what we Would be Glad mot to
Say.
We are forced to notice, that great pains
are taken by the Loco. Foco press to hold
the Wings responsible for Mr.. Tylet's acts
and .course.-IIow. then, can we avoid
disclaimipg responsibility, and giving our
reasons 2 THAT Mr., Tyler was raised 10
power by the Wings. is certainly true, that
he has betrayed and abandoned Them, is
no less true. Both these facts are equally
well known to the world. The effects Of
the treachery are our misfortune but good
society, all the world are interested IN a
proper estimation and disposition Of those
who violate that good faith that is az neces-
sary to ,be existence, as to the we'll being
| Of society.
We there fore proceed to state why, as
component fracion Of the great Wig CONF
munity Of the United States, we cannot
consent to be held responsible for Mr..
Tyler.
I. He has renowned the name pf Wing
and made war upon those to whom he IS
indebted for his position and office.
He resolved on this Immediately after his
accession, and has follow ed il up from. that
time to this. The motive, we believe, was
to get over the difficulty Of the One Term
principle. and secure to himself the next
Term. This. we regard, as violation of
good faith on vital point, and in a most
momentous concern, inasmuch as I'LL must
acknowledge. that the great aim of this
doctrine was to cut of the incumbent of the
Pre- sideniial chair, from all motive to use
his power for such al end.
Q. lie has forced upon the Country the
One-Man-power, in its most obnoxious
forms.
| 1t is well known, that one great object
OF the political revolution Of 1910, was to
rescue the country from this influence.
8. He has done more to impair the
representative system, or our republican
form of government, than any other man,
In proof of this point, we refer to the
control he has attempted to WELD over the
represe natives Of the people, in the use Of
his Constitutional power, and the system
Of attacks he has made upon them, by a
corrupt and yenal organ, and by subsidi.
zing the press Of the country.
4, Our liberties and prosperity depend
upon the preservation and success of this
system which MIR. Tyler has atiemDted te
| If our representative system cannot be
maintained in the respect and affections Of
the people, our republican form Of govern
ment is at an end, because the two things
are identical. This is the sacred paia-
dium of American freedom. But MIR.
Tyler has undertaken to suppress it, We
need not define or declare the character
of such an aim.
S. Mr.. Tyler has usurped and used tue
powers which the political revolution Of
1910 aimed principally to suppress
We mean the powers of originating and
imposing legislation upon the country from
the Executive chair.
6. To this end, he has done al he could
to discredit the Legislative branch of the
Government in the eyes of the people,
Facts and events, equally known to all,
establish this proposition.
7. For these and other reasons that
might be named, we deem it important TO
disclalm all responsibility for, the acts of
Mr.. Tyler, and to protest against his being
regarded or spoken of as Wig Presi-
dent. He has renouncod the name of
Whig-is openly at war with the Wings.
and has undertaken, by all his influence
and Constitutional power, to subvert the
whole system of Wing policy. Il would be
strange if in addition to all the disadvanta.
ges Of such perfidy, we were to be made
responsible for the agent anil we are
surprised at the want Of manliness and
common fairness in those who say, behold
what Wing Administration has done and
is doing for the Countrya We should ex-
pect that all good men of all parties, would
make common cause against such nagrant
violation Of trust. 1t is painful to speak
of it but so long as such unsenerous
attempts are made to hold the Wings
responsible for such state of things, 10
pass it over without protest, would be a
dereliction Of duty.
We are often told, IS Let him alone
Why strike at a dead reptile ?'' Our
answer is--That the Locoioco press is
aboring every where to prejudice our
cause, by making US responsib e for his
acts, and that we are forced to dsclaim.
