any'view which we could have present

cessary to render The public opinion
perfectly sound in regard to Mr. Tyler,
is information Of the real character of
his acts.
The sway OF Mr.. Tyler here in Ohio,
is more to be deprecated than any thing
ever before fastened upon US. Little
did the founders Of our State think,
when they were responding to the loud
and hearty amen 10 the denunciatons
contained in The Declaration of 1875,
against a British King, "for sending
hlther swarms of officers among US to
eat out the substance" Of the American
people ,-that IN little more than ha
century, one Of our own cItiZensGlIng
the Office Of President, would commit,
II possible, greater outrage 90 the
feelings Of freemeo. Blu; such is Inc
fact. So far as The Executive govern
ment OF the Union prevails in this Stale,
1t is most heartess cespotism; more
resembling that Of the Turk governing
through the insssumenlaIily Of a body
of Janizares, than a government Of
public opinion. Strange as it may pp
pear 10 someata a dislancs, two brothers
IN law Of John Tyler, WELD the whole
power Of tho federal government in
Ohio. One is al the head of the Post
Oflcs in this city, surrounded by an
official coterre Of imported relations and
iamIy friends Of the President and HIM
self and the otheri is the editor Of
newspaper, recently set up by the lami
" for the express purpose Of writing
down Whig principles. We speak ad
vsedly when we say, that this paper
was established to make war upon
Whlg principles aud prominent Wing
| EStateamen, at time when many OF
those men were apparently in Mr.. Ty
ler's confidence, aud before there was
any breach between him aud them -
We-know that negotiations at that ear.

to perform this fralricdal work and That

IS now the situation Of affairs 10 This
State, that these two men, who, if pub
lie opinion was left to operate unarded
by the Fictitious influence Of Executive
uncDlon, would be Of no more account
than brace Of lectures on Animal Mag

over the interests, predictions and

No man is daring enough to aspire

Asa specimen Of their insoIent con
duct, we will mention case of recent
occurrence. A few weeks since, DR.
MoaIer, one OF the oslensibIe editors of
Mr. Tylor's paper here, made a rnpid
tour TO the Northeastern part of The
State, 'or the proIessed purpose of pro,

business assigned 10 the public, but we
have reason 10 know or believe, that a
rigid surveillance of the Post Offices,
was the principal object oil the'visilation.
That he was faithful to his trust, is no,
to be questioned. al the incidents con.
nocted with this famous expedition can

many Post Masters were threatened
with The loss OF their places, if they did
not exert themselves to further the OBJ

never be known. Bat neGacl has trans.

CandesDiUe objects Of this remarkable
