PRESIDENT TYLER AND HIS viLlFIERs.

PRESIDENT TYLER AND HIS VlLlFlERS.
II would seem to any person, who would read the
Wing journals alone, without having other source
Of information, that President Tyler every
thing but an honest man. Their journals filed
with such epthets as Judas iscariot Benedict Ar
mold, Sc, and applied to the President of this Repub
lie. And why? simply for the reason that with Ro-
man frmness, he stood by the helm of State, and
saved our Government ship from that total wreck
which mutinous Wing crew, who had, by decep-
tion gained possession Of the deck, determined
to make of her. Yes. when our ship of State was
threatened in every shape tempest tossed upon the
turbulent waters of the Wing sea, filed with such
shoals and dangers as those waers known TO be
threatened by United States Bank on the one hand,
and total bankruptcy on the other; on of which
tie Wing crew were determined she should be lost,
the President trusting to none took the quarter deck
in person, and with the helm in his hand stcadi-
ly steered on his course, until at length he has
brought the good ship within hail of the peaceable
shores Of Democracy, where he will soon repair all
damage ship has sustained, and having done so,
will dismiss his mutinous crew, new man her with
men from those peace bile shores, and WILL no doubt,
before his term expires for which he called to
the command of her, have her in a shape at least as
good as she was when entrusted to his care. II is
from the crew that mutined, that the cry of trail
tor Is raised against the commander; in other words,
the Wings in 1910 elected the man of their
choice to The Vice Presidency not supposng he would
be called to the Presidential chair They knew per-
one principle in common with them they knew him
to be Democrat and for that reason they nominated
him, in order that they might C Itch Democratic
votes, little thinking, however, he would be call
ed upon 10 administer the Government They had
their plans all fixed, extra session was called, in
order TO Immediately intict upon us that national
curse, National Bank, when Providence by his all
wise interposition, removed General Harrison from
among men, and President Tyler was called to take
the administration OF affairs then his true principles
were discovered. The Wings soon found out he was
not the TO sacrifice the best interests of his
try upon the altar OF Henry Clay's ambition, that he
could neither be coaxed bought or driven into n vio
lation OF his duty, and Immediately the whole "Whig
kennef' was lot loose upon him. The effect upon
him thus far has been, as far as he concerned
to strengthen HIM in his course and to create in the
breast of almost every well wshcr of his country
admiration Of that course which laticrly has been in
accordance with the wishes of the Democratic family
every Democrat now, will award TO President
dent Tyler their entire approval Of those acts for
which the Wings brand him him traitor
Traitor indeeI! as well might the Captain OF
yessewho successfully defeats the intentions of
tinous crew, be called tra by the owners after he
saved teiryesse and worked her successfully into safe
harbor. Let President Tyler 20 on in his present
course and be assured that after ages, at least will
do him justice. Let him surround himself with adj
vsers OF In Democratic faith, and adhere steadily
TO Democratic usages and principles, and the Demo-
cracy will do him the justice TO support him in his
endeavors to carry out those principles, and his
will be read in future history by admir- ng millions of
freemen, while that of his traducers will be forgot
ten, or that which worse, viii be remembered only
as connected with the infamy Of their acts
