II While we lanient The dissolution Of the late

bccoDe abundautly manifest by The open
withdrawal OF his confidence, aud ~ other
woys not less significant, that the President
desired and Designed Ia bring other persons
into their places. We deeply regret and ds

President thought proper To adopt towards

~ the posts which they had filled with such
distinguished ability. We do no, deny the

that he could not have reposed his confidence
~ those, who had enjnyed the special conf.

sesscd the unbounded confidence OF The whole
family OF The Wings, throughout the entire

\ We ore anxious 10 give to Mr.. Tyler, in
The discharge OF the duties of his exalted and
responsible Office, u hearty support, aud II
will be wholly his own fault II we do no,.--
II lie has already compelled the Wing party,
\ almost US one man, to meet some portion oi
his official conduct, not only with dissent out
\ with open reprobation. We should have
oe-n iase 10 our own natures, If We had done
less ; aud the world will lind that. it We have
no other virtue, we have that ol Integrity aud
ianhiulness To our own principles. We mean
To demonstrate that our integrity cannot be

all his patronage and power. As a national

men,s ot the Government, the Legislative
and The Executive, men OF our own selection
aud choice, II Is crying shame that any
doubts should have existed, or should arise,
whether, We really hold power in both these
departments, or only IN one. We will no,
admit The belief that the President Inns de-
signed or desired TO betray or desert his party.
That The interests of the party, in some ernl.
ncnt. particulars, where thuse interests were
identical with the interests Of the country,
have been sacrificed by him, for time, we
must not hesitate 10 ayow. Our trust Is, that
all this was not So much his fault a. his ms
fortune. Coming suddenly into office, with.
OCT expectation or preparation, he wanted
time, as he himself declares, for deep aud
deliberate reflection" We tiust he will
faithfully improve the present opportunity for
that purpose and finding out his error, will
correct II. la future we shall look to Mr.
/ Tyler for better things. We shall hope aud
expect 10 lind him every inch Wing, III the
true, national sense oI that term. In this
character and cupacIiy he will have tho sup

what he means aud what he is.

of whose political life, with all the, energies

Il With faithful counsellors around him, en-.
we have right TO hope aud expect, that The
