WING RESPONSIBILITY FOR a Loco
FOCo PRESIDENT!

The gross injustice Of holding the Wing
party responsible for the acts o! the exist.
lug Federal Executive, is lorclbly exposed
IN the annexed article from the A." IqdtpeRd

selves for putting il in the power Of acct.
, dent TO elevate him 10 his present position
but they beg forgiveness Of the country
for that. They did not expect and they
did not design, that he should he President
Of The United Siates-and truth TO say, they
did not dream, If chance should impose
INN upon US, Rat he could prove himself
so wanting, as he has done, in all the attr.
butes Of the Statesman and the Patriot
They have not commended his acis-on
the contrary, they have opposed and de.
nounced them. They have done all they
could to redeem the promises they made to
the country, aud they will steadGastly aud
truly perseyere under every discourage
ment. But they ask candid men, of all
parties, mol 10 DO them tho gross Injustice
OF considering them Identified with, aud re.
sponsible for, the ucts Of Mr.. Tyler. Re
leye them from this modification.
10 illustrate the Injustice Of holding the
Wings amcnable for Mr. Tyler's conduct,
take a single instance. The Whigs, IN
der lead OF Mr. Wise, asceriained and pub.
shed 10 the world, that MIR. Barker,
Comptroller Of the Treasury, under Mr..
Van Barren, was guilty Of palpabe violation
Of law, aud cuIpaLc neglect Of duty-by
which the Treasury los, hundreds Of thou.
sands Of dollars aud they insisted that MIR.
Van Buren, was as culpable as Barker, IN
retaining him in Office, Bot this individ,

risou's accession 10 the Presidency, was,
in accordance with the acquisitions Of
public scn,mcu, aud common honesty,
promptly displacod-has been re installed
By Mr. Tyler. Is u to be endured, that
the Wings are 10 lie held responsible for
this shameless ac,--insutiug 10 them, as II
is revolving to every sentiment Of honor and
honesty 10 the land They rcprobate II

cu,ed,
This is but one &C many similar cases,
which might be adduccd, independent Of the
ayowed treachery Of the President 10 Wing
principles, on the currency q0estlon---to
show that the Wing party cannot and
ought net to be held responsible for the acts
Of this Executive. They declam him and
hIs-they confess they have been betrayed
the reforms they promised have been de-
icalod BY treachcry. They are prepared
again to buckle on their armor aud fight

There is illbcrality in this procedure:
there is gross injustice 10 il. The Wings

not regard themselves as having any enc
