PRESIDENT TYLER

MIR Tyler's Inaugural has been received by the
Wings with hurricane OF appause-by the ocos
with despair! So humbled and detected had the
last been rendered by the annihilating defeat OF
November, that eotemporaneously with announcing
the death of Gen. Harrison, they opened upon NJ,
Tyler their batteries of Aauery, cajolery and hum
bug! They stopped to fawn upon and sue to him.
whom they had previously regarded as too insignh-
cant even to be abused They hunted up, re
published and eItoled his old speeches, They
who had scoffed at him as the GLOUCESTER Multi
fer" themselves now acting with the "Arch Nulii .
her" spoke oil him fondy of his principles compli-
mentafy, OF his long deceased father reverentialy
OF his Republication ardently! All, hypocrites /!
You will find one day how well ye are understood.
ana no" hateful ye are to all who respect truth and
sincerity.
John Tyler has sgnally rsbuked these dastardly
time-servers by his Address to the American PEG.
pie. he has distinctly apprised them that he is a
WING, and means 10 eonsummate the objects and
wishes of that immense majority Of the Americ N
People which elected him; and were he not to do
so-were he 10 lend himself-a supposition which
is maginable-to the designs Of that impious fac
ton which has sought to erect an Office holding oil
garchy on the ruins Of their country's liberty and
ProsPerity-with what hootngs and e1ecration,
would his name run the gauntlet OF history! But
plainly ms he has spoken-cear and explicit ne is hs
Prosramme-CaibOHn's organs, the most proAgate
and shameless that ever dsgraced the freedom of the
press-afiect still great dotbts-pretend high homes
and disguise their desperation under the forms of
high reliance upon President Tyler's pyineipl,s :
80 they may rely upon his neiples-not, howev-
en- as in their hypocrisy, they understand
them. They have as much to expect for Loco 70.
cos'n from Mr. Tyler as they had from Gen. Harr.
son, or would have from Mr. Clay, or Mr. Webster,
or MIR Pres;on-no more.
We foresaw tina, Mr. Tyler was TO be fed on soft
corn by Loco FOcoism, and especially bythot mos,
maIignaD. variety Of it, Cahounism, but We had no
idea Of the degrading extent to which il vas 10 be
carried.

To THE EDITORS OF THE MHro.

Gentlemen: perceive, in your paper of the 18th,
that writer under the heading "a rare Phenome-
non." has added one more 10 the number of Mr.
r. NJ. I. Hunters redoubtable ASSISTANTS; although
ne seems much more anxious to display his own
scholarship, and talent for rdlcue-or rather what
he conceits to be SUCH than to attain any other OBJ
jecL The greater part of his communication con-
sists in most ridiculous attempt 10 show that some
writer, who signed himself "Amicus Justitia," is
very ignorant (as he certainly seems to be of La
tin: But in this attempt, most unfortunately for
himself, he has been guilty of still greater vanity
than the writer he Of it. That writer went
no farther than TO belray his gno ance Of one lan-
guage; whereas his critic has veniued essay the
OF no less than three besides his own, and has
Numbered most egregiously IN all; for there is no
such word in French "soubriq uet THE u in the
first syllable being an inierpo alton by the critic
himself; no such words in Dutch as "dunder and
bliIen," which he meant, presume, for the WI gar
oath in that language of "donner and bitten; {"
nor is there in Greek any such word as "Chronon-
hotonthologus" There is indeed such a name in
the tragedy OF Tom Thumb, as Chrononhotoniho.
logOs, which certainly sounds like Greek; but the
critic has mispeIIed this in the last syllable,
and thuSmade it like Latin Than any thing else
However, since hiss own orthograp ply probably
pleases him best, and the whole word seems to
have uckled his fancy prodisousy, would earnest
ly recommend him hereafter 10 adopt II instead OF
his own family name, while we, the people, will
call it MIR. BIS Greek.
VERBUM SAPIENTI.
r. S. AS TO his attack upon Mr.. Hunter,
shall only say, that gentleman is quite able 10 de-
fend himself, triumphanty, not only against such
an assailant as the great lInguist TChrononhoion.
Ihologus" but all others who may choose to waste
their time in attacking him.

TUESDAY MORNING. APRIL 40.
Faporabit nr,cs frem Lillt Ttnnes,,e.

