PRESIDENT TYLER.

PRESIDENT TYLER.
The position of President TYLER is every day Sc
curing new admirers, and himself the friendship of
the honest and virtuous of all parties. His great
moral courage and his sterling integrity are being
appreciated by the mass ; and the slang .whang
accusations of political demagogues pass for what
they really worth. 1t must be extremely graft
flying to Mr. Tyler to witness these evidences of
kindly feeling on the part of the people and it must
be equally matter of grievous perplexity to those
who wantonly assailed him for doing what right.
The President has assumed nothing but what he has
been fully sustained in, both by the Constitution and
the people and with such shields to his fearless per-
fermance of official duty, he has ample grounds to
pursue "the tenor of his way" regardless
of federal calumny and federal malice. There
are few who have firmly adhered
to the support Of pure Republican principles than
Mr.. Tyler; and there few distinguished in
dviduals with more spotess moral reputation. AS
President he has shown himself the President of the
Union, as the Chief Magistrate of the American peo-
pie and not the North, the South, the East or
the West To the people he was indebted for his ele-
walton, and TO the people will his patriotism
and integrity manifest ample gratitude by faith
full and fearless discharge of his official duties
What cares such an individual for the ISLANDERS OF
miscreant dcmagogues' What cares such an indiv-
dual for the vile abuse of the corrupt and designing
With the affections and confidence of the people, and
full knowledge Of his acting conscentiousy he car
treat such vindictve outpourlngs with sovereign con-
tempt, and feel gratiied in the approving sentiments
of those who co stitute the main pillar Of support tc
the free institutions Of our country. We then say
that either the President Of this Re
public, Mr.. Tyler occupies a position honorable tc
himself and envable only to his enemies and we
apprehend that before the close of his Administra.
ton, popular opinion will render his revers equally
despicable the calumniators of Jefferson anu
Jackson In no instance has he failed to conform
with the wishes Of the great body of the people and
their approval Is all he sohcits as the of his
honorable ambition. Let his enemies seek the same
reward of merit, and they will find better employ
nent than in abusing whom they can neither
brighten nor corrupt

TUE COMMEMORATIVE TAI

Never was more truth contained in less space,
than will be found in the following paragraphs
copied from the OLD SCHOOL REPUBLICAN:
THE CURRENCY-THE TARIFF.
No two subjects are intimately connected
with the prosperity OF the country than the currency
and tariti--yet they are of all others selected by
the politicians to be used for party purposes. For
fifteen years the country has been conyulsed by the
two great parties, each assuming extreme and oppo-
site grounds. The policy of the Government chang
ing every few years, as one or the other may have
been in power the people at last became so well III
formed by sad experience that their difficulties MAIN
ly resulted from ultra and radical notions, the potl
clans were forced in order to save themselves TO
sumo a middle ground.
The Wings we're, in 1910, put into power by the
people because Of the position assumed by them,
position avoiding the extremes of the Old National
Republican party, on the one hand and the hard mo-
ney Sub-lIeasury of the Democratic party, on The
other The Wing have in power proved TO be
very different party from Wings out OF power The
leaders once forgot their moderation assumed while
seeking the votes OF the people, and abored to throw
the country back upon the ground the people had so
often repudated. The President, faithful 10 his
principles and the county, int posed The power
given him by the Constitution, to save the people
from the evils of ultra Wing policy.
The Democrats were defeated in 1910 because OF
the radical grounds they occupied, and ca led up
on by policy and patriotism TO avoid the rock upon
which they ioundered, and at once base themselves
upon moderate policy in reference TO the currency
and the tariff Do this, and no efforts of their oppo-
nents will be able 10 drive them from their strong
hold in the confidence and affections of The people.
Convertible raper currency tie people will have DR.
rect taxes they will not submit 10. We have much
to say upon these two i'm orlant subjects.
