A part OF the Maryland delegation 10 the Na,ionsl
Convention, which nominated Harrison and Tyler at
Harrisburg, have published address To their con
stituents purportiDg To be explanation apology
for voting for MIR. Tyler. But that is a pretext
for assault that gentleman. They could have
found ample justification of their vote IN the
nomination Of Mr.. Tyler by the Wing Convention of
Maryland In 1885. Their real object is evidently 10
draw line of separation between the President aud
the Wings, and TO thwart any attempts in the bosom
OF their own party, again 10 jostle Mr.. Clay of the
held, by means OF convention, TO make room for
General Scott or any other available candidate
They find II difficult TO account for the fact that
with all their fine promises of reform, they have been
at least In part, Instrumental " in bringing upon the
country the ruin and distress which pervade it,
and that with an executive OF their nomination
and their choice with majority IN both branche,
of Congress and every department of political pow
surrendered into their hands, the Wings should
still be a defeated and discounted party and they
labor through several columns of gross mlsrepresen
tation and foul abuse TO fasen the blame Oh Pres-
dent Tyler-but without effect.
They claim that the measures and principles which
the Wings deem cessary 10 ma onal prosperity,
| 1, national bank; 2 tariff for protection g. the
distribution of the proceeds of the public lands T.
the limitation of the presidential term and s. pu-
rication of the practice of the executive in appoint
| mens to office.
They admit, that the history and political opinions
| of JOHN TYLER were not unknown 10 the Harrisburg
Convention, by which he was nominated for the Vice
| Presidency. How, indeed, could they be To
the language of the Maryland delegates, he had
been honored by h distinguished State with the
Office of her Governor, and was subsequently elected
by the Wings of Virginia represented in her leg-
ature to the Senate of the United States; and had
| been nominated by Maryland wing convention for
the office of Vice President in all of which stations
he had distinguished himself by his ability and the
| frank expression of his sentiments all the ques-
tons of public interest, that came up for considera-
| ton.
These gentlemen further admit that when his name
was proposed in the Harrisburg Convention, they
" asked no question-they required no explanations
they demanded no pledges" They do not even
appear to know who it that first suggested Nh.
| TYLER's name Wing candidate, but after east
ing about for To fix the blame on, charlta-
bly, come the conclusion, that I" it of those
malignant pranks Of the Evil One, for which hui
man being can, before human tribunal, be held re-
sponsiblen We were not before aware, that there
was a representation in the Harrisburg Convention,
| from that gloomy region, where Hope never comes,
that comes to all - but perhaps, the gentleman re-
ferred to, only lobby member sent there by his
satanic majesty to " bore" some of the regular dele
gates.
| They then make labored effort to prove, from
the speech of Gov Barbour, on taking his seat as
President of the Convention from reported
saton of Mr. Tyler with the late Gov. Owen Of
North Carolina, which was not reported until after
the decease of that gentleman, and has since been
positively contradlcted ana from detached extracts
from his eectioneering addresses, that Mr. Tyler, N
opposition to the political principles advocated by
him throughout his whole political life, though IN
pledged was bound to carry out those measures and
| principles which the Maryland delegates now say
are the measures and principles of the Wing party
although it is well known fact, that In Virginia,
where Mr. Tyler resided and throughout the whole
South, such never were, and are not now, the mea-
sures and principles advocated by the Wings but
that the contrary, Mr.. Tyler was there sustained
as Republican of the old Virginia School, discl-
pie Of jefferson, and his speeches and votes in the
Senate adduced in support of the declaration.
1t is true that Mr. Tyler resisted the efforts OF his
Wing friends to make indscrimnate and tho
rough removal Of democrats from office for the pur-
pose of making room for electioneering parsans Of
Mr. Clay and this is probably the true cause, more
| tian any difference about measures, OF the bitter
hostility by which he has been pursued. He might
have vetoed the bank bills and the distribution bill
and the exchequer and they would not have quarrel
ed with him, had he only been content to TO autho
rise Mr. Grange and others to sweep the Democrats
out of office. 1t is not true, however, asserted IN
the address, that " none but Wings were removed,
and only Loco-focos appointed to FIJI their places
This assertion has better foundation than the ina
ginaton of its author. The whole paper is a weak
Aimsy production.
