THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CALUMNIAToRs


THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CAlUMNIAToRs.
In INV last gave various extracts from a pamphlet
nut forth by prominent and leading Wings, TO prove
that if there has been any tIeachery, It has been
the part Of the Clay Federal Wings In order TO
elect their candidates, they everywhere proclaimed
that both General Harrison and MIR. Tyler Re-
pubcans of the Jetfersonan school, and Of course
strict constructions Supposed, upon constitutional
grounds To bank and protective tariff. We chal-
lenge any Wing to produce the proof that Mr. Tyler,
by any vote, speech or message, ever admitted the
right Of Congress to charter National Bank. Both
at Harrisburg and elsewhere the Wings refused TO
put forth the articles Of their political creed Whene-
YER they were pressed do 80, they would cru out
Sub Treasury, Standing Army, Ertraraganes Florida
te@, Hard Times !! They asked only TO be put into
power, and gold and silver would become plenty
as black berries, the expenditures Of the Govern
ment reduced to fifteen millions and commerce, agr
culture and manufactures would bud, blossom, and
bring forth abundant crop. No public debt
would be suffered to exist. They succeeded And
how did they fulfil their pledges and promises
emnly made And now, because the President re-
fuses TO sanction the treachery Of the Federal Wings
and TO contradict all that they said during the late
canvass he is assaed, and held up worthy of the
severest punishment known to our laws These
worthy gentlemen must imagine that the great body
of the American people are the greatest dos in the
universe. Do they expect to again deceive the peo-
pe'
We ask for present relief and not for what they
will do in lS45-we ask for bread and they give US
stone--for fish, and they give serpent. In
stead Of economy, and reduction Of the public ex
penditures, we have extravaganza, and an increase
of expenditures Iublic debt Of twenty-five mil
lions and disposition to double 1.-THE Compromise
act virtually destroyed, and another Bill Of Abom-
nations fastened upon us-sugar coffee and tea,
cessaries of life taxed in order to enable the Wings
in their madened zeal for party, 10 give away the
proceeds OF the lands Having decided majority
in both Houses of Congress- they shape all their laws
to advance the interest of my Lord Of ashland They
would tie the President down to the question upon
every subject-bu a Wing measure? Every other
consideration is to be put aside but this To this
rule all others must bend. For daring to exercise
the constitutional right and duty Of rejecting laws
| which the President deems to be unconstitutional or
unwise and inexpedien, he is be branded with the
name Of g Traitor ~ And by whom BY such men
as Johnny g. and Slade, and Everett, and Fillmore ;
aided by conceited and pulled up bastard son of the
Old Dominion. Ii is wonder to me how the Clay
wings look any honest politician in the face with
| out being crimsoned with shame.
Let them Compare hat they said in 1910 with
what they say, and they will be compelled to adj
nit that they have proved eacherous to their oroms
| es. We ask Mr.. N. E. Sutton, Muscoe Garnet, ESQ
and Others if they believed what they asserted in the
pamphlet, to which their names affixed Does
Mr.. Griswold believe It? If they do then why OF
pose Mr.. Tyler Did they not assert, that Genera
Harrison was anti Bank, and opposed to disturbing
|
tribution of the proceeds of the Public Lands Is
Mr.. Tyler TO be abused for doing the very things
which the Wings copt-nded foi Let ask the
Wings this question -: Was General Harrison not as
much committed upon the Bank and Tariff questions,
as he was up that of Abolition = Vas he mott If
So then according to Wing doctrines, if the Wing
majority in Congress had, in addition the list of
Wing measures, added that Of Abolition and by par
ty zeal and madness, had carried it through both
Houses Of Congress, would no, the President accord
! ing to the view Of the Decemvri,> been guilty of
cherry, and deserve the block if he had dared to
nerpose the Veto !?
The Wings have lost sight oflove of country, JUS
tee, Constr ueon, and have substituted therefor
| Uhig measures. Every thing must yield 10 this
FOrfunGte. nrtunl tie, indeed for The country that in
John L yier We IN political dis cple of J. ferson
true born son oi Virginia. President who amidst
the storm OF party, holds fast to his principles
Guided by the star OF Democracy, safely trust
him our pilot When the present storm shall sub
| side and calm ensue, we hope to the flag of De-
| mocracy uniattered and uniform, waving over this
| happy country borne by such Republican we be
lieve Mr. Tyler To be. History will do him that jus
tice which is denied him by the Wings now and our
chdren's children will rise up and bless his name
for preserving, at all hazards the free institutions
his country. Lei the rabd and maddened Wings
rail on. They may bark but canno, bite beca the
Democrats extracting tbeir teeth Their days are
numbered Soon they will have to yield the relns
wiser and more prudent and discreet men. 1t is be-
| yond the power of Clay to redeem them A Profit
| foreells this. He has lost his CushIng-A Wise
| man no longer couDse.s hm--a Hunter, with bow
bent, stands ready to oppose hin, and it remains for
| the Federasts to write his eptaph-Cidy in ruins.
We have more to say hereafter.
