OUR COUNTY FIRST-POLITICIAN
AFTERWARDS

The Western Empire, Democratic paper,
published at Dayton Ohio, scourges some oil Its
party contemporaries for their wholesale condem-
view OF parties AMI men they at present APP
pear in this country. The Empire says, that,
within short period, the tone OF the Democrat
&c press is much changed and much more SEN
slble than IL has been prevlously-and, in this,
that paper does not err. There were but two
Democratic papers, in all Ohio, three weeks
since, that stood out in their denuncations Of
the President, and of these has now come forth
IN proper spirit We mean the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, which rejoices at the third Veto,
and concludes powerful article in the follow
ing words:
:" We say to President Tyler, go on. Act for your
country, your whole country and nothing but your
country and the gratitude OF noble and generous
people awaits you"
The Cincinnati Enquirer is the only Demo
cratic paper, now in Ohio, that continues throw
ing It's bile out upon the President; and why it
should do so is more than we can fathom. la
reply TO the Enquirer, the Western Empire can
didly remarks:
Would the Enquirer have the people of free Anne
RIGA become restless and changing and turbulent
were the excited populace of Rome during the days
Of her last Tribunes' Would it keep the whole
try forever unsettedl Can it not consent to treat
with deco UNI, with berality, or common decency,
man whom II has once had occasion 10 oppose Can
II find II in its power to continue to with the ORR
gInator-thc agent in the perfection of Democratic
measures-forever Is it very fearful that candor
and courtesy towards the President will ultimately
place him in the way of some favorite Democratic
canddate' We frankly declare, that we are not pre-
pared to advocate the claims of John Tyler for the
Presidency in 1874. We not called upon, either
by sense OF justice, gratitude, policy duty to do
So We are not even willing to agitate the Preslden
tial question But God knows that we perceive nei-
Their sense justice, policy in joining in with Fede-
raj Clay-whig in the wholesale abuse Of man, who
has hree times, within year, saved his country
from ruin and disgrace, and the Democratic party
IRON twenty-five years defeat And, what is more,
II the policy or dctum of the Democratic parry
qulres this at our hands, prepared to lay down
our editorial charge, and beake ourselves to cutva
ting potatoes ~
We trust this will prove salutary TO some Of
the Democratic editors and in all truth and no.
nesty, and without particle of political feeling in
the case, we ask not only the editors here alluded
to, but all who are free from sectional trammels,
and above mere party lines is it not for the good
OF the whole country to stand by President,
who, because he has done his duty, is to be
torclbly deposed, if force can do it? Are the
Democrats-are the Whigs-are any classes,
except the ay-men-prepared to see the Pre-
sident politically butchered, because they did or
did not happen to vote for him
We answer no! The time has arrived, as it
arrives IN war, when the biterest political foes
meet to defend the Government from common
danger. The time has arrived when all the
friends Of liberty join hands in protecting the
land they love from anarchy, and our glorious
institutions from disgrace, ruin and anniha-
ton. The cry of danger has gone forth-lhe
beacon lights are flaming in the yellow valleys
and on the snow-covered mounlains-he
tocsin Is ringing from ocean to ocean-from
gull to gulf, and the people already have thrown
of party ties to meet common enemy.
