THE EVENING POST.

One word to the EveD's Is Post We stand
now where we have ever sAS4 on the old JEFF
fersonian platform IL this stan tard of ortho-
dow does not suit the Post we cannot help IT
We know j, suits the Democracy. As TO Mr.
Tyler's not having the privilege of appointing
his own Cabinet, we beg leave to say to the
Evening Post that maugre It's objections, or OBJ
iections from any other source, we rather
suspect that Captain Tyler will have his own
way. And we doubt not that the Democracy
of the country will be satisfied with his arrange
ments. The man who has been true to the
Democratic line since the extra session of Con
gress, and fought Federalism almost single
handed, until, like Hercules of old, he has al
most slain the hydra monster, to say nothing OF
certain iDalienable immunities in This respect,
we do no, doubt has, and will continue TO have
the esteem and affection of The Democratic par
" Of the country. Who has struck heavier
blows on the body Of Federalism Who killed
the Bank2 Who killed Distribution? Who
killed the mongrel Tariff and Distribution bill
Who killed the single district Election bill
He has retained twenty thousand Demo
Gratis in office. and is daily appointing other
Democrats to Office in the places OF abu-
sive t'ederalists. What would have been
the condition Of the country but for Mr.. 1y-
Ter? And now, forsooth he cannot appoint
man who has stood by him manfully IN his war
on Federalism; who is now acting with
the Democratic party OF the country for
the good of the country personal and
political friend, and man of integrity
and eminent talents, Tor The Office in question,
without having lesson read TO him by the Eve
ming POST Is it just TO condemn the President
in adpance2
Post is gentleman, and man of political con-
sideration. He is man whom we admire, be-
cause his fame as poet is identified with the
very history of the country, ard we confess we
should be very sorry to believe thai his generos-
ity would be unwilling TO acknowledge the error
into which he has here fallen.
If Mr. Cushing's principles not sufficient
" democratic, We know not where 10 find
Democrat. He entered Congress Democratic
Republican, and remains one yet. At all
events, his many speeches in defence OF the
President, certainly breathe the same sentimeats
expressed in all the Democratic journals in the
country. We ask the Post to look at the De-
mocralic journals Of Mr., Cashing's own State,
and see what is said OF him. And would the
Post erciade, such man as Caleb Gushing
from the Republican party? OF such men
VICTORIES are made 3!
Neither the President nor Mr.. Gushing need
90 into any leaders camp" to profess Repub-
lcau principles. True Republican principles
were transmitted to us by our Revolutionary
fathers. Every Americans ay, and foreigner,
too, who takes up his residence in our land, is
equally entitled TO che glorious inheritance!
We harbpr no ill-will for the Post. We
would gladly cooperate with it in struggling
for the permanent ascendancy of Republican
PRINCIPLES. We invite it to throw out of view
all 'men" until the battle for principles" is
fought and won. AT this time 90 men" are but
shadows, and if we cling 10 them instead of
measures" the substance may be lost. When
the time comes, we will support any man that
the People may prefer.
