Columbia (South Carolina) Chronicle;
CONDITION OF THE GOVERNMENT.
The recent intelligence from Washington repre-
sents the condition of the Government IN most de-
plorabe situation Not only il bankrupt IN regard
TO resources for the payment Of tie daily claims pre-
sented by its officers but its vital energies are pros,
trated by the rancorous hostltes which are carried
on against the Executive head by the contendng lac
tions in Congress-both equally ambitious OF power
and party ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Our Representatives APP
pear to have forgotten that they were sent to wash
ington to legisiate for the country and while eachPar-
ty hates the other with perfect hatred they agree
in rvallng each other in zeal for the embarrassment
of Mr.. TyLER's administration Such conduct de,
serves to draw down the contempt and scorn Oh al
who not blinded by party prejudice as 10 feel
for the honor and integrity of PROSTATE country
The President has been reduced to the position OF an
humble suppliant to Congress Tor the means 10 carry
on the Government and his solicitations have been
treated with disdan although reasons the most CO.
gent have been urged, and language the most courte
Gus employed in urging the necessity OF an immed-
ate provision for its wants. For ourselves, we RAISE
our feeble voice against the suicidal course, ana we
call upon the Independent presses OF the country to re-
buke this factious spirit Wehave not been the apol-
ogsts of Mr.. Tyler for his non-conformity IN some
points to the wishes of majority Of those who elect
ed him. We were disappointed at his course IN re-
gard to the currency, and have SO expressed
but we are not disposed to see our beloved country
become contemplate in the eyes OF the world, that
our opinions NAV be indicated, or the Wing party
magnifed in her downfall Mr. Tyler is but man,
and subject to the common infrmities oil men. Shaii
we condemn him then because he cannot think III
party traces on all matters that we may deem of pub
lie INTEREST," God forbid We are too sensible OF
our own infrmities, and have had too much expert
in the world to look for the attribute oil MALL
bility among our fallen race; those who seek ior
such perfection will have to travel to some other
sphere and search among different race to find It,
We do not see why then, both parties should not
unite in voting the necessary supplies Tor the support
of the Government. MIR. Tyler's administrator OF
il has at least the virtue OF independence, ior we
have seen nothing in his conduct recently that would
indicate servility to either party, liberal and J
dicious support, therefore, we cannot MINK Wouid
have tendency to leopard the interests OF elther.
1t is time, moreover, that party war should cease
and the country have some repose. IL the PriIe
movers at Washington will not consent to peace, let
them fight it out among themselves Ihey may Tear
out each others vtals if they please but let them DC

We are happy to perceive, however, u1at our "or-

to throw off party shackles, and ayow himseH tlie
friend of the country, although we are at the same
time mortified to learn that ms patriotism u,u NJ.

country, all political party feeling was quenched IN

and degraded condition in which it was no pacea.
The drafts of our Consus abroad had been protested
