C~The following portrait Of the
distinguished members Of the Tyler
party, drawn by the editor Of the Rich
mond Wing, is admirable for its gra-
phic deliniation and strict adherence
to truth. The author, after disrobing
them of all their false pretenses to
principle and patriotism, numerically
strips them even oftheir skin, and por-
trays them in the naked deformity Of
their corruption and depravity. The
painting is drawn by a master hand,
and we Recommend it to our readers.
Where are traitors dangerous p
In the furious onset now waging upon
the Wings, who are the loudest, if not
the forwardest, in the fight ---s
They are Webster, Wise, Cushing,
Spencer, Profit, and--we had almost
forgotten his Excellesey- John Ty-
Ter long obsueperous Wings, and if
Whiggisn be culpable every one Of
them damned long ago, beyond remis-
sion.
| What has made these worthless abaL-
don the Wing cause Atleast, what
is THEN own excuse for it!
The most eminent ofthem AYERS that
he holds to every Wing principle, and
that he was decisively opposed to all
the leading steps which separated the
President from the Wings. The 9TH
ers as clearly appear, in abandoning
their party, by no means to have quar-
relied with its principles. They all
hold they say, the same principles as
before.
On what, then, have they differed
from the party at large! Nothing eau
be more evident. It is not about a
bank, or a tariff, or the one term prin-
ciple, for on none Of these have the
Wings changed F.; and they themselves,
on most Of them, are as before, or, If
not, have no right to make their own
change a ground for denouncing those
who have remained the same.
Il is evident, from their own COM
plants or apologies. that their cause Of
secession has been personal only they
have differed from the Wings simply
as to the manner in which Mr.. Tyler
was to be treated when it was found
that he could not be depended on.
Now, Mr.. Webster more than half
avows that his own great dissent from
the Wing course has turned upon this;
that they chose TO break with Mr.. Ty-
Ter when they found be would not pur-
sue a Wing policy and that he, Mr..
Webster, thought they should have
held to him, let him act as i'll as he
might, under the hope Of getting more
advantage out Of that game than the
honest one ofthrowing offs leader who
was a cheat.
Such is clearly the fact as to all the
rest Of tbese Locolocoizing Wings
The amount Of the facts obviously is
that they have preferred John Tyler IN
Office to their party out. The force Of
individual motives has debauched them
from the Wing cause, to that with
which Me-. Webster avows he still diff
fers, against which Mr.. Gushing and
Mr.. Wise frequently voted, aud which
even Mr.. Spencer does not now know
how to defend.
Every fact, then, is decisive, as to
these men, Of political turpitude the
most abandoned. They have, in the
face of a public execration ascending
in the curses and jeers Of both parties
alike, sold themselves, in an Infamous
bargain, to support public man whom
they seorn, in measures which they
know to be subversive Of every thing,
except their own temporary influence
in an Administration, the slightest con-
nsetion with which must, in two years,
become a brand Of public hate, almost
