deem the pledges they had given. In confrma-
ton of this, we have the celebrated Bots let
ter, the no less celebrated Manifesto of the
Wing members of Congress, and last, but not
least, the vituperatlons of Henry Clay, and the
low and vulgar abuse of every press that had
been, or hoped to be- the stipendiary of Bank
OF the United States, or the recipient OF Mr..
Clay's Executive bounlies ''Head Captain
Tyler or die p was, and is, the ultra Wing mot
TO- No matter what evils may be inflicted upon
the country no matter what constitutional
rights may be subverted, Captain Tyler must
be headed. Such are the motives, and they re-
qure no comment to be properly appreciated by
an intelligent community.
On Inquiry into the propriety with which the
Veto power has been exercised by the Pfesi'
dent, necessari involves a reference 10 the cir
cumstances under which the ma ority in Con
gress were elected, and the avowed principles
upon which the Executive came into power
The circumstances briefly these: Many
years Of defeat had taug hit the leaders OF the
opposition TO General Jacksons and Mr.. Van
Burens admin STATIONS that the establishment
of Bank of the United States was so obnox-
ous to a majority of the Union, that no hope
could be entertained of obtaining majority 10
Congres S. if the election hinged on that issue /;
or of securing majority of the votes in favor
OF their nominee for the Presidency, if he was
closely identified with that measure. 1t was
necessary, therefore, to nominate men, Gin OPP
h.. canbi Oft \ xUhpse
opinions were known to be adverse to il.
Hence it was, that Mr.. Clay, the idol of the
Bank Wings, was shed aside, and General
Harrison nominated for the Presidency, and
Mr.. Tyler for the Vice Presidency. After the
nomination, general disclaimer of any inten-
ton to reestabllSh Bank of the United States
was promulgated on The part OF those seeking
power and, in reply 10 charges, frequently allie
ged by the adverse party of such intention
yet existing, though sought to be conceded,
they constantly referred to the well known OPT
Mons formerly expressed by their candidates as
am. lie refutation of these charges. Espec al
stress was laid upon the speeches and votes Of
Mr. Tyler in 1919 aud 1888 aud 4 short
time previous to the election, he himself de-
clared, in letter, that the opinions he then en-
tertaned and expressed remained unchanged.
| These references and Psserllons were eftectual.
General Harrison and Mr.. Tyler were elected
| by large majority; and the same favorable
current, which bore them into power, brought
also into Congress majority supposed to be OF
the same opinions in regard TO public measures
For, up to this time, there appeared to be no di
vision of opinion, in the Wing ranks between
the candidates for Congress, and those for the
| Executive offices. The utmost harmony pre-
vailed, or appeared 10 prevail, among them. In
every section of the country the exertions of the
! Wing candidates for Congress were divided IN
efforts to obtain their own election and "Tippe
canoe and Tyler too" Mr.. Tyler's opinions in
relation to Bank of the United States, were
not only known to them at that time, but ap-
proved by them. The very same opinions he
| then expressed, and they approved, he is now
condemned and prosecuted for entertaining.
The causes which produced this strange in
consistency of conduct, shall be analysed and
laid bare in another communication.
