JOHN TYLER-JUsTICE TO JOHN TYLER.
Like venomous spiders, the Clay Wings have
attempted to bind their victim and then sting
him to death. They have wrapped their mesh
es about his arms and prepared pitfalls Tor hun,
The first are but cobwebs and the last are
yawning before HIM. He is neither impotent nor
blind They have neither broken down the Mad
isonian, secured then places for the next three
wears, nor quite ruined the country. Were the
country ruined outright-were it entirely in their
power-it might crave their mercy, and submit
in humility and modification to the rule Of Mr.
Clay. But it has seen the political assassins in
The present Wing Congress, and is now gather
ing strength to hurl them from existence. Be-
hold Virginia The indignant Republicans OF
The sold Dominion will never stand idly By
and see one of her noble sons, occupying the
chair of Washington, basely sacrificed by the
Federalists at the altar Of the Kentucky Moloch.
But the West-the glorious West, will have
voice in the matter too. The following is
from the Missouri Reporter, one of the ablest
The disgraceful efforts of Mr.. Clay and his follow
ers to head President Tyler have so outraged the ma
lion that every press in the country, those de-
voted entirely to the interests Of the former, has
spoken in the most indignant terms Of the gross neg.
lect of public business--of the honor and credit OF
the Government-by the present Wing majority IN
Congress No Chief Magistrate OF this nation ever
met with so much abuse and so factious an OPPOSE
ton from those who elevated him to the Presidency,
as Mr. Tyler.
In determining upon the correctness of the mea-
slres recommended by him, it is matter OF no con-
sequence whether he was elected by Wing or Demo-
cratic votes or whether he unexpectedly called,
bv an act of Providence, to preside the interests
Of the nation, or not. The honor OF the country
should be held more sacred than devotion to any In
divdual 1t is the duty Of every patriot and OF every
honest man, to support the Chief Magistrate OF the
nation in every proper measure and as far as posi-
HE to relieve the Government of all unnecessary EN-
barrassments. The responsibility OF the present
wretched condition of the public finances, and OF the
neglect of the deences of the country at the present
critical state of foreign relations must rest upon
the Wings They have majority in both Houses OF
Congress. and could have passed any project they
pleased. But they preferred to thwart MI lyier,
rather than serve the country or advance the pubic
business
X We were pleased to see our contemporary OF the
Evening Gazette use the following just terms VI en-
sure towards those who have embarrassed the acton
of Governments by their factious opposition to all
the measures recommended by the President Tor ITS
relief:
ave have teh acutely, and with sensations oil pam
and modification which we want words to express
the diapidated condition of our national nances tne
scenes Of factous violence which disgrace our haiis
Of egsation the neglect and treachery OF the sworn
guardians of our beloved countrys interest and hohor
and the terrible evidences Of Generalization when
meet us at every turn throughout the length ana
breadth of our land If there ever was period IN
the history of our country when the virtue, ntelll-
gence and patriotism of that country should unite IN
spirit of peace and good will-that time IS now
If in our humble sphere we can contribute to such
result we shall feel that are dscharglng the duty
of good citizen, and doing our country an accepta
BILE service"
We were particularly pleased to see our contem
porary denounce ''the neglect and treachery OF the
sworn guardians Of our beloved country's Interest,"
and honor We feared from the tenor OF forme
article of his, in which he advised the u 3 Govern
ment to grant to Great Britain the privilege OF search
ing our vessels on the African coast for limited time
that he was inclined to favor the British side OF tn
question on the right Of search We are willing t(
believe, however that he mistook the true state o
the case and that since he has examined the subJec
more fully, he has become convinced OF his forme
error.
