PRESIDENT TYLER, AND so-FoRTH

PRESIDENT TYLER, AND SO-FORTH
"A number OF the respectable sxpenny" party
hacks all over the country, are making great fools Of
themselves in regard to their treatment of President
Tyler, for they are abusing him like pick pocket
and thereby defeating their ends, for the more
they reye him the more popular the Executive is be-
coming with the people
The public see now plainly enough that it i, not
the good Of he country which these political hirelings
have al heart but the election to Office ofheir friends
for no matter what measure the President proposes
they oppose t--and the more determnedly if it be a
good oneest it might be the of increasing his
popularity, and thus reducing their chance for the
oaves and fishes in 1874. +.
AT the commencement of his career, the ISLANDERS
poured forth on President Tyler had their efec! on
Us, and we presumed that he might be person but
little qualified TO do honor to his august station but
his manly and unflinchng conduct and the rabid and
unreasonable abuse of his enemies all sides of the
question: have so changed our opinions in his favor
that we think it very probable we may give hin our
vote for President at the next general election
The beauty of Mr. Tyler President is that he
is neither wing nor loco foco but the untrammelrd
First Magistrate Of People, instead of a faction. lie
does not mediate measures for any particular body Of
men, but locks TO the advantage Of the country at
large-and if he holds out to the end mistaken
IT the country don't prove grateful 10 him for bis man
hood and patriotism.
When Mr.. Tyler got into power he did not make
an lndscrminate slaughter of office seekers merely
because their political sentiments little at vari-
with his own /; and hence he was shameessy re-
vied by the hacks Of either patty by the one be-
cause he chose to retain good men in Office which they
filled with credit, to the exclusion Of bad ones, whom
he feared mig disgrace them; and by the other bo-
cause they foresaw that if he went on that way he
would become great favorite with the people large
who, notwithstanding the clanor they make in voting
in their officers, have strong antipahy to office
efs ~ ganet 2h1s the PesSn be
rality many of the persons whom he suffered to
main office, or who appointed thereto by Gen
era Harrison, working against his interests sub
rosa, which has come to his ears, and hence, rumor
says that he is about to make sweep among them,
which would be nothing more than natural, for any
man would be fool to give another stick TO break
his own (the givers) back.
Moreover it would he popular to kick out
about third of the Office cormoants and give their
places to men of honesty and moderation, like the
President himself; who would be likely to look
to their characters and the duties they paid
for performing than to the mere interests of clique
However all this may be, the President is decidedly
becoming popular and the papers which reviled him
SO ourageousy are as 50 many vpers biting at file

MIR. CLAY THE CANDIDATE

The Baltimore American, an acknowledged high
Tariff, Wing, Tippecanoe, and Clay organ in an ar
ticle upon Mr. Van Buren's visit to General Jackson
speaking of the probability Of Mr.. Van Buren, being
the candidate of the Democracy in lS43 says, "Mr
Van Buren, is gentlemanlike man, and respectable
competitor, though he was distanced in 1910. With
Henry Clay to head the bold front of the Wing pha-
lanx, and Mr. Van Buren, for an antagonist, we may
look for rery decent contest when the time of strife
comes.n
We may infer from this, that Henry Clay is to be
the Wing candidate in opposition to the Democratic
candidate. We not who is the candidate of the
great family of the Democracy, but this much we do
know, that Henry Clay in very decent contest will be
pery decently beaten The people know him full well,
and knowing appreciate his every movement, learn
ing from them all important lessons. We thought
"Harry of the Vest had retired from public" life.
But the nation is again to have an agitation in an en-
deavor to make him President. In 1890 he made a
similar announcement that he about to retire
from public life, and he has been in its turmos ever
since, trying to direct the whirlwnd and the storm
The Democracy would lleve have him for their OPP
ponent as any else, and they know that success
is certain to meet them, and high plumed victory
to perch upon their banner as that Mr.. Clay is to
be run.

BREACH OF PROMISE CAsE,-At the recent term Of
the Court of Common Pleas for this County an action
brought by Lyma 5. Smith against Samuel Blanchard,
both of Unity, TO recover damages for the breach of
promise ofmarriage, was tried. The plaintiff proved
distinctly that the defendant had promised to marry
her but, as it 'takes two to make bargain" the
defendant insisted by way of Defence that the promise
was all on his sidetha he had for long time been
DESTROYS Of marrying the plaintiff and had frequently
made proposals matrimonial to her which she rejected
or did not accede to, and that she, at most, in
tended (warnng girls y to marry him if she could do
BETTER but designed merely to keep sin tow" Until
he, at length unwilling to be any longer Tilted and
trilcd with, had made proposal of marriage to
who, regarding him more kindly than the fair Lyma,
at once accepted it. The jury found verdict of
5000 for the pantif-whether upon the prettness Of
the plaintiff, the rusticy of the defendant, the
merits of the ease, we shall not undertake to say

THE ExcHEoUER.

