"TYLER TOO.n

We give the following specimens of Wing opinions
in 1910 and 1912. In letter to his constituents
written by Ex-Governor Lincoln of Massachusetts,
June l4th lS40 he said
"Wlth Gov Tyler have myself the happiness of
a recent acquaintance. He has been long numbered
among the eminent men Of the nation He was for
mery governor of the State Of Virginia and late
senator in the Congress OF the United States and in
all situations he has been alike honored for enlightened
patriotism and public service, and esteemed for moral
worth and private virtue. rejoice, sir, that am
thus enabled to put il in your power to show that the
Wing party have placed in nomination, a candidate
,cho is icorthy the support Of The ichoie people"
The Richmond Wing, in speaking of President Ty-
ler recently used the following scurrilous language
infinitely worse than any employed by the most
Jealous Democratic paper

TIE REJECTION OF TYSON.

We somewhat surprised at the vote upon tie
nomination of this gentleman His previous COZ
frmaon, by an unanimous vote, to the Office of SUI
veyor of the Port Of Philadelphia was strong e.
preston of tie confidence of the Senate. What lie
has done since forfeit that conide nee we have MT
heard. But we do know that since he took charge IF
the Commssary department at Philadelphia he has
sdred enough from contracts to pay the entire erpeuS.S
Of the office! This is small matter in these days Of
financial paucty. And beside all this he was an
original Harrison man adhering to, and urging tie
claims of that pure patriot, when there but few
to do We hope that this fact had influence
upon the Senate.
II is said that many members who acted upon the
nomination, voted under a misapprehensen. If SO,
there will doubtless be reconsideration as in the
of DIR. Reed, Surveyor General Of Missouri and
Illinois That gentleman was grossly misrepresented,
and with such success to secure his rejection. But
the triumph of his enemies bfief-ther alsehoods
were speedily refutrd, and the best reparaon which
----il .ahe tney uiI ---L- .Lsy confirmed
him by a unanimous vote. If similar Injustice has
been done to Mr., Tyson, we believe there has, we
cannot but hope that similar reparaton may be made
We regret to the early friends of cold TIP who
have proved themselves and Jealous wings through
good and through evil report, thus cruelty thrust
aside

From the Pia,b,pr Dailu .ameriean.

Mr. Rayner, Of N c. in his speech few days
since in answer to MIR. Wise, and in allusion to the
friends of the administration said
''But If they thought, by playing this game WIN
the South, in the OF the Creole, 10 ge' up thc
South to the war point on that question, they were
greatly mistaken.
He did NOT concur with all the sentiments con-
tanned in the letter of the Secretary of State on the
Creole case Although he felt so indignant at the res
olutions of the member from Ohio Mr.. GiddingsD
which shocked every feeling of humanity IN justify
ing mutny and urder yet he did not admit that, IN
the absence Of international stipulatons, we had a
right to demand surrender of those slaves for trial
for those crimes. Neither did he admit that the Eng
lish Government was bound, in the absence OF any
treaty the subject to arrest and surrender them
fugitive slaves, although comfy and nationalrlend-
ship ought to induce them to do So and might war
rant us in making the request.
(Mr Campbell of S. c. called Mr.. r. to order)
Let me explain (said MIR. R) He did admit that,
if the British authorities nterfered to release those
slaves from the possession of their owners, then we
had a right to demand PREPARATION, and he for one
would insist on it, even at the expense of war itself
but he would not rush blindly into war when lhe
only benefit to to John Tyler, till every ehort
at negotiation had failed. He would go to only 10
save honor and preserve rights.
And in this let him not be misrepresented let mol
the gentleman go away and tell that MIR H. had made
a speech in favor of England"
One hardly knows what to conclude from this.
His strong prejudces against the administration, APP
pears to overcome his Jealous regard for the interests
of the South In his hatred of John Tyler he appears
willing for the present at least, to abandon all claims
upon the British in the Creole Let us T.
John Tyler! That's Of more Importance than the
Creole.

DISSOLUTION OF THE Union

In the last :" Lberaior," w l. Garrison annou noes
the approaching Anniversary Of the American Anti
Slavery Society, and states that one the prominent
objects now be aimed at is Repeal of the Union Of
the States and that this project will occupy the de-
alterations of the society at its next meeting on The
llth Of May.
In recent published letter, Gerritt Smith, Esq /,
remarks
{" thank God, that such are my principles, that /
cannot advocate the reelection of Mr. Giddngs un-
til have proof that his love Of the slave has become
strong enough to draw him away from his fellowship
with the slaves enemies Advocate his re- election
Why, where is the evidence, that he repents of his
crime against humanity, in having voted for HaTri-
and Tyler? Most cheerfully
would vote for Ellis Gray Loring for a seat in Con-
gress. II William Lloyd Garrison will consent TO
rhn for that honor will promise to 60 TO Boston, and
make electioneeIing speeches for him"

"BURNING ANXIETYn

The Frankfort (Ky) Commonwealth says that the
people have burning anxiety to place Mr.. Clay in
the Presidential chair The commonwealth is
most egregously mistaken about the people they are
not 50 warmly in favor of Mr. Clay as the editor sup
poses, nor have they burning desire to place him
in the Presidency as many of them had some years
since they have lost their enthusiastic regard for
the in consequence ofthe dictaoria and tyranni-
cal disposition which he manifested during the extra
session OF Congress Besides this, his measures and
policy are not popular as to cause 'burnng
etyn on the part of the people to them carried
into operation His attack upon the Constitution has
opened the eyes of many who before this ardent
admirers of the man. but they love the Constitution
OF their country BETTER and hold it more sacred than
they do any individuals knowing they well do, that
when the most conservative features of that sacred
instrument destroyed what remains will be but
abaseless fabric of visonthe barriers that guard
the liberties of the country against the encroachments
of those who would destroy them once broken down,
the whole machinery of our system of Government
IS thrown out of order and the people become the
sufferers.
That there has been a strong effort made Of late TO
get up an excitement-a "burnmg anxiety for Mr..
Clay, there is not doubt but that those engaged in
in il have burnt their fingers is equally plain to our
mind. Months ago and the Clay-whig presses gave
out that Mr. Clay about to retire from the Senate
and an attempt then made to get up excite
ment to persuade him to remain TO calm the troubled
waters" and "hea the dlstresses of the natonn-but
il was failure-a total failure--no body persuaded,
no one entreated him to remain, and those who got
UP the trick were mortified in the extreme. Again
bulletins were sent forth-the day of resignation
came--a farewell speech was devered--letters
were written, but all these fell like dead weight
no.'burning anxiety" was manifested A public din

JUDGE UPSTIUR.

The Secretary Of the Navy has submitted his views
to Congress upon the proprety Of recognizing the
Navy Department 1t is his desire to make the sys-
TEN of accountability, in his Department, perfect
possible. At the first blush his report would seem to
add to the expenses ofthe Government nv increase
of officers.
But we doubt not, that by adopting tie system he
proposes the Government will save large sums of mo-
uey after having met all the expenses o. the new
arrangement. Besides, there will be much increased
efficiency and despatch in tie execution of the duties
ofthe Department.
Judge Upshur seems to neglect nothing that can
be turned the advantage of the Navy or that can
give new vigor to that arm of our nation defence.
