Wing State Convention.
We are anxious TO give TO Mr.. Tyler, in the
discharge of the duties of his exalted and re-
sponsible office, hearty support, and it will be
wholly his own fault if we do not. He has al
ready compelled the wing party, almost as one
man, TO meet some portion of his official con.
duct, not only with dissent but open 'reproba.

natures if we had done less and the world will
find thai, if we have no other virtue, we have
that of integrity and faithfuIness to our own
principles. We mean 10 demonstrate that our
integrity cannot be purchased-not even by the
executive. with all his patronage and power
As national party, sustained by the strongest
popular majorities, and the dominant party in
the country, having carried into Office, in both
The great departments of The government, the
legislative and the executive, men of our own
selection and choice, it is crying shame that
any doubts should have existed or should arise,
whether we really hold power in both these de-
portments, or only in one. We will moi admit
the belief that the President has designed or de-
sired to betray or desert his party. That the
interests of the party, in some eminent partic-
ulars, where those Interests were identical with
the interests of the country, have been sacrifi
ced BY him for the lime, we must not hesitate
10 avow. Our trust is, that all this was not so
much his fault as his misfortune. Coming
suddenly into Office, without expectation or
preparation, he wanted time, as he himself de-
clares, for deep and deliberate reflection We
trus: he will faithfully improve the present op.
portunity for that purpose and finding out his
error, will correct it. In future we shall look
10 Mr. Tyler for better things. We shall hope
and expect 10 find him every inch whig, in
the true, national sense of that term. In this
character and capacity he will have the support
of the wings, and in no other, and we shall
fairly give him credit beforehand for good in.

means and what he is.
| It's understood that Mr.. TYLER has declared
since the dissolution of the late Cabinet, in the
most solemn manner, that his administration
should be thorough whig administration; that
none but wings should be called into his coun

will secure our confidence, and nothing else
will. We must see his new cabinet, with Mr..

of whose eminent political life, with all the ener-

world, by the faithfuness with which they shall

much we have a right TO expect and demand at

who consents 10 retain, or take office in the
Cabinet under Mr.. Tyler.
