These very oracular and Ambiguous givings out,
have been caused by the speech of Mr.. Webster in
Boston 1t is very evident that the speech posi-
ton of Mr. Webster is not approved by the " corpo
rails guard"-and hence that useful class of menias
begin to show some symptomso OF teeth without very
evident power of biting. Hence the objurgatlons
upon the eleven offederalism thence the illusions
to the sold Jeffersonian patom'-hence the
praise of the "veto power" Now, as we, of the
Herald, are the Oldest soldier in the Tyler ranks

tolerable good cause we claim right to indepen-
dence of mind, Fand free utterance of thought in all
that relates to the administration
The policy of John Tyler, as we have always un-
derstood it, is neither federal nor republican, as it
was understood in l79S-nether of the cast of John
Adams, nor that of Thomas Jefferson. The attempt
TO introduce the claptraps of the last century-to
talk of the old Jefiersonian PLATFORM, the " old
leaven of federalism" is the verest old woman's
twaddle that a coerie of blockheads or bootblacks
could try. Between the two great parties of this
country, there has always been not difference OF
principle in government, but simply difference Of
prejudice and passion only in action. Look over
the history the government from the time of Wash
ingten, in the general State governments.
When the federalists succeeded the democrats,
or the democrats the federalists, each faction
naturally fell into the like line of policy

Gratis the las,--the ederasts created the first navy
the democrats the present, Up to the present day
the distinction between parties has been created by
rogues--fanned by lies-and widened by the cor
rupt politicians. Both federasts and democrats, in
the mass-whigs and locofocos-have always been
republicans-against hereditary monarchy-in favor
of the sovereignty of the people. The real differ
ence svery slight-a mere shadow-a Fictitious or
artificial difference passion and preudice-but
not amounting to aprinciple-heigh and exag
gerated by rascals and rogues, who make politics a
trade to cheat the people into their support. What
is now the real difference between the wings and
democrats of this day. Very litte-a quarrel about
bank-the disposition of the public lands-twenty
or thirty per cent more or less duty Imports-not
altogether amounting to single difference in the
principle of a republic.
