but word to say to our Wing friends, and tina, is,
that each and all so to the Polls. We owe ,h,
much to the principles for which, we have struggled

his Successor, on whom the and responsibility,
OF Government have been suddenly devolved-wc
owe 1t to the peace and honor of the country, which

sions among themselves and 60 forth with the zeal
and unanmi'y, which they displayed in November,
and victory is inevitable.

To The Editors Of the TYLfg.

Messrs. Editors: We shall need fiscal agent for
the use OF the Federal Government, and since the
Industrious predecessor has mathematical the
Pets with so much severity, the question is eyi.
IDENTIFY narrowed down to a choice between a Bank
of the United States, and the Sub-treasury. In de-
Gliding between The two, Gov. Tyler would. no
doubt, pay all due respect TO the opinion Of your
venerable neishbOr. Will you therefore be pleased
TO ask hun which he pre(ersl They are 10Th so
abomlna5e that, accustomed as he is to a choice of
evils, dare say he will be not little puzz ed in his
reply For while the Sub treasury would increase
too much the power and patronage of the Execu.
tive" the Monster might exert too great an inau.
ence against him. The old Hero has said she
knows Bank 10 be cOnstitutional,r but we are
not to conclude that it is more constitutional than
the treasury, only because no one as vet, "has
put his finger on that clause in the Constitution"
which authorizes this favored measure. Upon the
whole, they would seem so exactly upon a balance
the one With the olher that fear the sagacious old
seer will never be Hble TO answer the question. un
less his judgment is regulated by the sme rule that
IS used by his patron saint OF the Hermitage He
II IS said, hates Calhoun more than Clay, because
he quareled last with the "honesi NulHher" Ac.
cording TO this rule, your worthy cotemporary will
in all probability, prefer a Bank, as he auarreIed
last with the Sub-treasury.
