POSTPONE 1T TO THE GREEK

Such was the noble sentiment Of Mr.. CHoArE,
the distinguished successor Of Mr.. WEBSTER, in
the Senate Of the United States, in reference to the
constitutional authority OF Congress TO make a
Bank, and branch it upon the States without their
consent. Postpone the question It'll the day after
toreuer," rather than force an inevitable schism
amonst the Wings, responded the noble PRESTON,
and others who had rallied under the talismanic
motto Of the gallant WISE, who invoked s'the
Union Of the Wings for the sake of the UNION"
Not so, however, answered HENRY CLAY! You
shall have "such bank as your fathers had,"
[and such bank as we and our fathers rejected
only larger and more dangerous, if possible or
in default Of this (says his biographer Of the Louis.
vile Journal in an invocation to the Wing press,
all over the Union,) "you shall have none!'
Thus speaks the Caesar of the Senate, and the
Cesar of the Press! Well, we have heard SINH
lar thunder" before, and we have heard it an.
swered by the "still small voice of reason" and
moderation, which acted Defiance although it
clustered not the ,oord-and having witnessed the
effects and the results OF the rival systems at Har-
risburg, we are content to abide by them again.

MopERArios VERSUS ULTRAIsM.--We have
the most reliable authority on which to predicate
an assurance 10 the country, that the course OF
President Tyler will be unmarked by the vio-
lence which he and we denounced in the late ad.
mnstration, but which, we regret to have per.
ceived seems well nigh forgotten by what we
hear and see from many Of our friends, who ,Cere
as loud 10 its condemnation as we were.
On such grounds, only, can the administration
sustain itself with honor-if, indeed, on any other
it could long sustain ttelf at all. The great
body OF the people are upright and candid in
their views, and having voted for the lamented
Harrison, and the distinguished associate upon
whom his mantle has fallen, in the expectation
that they would practice when in power what
they preached to obtain it, will not fail to sustain
the course we have indicated True, the unre.
Tyler and his Cabinet, by those who, from any
cause, are dissatisfied with the present. or who
look doubtngly or jealousy on the .future-bu
''the great body Of the people" who may be
comparatively silent for while, will sustain
(sooner or later, and soon enough) the men who
resist temptation and STAND BY THEIR rRrN.
cIPLEs.
We might amplify these remarks to an indie
finite extent, but we need not. We but ask
therefore, in conclusion, that our friends, Of all
parties, extend to this administration fair and
candid consideration, and Judge OF it By its meas
ureS. The few errors it may have already com
mitted, having been the result of the indulgence
Of too kindly disposition to serve importunate
friends, before sufficient time had been had fol
the more full consideration which has beer
thereby suggested, will be productive, in that
manner, Of the best results for the future-sug
costing, as we have reason to know they have
more caution and delberation, both in the re-
moval and appointment Of executive officers,
and equal 6rmness in maintaining the other grea;
principles and compromises agreed upon at Har.
risburg.
On the whole, the observation Of every day,
and all we hear from Washington, confirms us
that we incurred no hazard in announcing,
month ago, and as the result Of our first re fec
tons upon the tenor and tendency of the doc
trines Of the message-"we go for john TYLEE
and his measures"

ITO adopt the amendment in question, would be
worse than to do nothing at ALL"
Thus speaks the Louisville Journal in
reference to the amendment of Mr.. Rives,
which our readers are aware, consisted of
single section cut from the bank bill of
Mr.. Ewing. The English of the position
assumed by the Journal, and which is adj
vocated by one of our contemporaries is
this: Rather than the Federal government
shall trust its constituents-the sovereign
States who made it-rather than the crea-
ture should trust its creators, in matter at
least of the most doubtful and delicate ex-
ercise of authority, let things remain as
they are!
Very well--we shall see what will be the
response of the proud spirited REPuBLr-
CANS, of all recent subordinate party names,
to proposition SO eminently courteous,
conciliatory and coniding. We express
the opinion with great diffidence for the
superior forecast of Mr.. Clay and his
friends, but with what seems to us a very
NATURAL reliance upon its correctness and
fufilment, that the PEOPLE of the STATES,
who are thus distrusted by one of their
servants, while occupying seat in the
Senate, may doubt the propriety and self
respect of elevating that servant to sta
ton, where his WILL may become LAW

more stockholders should have the right to

"TYLER. TOOW

We intend, very shortly, to lay before
our readers the eminent and well-merited
compliments which were paid to JOHN
TYLER during the last canvass, in the adj
dresses of Wing Conventions, by Wing
orators and Wing presses, for the firm and
enlightened illustration which his life and
public services have given of his unwa-
vering devotion to the doctrines of the
States Rights school of Republicans
These richly merited encomiums were rem
dered him, not more because they were
just in themselves, than from the desire to
win, and thereby there was won, and con-
frmed to the support of the Wing ticket, an
immense accession of strength from the
school of politicians with which Governor
Tyler had so conspicuously acted from his
first entrance into public life. When we
have done this, we may probably point the
country to the modesty and sense of pro-
priety of those Zone of our neighbors, per.
haps, inclusive) who affect to believes tina,
unless Tyler forgets and foregoes and

which he was selected to give strength to
the compromise at Harrisburg, he will have
disappointed the hopes of the countryl
