The Democratic 0soxsd.
The Democratic Review, in addressing Mr..
Tyler, as President, thus expresses itself in
relation to removals from office:
eve care not for your Offices; we want
none Of your patronage. Bestow all you have
to bestow on those who have been lanauishing
for the space of three presidential terms, afar
from the smiles Of executive favor, in the chill.
" regions of opposition. Let them be but
honest and honorable men, and we care not
who holds the public appointments in your
gilt. We would encourage, too, rather than
deprecate, the most searching scrutiny which
any suspicious may desire, into airy Of the de-
tails of executive administration, throughout
the whole extent Of its widely ramifed action.
Whatever abuses may exist, let them be fully
explored by the jealous vigilance Of the new
incumbents. Whatever useful reforms may
be suggested from any quarter, let them be
frankly met, and cheerfolly adopted. Every
such detection Of abuse-eyery such sugges-
ton OF reform, is common public benefit
and no party has an equal interest in the puri.
ty Of the administration with that of the de-
mocracy. Let the new brooms sweep as clean
as they can. This has always been one of the
chief subjects of clamor by the opposition a.
gainst the two late administrations, and in the
same spirit in which when supporting those
administrations, we denied the general truth
of those violent and random charges, we are
perfectly willing now, ourselves in opposition,
if i. be but fairly and honorably CONNECTED, to
court the widest latitude Of investigation into
them all. Reduce the action Of the Executive
branch as much as you choose; purify if ysu

The VEro.-The Madisonian tins notices
the reception which the veto has met, and set.
It's friends Alright on the subject of the Bank:
"As we expected, the Veto is received by
the wing press Of the northern cities with de-
cided expressions of dissatisfaction, while the
tone Of the opposition press is that of exhul-
tation. In insisting, as many of the wing
presses do, that an institution like the one We
toed, was declared for by the people in tie
Presidential election, they expressly contra
ing of the present session of Congress, which
stated that no definite scheme of finance was
concurred in by the people at that election.--
From one extremity Of the Union to the other,
in nearly all the public addresses made by the
successful party, tie question Of a National
Bank acas decidedly kept out Of riec. The can
didates for the two highest Offices of the Gov
eminent never had been known by a vote, or
writing, or speaking, in the whole course of
their lives, to advocate such an institution;-
but, on the contrary, if language has any mear-
ing, they had upon every occasion placed Them
selves expressly in opposition to 1t. They had
voted side by side against it in Congress, and
they had concurred in their views of the ques-
ton whenever and wherever expressed. The
present President had declared the incorpora-
ZION of Nation al Bank unconstitutional in
every form of words, and no man in the Union
had more often repeated the declaration. The
convention Of sagaciors and experienced meR
at Harrisburg in 1889, could rot have been ig-
norant of the fact. Their memories need not
have travelled hack beyon FIVE years to bring
before them tue able and elaborate exposure of
tie corruptions, through its discountng pow
er, of the late National Bank, wrought out by
the hands of the candidate they had selected
for the Vice Presidency. Nor did they need
reminding that he had, during MS life, cher
shed but one set of constitutional principles,
and tina, he had been Arm and consistent IN
their maintenance. 1t would be a libel on that
convention 10 suppose tnaI tHey Hdu SSicCIGu
candidates of whom they had no knowledge
and knowing them, they could not have con-
ceived such fraud upon the people, as to pre-
sent them in their true characters at the polls,
expecting them to be changed when power
should be attained"
SiIas S. Burrows, Esq. in letter to the ed-
itor of the New York Commercial Advertiser,
says
1--WE fought for principles too high to DO
reached by clause in Bank Charter, which
subject it is but honest to admit a0as excluded
from discussion generally by the wings during
the last contest. Our opponents desired to JOIN
issue on this subject, but 1t was resisted almost
Invariably Mrou ghout the land"
Can the wings honestly assert that the ques-
ton of Bank or no Bank was before the peo-
Pile at the last election!
Mn. B1DDLE.--This notorious personage,
who, a few months since was lauded TO the
skies by every wing paper in the Union. and
who they again and again wrote should be
made Secretary of the Treasury, if ever that
party got possession Of the reins OF govern
ment. is thus noticed by the New York jour
nal OF Commerce, paper which but tor Its
honesty, would be the leading paper IN that
city:
sAs to Mr.. Biddle, the Phladelphians say
that he has lost his morning smile and iordiy
step. and even seems detected at the universal
neglect with which he is treated by all respec-
table men. A few years since, he walked IN
