Whenever called upon by responsible authority
in public or in private in office or IN retirement
before or after an election, ever has he proiessed
himself conscientiously averse TO the charter OF
hideous monopoes, like National Bank
mo % exclaimed the Wing members OF Con
gress, when questioned upon the policy OF pub
fishing his letter to Wise) "publish IL not |!
Mr. Tyler's opinions are already known, and II
is unnecessary 10 array them directly against
those Of many who are in favor of Bank and
all who make the Bank test, can ascertain ms
sentiments IN the past, iohich hare nerer been
recanted, and no one can plead that they nave
been concealed, or that any deception has been
practcedn Such was the language OF the
" Wing" leaders after the. nominsion OF John
Tyler; and now, we appeal TO generous and
truth-loving people to decide who have been gull
ty of deception, of studied hypocrisy: these same
" Whgn managers or John Tyler? The man
who wished his principles known, and al
ways when he had an opportunity, maniuliy
proclaimed them--or these same caucusing, IN
triguing, shameless politicians, who adopted
such sentiments as they thought might best
serve their purposes, TO discard them when tn
umphant; and concealed under various dis
guises, such sentiments as they feared were dis
tasteful to the People to bring them forth into
reckless operation, as soon as hypocrisy was no
longer necessary
The great fault, the 'unpardonabe SIM
the President has committed towards the
Wings" and one they never eau forget
i, his refusal to declare publicly his intention
of retiring after the termination Of the pre-
sent term. 1.-THE first Cabinet should have told
them the truth, the rhoie truth, and nothing but
he truth"] Had he made such declaration,
he might have vetoed Bank bills and Fis-
cal Corporalions by The bushel, and his
conduct would have elected no groan from
them. On he contrary, they would have APP
plauded his honesty-lhey would have pro
nounced the praise of his consistency. He
would have been Tyler "honest and true"
The patronage of his Office, OF course, he was
expected TO have placed in their hands, as being
useless TO him, and Of immense advantage TO
the urtherance Of their wishes. He would
have been a rery respectable President, un
Ro iaineaut, with 1000 per annum, fifteen
thousand of which he could save" To this
end Committee of Congress waited upon him
informing him of the wishes of the "party :"
" That he should make public declaration of
his unwillingness to serve as candidate for re-
election" To this end another Committee
waited upon the Honorable Caleb Gushing, and
requested him TO inform the President that, if
he would retain in their seats General Harri-
sons Cabinet (whose continuance in office was
necessary for the complete Development of the
plans of the "parly') no further action should
be urged upon the Bank question To this end
the same Cabinet held on, with persevering te
nacily, to places they could no longer fill with
delicacy, or leave without disgrace.
These three reryreasonable requests were now
perhaps with some just expressions OF contempt,
firmly and decsively refused. And the "poor
Wings" thought they had not only cause of
complaint in the denial itself, but in the man
ner by which it was conveyed. Their entrea-
ties had been rejected and, as they SAID, with
COMMUNICATING them with the same awk-
ward feelings as those with which the uniortu-
nate lover complains of the treatment of his
mis- :ress
"When late attempted your pity to move,
Oh why were you deaf 10 my prayers?
Perhaps it was right to Ensemble your love,
But ,chy did you kick me do,cn stairs 2"