Favorable ne,es from Linie Tennessee.
LAST APPEAL To the WINGS OF THE EAST
Letters of a late date from several quarters in
South Western Virginia, express confidence Of
considerable Wing gains in that region. In Mon.
roe, lately represented by Gen. Chapman. there is
no opposition to the distinguished young Wing.
Allen T.Caperton. In Bath, the chances are sup.
posed to be in favor of Geo. Msysc. Esq. In
Montgomery, the election Of the Wing candidate
Is counted on with certainty. So in Giles and Mer-
Ger. so also in Russell, where Mr. Smith, a for
mer Conservative, has taken the field on the Wing
interest, with brilliant prospects. The chances are
deemed equal even in Smyth, and Scotland in Lee,
Srayson, and Wythe, they not very unequal.
The Wings Of Western Virginia are doing their
duty and will considerably increase their strength
in the House OF Delegates.
n letter from a distinguished citizen of Mont
gomery. who has heard Of the apathy of the Wings
IN the East, addresses strong appeal TO them 10
make one more effort divorce Virginia from Loco
rocoisn, and range her in the noble band of 10
States who determined TO reform the abuses Of
the Federal Government. VIII Eastern wings
slight this appealf Will they suffer Virginia still
to anguish under the fatal influence of Loco Foco
Counsels1 Will they suffer her to he made tn,
dent Of Virginia principlesl
We ask them not to disappoint the expectations
of their Western brethren-not to permit Virginia
to relapse into Loco Focoism-not to suffer the
world to suppose them incapable o: consistency and
perseverance, in the cause Of their country. That
they have been stunned and disheartened by the
death OF Gen. Harrison, was natural and unavoida-
bic; but that should not divoSt them Of zeal and
energy. They should rather endeavor to repair the
blow than suffer themselves to sink under it. TOO
MUCH APATHY prevails. The Wings will be
beaten in various Eastern countless where they have
prevailed for years past, unless they shake of their
ethargy. In Buckingham Cumberland, Powhatan,
Petersburg, Hanover, Henrico, Caroline and Spot
sylvana, the Wings in imminent danger. Il is
still in time to repair the of too conhdng
eurty, and to avert the calamity and the disgrace OF
a defeat from minority. Reposing upon their
vast msjorty in the Union, the Wings of Virginia
have forgot that here parties nicely baan-
ced, and that continued cxerons were necessary to
preserve their aseendency. Let therefore enrcat
them that for the three days which are to intervene
before the election, they shall address themselves to
the work before them with their old zeal and visor.

Loco Foeo eandor aud Jar dealing.

~eV Toeo eenuoF dud jar dc6tng.
Since 1854, the Wing party OF Virginia, and
more especially the whissof Richmond, have been
annually abused for voting in counties where they
did not reside. Not one election has occurred since
that date, at which loud complaints were no, made
by Loco Focoism ut the exercise Of Ibis Constitu
t'onal right by the Wings and violent denuncia-
tons lavished on Richmond Tor her aristocraev in
voting where her citizens had ireeholds. The mos,
forward agent in rcviling Wings on this account,
and in stirring up hatred against Richmond for il,
was certain Tho. Richie, who within our per.
onalknowledge, has for at least ~ ye,rs pas,
every year voted in Henrieo, he himself residing
and also voting in Richmond We have often had
occasion to remind him of the fact, but with hi,
characteristic hardihood he has annually for seven
years, scoidcd the Wings for giving nonresident
votes, and annually given one himself
And where Is the man Of that party, who ha,
had the right TO give non.rt sdent vote, and ba,
omitted to dot, from conscientious scruples7 Show
us such Loco Foco, and We will show YOU a cat
with three legs Do we complain Of i'll Far from
H. we like to see freemen enjoy all their rights
and privileges. We have by US Philippic arains,
Judge Peter ", scoring him in anticipation, for hi,
meditated purpose Of going to Stafford to vote next
Thursday, he, according to the writer, having been
conspicuous railer against the Wings of Richmond
Tor similar offences; but We will no; publish il, for
we think the Judge right in the matter. But, mo.
aes'' am'a0'e, candid, reasonable Loco Focoism -
DO permit the Wings to stand on the same platform
with Loco Focos, and to enjoy an equality of rights
ane privileges, without being abused for i'll That
Is all we have TO ask.
There can be no doubt ,h.t part of the scheme
IN tins denunciation of the Wings for giving non
resident votes, was to deter them from the Polls.
and thus give the Loeos monopoly of the custom
for that Locs Focosm has practised ii equally. is
well known, and thatit means to continue to prac.
'ise IT, is evident from the following.

WINGS OF HENRICOi

Is 1t not possible for you to come to some agree
ment to unite on one Wing candidate7 Are you
aware that we are in very great danger OF being de-
feated by diyison1 Are you apprized that Loco
Focosm is in high spirits the prospect of Carrying
a county in which, last year, it was defeated by a
majority of 1871
II is too late 10 meet and reconcile differences
in regular way, it is not too late to adopt com
mon principle Of action. Concentrate your votes on
one man. II Impatient gentlemen will insist upon
urging their pretensions at an unseasona bic time,
and thus subject the public cause 10 the hazard Of
overthrow, that their wishes Of promotion may be
grated, they the very last class Of men who de-
serve support. Let them, il they cam gather votes
from Loco Focos, but let not the wings break their
ranks for men who manifest so much more socitude
for themselves than the common cause. Shertpiu
NeRGe has served you two years. well and faithful
y. Why houd he be turned out for any mani
Least Of all, why should he be turned out for man
of less experience, and less capacity for legislative
usefulness7 But above all when there is such
strong reason for supposing that his Wing COMPETE
tor, Mr. Goddn, has been nAuencedSy Loco Foeo
management to become the instrument Of dividing
the Wings, his own political friends, why should
you help Loco Foeoism to play its camel We
mean no disrespect to MIR Goddin, with whom WI
have long cherished kind and friendly relations; bu
we do believe that he has uneonsciously becom,
their instrumsni and dupe, as we know beyond
doubt that his course is the only one by which that
party could succeed in Henreo.
The Wings Of Hsnrico have the fortune of III,
day in their own hands. Il were weakness and fol-
ly TO thr ow j! away by dividing their strength.
