EXCERPTS FROM THE NEW YORK COU
RIER AND ENQUIRER

If Colonel Webb's political associates in Con-
gress complain Of the gentle hints Of the Madi-
sonian respecting their factious motives what
will they say TO this "backing of their friend ?''
The Colonel (oi the regular army, abiding to
the assertions of members, that officers and
soldiers can be made in day, says;
I'VE do not believe they entertain any such opin-
ions, and yet, from their official conduct such is the
fair Inference and if the public should unite in pro-
nouncing them set OF FOOLS they hare nobody to
blame but themselves. But the truth is, that there
is something than folly in all this proceeding.
There is selfshness and wickedness about it,
which calls for prompt condemnation by all parties
and all presses"
This PAROLES will have the impudence next
to call them the presidents fools" Let him
beware of a plot"
Hear the revelations of this valiant bndiold-
ed prisoner:
" Here have Congress boldly striking at the
most necessary and cherished institutions Of the
country under the plea of economy, while the very
last subject of retrenchment which occurs TO them,
is their own expenses. They squander hundreds of
thousands upon themselves in the way Of pay and
emouInents for doing nothing and yet seek to re-
trench public expenditures by enactng that although
they will not appoint as many Captains and Lieute-
nants in the Navy as the wants OF the country de-
mand those who are called upon to perform duties
not pertaining to their stations shall not be paid for
such duties This is spirit of liHieness utterly UNI
becoming an American Congress 1t is disgracetu to
all concerned and cannot fail to reco with just
verify upon those who can for moment put forth
sustain such legislation. Why the extra mileage
alone which Congress annually pockets would pay
ten times over the whole amount of the payments
made to officers of the Navy for services rendered in
grade higher than that to which they belongs yet
no one of these sage and economical Congressman
ever thinks of retrenchment there. The average
expense of travelling hundred miles in country
is less than five dollars and yet every member of
Congress very promptly and cheerfully votes to pay
himself FORTY DOLLARS for every hundred miles ira
yelled They unwilling to hundreds Of thou
sands in this item, because they would themselves
be the sufferers while they very cheerfully agree to
some nve ten thousand dollars per annum By
refusing to give lieutenant the pay and emoluments
of captain when compelled to perform the duties
and incur the expenses of the additional rank

PRESIDENT TYLER's POSITION is altogether un-
precedenled, and would seem to have been
brought about by Providence, TO test the dis.
cernment and patriotism of the great uncor-
rupted mass of the People. How interesting the
experiment to all the friends of true liberty Can
there be spectacle of greater moral sublimty :?
Behold the unsophisticaed patriot, rocked in
his infancy, in the very cradle of freedom,
reared in the school of Jefferson, and mbibing
all his principles from the very fathers of the
Republic. Educated at old, time-honored
JViiiiam and Mary, where doctrines hostile
to equal rights could no more grow, if planted,
than a mouse could live in an exhausted re-
ceiver When has our beloved country en-
joyed, since the days OF Washington, stronger
guarantees of public virtue and virtuous action,
on the part Of her Chief Magistrate Who could
doubt that such man would be willing to
submit TO any sacrifce-to oblo1uy-to mar
tyrdom-sooner than submit the power which
Providence hid placed in his hands, to be
made stalking horse for unholy ambition
Hence the chagrln OF some secret, but ilcon-
cealed chagrin, at his elevation. All who knew
the stern stuff Of which John Tyler was made,
as all did who knew any thing Of his public ca
reer, knew at once that here was a man
with whom the good Of his country and
his own conscientious views Of the Con-
sttution, would ever be paramount to
party. Such nan it was but too obvious
could never answer as a tool for demagogues,
| nurt,rod in a ,olitical otmnc nh orc whore cor
ruption has no aliment to subsist upon. John
Tyler has been content in the bosom of large
and interesting family, bestowing on them every
useful accomplishment, himself exemplilying
the manly and patriotic virtues he inculcaed
If, for the good of the Republic and in obedi-
ence TO the urgent call of the honest yeomanry,
he has left his retirement to serve his country,
he has invariably done honor to the station and
when required, under whatever influences, TO
lay down his cherished principles, has he not
preferred to surrender the trust that nothing
could tempt him to abuse? Contemplate him
how far the People will support an Executive
who prefers the honor and welfare of the coun-
try TO the triumph of any party or any party
leader, Were his views less pure and exalted
than they are, where is his inducement to abuse
his trust2 Assaied by the utras of both par
ties, what motive can he have but the good OF
the Republic Disdaining to prostitute his
| high office to the schemes of ambitious polltl
clans, he has no organised party OF hacknled
partisans at his command thus he cannot If he
would he would not if he could, as his con
duct has abundantly proved, lose sight OF The
great object of all good government-the ret
fare Of the Peopiei Let it not be doubted tina
the People will see this, and, seeing it, will sup
port him against political ultra leaders, whose
only hope is to rise by the force Of party man

Mr.. Clay's withdrawal from the Senate appears to
have been preconcerted signal Of attack by that por
ton of the Wing press favorable to his elevation to
the Presidency and by his adherents throughout the
Union upon the administration of John Tyler, The
administration of Mr.. Tyler to be ehectually bro
ken down, in order, is alleged, that Mr.. Clay may
have clear track for the campaign of 1914. The
Clay Wings have declared themselves no longer re-
sponsble for the acts Of the party in power, and
fuse to yield the ADMINISTRATION Of their own choice
any farther support. The campaign has been open
ed already and Mr. Clay is in the field in person.
Conventions have been held in several of the States,
and party organization is going in all directions.
Congress has entered into the struggle at the expense
of the great interests of the country, and instead Of
transacng the public business is engaged in the ar
rangemcnt of plans, which it is vanly hoped will
ensure success in the wretched warfare for power
and Office which will be waged in IA, The people
are again, if possible, to be humbugged 1t is hoped
to dupe them into the support of National Bank, a
high tariff and national debt, with the hard cider,
