BACKING OUT.

Governor Davis, of Massachusetts, has addressed
message to the Senate of that State, ION call of
that body for information respecting the loan of mus
kets and sabres TO the King party in Rhode Island,
informing them that it was the act Of the Adjutant
General, done without his knowledge or consent -
and that he has endeavored GO not TO espouse the
cause of either party in that State" Why then has
he not removed the Adjutant General who thus Sc
cretly furnished arms for shooting down the suffrage
party, while engaged in contest which concerned
no one but tlemselves-and in which he admits " no
other State has right to interfere; ~ He would
then appear little more consistent. The fact is, the
cause of the Sufragsts in Rhode Island is every day
growing more popular with the people of New Eng
land and mutterngs of disapprobaton of his course
getting audible the vicinity of roguish John,
that he is compelled to get up sort of an ex-
cuse for his conduct-Columbian .Ns,o Haren Re

THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS AND PRESIDENT
TYLER

We scarcely open Democratic paper from any
quarter of the Union, which does not contain or
more paragraphs commencing MIR. Tyler and his mea-
sures. Each seems anxious to out do its neghbor in
the ardor of its encomium, and the warmth OF It's
support. Never did any statesman, not even Thomas
Jefferson or Andrew Jackson, stand better with the
Republicans of the Union than does John Tyler at
this moment We annex two paragraphs taken at
random, from Democratic papers, as specimens
The I" Harrisburg Signal has the following:
"We observe that the Democratic presses are gen.
orally approving President Tyler's manly and indie
pendept course in vetoing the late obnoxious Tariff
bill This is as it should be- The President has
shown himself to be Republican Of the right stamp
His whole life proves him to be consistent straight
forward and truly Democratic Republican of the
Jeffersonan school. Future generations will look
back upon President Tyler with much pride and
satisfaction as upon other distinguished patriots who
preceded him. When the people shall have retoed
the present Federal Congress, and put better in
their places Government will again go as in the
good old days of Democratic ascendancy."
Speaking of President Tyler's veto Of the Tariff
bill the Constitutional Democrat" one of the most
influential Democratic papers in Michigan has the
following neat paragraph
"We are happy in being able to have it in our
power to give place to another VETO of that bold and
fearless champion Of constitutional rights, John Ty
ler-who, while timd and time-serving politicians In
other quarters suffering the walls of Constitution
al freedom to be battered down with impunity-has
thrown himself upon the long cherished principles of
the Ancient Dominion determined to live and to die
fighting the constitutional battles of his country"
