In another column we have given an extract
from Wing paper in Pennsylvania, manifest
ing a disposition not 10 prejudca,e the character
of the Administration, but to Judge ii canddy
by its acts; we here append passage from one
of the opposite politics, printed in the same
State, indicating temper equally liberal. The
subjoined remarks on the fate to which the fame
and position Of every eminent man in this
country inevitably subject him, OF being the
target for the missiles of SANDER are Just and
opposite. We could never boast a great public
man whose character has not been assailed
whose conduct msrepresented, and motives
impugned. Not only are his public acts malign-
ed, but the veil is removed from the sanctuary Of
private life, and the stealthy foot of the SANDER
er creeps in, that he may discover the marks
which his malicious ingenuity will transform
into evidence to support his calumnles, not only
against the man, but against his wife and chill
dren and even relatives. So inveterate and I'M
firing has been the spirit of SANDER among US,
as TO exort the observation that both candi-
dates for the Presidency had been fully proved
if the half said against them were trueto be
worthy Of no other elevation than to the gal
lows. The successors of Jefferson and Madi-
son can hardly expect to escape the fate of those
illustrious Chief Magistrates. They should
consider it rather as subject Of self-gratulation
that, while they endeavor to make these noble
examples the prototypes of their actions, the
enemies of the Administration now reterate
the vituperation with which the opponents of
those two q eat men endeavored TO backen
their character.

JOHN TYLER.

There never lives man. it matters not how great
statesman he may be, or how conscientious or hon
est he is in the discharge of his duties but will find,
before he dies, enemies enoughto SANDER him, and
hundreds of villains to BLACKBOARD him. If John Ty-
Ter was as pure in heart and steadfast in principle
as St Paul, he could not reasonably expect to
escape the foul-mouthed calumnes of unprlncpled
political bragadocas hope to receive the TREND
ship of those who in reality but pretended friends
This is lust as impossible as it would be for man to
walk from Pittsburgh to Phadep hia In an hour
The greatest and hest men that the American Gov
ernment ever could claim, either as sons real or
adopted could not pass through life unnured by the
whitening, blightng touch of horde OF slanderers
and detested demagogues.
We are not Tyler men, nor did we ever support
him for Office but think it is the duty of every
good citizen to regard the acts fthe Chief Executive
in different Light from what many, who supported
him, now look upon them He is not infallible He
is as prone to error other men are, and more so,
no doubt, if his slanderers are to be believed be-
cause lie differs from them, nasmuch asyet he has dared
to act and think for himself in matters of pth and
moment This is the way, however, with every per-
son. il makes no difference what may be his situation
in life If he presumes to entertain opinions adverse
to those who are political friends. Nituperation,
abuse and Kicking ont Of The ranks, is what he re-
ceves for his pains, From this circumstance alone
it is wonder that the people OF other governments
allege select the worst men for Office because, if
the assertions of political enemies and often political
friends, are believed, none pear suCn immoral ana
disrcputable characters those who candidates
for Office.
But why should the Wings grumble at the course
of Mr.. Tyler They, of all other men, should be
content. They knew what his principles were be-
fore he nominated for the Vice Presidency, and
hence, if by the act If Providence those principles
brought into practice, constituting the measures
of the present Administration, let the resp nsbity
rest upon the shoulders of those who elected him
70 give an example OF Wing consistency, It Is but
necessary to mention the fact that when Mr. Tyler
was in Ptsburg, at the HARRISON Convention, he was
called upon to deliver his opinions on the subject OF
Tariff, and was prevented by the cry men who now
curse him, because, they alleged it was loco f6cos
who were calling upon him Did this act not show,
once they intended TO keep principle hid, and that
the election to be carried by great hurra e.
John Tyler like an honest and upright man, for VIC
believe him to be such, would have given his opinions
freely and without reserve, but deferred from
doing by course of dupliclty that even his honesty
of purpose felt indignant at, After such conduct il
i'll becomes the Wings to abuse man who was will
ing to make declarations for the public eye.

under false coors.
About two weeks since this person was married
10 very respectable and hard working sirl, who
