MIR. TYLER was doubtless anxious TO DO every
thing to please his party, that he could do, with
out a sacrifice of principle, and was perhaps
willing to make some sacrifices of@that, as we
think he did: but he now found that, nothing
short of an entire abandonment Of all the princI-
pies he had alwavs prolessed, would satisfy his
allies, that he was considered by them mere
puppet 10 be worked for the benefit OF MT. Clay,
and that 10 satisfy them he must consent to be SO

and finding Capt Tyler neXorable upon lhS
subject. the Wings set about toshead him.
This they have attempted to do, by striving TO
make him odious TO the people. Every wing
politician, and every Wing press, have 6oen set
upon him to pull him down if possible: But the
,rrard scheme for this, and that which would
have been completely effected, if they could
have ACCOMPLISHED it, was the passage OF the
little Tariff bill, which MIR. Tyler has lately We
;ocd. Although the Wings have made great

done nothing 10 provide permanent revenue

besides Capt Tyler might veto it. Wci!' now
what is 10 be done! Why wait until the Iasl OF
June: pass a little tariff 10 operate only ior d
month, until permanent arrangements eau pe
made. if will no, he worth while to suspend the
on that account. Tell MIR. Tyler
and the country, that if that bill is not Passed,
no revenue can be collected, and the Govern
men, will be dissolved; lie will be compelled to
sanction it, or incu. the odum OF stopping tic
wheels of government; having once got 1t upon
the country, they can easily overcome the scru-
pies OF the suucamish and get them to 60 tor the
same provisions in the big tariff, for they under

could have scared Mr.. Tyler into the sanction
of the little Tariff they could by the same pro-
cess have scared him into the sanction OF tie
biz ono, but he headed them, and he has now
only to continue firm, and he has got them head
ed for good and all. The country will not tole-
rate such proceedings, and many OF those men
will find themselves rebuked for their course
when they return to their constituents. The
people are carried great way by party feelings,
in t.mes OF high excitement, bat they will grow
cool, and will not sustain reckless and unprlncI-
pied politicians, who manifest perfect wiling
ness 10 sacrificethe whole country, rather than
fail in Their schemes.
