THAT GONE MAN POWER"

trainers OF The Constitution Tor putunS such power III
it. All this comes with good grace from man who
helped to elect Mr.. Tyler-whO ever and anon is wag-
ging his tail (Spanel lko and cOuring the favors of
the Democracy-And who is brm full Ofveneation for
the fathers of the revolution, whenever self'inerest
prompts him.
But why backguard and abuse Mr.. Tyler2 lshe not
your own President Is he not whis' Did he not
receive your support! Did you not 1.-THE people oi
Tuscnrawas of the ''Honored TYerl' Did you moi
appeal to them in prose and poery, by the virtue ol a
cider barrel -on the top ofa log cabn-and under the
shade ola coon skin, to 60 '1yLer therefore, ,oittOM
aUhp or ,oherorel Did you not help to board two mig
gers in 40, for the purpose of learning Tip and Ty
songs? did you otcall meetings in the Court House,
for no other purpose than TO sing those songs7 and did
you not ride the Streets hurrans and shouting the Pra
ses of f"TYer Too3' disturbing the peace and public
morals, by your drunken revelry1 Ah, but you say,
Ihe has not carried out measures What were your
measures prayl Did you declare for National Bank,
or Distribution at that timer No. they were not lisp
cd, and yet these are the only things Tyler veoed,-
We can tell you the measures you AdoOcated' when
before the people. You promised an economical Ad"
minisration Of 13 millions year. Instead oiha it's
80 millions you promised to 'proscribe prescription.
Instead Of that, you removed every Democrat within
reach even to the old sold ers the revolution. You
promised "Good Times High wages High prices,
and Plenty of work." How these promises have been
fulfilled, your tyler Too, can answer. In his letter
to Mr.. Graham, Of June 1, he saws we have IAN En-
.banassed Treasury, Broken up and disordered cur
rency the Mechanical arts prostrated and "lndus-
try suffering general paralysis" And yet because
your own President tells you Ofyour broken promises
-of your violated pledges-and all the vile arts by
which you fooled the people-and because he vetoed
two measures which you dared not bring before the
people-you turn in and blackguard him. and heap up
on him all the abuse which has been spent upon the
Democracy for the last 12 years, by your sanderous
tongues. Now we are no advocates of John Tyler,
but when we see such knaves lin Patrick Villify-
ing him for no other purpose than to shin the indigna-
,ion of an outraged people, off their shoulders-where
itiusy belongs-on to an innocent man, then we ieo
compelled by sense ofduly to defend him from their
base Vaccinations.
But the abuse ofTyler is not enough for these hyp-
ocrtes; the democratic party comes in for share for
sanctioning the Vetoes. Why is thsl 1t is to blind
tho eyes ofthose who were humbugged with promises
of every hue IN l840-to lead them astray-to make
them forget the forfeited pledges and promises That
ALL but it's lmsy shf 4 will not take with the thou
sands Of deIuded men who are breaking loose from the
foul leaders who betrayed them. The Democracy
sanction Mr.. Tyler's vetoes because they put down
measures at war with Democratic principles s-mea-
sures which always have received opposition from Dem
ocrats measures to which the people are hostle-and
measures which Federalism herself skulked from and
dsowned when before the people. Dare you deny
thsl John Tyler deserves the praise every honest
man for his fmness in thwaring the Federal leaders
who when out Of power had set of principles with
which to cheat The many and when in power, another
set to oppress them.
Have these Federalis,s real antipathy 10 the
Veto powerl How was it with the Bankrupt law'
When the repeal ofhat law had passed one House, and
fears were entertained that the Senate would also re-
peal the whole federal press set to praying and lm>
ploring John Tyler to exercise the Veto power. Yes
It was all right hen to use the veto, or Kinsly pow
er,"and that too on a measure got up by Federalism,
and threatened to be repealed by whsgery. Suppose
some one kills Mr.. Tyler and Mr.. Mapgum takes his
pac e; then suppose the 2sth Congress tbeng Demos
cratc1 re>passes the Sub Treasury Law, and Mangum
Veioes it. Would not the Federal presses shout the
'gad tdings of great i,y," over the na.ionf Would
the Veto be kingy power then, in the eyes oil Fed
eralism, too horrible to touChl
Not satisfied with abusing their President and the
Democracy they attack the Framers of the ConstlIu-
ton for incorporating the veto powerln This shows
to what extent Federal Haired goes iffoed IN its un
haowed designs Even that instrument which is pros
nounced be the greatest piere of hrman wisdom the
world ever saw, is spared the shafts of malignant
Federalism. Bai in all their rantng against the one
man power we never the federal editors telling
their readers that Washington used it, that Madison
sed it, that Monroe used il, and that even their great
81 Harrison believed it necessary in government like
ours. No. Their plan is TO keep the many ignorant
and promote Preud by appealing to the sordd pas
eions of human nature.
There are two questions we wish 10 put to the Fedora
editor here, who seems to have the Veto darrh baC
as his brothers, just now, Did you ever exercise The
'one man power in the jury room, 10 whip men bach
into the traces who were disgnsted with your reach
cry and Hypocrisy Dare you, in obedience to Clay
mandate to strike the Veto power from the Constitution
90 before the people thai question. "ArbItrary"
"KngIy," as yon spythat power i', Dare You AdUO
