Tyler BEST and who daily converse with him
here, learning his opinions on all the great ques-
tons OF National policy,-see nothing unfortunate
Tor the great Wing party or alarming to them
On the contrary every great measure which was
expected from Harrison, will find in Tyler warm
and devoted supporter as well as proposer. He
has within four days expressed himself decidedly
in favor of a National Bank. lie says, however
that as 1t will takea long time to get such an in
slituiion satisfactorily organized and in full sue
cessinl operation, and as the country wants and
demands immediate relief he wishes to have some
intermediate measures taken TO meet present eXi.
gencies. On the repeal olthe Sub-Treusury, which
OF course will be the first job Of the session, he
wishes to have the specie paying State Banks made
temporary repositories OF the public money, and
other measures for the relief of community while
more permanent schemes are under deliberate ex-
animation. He goes for the tax on silks and wines
and for any needed increase of other duties in i'm
ports, under the compromise. He processes to be
very ambitious of having the country speedily re-
eved, so that the benefits of the great change may
be felt by the people during his administration
lie says, that ns far rs legislation effect il, he
country may be relieved in ninety ddus" This is
surely an honorable ambition and a noble spirit
worthy of successor of Harrison, and most sat-
islactory to the Wings.
But Of all his recent private declarations of sen
tlment, there is none that hail with more delight
and pride than that of his policy towards the
Indians. tie denounces and repudiates in the
strongest terms the whole Indian policy of Jack
son and Van Buren,. Humanity md Christian
principle are to form the basis Of his new scheme
as the best securities of an enlightened self inter
est. he has already atrogated the inqutou:
Cherokee treaty which has made so much trouble
anu has begun negotiations for n new treaty, fur
nishing that abused tribe with full indemn icalior
and satisfaction for tue plunderings and persecu
ions which they have SO long endured with mag
unanimous forbearance, and heroic patience, 81
lently waiting the day Of their redemption in tn,
triumph of the Wings. 1t is fact most unqnes
tionable, though little known among you, that tn,
reelection of Van Buren, would have been follow
ell by the outburst of fame of war all along on
great Western frontier, which would have swep
the whites TO the Mississippi. This is what tn
Arkansas men and the Indians themselves say
and nobody can doubt it who knows The facts -
The educated and chrslianizcd high chiefs AM
intelligent half breeds have all along been soolh
ing down the oppressed Cherokees, Choctaws
Chickesaws, and Greeks, by promising them Ger

John Ross (whom Poinset refused to acknowledge

" High Chief of the Cherokees." lie is here no,
with his Delegation, and looks no more like wba
Toe call an Indian than do.
The whole swarm of Indian agents and super
ntendents employed by the late Administration
are to be swept out "wth the bosom OF destruc
ton" With scarcely an exception, they are tn
greatest set of blood suckers and tyrants that eve
breathed. Their places will be filled with respon
sible men, acceptable both to the Indians and tn
border settlers. New England, that has ever ha
so loud voice for the oppressed Cherokces, wi

of that deceitfu, rapacious policy towards the At

years. of all the denominations of Jacksonisn
