Mn. TrLEn.-lt must be gratifying to the senu.
inc friends Of Mr.. lyle those who supported him
from a conviction Of his purity of purpose-to wit
the fidelity with which he acts to his country,
scorning popularity won, retained, at sacrifice
Of principles which circumstances cannot change.
When he entered upon the duties of his present
station, gratitude to tie wing party for the cordial
support it had given him, doubt filled his bosom,
while the courtesy with which he had been treated
by the Democracy during the contest, kept his bo-
consequently he was as well prepared to act with an
eye single to the interests Of bis country as any 9TH
or President since the days of Washington His
experience in public lie, his participation in the af-
fairs Of the nation, had ripcned his mind, so nc
ready to act understandingly upon all questions
likely to be presented to him for Executive action
Notwithstanding the favorable situation Of parties
at the time Of entering upon the discharge of his
duties, he commenced under embarassmcuts not 10
be overcome i'll day. Prescription had swept over
the land with such spirit Of perseverance that the
capitol was thronged with hungry cxpectants, each
trying to out vie the others in attery of Mr.. Tyler,
and recount more acts of devotion to the party
whose success carried him into Office 10 stand
unmovcd in such situation could be expected by
none. So general had been the removal Of public
officers protesting Democratic principles, that but
few Democrats had thought it worth while TO ask
an appointment, consequently his appointments,
for sometime, were pleasing to the wings.
Whatever he may have found displeasng, in the
acts Of his predecessor suffered to continue out
of respect to his honesty and judgment. For awhile
he glided smoothly along, honorcd by his whig
friends. But day for action upon measures in
volving vital principles came round Forgetting his
debt Of gratitude to the wing party for its services
in his behalf, his determined action was on the side
OF his country so, acting consistently with his for.
mer life, and sense Of duty, he thwared TIC wings
in their attempt 10 establish national bank. Dis
may spread through their ranks. Bitter curses
were heapcd upon his head, in private, and hope
Of ef'ccting change in his mind smothercd them
so friendly look was given him. All efforts te
sway him failing, resort was had to stratagcm, bu
that he could see through. He stood unmovcd.-
The Wings despairing Of success by stratagen be
came his open enemies and sought, by every means
In their power, to injure his reputation as States
man. In all these trials Mr.. Tyler has remained tn,
same, save that he has learned his friends, and re-
solved to profit by his knowledge, in appointing
those to office who will throw no obstacles !, n.
way Of carrying out the principles by which he !,
governed
We claim not to be friend of Mr.. TYLER. W.
have seen much in his course 10 condemn. and ma
ny things we could approve, but when treated s.
badly BY his friends, all ought 10 unite in awan,n
'aa' circuit que iof his good acts. He in our opinion
makes an excellent Wing President, but would max
ase'pbad one on the other side.
