measures from those marked out by his
late 'lamen,ed predecessor, President Har-
rison. These wiseacres have racked their
Invention, and exhibited a remarkable in
dustry in ransacking Congressional Doc
unsents TO show-that his views inrelalion
TO National 'Bank-Fhe Tariff--and
removals from Office, some ten or dozen
years since, do not correspond with those
of the great Democratic Wing party of
the present day. They argue. that mas
much as President Tyler, while Senator,
looked upon some Of the features of the
charter of the old United States Bank as
unconstitutional, therefore no national ifs
cal agent can be created without having
such objection, or that can receive his
sanction!
They bring no positive proof-allho,gh
they may think they do-in reference to
his views Of the Tariff; and even if they
did, we should have no fears on the sub
ject. His views on this subject, as Pres
ident of the United States, must necessa.
rily vary in some degree from those he
entertained while studying to promote
the narrowed policy of single Southern
State. This will be the case, if he wish
es 10 promote--as we believe he does
the interests of every portion of the
Union. A modification of his views under
such change Of circumstances would, by
the candid, be considered commendable
rather than otherwise. This will espe-
cially be the case, since several whole
States in the South are altering their no.
tons on this very subject. Our oppo-
nents can therefore make but little capital
from any objections yet started.
In relation to his action concerning the
fiscal affairs of the country, there is every
reason to believe that he will pursue the
course adopted by President Madison.--
If majority of the Representatives OF
the People should adopt any measure for
the relief Of the country which is not pal.
pably unconstitutional, he will most cheer.
fully sanction it.
His views relative to removals are sc
explicitly stated in his Message, and ac.
cord so exactly in spirit with his speech
in the Senate on the Removal of the De.
posites, that no remarks from us on the
subject are necessary. Our opponents
can no longer felici,ate themselves on any
diversity in this particular between the
course pursued by Gen. Harrison and
President Tyler.
The Democratic Wings in all the pop
uious places throughout the Union, are
holding meetings TO assure the present in
cumbent in the Presidential Chair, Of
their entire confidence in the manner he
viii administer the affairs Of Government.
This is az it should be. Every Wing
should have the utmos. confidence in his
talents, patriotism, and integrity. until
something occurs to mar that confidence,
and show thatit has been misplaced.
