The Message of President Tyler, which we publish
to-day cannot fail to arrest the attention of every
reader In he frankly discoses the Tue condition OF
the Treasury and the necessities of the Government.
Whatever may be thought of some of the by-gone
acts of Mr.. Tyler it cannot be denied, that he has
boldly Swallowed out the policy which IN his OPT.
nion and that of his cabinet, the exigencies of the
country require.
That the President has had the courage and mag
nanimty to advise the repeal Of measure, which he
had recommended, speaks well for him. Pride OF
opinion and obsnacy in in statesmen, often
the origin of immense evils. Wishing to appear in
fable in wisdom, they cling to preconceved opin-
ions and are often too proud, too corrupt, to ac
knowledge errors OF which they know themselves
guilty.
The situation of the President is one of peculiar
difficulty Elected as the second officer of the Gov
ernment dispensaton of Providence, raised him to
the first. When he assumed the administration, the
country was in state of great embarrassment. The
people, by most triumphant majority had wled a
change of rulers, and of course, system pol
icy. In shaping that policy, he differed from many
of his friends.-His situation trying one. He
had no party in advance to sustain him, right or
wrong as most Presidents have had he had not that
weight and influence statesman that would brirg,
at once a party around him he was sure to be de-
nounced by his party if he differed with its lead
ers and could have reasonable expectation OF be-
ing sustained by the party which he had assisted to
defeat further than necessary to accomplish the
"
his situation. He vetoed the Bank Bill His motives
were at once assailed he denounced as traitor
every opprobrious epithet bestowed upon him
he was burned in etgy, and in the party press, held
up to the people obstacle in the way Of the re-
newed prosperity of the country. Time will show
whether he acted wisely not in the course he tool
| in regard to that particular measure.
1t is said that he has thrown himself into the arms
of the other party. But what is the evidence Of this
He has cert inly taken from few editors the print
ing of the laws and given it to others less bitter il
their denunciations Of him and his cabinet. Must ht
be required to feed the mouths that every day spit
ting at him Do we expect him to be free from thu
common feelings of MANI Unsupported as he is b,
either Of the great parties into which the country
divided, common justice requires that his recommen
datons should be examined by the eye of reason,
calm reflection, and not with view to condemn then
right or wrong; and the good of the country mper
ously demands that the two opposing parties should
for while at least, lay down their arms, and unit
in common effort to rescue the country from tn
great difficulties in which it is involved. The Pres
dent and his cabinet only ask for fair trial by hei
acts To this they entitled, and this they Wi
vet have; for generous people, agltated thong
they may be by the spirit Of party, will IN the en-
meet out Justice to their public servants.
1t is too early to for the next Presidency
The people have had agitatsn and excitement enoug
of late years and the interest of the country require
state of repose Things have been viewed lon
enought through the medium of party passions it
time to look at them in the light of calm reason
Great changes may take place in three years Ou
whole system of national policy may require to
remodeed in that time, and the man of our preser
choice might then be our aversion.
