THE PRESIDENT "peR se :,

This Is emphaucally u world OF change. Tn
ush and exalted at To day are the poo or aud despise,
o''"Srt"w' Tie who THIS year. occupies the PIN
"aele OF fame and receives the aeelamation Of admir
.,s millions, on the next, may be sunk 80 low !,
inc estimation OF those very persons AS to '6n,
none ~ poor To do him reverence"
In the history OF no class of men is this truth NJ
'encr OF more strongly manifested than IN th,, n
the politicians Of the present d,y: nor has any ;m
d v dual Of our ucq ratntance ufr,rded 50 cn,I ar
Instance ot It's force rs his ENcellcncy Posi- len
TYLER. Elevated but a few months 40, To the Sc
cond once 10 the Government 10y the sufrages O
\ IN ,lOn'y ot 100 600 ut his COUNT ymcu. ard called
by the Providence OF God, to the chief eomm,nd l.
he nation, he entered on the discharge of his b;,l
and important duties with every ptospee, Of, sue.
cessiul and popular career. That this wouId b.y,
Teen his uich reward had he been true TO hrs ,rus,
none can doubt who knows any thing of The conf.
ding character Of the American people. Tia, hs
has not only lostthe good opinion but incurred ths
disp.eiSurc OF those whose confidence he has, h,.
tr'yed and whose expectations he hts disappoint
Cd, ought not to be u matter of surprise, even Ia
himself. When any individual, however exalted
HIS station, proves false to his friends. he c,nno, ,c,.
sonab'y hope TO escape the contempt of nm, opno.
nents or the maIedlcuons of those by whose s,C.
trages he was raised TO power and distinc,ion
ihe former, however much they may applaud the
treason, cannot but desplsc aud exrcr,t. IN, tr,i,
or. Nor has Nr Tyler been more fortnn,,o IN ,h;.
respect. than his predecessors in political per6Jv
VI at the wing presses throughout the coun
try, which labored 50 assiduously and 40 A., n; ZEN.
~ m bringing about the revolution Of eighteen
hundred ana lo'ty, by which he was elevated To
power, we know OF not one, save his official orrn,
and pensioned trumpeter, Uhe Mnd,sonnnI Ia,
does not denouncc his late conduct, in the strono,s,
terms. Opposition To his course is far too m,lI n
term TO express the feeling which animates III,
wing tanks from Maine to Florida. They are dis.
susled beyond measure, at what they regard his
MISE t~e'chery to their dearest interests as well as
their declared Will.
We have reason 20 believe that while this 10 n.
feeling entertained towards Mr. Tyler by his late
'tienus' ne has gained nothing in favor with those
whose support he labors SO earnestly tn ca, Al.
Benton has avowed on the floor uf the Sen,,e ,na,
ne would las soon receive 10 his bosom. his yyiG.
fresh from the revelry OF a brothelr rs In con6J. ~
one who, like MIR Tyler. had betrayed his Cricnds.
MIR Vanderpoel, a leader of another porti,n nj a.,
has openly denounced hin to his folI,w.
ers and declared that he would feel dis.rnccd h,
him with "a forty foot pole" white NJ,
caihoun, the leader of the AbSiractioni.,s. has con
iemned him to the fate which justice would award
@ me ppI'reh traitor" These are the sentiments
the leaders Of the Democracy, and lhey arc echo
ID back by the great body OF the party.
The following extract from a letter received bv
wing friend IN this place, from a Democratic cor.
rSpon lent, expresses the feelings OF the whole fra.
ernity:
