be seeking to establish Tyler party we stop not to
inquire what possibly may have been the motives, the
| thoughts and intents OF Mr.. Tyer's heart IL Is
enough for US that he has acted az il becomes high
minded and honest American statesman TO act, with
courage, rmness integrity and self-sacrlhcng pa'r-
otism. The act good and 1t gives pleasure TO
believe that the motive was good also Let those VINO
deserve to be themselves suspected goabroad in seac
of bad motives for good conduct, honest men VIII
spurn all such groundless suspicious and be content
| TO infer good motives from good acts,
We have been induced TO refer TO this subject be-
cause we look upon Mr. Tyler's position as in some
respects most trying one, and in our opinion II
should command for him the confidence and kind re-
| gard of his countrymen. We have moreover, in
some respects fellow-feeling for him; as an mde-
pendent press know what il is to be by turns as
sailed and abused by the brawlng slaves of all par
| ties. But we have long since learned that he VINO
sincerely labors in the cause of his country, ms God
and truth, will soon find that all such assaults are as
| harmless as they are malignant and UNJUST
Let those who have been the most ylndictive III
their attacks upon the President now recur TO the
subject upon which he gave the greatest offence MS
| veto of United States Bank. However much they
may continue to rail against him with their tongues
and pens, in their hearts they must know and iee ina
/ he was right, that his wisdom and frmness alone
saved the country from wide spread disaster Sup
pose that he had stood out OF the way and allowed
either one of the fiscal contrivances which were
pushed through Congress not on their merits but py
the force Of party discipline, to become laws, where
would it have been by this time What capitalist II
the country would have risked dollar OF his money
| in the stock II would either have remained deat
letter monument of folly among the statutes oil tht
nation or must have been set in operation withou
money and solely on the credit of the government
| Such bank could hardly have stood over night
We may thank the President for preventing both IT
/ sudden rise and more sudden fall.
But we do not intend to review the particular act
| of the President but only to speak generally OF IN
! independent position. He has cut loose from bH'
party preudices from the influence OF unprnclplet
! combinations from the control OF profiigate politi
clans and has thus far borne himself proudly abov'
the waves of faction and corruption that are foreve
rolling round the seat of government. For tins w
honor him and commend him to the confidence AM
kind regard of the American people 1t IS "a nob
sight to see a chief magistrate chosen by the voice
of free people standing by the Constitution abiding
by his oath performing his high functions according
to the dictates of conscience, manifesung spirit
devotion to the OF truth, justice and his coun
try which shows that he would be hewn IN piece
where he stands rather than abandon the post oil du
or compromise his integrity Tor any temporary per
sonal benefit
Such is the position which President Tyler nov
occupies And long may he occupy lt-Long ma
it be before he surrenders hmslf as slave to party
We have heard rumors OF new combinations ana II
trigues to get up "Tyer party" We do not an
we will not believe them. new party would b
likely to draw within its circle the unprinciped, tn
. wreckless and discontinued, who have been cas-
off from other parties, Such men John Tyler coul
never recognize as his friends without blasting HI
fair fame forever, Let him rather continue to stan
on the high and Independent ground which he has 5
brayely chosen Let him not look for friends anon
cliq,lss of plotting politicians, either old or new bu
with clean hands and pure heart, let him go on re-
outely performing his sacred duty, and trusting
the justice of his countrymen. It were better
fall-to die thousand deaths while pursuing tn
course than to gain temporary success and appaus
by throwing himself into the arms of profgate polit
cal gamesters But he will not fall He will be SURE
if he continues keep himself aloof from the CORFU
influence of selfish party spirit that his name Will
all events be embamed in the memories of his fello
men, and be placed high upon the scroll of his coul
try's noblest heroes--And could this under any CT
Gums ances be,consdered a fall lsit not rather a
elevation, to attain which any good man might we
peril present power, place, and even life itself
