MR.. TYLER'S TREACHERY.

In answer TO the charge Of Ireachery" preferred
against President Tyler by the Clay Wings because
he refused to sign their Bank bill, we showed the
other day what the Wing State Convention of Vir-
gna said before the election, the subject oil th9
views of both Zip and Ty," in regard to Bank Of
the United States. We quoted the very words oil
the Address put forth by the Virginia Wings IN io4o'
assuring the People that both Of these candidates
were opposed to U. s. Bank.
Now let US look back and see what the Ge0gis
Wings said before the election the subject OF the
exercise Of the Veto power In 1910, the Commi''ee
Of the State Rights and Harrison Convention OF
Georgia, who drafted their Address, and John w.
Berrien, of Clay's tools in the u .. SENATE,
was one of that Committee,) exclaimed IN rapture
What Republican can read his (Gen Harrison's)
letter to Harmer Denny, without admiring the Ser-
ling Republican doctrines it breathess The following
principles will be found laid down in it, proper 10 be
adopted by the President, riE :"
Omitting others which that Committee quoted from
the letter to Harmer Denny, we confne ourselves to
that part which related to the Veto power in which
the General states the cases in which President
ought to exercise the Veto in these words -
~ That in the exercise of the Veto power, be
should limit his rejection of bills to- lsi such as are
in his opinion UNCONSTITUTIONAL ID, such tend TO
encroach on the rights Of the States or indv'dua1s
3d. such nrolrng deep interests may IN has optn-
ion require mature deiiberafon reference TO
the oiH i the people to be osceraned at the succeeding
elections"
We ask those Wings who constantly so pousy
regre,ting the death Of "the good old General, and
telling Us how differently things would have been
conducted if he had lived-and Who claim to know
exactly how he would have acted, and TO be the only
true xponen,s of his principles-to read the words
which have italicized in this ex ract These Clay
lnen, who constantly taking upon themselves the
character of the only depositaes of the true prncl-
pies of 'ths good old General" have, Of late been
laying great stress the circumstance Of President
Tyers ha wing vetoed bill other grounds than its
being unconditional, and attempting 10 establish
the ple-unknown to the Conslitution-thatt the
President has not the right to veto any bill unless he
deems il to be in violation Of the Constitution. And
those few Of them who not prepared to assert this
desperate faacy yet say that he ought never to veto
except On the ground OF notwithstanding With
out putting them 10 the trouble Of looking back to
Veto OF Gen. Washi. gt0n' s,-exercised on the SIM
pie ground of the inerpediency of the measu,e,-we
call on them read this extract from letter of their
own "sainted Harrison, and then to look the People
in the face and justify, if they can their to-
wards President Tyler. Here General Harrison de-
clares that the President should veto
"Such bills as involving deep interests, may, in his
opinion require mature deliberaton reference
the will of the people, to be ascertaned at the sue
ceeding elections"
There is nothing here about the Constitution"
"Such bills may, in his opinion require mature
deiberation." This, among others, was "steriing
Republican doctrine of Gen Harrison, which excil-
ed the admiration of the Wings of Georgia, in 1910.
But if the good old General" had lived to this day,
and acting this "sterling Republican doctrine"
had vetoed Clay measure, and told the Clay eau
in Congress that he wished refer it ito the will
of the people, to be ascertaned he succeeding cleo
tons, they would have denounced the glorious old
Soldier and Statesman" Traitor: they would
have rung in his ears the cry of "he ONE man
power" and have called him "Despo:" and a
"Usurperq" They have acted thus towards Mr.. Ty-
Ter, for acting out the "sterng Republican doctrine"
of General Harrison. Thew would have acted so to-
wards any man who thwarted any favorite scheme Of
Henry Clay Reference 10 the ioiH Of the people !"
Why, that's just exactly what Clay and his Caucus
would, above all things, avoid. 1.-THE will of the
people, to be ascertaned the succeeding elections "
Worse and worse say Clay and his Congressional
Caucus Why the elections all going against
us and the next Congress will be dead against If
there be any friends of the memory Of Gen. Har
rison, any who did honestly support him the prin
cpes which he solemnly nvowed before the election
it becomes them 10 come forward and his fame
from the keeping and the of Clay and his Caucus
Congress.
