MR.. TYLER AND THE DEMOCRACY.

Mr. Lane, a Wing member of Congress from lndi.
ana, in the Of the discussion upon the Iarih
message, only denounced it and the President but
assailed his motives lie accused h,m OF having
truckled and trimmed, with view to re eecton,
and The support of the Democracy. "Mr. L. contend
ed that the whole object of the President looked 10 the
succession and he asked If the honest Democrats 81
the country lcefe milling TO surrender up an metr
principles merely for The sake Of making John Tyler
President second term. 1t was but lately that the
President had found that the preservation OF the
Compromise indispensable condition to the
distribution of the proceeds OF the pubic lands In
the Virginia Legislature-in the Henrlco letter In
all the former declarations of the President such
condition annexed. This repeal fine Distrlbu-
lion loas Of the hard conditions lohch the De-
mocras ,oouid gue their SUPPORT and aotch the Poloer
efhe President compelled MIN 10 accept"
The logic OF The member from indiana is not cohe-
rent IL scarcely les. than pa able contradiction
If Mr. Tyler has made CONCESSIONS, or "hard condl-
tons, to the Democrats surely the latter are mol call
ed upon to surrender up all their prncip es to hun.
And it they surrender aforesaid, then Mr. Tyler
can not be sa have abandoned his ground, OF to
have col plied with hard Conditions
The appeal, from a very active Wing partisan OF
the har cider" faith and practice, to the honest
democrats of the country" warning them against a
surrender Of all their principles he has
all along assaed as emlnently wrong and destruc-
u'e'-ls sufficiently curious If not udIcrous. II II
sincere and well intended, il would be next to
absurdity. But 1t is papable perversion OF the
question. Neither surrender OF their principles,
nor surrender " for the sake of making John yer
President second time, orAs any part OF the ISSUE
The succession and the Presidential Office matters
which the National Convention will dispose OF. The
+" honest Democrats OF the country" viii ABIDE the
decisions Of that body. Meanwhile no =" surrender
of their principles IS required of them, contem-
plated the part The question is, snail they sus-
tain the President in the exercise OF his high
functons-n st and constitutional views OF puoiic
questions-In sound and right measures Surely no
g honest Democrat will hesitate to go so far

MR.. CLAY STABBED-TROUBL
AMONG THE WINGS.

We clip the following items of blood and
murder from the Washington correspondence
of the New York American. Should Mr.. Clay
survive the wound, we may soon expect small
assortment of thunder and lightning from Ash
land The Charles must be better regulated,
or "Captain Tyler" will manage to get MAORI
" in the House before the end of the session.
Poor Marshal! how he has faded, according
to this writer GA dull speech J"
Mr.. AJams's speech yesterday was an unfortunate
one for himself and far his exertons went for that
party that have almost ruined themselves in his de-
fence this very session Ii he had finished ten min
utes before the close Of his hour it would have been
better his character and the prosperity of the
try He disgrace himself by his awkwardly intro
duced puff Of MARSHALL "man who comes intr
this House with his face and hands dripping with the
blood OF fellow citizen.
And this is the man whom John Quincy Adams
goes of his way to praise, by false display OF
magnanimity which he should not feel towards such
man
Marshalls speech was dull thing, as far from eIo
quence any speech that have heard this session
John Quincy Adams should have thought of the rule
must be a good man. Mouthng, ranting declama-
lions about honor good faith and virtue from such
source scken and dsgust such hearers a. are justly
conscious that these professions lack the eoquence
of truth.
Mr. Adams also gave stab to the Wing party and
to Mr. Clay in his comments on the Compromise act,
which he denounced =" conspiracy between
Clay and Calhoun to sacrifice the North to the South
and West.

dency OF his country for such mess OF pottages
Who compromised the interests of those that
placed all their confidence in him, TO seek the
passing breath of popular favor2 Who ever
wished ''war. pestllence, and famine" 10 fall
on his fellow-clllzens, rather than have his per-
sonal malice remain unqualified
But enough; if such man, after all this,
should propose to pull down the Constitution OF
your country, to make its provisions mere traces
in the sands Of the sea shore-if such man,
with torches in the hands Of hundreds OF follow
ers, urges them on to destroy the sacred temple
of liberty, that he may be allowed to rule over
you with rod of iron-if such man, say,
exists, has not CRISIS arrived in our affairs,
which should arouse every American from his
slumbers? Yet none can plead ignorance ofits
existence, for the warning voice of the sentinel
has gone forth, and let all be prepared, that the
ISSUE does moi be such as we shall hereafter set
forth.

ANOTHER VETO.

