Mr. Tyler has turned traitor to his party" say the
Wings. Indeed We thought if the Wings sue
ceeded, we were to have President of the people,
not of a party Bridgeport Farmer.
The ultra Wings say he ''has turned traitor"
but nevertheless the people will find that he is
their President, the denunciations of few ex-
travagant cliques to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
The strictly party men on both sides-those
whose aim is personal reward for vociferous
partisan warfare, and whose end is the punish
ment Of defaulters or the disgrace of official sta
tions-whether ultra Wings or ultra Democrats,
if their expectations Of preferment are founded
merely on their political opinions, in place of
honesty and capacity, may designate the Presi-
dent BY what term they please, but they
will certainly have reason to be convinced that
he intends to persist in his straight forward
course "wthout fear, favor or affection"
The President cannot please every body-he
does not expect it. But by guarding the Con-
stitution faithfully and administering the laws
impartially during his term of service, he will
at all events discharge his duty, and thus ever
please the silent monitor in his own breast
Without an inpard consciousness of having
done right, the applause of the world is of no
value. But if the Chief Magistrate of this
great country is governed solely by the dictates
Of duty, guided by the landmarks of the wise
patriots of the Revolution, he will, he must, in
the end, win the plaudits and confidence of all
honest citizens. Then what inducement is
there for the President TO err wifully?
He will not be the President of party, ex-
clusively, and the people will be convinced Of it.
That the men whom he may select to fill the va
rious Offices within his gift will be identified
with some Of the political divisions that always
exist, is observation-disclosures almost every man
Of intelligence, in Republic like ours, assumes
party name and advocates certain measures.
But we have good cause to believe that his ia
vors will never bestowed on any class of parti-
san brawlers, because they are such. Morris it
reasonable to suppose that he will appoint men
to execute the laws, who openly denounce the
head Of the Government and resist or obstruct
The operation of the measures of the Admins
tration. II would be monstrous absurdity if
he did What would be thought Of a General
who selected his sentinels among the enemy
The President being personally responsible for
the acts of his Administration, it would be a
strange policy indeed if he were to select such
subordinates as would thwart all his intentions
and disregard all his commands.
But there are an abundance of reasonable
men, though they be politicians, to answer all
the wanfs Of the Executive, without having
resource to any particular set of demagogues
who make il business to abuse him.

We recollect to have heard, years ago, an anec-
dote as creditable to Mr.. McMahon as the one we
give below.
Mr.. Mcmahon had greatly exerted himself in
the campaign that resulted in the first election of
Gen. Jackson, and had by his thrilling eloquence
and unweared exertons, aided more than any
Their man in raising the Jackson party in Mary
land, from a minority to a triumphant majority
When the General commenced his high handed
acts against the rights and best interest of the
People, Mr.. Mcmahon waited on him, and earn
estly but respectfully demonstrated against the
course he was pursuing. The General told him
that when he was in want OF his advice, he would
ask it--and in the same breath added, "Mr. Nc
Mahon, what office do you wish ; name it and it
shall be yours" naturally concluding from the
course Of most of his supporters that the orposi-
ton Of Mr.. nj. could be very readily converted in
to active support, by the aid of a dip into the
Treasury. He had, however, for once, mistaken
his man. The highminded Patriot he had insult
ed by the offer of office, looked him sterny in the
face, and replied, sir, you know but little of me
when you think that am to be bought by any or
all the Offices in your gift. From that moment
to the present, he has been o: the lirmcst an
ti-Jackson men in tho nation.-Phig.
Nor IN MARKET.-John V. l.. Mcmahon, of
Baltimore, is reported have rejected the offer of
aplace in the new Cabinet, saying he was 'yet
able TO make a support by his profession, and
was not, therefore, in the political market."-
