THE BITTERNESS OF HOSTILITY rO-
WARDS THE EXECUTIVE.

WARDS THE EXECUTIVE.
10 all the wars waged by England against the power
OF the mighty Corscan la the hercesi struggles |
that enlisted the enmliies of contending factions
for ascentancy this any other country when the
wave, of party intolerance ian mountains of wrath
there has never been exhibited more vndlctveness OF
feeling bitterness of resentment than have been
eyinced 10y the principal journals OF the Wings against
the present President of the United States l ne
editors and conductors of those journals appeared to
have fed on gall, and quenched their thirst WIN

with which 20 pour out torrents OF uhhailoWeu
indignation against TIE Chief Magistrate oil the'f !
choice
1t is recorded Of Hamcar the leader of the Car
thagrnians after his discontinue in OF the Pune
wars with the Roman Republic, that he compelled his
son Hannibal TO take a solemn oath upon the altar,
that he would cherish eternal enmity against, anu
never be at peace with Rome. TINS oath oil ven
geaoce and implacabimy reigiously observed by
the conqueror of Italy, and the almost. capurer OF
Rome self until finding grave for his laurels IN the
luxurious ease and Incidence of Capua, he was not
only beaten and compelled flee before he people he
bad sworn 10 hate, but forced to sue for p ace
and his own proud Carthage was ultimately doom
ed 10 fall before the elrbu've infections OF his hated
foe.
From the manifestations made by the leaders and
editors OF the Wings II is fair infer that they, Ike
The asseveating Carthagenian have sworn upon their
altar of Clay oath OF everlasting hate to President
Tyler and In obedience to the demon OF vindict've
within them, have determined never TO he at
peace with him during the period OF his public life
feeling so repugnant to every principle OF justice
IA course of conduct be gerent to every attribute
OF equity and beney oence-has never been exhibited
before, at least in day, and we doubt whether IT'S
parallel can be found on any page OF history, since
civilization has set her foot upon the soil OF humanity
The enmty and hatred OF his revers To the Pres dent
unmarked as It is by reason-unregulated by the least
liberation of temper uncontrolled BY any dscrmlna-
ton o Acknowledgements TO be designed To deter ine
Chief Magistr from duty, and to drive him from
the post OF power, before the expiration of his term
OF office. That they will be able succeed IN Tins
attempt at his freed and premature ejectmen, they
have little reason of we-grounded no e--and the
President far from being inundated, by Their
distempeTed efforts, will only plant himself more
firmly IN his seat, and bid the maddenng elements
defiance
But let for moment inquire W hat evil il is that the
President done, for which he Is to be thus hunted
from the ear'h and consigned 10 an uniimely death
of character and office The answer is his he has
been led by his prevailing sense of PROPHECY to dcny
the requests OF some OF bis Wing freuds--to thwaTt
the purposes of o'hersto refuse his assent 10 po-
ton OF heir avorte measures and to cherish predI-
lection for hose Republican principles and practices
IN whch he was born and bred. Ii must be remom
bered that Mr.. yler educated III the strict ness
OF the old Republican school of Jrferson-was taught
to venerae the doctrines of and value the rights of
sovereign of the States. He was instructed in the
school vi constitutional law aud the lessons he there
learned he has daIrd 10 make the guides and govern
OF his conduct through life. And when any ac's
even OF his own friends, were presented for his ac-
ceptnce, that varied ag ,lnst the punc pies he had
Cherished, and the OF duty he had cultivated
with such diligence and care he was compelled, how
ever unpleasant might be The task, to disagree with
and unieract The purposes of those friends and
therrby TO derat The acts which they had set their
aft ctons, and To which they had harnessed their des
Tiny The reluct with which this done, and
The mild manner with which The Executive ree ton
OF any measures commu nIcated TO It's friends and
worshppers, argued in him feeling of hostility, bu,
her disposition to conci late far conscience
and duly would permit. This urbanity of conduct
and manner towards ii BODY of men who re-
solved to rule all, and to bend every power and
coordinate attribute of office their will at every
hazard, at once and hes,atngly denounced as
traorous, and the walls of wrath, deeply charged
with death to mortal veal those in the Apocalypse,
were at once emptied upon the Presidential head TO
sink him 10 depth of degradation deep that no
power earth could extrlcate him. The poison OF
th Sc asp-lke tongues, and the dripping venom OF
their pens were, however, impo'ent for ILL.,
They received by the President with the
calmness that characterzes conscious rectitude
and like the angel that presdes over the waters he
continued undisturbed and serene. We do not in
tend, however, to assert that the President has done
wrong-that he has never erred in any portion Of
his public life. Far from tive believe he has err
ed through excessive socitude to please his former
friends but has since pursued more Independent
course and is Fastening, far possible to correct
the errors of his former judgment This is worthy
the character and conduct of an honest man But
of what avail, ask, is all this deadly enmity of
the Wings Are their stepped in follys
lethe as to mague for moment they shake the
Presidential purpose, and force Mr. Tyler to abdicae
his office Vain hope Despite their efforts, he will
still be President Of The nation not of their particular
pary-and will continue to administer the affairs of
the Government in such manner as to enure, III his
opinion, to the best interests and permanent welfare
of the nation. In all matters pertaining to rela-
tons with foreign powers, his worst enemies com
PEELED to init he has always shown himself true
American, and ably and faithfully asserted the rights
and indicated the honor of his country For this
he will be esteemed Aud it is not to be supposed
that because he has defeated by his institutional
yetos, few unwse laws, and negatived few mea-
sures of supposed mischevous tendency, that the
American people will, as body, prescribe him.
They are too just for that. And notwithstanding the
vexatious revilings, the malignant abuse, and the
mad spirit of imbttered hostility with which he is
pursued, he will still continue onward in the
tenor OF his way regardless alike of the wrath of
vindlctve enemies, and of the fulsome aduation of
falsely pretending friends
