very letter. and every editor in the country whether
he be Wing or DEMOCRAT, owes it TO his readers To
give the statements of Mr.. Goode place in his col
umns They deserve to he printed in LETTERS Or
GOLD and impressed upon the mind of every hoDest
man in the nation. There is air of sincerity,
truth, patriotism pervading the whole of this excel
lent production, which will commend itself TO every
friend to his suffering country and her dapdaied IN
stilutions; and what is especially commendable In
the writer of it, he does permit the reader TO be-
come acq uainted with his own political predictions!
He has them, but he keeps them to himself nc
frankly tells you the truth but does not permit you 10
know whether it comes from the lips of a Wing or
Loco Foco. He leaves every one to guess Tor MIN
self Now this is excellent; and the representations
of Mr. Goode, this very account, cannot fail 10 De
more extensively useful in opening the eyes OF the
American People to the state of things existing
in the halls of Congress, than they would, were IL
known that they were penned by an artless wing OF
q rabid Loco FocO. Mr.. Goode is a true patllot-he
loves his country better than he does politics. He is
in favor of relieving the necessities of the great mass
Of the people, rather than consult the interests and de-
vices of any aspiring demagogue. In short, he goes
for the greatest good oft greatest number, ana
by doing evinces his wisdom and his philanthropy
But will not detain the reader longer from
production the perusal of which has afforded US up
speakable satisfaction. We say again, that every
sentence in il bears the impress Of truth WE KNOW IT.
We speak as a member of the party which brought
General Harrison into power; and until that part OF
the Constitution which provides for the election OF
President and Vice President is alteredso as to ex
tend the term of these officers to sic eight gears
shall, for half century to come, have to put up
with the infamous state Of things of which MIR.
Goode complains. We know that President Harr-
son hardly warm in his chair, before comblna-
tions entered into by the friends of two great
statesmen for the succession. Then, these men were
apparently on terms of intimacy and friendship
now, they hate each other as cordially as the devil
hates holy water. The unexpected death OF the good
old General infused vigor into the respective
friends Of the to whom we allude-one OF whom
appears to have "fallen into the and yellow Leaf
while the other is making pretty considerable noise
in the world, by the clam aid Of his friends
There is point to which we wish Mr.. Goode
had alluded and that is the settled determination on
the part of the friends Of Mr. Clay, in both Houses
of Congress, to "head plain Tyler" on every oc-
cason when they think they do it successfully.
They do not hesitate to doubt the sincerity OF the Pre-
sIden but they have the recklessness the uncharlta-
beness, to impugn his motives whenever he offers any
great measure to their consideration, which does not
happen to meet their particular views OF the everlast
ing fitness of thngs"-of politics especially Now,
in humble opinion, this is not showing the Presl-
dent of the Nation fair play. We are among those
who believe Mr.. Tyler to be honest, and friendly to
the Constitution. We believe that, in all his leading
measures, he intends to do what he considers about
right for the interests of the great OF the people
He is coordinate branch of the Government, hay
ing constitutional prerogave, like the Senate or
the Hou of Representatives and he has his pecu-
liar constitutional notions the same as they have and
| more than that, he will exercise them in spirit oil
independence and fearlessness, maugre the threats
and denuncations of the cabal who dictate to theiI
slaves at the other end of the Avenue. Hardly ar
hour passes but the heads of the leaders of this caba
are seen together, either in the Senate or House OF
Representatives plotting mlsch eff against the people
and the President-not of their choice, to be sure,
but by the g act of God' We should say Mr..
Evans in the Senate and Mr.. Fillmore in the House,
the DrinCiDa ntriGuerS managers the nOll-
teal drama now being performed at the Capitol
they the modest gentlemen who pull the wires and
make the puppets dance to the infinite amusement of
the lookers-on in the gallery. But we have spun out
our yarn to greater length than we intended when
we commenced writing. We shall resume the sub
ject again soon mean viii let every reader peruse
attenvely the following leter-and, if he have time,
commit it to memory one that contains more truth
and good common sense than usually found in so
short compass. X Y, Il.
