inhexble
adherence to his constitutional opinions under the
most embarrassing circumstances upon the subject Of
Bank OF the United States, by which the country
has been spared yet longer from the bghtng curse of
vast moneycd corporation, with power TO sway the
interests and control the business Of the people OF
ry section Of this extended republic. And the mea-
adopted by the party to which the President is
attached, TO bring disgrace and dsrespect upon their
official heads, for the conscientious performance of
public duty are not the least among the alarming in
dications which, in the opinion Of this Committee
ought to excite the appehensicns and enlist the
tons Of the people.
The attempt made to bring odium upon the Chief
Magistrate, by casting conlumely upon him in the
halls OF Congress- in newspapers of his own political
stamp, repudIatng the officer whom they had elevated
to power, proclaining him unworthy OF confidence,
for an exercise of the very authority which he had al
ways claimed OF repairing the breach in the Consttu
ton, whenever an opporuni offered, does exhibit
disregard of one of the departments Of the Govern
ment-a contempt for the established institutions of
the land, and reckessness Of party spirit SO preg-
nant with mischief that, if not arrested, will relax at
achment to the laws engender dssensions perncious
and incurable among the supporters Of wholesome
Government, and operate to the destruction Of oil
raj and political obligation"
Appended to the report we find the following among
I he resolutions;
"Resolped, That our Senators in Congress be in
structed, and our Representatives requested to vote
against the establishment of United States Bank in
every aspect and by every that it may be presen
ted and that they their exertons TO effect repeal
of the distribution bill, the bankrupt bill, and to
modify and reduce the loan bill and revenue BILL as to
limit the sum raised for the support of Government to
an amount only which economy in the public service
may require"
Resoiped That we view the attempt now making
to abolish the Veto power Of The Executive branch
dangerous attack upon the liberties of the people,
and hostile TO the first principles of Republican Co
vernmen t."

The untoward event. which occurred al Washing

The untoward events which occurred At Washing
ton during the extra session, have been prolific
source Of dscord and disaster since The evils inic
ted cannot now be recalled il only remains to pre-
vent, y possible, their continuance. This may be-
brought about by spirit Of mutual respect, forbear
ance ana coneiliation, and Il can be realised In no
other shape.
II the fiscal agent TO be presented in the forthcom
ing message shall conform in its essential provisions 10
the recommendations contained in the previous
municatons ofhe President we trust will be adopt
ed, and that fair opportunity will be given Il to
prove itself worthy Of the confidence Of the public.
Should u faI Of accomplishing the ends proposed IL
can be modified, or something different can be subs-
iu'cd IN It's place. II belongs to subject which Is
every day making new Developments, upon which
new light Is constantly falling and which imbodies
the experience Of the past. We are quite often
made wise by adversely as prosperity by the ruin as
the realization Of our hopes.
But be the results what they may il will not be
sound policy ia the Wings to move in favor of Ma
uona Bank ill we have some further demonstrations
OF public sentiment the subject. Let the call for
such an Institution from every section of the
land before the Wings again put their ascendancy in
Jeopardy for its attainment The substantial bene
fits conferred by party measures, are ever regarded
with Jealousy, and even the blessings which they be-
stow are often strangely perverted.-Phii. North
American.
We like the tone and spirit Of the North Anne
rcan's remarks, and cordially agree with the
editor that the Bank Wings will find il polite
not to 'move in favor Of National Bank till
they hare some further demonstrations Of
public sentiment in favor of the project. All
we asks, that they should wait TILL that time.
But perhaps something can be effected in the
meantime for the people.

The GREAT WEsTERN.-We see il stated, every
now and then, that this noble ship has lost so much
money for her owners that they have determined to
abandon their enterprise and withdraw her from the
Atlantic. But II is not so. She will be here again
early in the Spring, and be followed during the sum
by her tremendous iron associate of thirty two
hundred tons and six masts, propelled by screw in
the stern, Of fifteen feet diameter. The Boston folks
need not tickle themselves with the notion that New
York cannot support astesm line the Atlantic

WHO" NOMINATED JOHN TYLER FOR
VICE PRESIDENTS
THIS is Me nm time Of asking.

HtS oMc fJbttWcV 6o"f"S'
We have put, and repeated this question,
again and again, TO whomsoeyer they
may be, and by whatsoever appellation they
may be known or called who have presumed
to arTaign JOAN TYLER as a "fraitorn 10 the
Wig party"
We hardly expected his accusers would dare
answer the question, lest they should crminate
themselves: We have, therefore, summoned
the recorded facts of the case to answer this
grave and important question. We have en-
deavored TO show, that the d Democratic Re

HENRY HARRIsoN for President in 1895, and

have claimed his allegiance.

il will necessarily follow, that he neither owed,
nor owes, that party any allegiance; and can
not, therefore, be guilty of treason against them;
nor, with any propriety, be called, by them. at

We may well demand of this party, therefore,
in the language Of Holy writ
Uho art thou that judgest another mans SER
cant? TO has olon master he sfandefh or fall

did not have it in their power to nominate any
candidate at the Convention of Harrisburg in
1885,
Let US examine the records of the Harrisburg
Convention, as attested by the NeD York Ame-
rican; and see what the entire effective force
Of the swing party" on that occasion was.

From the Neto York Courier &C. ENQUIRER

As pas to be erpecfed-The Madisonian can't hold
in any longer 1t has been evident all along that the
Official paper was bursting with the wish to tell the
people Of the United States that Mr.. Tyler signed
the various bills passed at the extra session Of Con
gress against his teiH and merely TO keep in a
little longer with the party that placed him IND
chance for The Presidency. Speaking Of what the
President has done well what he has not done,
the Madisonan now says.
awhile yielding to the wishes Of the People as i'm
piled in the votes Of majority of their Representa-
tives, in questions to which he could have otlor
objection than their nexpediency he has steadily re-
fused his sanction to enactment which he has al
ways conscientiously deemed TO be decidedly uncon-
sttutional Being held personally responsible for the
Of his administration he has followed the dictates
of his own judgment and conscience, instead of yield
ing blndly to the wishes and opinions OF majority"
Here we have it. Mr. Tyler has yielded" to / he
wishes of the people far to sign the Land dis
ribuon bill, the Loan bill, the Repeal of the Sub
Treasury bill, &c, though in his sovereign OPT
MON they were inexpedent. We don't know how his
judgment and conscience" stood with regard to the
expediency of the Bankrupt act.
We are willing that the country should have
the benefit Of the sage reasoning Of this " enc
my of the President" That the Courier and
Enquirer is embarked in hopeless war against
the Executive, and that it is "grasping at straws"
at every turn in its convulsive struggles to keep
its head above water, we think the above spec-
men will be sufficiently convincing to the most
obtuse intellect.
If the paragraph quoted from this paper proees
that the President signed the bills referred to
against his WILL then truly the Courier and En-
quirer has not been defeated in every attempt to
throw odium on the Administration, and may
yet expect to realize another loan from Ma
tional Bank.