The President has again won the appreciation of
the democracy Of the country by his Veto of the lit
tie tariff bill" He signed the Land Distribution ct
in September with the express understanding of
friend and foe that he would not favor the dlstrbu
ton Of the land money among. the States when the
eXgencies of the Gov rnment required the duties
upon imports to be at hig rates than 20 per cent
The Wing majority in Congress we'll knew that he
would not sign any bill of different character and
they therefore framed their law with express re
ference to the views of the Executive in the pre-
Misses
Well knowing that the wants Of the Government
required higher duties than 20 per cent, and deter
mined tuat the States should have The land money at
all events, the Wing majority apparently delayed
their action upon the tariff until just the moment
when the Compromise act of 1888 to go into full
action. Thy appear to have acted under the mis-
taken impression, that no duties could be collected
under the law of 1885, without further legislation
and to have determined through the nstrumentality
OF bill to continue existing laws in force for one
mon h. to compel the Pr sdent TO yield his opposition to
the land distribution, when the duties above 20
per cent. go without supplies for the Government,
from the supposed Insufciency of the laws for the
collection of revenue.
Their attempt to "head Capt. Tyler" has been signal
y unsuccessful. They cannot force him from his posi-
ton, and they cannot stop the collection OF revenue;
and more than all, they not to have the land mo-
ney. On the Government goes, and will co. in spite
of their petty Vaccinations of mischief.
Tue Veto is cument of much ability and inge-
niousy devised. 1t throws the whole responsibility
upon the Wing majority. The President exposes the
lmpolicy Of giving away any portion of the public
funds when the Treasury is VIGOROUSLY deficient and
the public promises are suffering under protest for
non-payment He tells them that duties at 20 per
cent Will not produce revenue sufficient for the
nomica support of the Government, even with the
aid of the land mon,y; and that the wants of the
Government and the country demand such tariff as
will raise adequate revenue. To such bill he
will be ready to give his approval as speedily as it
be adopted If, therefore, the advocates of in
creased duties do not get the benefits which they
look for from such augmentation, they NUT place
the responsibility of their disappointment, not with
the President, but with the Wing majority in Con-
gress, who manifest disposition to sacrifice every
other deratlon to their determination have the
land money for the States. The principles of the
Veto, and the manner in which they are expressed,
ii is believed will receive the unqualified approval
OF the democracy OF the country.

AN M. C.-WHO is 1T 2

The Baltimore (Clay) Patriot publishes a let
is from the pen of distinguished member OF
Congress-" We make the following extract
the italics are his own:
'.Lfa1e had been so fortunate to haze had at the
head Of affairs man srho 1oouLd hare co-operafed
loih from the beginning IN carrying our measures
into effect, mould hare closed this session tpo
months ago."
Now we do not wish to charge an honorable
gentleman with asserting deliberate lalsehood
and it is unnecessary In this and all other in
stances. 1t neuer does any good. But we may
be permitted to assert that the only Veto this
session, occurred only some ten days ago, and
that if Congress had adjourned ''two months
ago." it would, Of course, have been escaped.
If the President vetoed no bill during the first
five months Of the session, in what way did he
fail to cooperate with Congress? Did he not
urge prompt action? Did not the aohoLe pre-,
of the country beseech, urge, command Con-
gress to waste no time in Presldent-maklng
but TO make the necessary laws without de-
lay?
And vet this honorable veracious member
has the mpudence TO tell us that want OF CO.
operation on the part of the President is the on
ly reason that they did not get through with the
business of the session and adjourn two months
ago! Why it was at the end of the seventh
month of the session that the President vetoed
the twelve line bill, which was only lew days
passing through the House And yet Con-
gress would have adjourned at the end of the
fifth month if it had not been for the eternal
Veto! These are the creatures that charge the
President with inconsistency We shall wait
for the People to speak.

PRESIDENT TYLER,S OPINIONS.

We published yesterday the excellent letter Of
President Tyler in answer to Lis friends who cele-
br ted the day at McArans Garden. Any one who
will peruse it with candor and impartlalty, will find
in it brief but very satisfactory hi ry of the
course of President Tyler in relation to the most ex-
citing public questions that have agit ted the coun
try 1t need only to be perused to see where the iau
lies in relation to the present unfortunate condition
of the money concerns of the public 1t will open
the eyes of all parties to the fair and manly course
Of the present Chief Magistrate Of the country.
In this valuable letter he siys:-"YMost gladly
,oould approve of any bill harng reuenue for its object,
and the protection Of anJactving interests as Us nc-
DENT ,ohich should be presented TO me ncone cted 'o
matters haring necessary qidtion, andchich are on
Ia calculated 10 eo,b r,ass the Erecutipe action"
And yet with this public avowal to the nation, it is
gravely proposed by some of the Wing papers to
keep Congress in session TO match the Executive We
tell these gentlemen that the eyes OF the people
are closely fixed upon the track of those partisan
Congr ssmen who are more anxious to head the Pre-
sdent than to serve the country.

From the Richmond Enquirer.

fculties, viz "lst. well-regulated Bunk Of the u
So The Distribution of the proceeds OF the pub
lie lands. And Sd. A free and liberal Tariff, that
by proper discrimination would furnish incidental
protection to our domestic interests and manulac-
lures" Bank Tariff! and Distribution A pretty
highly seasoned Federal DISH But as Mr.. Tyler is
heading m st of these schemes, Mr.. Bolts has pa
nacea for him also-Impeachment, ay, impeachment
is to be the sword hung over Mr.. Tyers head. "Let
the public mind become famiarized to the term inn
peachment and let all vain weak and vicious men IN
high public trusts tremble at the sound" So writes
the Hon. John Minor Botts.) And if the sound will
not be sufficient to 'frght Mr.. Tyler from his propr
ety"-(and who now believes, after the example we
have just had, that Mr.. Tyler can be inundated
from his course why then the articles OF lmpeach-
ment are drawn-and the effort may be made, If not
to convict him by lwo-thrds, TO attempt to suspend
him from his functions Ascheme so factlous will
rebound upon the heads of its authors and will per-
s. cute the intended victim into higher popularity,
new sympathies and firmer support.