We do not hesitate to say, that even was there
fair prospect that within the next four years Ma
tlonal Bank would be Incorporated still the Exche-
quer should at once be adopted as measure OF tenn
porary relief. A National Bank, IL chartered this
month, could not be put in operation in less than two
years SO as to produce any sensible effect in the COM
munty. The Exehequer could be made available in
sixty days from the passage Of the bill creating IT, and
could be wound up in the same period, II better
plan should be devised. Considered, then, in the light
OF mere temporary expedsnt il should unquestion-
ably be adopted.-St. Louis Bulletin.
The foregoing, in our judgment, contains as strong
the Exchequer. II Congress would forthwith take
up and pass of the propositions-if not the
Presidents, let them adopt Mr. Tallmadge's or MIR.
Cushings, for either will do--they would perform a
lasting service to the country In every section Of
the Union we hear deep and solemn appeals to the
National Legislature TO do something to revive the
dropping spirits of the people, by enacting law to
give them currency that will pass in all sections Of
the republic. The freemen of the nation are look
ing with great anxiety TO our members of Congress,
who alone have the power TO relieve them, and they
will not be satisfied unless they come Immediately TO
their rescue.
Many desire the experiment to be made with the
Exchequer, who are opposed to Bank Of the United
those who desire Bank Of the United States which
cannot be carried at present. might with proprety go
in for the Exchequer until their own favorte mea-
sure, if the people should approve could at some flu
ture period be brought again before the national
councils. In every light in which the subject pre-
sents ITSELF we are clearly satisfied that the Exche
quer ought to be tried, especially il can be wound
up with the greatest ease if better system of cur
rency should be adopted Wheeling Gazette.

From the american Sentinel.

On reperusng the paragraph in the Sentinel OF
Wednesday last, to which our friend of the United
States Gazette takes exception, it strikes very for
chilly that the difference between is merely YER
bal one. What we termed g dbusen "profusely Law
ished on President Tyler by of his late political
friends, the Gazette calls "cense generally, ,car,-
ly bestowed by the Wing press" Perhaps the word
preferred by our contemporary is more correct than
the one used by us but the distinction is very nice,
and we thought that the terms tratorn sskr,dpe y
and such like, which have been frequently applied to
the President by of the Wing editors, deserved
to be called +" abuse" We find that some of the De-
mocratic papers expressed themselves even more
strongly than we have. The Trenton Emporium,
published on Friday last, the day which the re-
marks Of the Gazette appeared says that certain of
the Wing Journals are almost rabid."
What we said respecting the course of the Demo-
cratic press the Gazette confirms, and assigns what
il considers satisfactory reasons for it.
When we spoke of the 'one Q0ence,n the veto of
Guiding the two vetoes and everything said or done
by President Tyler IN reference to the two Bank
bills proposed at the extra session. in their inception
progress, and final defeat. We regarded the whole
transaction, and as constituting the unpardon
able sin which the President has committed against
portion ofthe Wing party We say portion of the
Wing party because it apparent that the whole of
that party is not in favor of the Bank project but
that many Of its influential members are afraid of a
connexion with that question The Albany Evening
Journal, LOT example, winch says that no living
man is so worthy of the Presidency as Henry Clay
deprecates the too early commencement of the next
Presidential campaign, from dread of this very
Bank question: and adds We shall be ready to take
the field when we are assured that United States
Bank milestone is not TO be tied about our neck but
we have Stomach for the fight while that rotten
reekng carcase is offending the nostrs of the people,
The strong movement in Pennsylvania in favor of
General Scott, affords another proof, however it
may be concealed for time, Of the influence of that
question on portion Of the party that elected Gene
raj Harrison

That indefatigabe of Virginia, Thomas r..
GILMER has made Retrenchmem Report in Congress,
Of great interest and value, The report recommends
cutting down the pay Of members to six dollars per
day, and basng the calculations of the mileage of
members upon the most direct route to and from
Washington Italso proposes to abolish the franking
privilege now enjoyed by Congress, always so posi-
live an imposition upon the whole country, and so
embarrassing to the Post Office Department. If
these proposed of retrenchment and econo-

effected pleasant little item, truly, for times like
the present.

what is more, decided friend and supporter Of John

The moral atmosphere of this great nation needs
puriiication-it is full Of scandal and spleen, affecting
the high and low, the rich and poor. The sun Of
heaven. is not powerful enough to disspate the fogs
Of malicious SANDER and the air is repete with the
echoes of the murmurs of disappointed ambition and
of ruined hopes. Scandal is caught up with more
avdity than new Paris fashion. 1t shows the mark
Of little mind to be the retailer Of scandaous sto
res whether true or false; and we envy not the feel
ngs of any pander to the appetite for scandal which
some of our public journals Conspicuous among
the papers which have abused the President and base
ly sandered Daniel Webster for year past are the
er. We not what these sandering publ
cations say themselves, for AS in the case of MIR.
Webster, they are soon compelled TO retract-
at the north will copy from such papers any part
will soon find il hard gnawing file The people are
becoming and more disguised with the pickering
of party men-and will soon throw overheard these
distur bers of their peace Those who loudly abuse
the present administration, act to say the least,
wisely; the people choose TO give Mr.. Tylers admin
isIaon a fair trial, and they will do it, If in their
estimation he is found wanting at proper time the
people Will inform him and put another in his place.
II Congress, or certain men in Congtess, had devoted
their time for the last five months to the country
stead of to partisan warfare, the people might have
been benefited and if those who have showeIed
much abuse upon Mr.. Webster not interested in
slandering him they ght perhaps be induced to look
at him with their own natural eyes, rather than as
they do through the glasses of the designing and un-
prnciped politician.
