in part for which the party contended and were Vcto
rious in danger of being frustrated barely because
President Tyler differs with the party upon one ques-
ton alone-tbat of the currency-and that, too, in
justice to Mr.. Tyler, should say, in the details
than as it regards principle is true Bank OF the
United States, in some shape or other, was favonte
measure with the great body of the Wings in Ken
lucky; but that was not paramount TO other great
questions with the party in that memorable conflict
First in Importance with the party the over
throw of corrupt Gas believe) and conuptng Ad-
ministration-an Administration that had abused the
confidence of the People, and used its power more for
party purposes and selfaggrandizemsnt than with
view to promote the happiness and the glory Of the ma
ton. Our great object to bring back the Govern
menr to its purity it in the days of Washing
ton, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and the younger
Adams. 3D. To do this, the Executive should be linn
tied to term-a favoite measure of General jack
son-and which we are pledged to do. Sd. To pre-
vent the improper interference of Federal officers; by
of their official station, from meddng in cleo
tons, both State and National. 18th. To cuItai and
retrench the expenditures of the Government. 9Th.
To abolish sinecure officers. 9th. The appointment
of Secretary of the Treasury by Congress, to
place him beyond the reach of the President except
the of Congress. 7th. To limit the power and
patronage of the Executive and keep within its
sphere. 9th. To distribute the proceeds of
the public lands among the several States according
to their original compacts of cession. 9th. The
peal of the Subtreasury. 10Th The establishment of
Government Bank to improve the currency and safe
ly keep and disburse the revenue.
Upon all these great questions Mr. Tyler them and
does now, Gas honestly beleve agree with the Wing
party with the exception ofthe latter
1t is true all these great objects have not yet been
accomplished. 1t not expected at call session.
But we know and should have confidence from the
known expressed opinions of the President that if
the Wing party in Congress but will redeem their
lemn pledges made to the People when elected, all will
be carried out to their fullest extent save perhaps the
President may not lend his hand to such bank a
majority of the Wing party could desire. And, as to
that, should the Wings despair BY no means. In
the last Veto, it is plain he is anxious, and will unite
with the Wings at the next session, in the establish
ment of Fiscal Agent that will suit all the purposes
of the Government, and improve the currency. Per-
haps (and doubt) there will be differences Of
opinion with the President and the Wings, and diff
ference of opinion among themselves to the PLAN
But that is justification to the party the Presi
dent why some such measure should not be adopted.
The different views upon the subject by great and
good men is powerful argument TO the President and
the Wing party that, upon question of such vital i'm
portance to the Union, concession, compromise, and
union is indispensably necessary, where there is
no abandonment of pr nciple

Government. To make this experiment of patr-
otism by the Wings the time is but short; and
think it due to the President (such being his wish
that he should have time for fair trial before the
Wings expel him from their communion table. Be-
side the letter of Mr. Webster should satisfy every
Wing that some great measure Of relief in the shape
of bank will be presented by the President to the
consideration of the next session of Congress Add
to the in the second Veo have the let
tiers of Mr. Webster, and the political complexion of
the members Of the Cabinet, we have further evil
dences of the favorable consideration of some such
measure of relief Though great and good men have
Withdrawn from the Cabinet yet is known that the
new sterling and uncompromising Whigs-
1t is known that their great names and powerful ia
Tents contributed greatly to Gust the late dynasty If
the President should Gas confidently believe he willy
give his sanction National Fiscal Agent that will
serve the Government in the safekeepng and dsburse
ment of its revenue, and improve the currency how
pleasant will be thefeengs and situation many ofthe
leading Wing editors in the different States their con-
dtion will be any thing but enviabe. few indiscreet
rash, hasty, and imprudent officers, often have pro-
duced the rout and slaughter of conquerng and VIC

corps of the enemy. So it may happen (but God, in
his mecies, forbid) to the great Wing and victorious
party in the Union by the rash impetuosity Of few
hotspur editors at the head of Wing presses, in the
different States. Confident of success Judging by
the pas upon the power of numbers, they count not
upon consequences, though the party should be de-
feated and sandered by their hasty and injudcious
conduct know, and deeply regret that by their ILL
advised course they have the of doing great
harm, by not faithfully reporting the true state OF
things of the Wing party, in their respective States
By the aid of the press they proclaim to the friends
in sister States that the party in their up in
arms, condemning Mr. Tyler n the most unmeasured
terms-a traitor to the party and his country renounc-
ing all connected with him Wing President, and
spuning any more favors his hands, when in truth
no such feelings exist among the great body of the
Wings m their vicinity.
BY the PRESS they deceive their friends in the die-
rent States to the true condition, and feelings OF
the party in their own; and therefore, it is impor-
tant the Wings (who do not wish dissolution of the
party) should be the upon their guard against
those "wouldb be leaders" of the party. To give an
example, far it regards the press in this State
A Wing in New York to pick up the Louisville
Journal, the Frankfort Commonwealth, OF the Lex
ington Intellgencer, and some other sub-journals
would suppose that the whole Wing party in the State
were up in arms-denouncing Mr. Tyler as traitor
prepared to tar and feather him, were it in thei
power; that an Incorporating war is waged against
him, and have expelled him from their political church
Now in sober truth, such state of things exists
among the great body of the Wing party in the State
