| The Wings dsown and the Democratic party
know it-Tyler, his Cabinet, and his entire Corporas
guard Than him and them they do not regard
themselves as having any enemies more insid-
Gus and more malcious-not any towards whom
| they themselves feel more unextingushable enmi-
| ty.-E,dependem Whig
Such is the language of paper established at
Washington by fragment of the Wing party for the
patriotic and honorable purpose of embarrassing the
government, abusing Wing President and crush
ing TO the dust Wing Administration The editor
of this Independent Wing is but little acquainted with
the political feeling in the country he imagines that
the Whigs-that is, the great body of citizens, who
animated by the nobest motives advocated the cleo
ton of Harrison and Tyler-disown Tyler and his
Cabinet and feel towards them an unextinguishabc
ennity. On the contrary large portion of the Wing
party in different parts of the country and more
peciay in the northern and eastern States are dis
posed to regard the present administration with ia
vorable eve and to repose full confidence in the ability
and prudence of John Tyler, and his Cabinet galaxy
of talent which he has collected around him. Even
many of those who were once disposed to dsapproyc of
his course in presenting nsuperable obstacles to the
establishment of National Bank, now acknowledge
that his conduct dictated by principle and by
wisdom-for it is clear that the establishment of
National Bank at the extra session would have been
a measure of character in the highest degree dis
asrous to the country. John Tyler is every day
gaining ground in the estimation Of the thinking part
of his country men--and the more his public acts
and public writings are scrutnlzed, the more CON
yinced are his countrymen that he is worthy OF the
reputation which he has long enjoyed, and the high
Office which he now holds.
If by the Wing party, the editor of the lndepen-
dent Wing means certain of the warm admirers of
Henry Clay, who wink at his errors, while the,
worship his talents, and extol his public services
who go with him, heart and hand in his endeavors
to establish old-fashioned National Bank-and
who are resolved to leave no means untred to elc-
vae him to the Presidential Char--if these men are
to be regarded as The Wing party, we have no more
to say in relation to the subject, but acknowledge
that the remarks OF our contemporary are lust and
that Mr. Tyler and his Cabinet are indeed regarded
by them as lnsldlous and malicious enemies towards
whom they cherish most uneIfin guishdbie entnlty
lndcod there requires no further proof this than the
bitter abusive tone used by the editors of the Indepcn
dent Wing the Louisville Journal and papers OF "A
similar stamp, In relation TO the administration. Ian
guage is hardly coplous enough 10 give uerancc To-
the Indignation and enmity which ranklcs within their
bosoms, and which SEEM if possible to increase a.
the administration OF John Tyler gains favor among
the people But if the term Whig party is properly
applied to those only who hate John Tyler and his Ca
bnet the party has become shockingy luced since
the election of Harrison and Tyler in the fall of 1910
But although discussion about names may be un-
profitable it appears US that the Whig parry should
support a Wing President and Wing Cabinet
