bitterest disappointment.
john Tyler, President by accident,
has become a traitor TO his party, and
has converted the victory of the wings
into a triumph of The Loco Focos.
After twelve years of the most per-
severing and untiring efforts by the
wing party to redeem the currency OF
the country, from the state of chaos
and destruction, TO which ii had been
reduced by a course of reckless folly
and abortive experiment, and to res
tore 1t 10 condition of permanent uni
tormlty, when their doctrines had
been at length received by the accla-
nations OF millions, and complete
success seemed about to crown their
ardent zeal, their great measure is de-
ieated by treachery, and their shouts
OF triumph are turned into indignant
eXecraIion. Acteon like, they are torn
to pieces by the creature, who had
shared in their confidence, and had
been raised by their kindness.
Ever since the veto of a National
Bank by Gen. Jackson, this plan for
regulating the financial operations of
the country, and for furnishing a uni
form and consistent currency, has
been deeply and intimately mingled
with all the measures of the whin par
ty, and it has been universally conced
ed, that the establishment of a United
States Bank would constitute the most
prominent feature ola wing ddministra-
ZION. During the late presidential can
vass, this subject was most anxiously
discussed on all occasions before the
people, through the press and in the
halls Of legislation, and so distinctly
then were the lines of parties marked

prostltuting the patronage of the gov

supported solely by the force of their
principles, the march of the wings
was onward, and their success unsur-
passed in the party contests of this
country. The principal object which
Gen. Harrison had in view in convok-
ing Congress, was the speedy relief
OF the country from its distressing en-
barrassments by the establishment oil
a United States Bank. The State
