That it is conducted with spirit and ability
there can be no doubt We extract the follow
ing from the editors address,
We have announced our Intention to support to
the utmost OF our ability the present Admnistra-
ton. We run up our flag at the outset, that no
should accuse us of fighting under false colors,
and now we have nailed it tn the mast, determined,
come what may it never shall be struck. Possessing
entire confidence in President Tyler we shall devote
ourselves to the not unpleasant task Of placing his
acts and opinions in true light before the people, by
whose intelligence he is anxious TO be judged. The
President claims our support and appeals to aid,
not as new man, fedgng politician, with nothing
but promises and professions to recommend him, but
as an old and tried servant of the Republic who can
point to years Of honorable toll, and long list
of legislative achievements warrant for his char
acter and devotion to the of the PEG, le.--
Nurtured in the school Of the fathers of the
Republic, he battled for the principles bequeathed by
them long before his name was brought forward as a
candidate for the Vice Presidency. So well were his
democratic principles known that those who made him
their candidate for the second Office in the Gift of the
people, did not think it worth while to recapuate his
creed but alluded merely to the events of his past lie;
well knowing that his consistency and firmness would
avarn nor mi IN n from, he ho had
mark ed out And he has not deviaed.
Placed in the Presidential chair, he has been true,
to his principles, in the midst Of every temptation
assailed by the bitter howl Of faction If prosperity
has not been restored to the country it is because
faction has impeded the operation of the salutary
measures which the President and his friends have
devised to promote the welfare the nation The
party which has opposed Mr.. Tyler in almost every
act of his, aimed at the creation ola show of pros
perity-rather than an actual amelioration Of the
condition Of the country. Another bank bubble ia
glitter for while, then burst-an enormously high
tariff to plumber the many in order to enrich the few
these are prominent among the measures for op
posing which the President has been revied and in
suited, denounced as traitor, and branded with
many infamous epthet. His opposition tc
party measures, however, has not been the onl,
part of his conduct visited with abuse and reprehen
sion his enemies, in their burning desire to crush
and degrade him, have assaed him for acts which
none but an INSCRIPTIONS partisan could ever nam,
without respect. The treaty with Great Britain
a treaty which secures to US by peaceful
means so many advantages which, in al
earlier period of the history of diplomacy could no
possibly have been obtained without the loss of booC
and treasure, TO an almost incalcuablc extent-thi
treaty. we say, has been made matter of reproact
by unprlncpled partlsans and enemies of the Presi
dent and his advisers. When such things as these
are constantly occurring-when we see a Chief Ma
gstrate revied and insulted in the grossest manner
for daring to consider the interests of his country be
fore the interests of pary--it is time for honest
independent and intelligent men to rally round tn,
President and support him in the discharge of his duty
1t Is true, that matters have changed somewha
since the first assault was made upon the President
the first attempt to intimdate and corrupt him. ven
tured on Had he then yielded, he would have me it
ed the abuse that has been heaped upon him for no
yielding but his firm faith and constancy TO his prn
cPles has raised up defenders who compare most ia
vorably with his assallants. The name of Webster
perhaps as influential as that of Botts-and Spence
and Gushing are men who have been spoken of-mel
OF some note ard some ability--t must be conceded
