THE ADMINISTRATIONS.

Phs position Of PIesden, Tyler has ceased 10 sur.
prise by its peculiarly but this feeling has been sup
planted by deadly opposition the part of that por-
ton OF the Wing party who are attached to lhe'te-
rests OF MI. Clay. This opposition has been evinced
in every possible manner at FIRST coyerty after the
destruction OF the Bank bills, by the inlerposi,ion o
the Executive authority, by curses loud and deep ell
gy burnings, and by addresses, branding the chef
Executive OF The nation with the of traitor and
calculated TO infiame the pTejudices and passions OF
reckless and unprincpled partisans. Even the halls
Of Congress- the seat of the collected wisdom andpa
tiotism Of the country, has been disgraced sith
repeated TRADES of abuse against John Tyler-aIuse,
indiscriminate and unmeIited. This abuse has come
from both parties-from the Wings, who hated him
for his stern and unyelding opposition to their ftvo-
rite measures Of exiravagance and doubtful if not ex-
ploded system of legislation from the Democratic
party because he was none OF theirs, but the choce
of the Wings Thus has John Tyler presented the
striking anomaly of a President without paity-pn-
pledged, unshackled-fiee to exercise the high snd
powerful functions of his office for the good of The
whole country.
And what is the character ana tendency of the
measures proposed to be carried out by the Aduinls
'ralioh} We answer first, not the establishment OF
| Nationel Bank. The two vetoes which have EN-
anated frou. the President, decisive this point
But this Is N,t all the views of the Executive
upon this suhJee. have been fully and repeatedly ex-
pressed to his eleV.iionas we'll previous since
There was no room tor misteke in this matter ard
when John Tyler received the nomination OF the Wing
party, as Vice President, II vas with perfect know
edge their part, of what his views were but with
| out the most remote idea it is tue, that he would
be placed in situation successfully 10 bring them
into action and thus conflict with then own peculiar
wishes Another point of difference In the policy of
the Administration from that OF the ultra.whig party
is the manner in which the question OF protective
| tariff is regarded. The Administration wishes to lay
tariff that will rae revenue sufficient for the wants
Of the Government and in laying that tariff to afford
incidental protection ltdoes not favor the imposition
Of high tariff for the simple purpose of protection
without regard the amount of revenue or the neces-
si,y of the Government The President is also in ia
,or of devong The proceeds OF the public lands the
payment Of the national debt, and opposed odisribu.
ton if those funds required for that purpose
| Such are the leading features of the AdminlstIa-
tion opposed to which is arrayed the blt9r faction
of Wings, with Henry Clay as its leader, who aavo-
Gates National Bank-high tarif-and the distrbu-
ton policy. We have ever entertained for Mr. Clay
the highest respect statesman and Tor the many
noble stands he has taken Jas legislator Toe
much praise cannot be awarded him as the CHEF In
strumentality in the passage OF the Bankrupt law
For this the grateful thanks OF thousands OF Amer
can freemen will be showered upon his head But il
the position of hostility against the present Amnis
tration, in which he has permitted himself to bt
placed, if indeed he has not openly assumed such
position himself, do we not witness the workings o.
an ambition, which, in the opinion OF all candid ane
truly honest men, must if successful, prove alike ia
tai to the interests OF the country, and the lure tam,
of its distinguished possessors
1t would seem a work of supererogatiol to adduc'
any arguments to prove that the Administration 0
John Tyler is emphatically the Peoples idminslra
tion--the whole country is represented his per
son--he has assumed the solemn obligation of exer
csing his high powers for the advancement of thu
great common interests of the whole. lie has NJ
minons at his feet--no party at his bacb-no ambi
ton to crafty in the faithful, impartial and ju
dicious discharge of the duties incumben upon him
The part Of wsdom-the dictate Of patrotism-th
duty of freemenall point to the sacred atty of sup
porting impartial and conservative administration
