PRESIDENT TYLER AND THE WING
PRESS.

| 1t must have caused much pain TO every man who
has been, from good motives, engaged in bringing
about the great triumph lately achieved over the
late dominant party in this country, TO witness the
uncha Itable construction Of President Tyler's late
course in relation the Bank hill and the harsh i'm
pu,ations Of sinister and selfish motives, made by
those who have hitherto professed friendship for him
and to the great party by which he was elected
If our friends will but forget for a single moment
any disappointment which may have been occasoned
by the failure of the late Bank BILL they may remen-
Der that, although we should admit for the sake of
the argument, that this was measure upon which
the Opposition to the late Administration were united
yet it was by no means the only and paramount mea-
sought to be gained at the present session Of
Congress There many other great objects
sought, large number of which have been already
accomplished measures of the greatest Importance
to the welfare and happiness Of the present and future
generations To them the President has cheerfuly
given his appreciation. Other objects demanded by
the peope-the removing of unaithlul and unfit pub
lie agents-the reformation of abuses in the various
branches of the Government coming within the juris
dction of The President, have, to extent, been
atai ned, and will we hope and believe, yet be fully
accomplished
We ask, then is it Just and is it charitable assa
the President with the abnsive and harsh
with which some portions of the press teemng
Is il just TO charge him with unaithfulness TO those
who elected him, because he happens in carrying out
the long entertained and openly professed opinions of
his whole life, to in collision with portion of
his friends with whom he agrees and acts in amos,
all other matters of public pocy7
N oh all ~,
him the desire of avorng his bitter political enemies
at the expense of his friends is absurd it
incorrect, to attribute TO him any wish intention of
separating from those with whom he agrees upon
nine points of political doctrine, though he may moi
agree with them upon the tenth. We believe, after
the din and clamor now pervadng parts of the
country shall have passed away, that friends WILL
upon cool reflection, agree with u.s. that the failure of
a measure which may have been favorte with
some portion of them, will result in good to all.
We quite certain that majority of the people
are satisfied that National Bank of discount j.
neither necessary desrabIe-and we are equally
well convinced that many months will not have elapsed
before they will discover unobjectionabc mode
by which all desirable ends will be attained and all
portions Of our political friends become satisfied,
Mean time it is TO be hoped that will not seek
to discover sinister objects such have been attrbut-
ed in the action of the President Those who sup
pose that he has willingly and without great pain to
himself caused disappo ntment to any of his political
friends or that he has acted from desire to please his
political opponents, are unacquainted with tie charac
ter of the man. and do him gross injustice
