burg Daily Morning Post
The President is entitled to forbearance and even
gratitude from the Democratic party AT the sacri-
fee Of his own comfort, and while enduring the ob-
loquy and defamation almost unparalleled, he has
manfuiIy maintained the principles OF the Democra
CIV in his vetoes and in his general policy And, com
plain as may of his minor acts, he has, in this,
done immense and ncaculable good to the Demo
cratic party and its principles. Had he, instead oil
maintaining the measures Of the Democracy chose
TO advance the men of that party exclusively, to
Office he would not have done 1t as much service,
and would not, at this moment, stand well he
does. He has not proper to come wholly into
the Democratic ranks, but still he has acted noble
| and disnterested part. He has done much more to
| secure the permanent asceDdancy OF democratic
principle than he could have done by filling every
Office under the Government with Democrats, and
| declining to send forth his immortal vetoes.
| We take an extract from the article in the Demo-
cratic Review alluded TO above to show how and by
what indecent means he was assailed by the Bank
party We are free to say that the perusal OF the
sketch has given us a higher opinion Of his frmness
and honesty than have ever had, though, it VIII
be remembered that we have always approved his
| course
| On the threshold of his administration the Presi-
| dent was brought into official communication with
advisers selected by his predecessor, and nerving
himself for the mighty struggle which he ioresaw
was approaching, he permitted some minor measures
to pass without opposition, which, under other cir
cunstances, he might have opposed.
The passage of the bill to incorporate Bank oil
the United States signalized the great crisis and de-
manded the exercise Of his utmost 6rmness.
We learn from an eyewitness the extraordinary
measures which adopted at this period to over
throw the Presidents settled purpose
Committees Of Congress were in constant atten-
dance at his rooms, assaing him with earnest appeals
to his feelings and his interests on the one hand,
while the other the walls Of federal wrath were
denounced if he continued obdurate. Even the pri-
vacy of his bed-chamber was invaded at unseasona-
BILE hours by individuals in high station, and the ex-
| traordnary expedient was resorted to, Of summon
ing his intimate personal friends from his native State
TO beseech him to give his sanction to the bill oil abo-
limitations. To crown the Vaccinations OF the led
eral politicians in and out of Congress, the members
| of the Presidents Cabinet, with an indelicacy and
violation of duty unparalleled in the history OF our
Government, held a secret meeting at The Treasury
Department, apart from the President, and without
his knowledge, to devise plans to coerce him into sub
mission. While these extraordinary and perseverlng
effor were in progress the Democratic members Of
Congress were naturally suspicious Of the fidelity to
principle of one who has been elevated to ofhce by
the Federal forces, and they consequently declined
any interference in the matter. The result was, that
Mr.. Tyler was left single-handed and alone to com
bat The powerful influences which assailing his
integrity, and compelled to rely the sustaining
power of his Maker and the approving voice of hi:
own conscience.
Fortunately for the country, he planted his foot OF
the rock Of principle, and on the 10th Of September
lS4l, placed his official veto the odious law. Tc
properly estimate the value of Mr. Tylcr's frmness
must review the position of the Democratic part,
at this eventful crisis Defeated at all points,
| overwhelmed by the force of the political tornad,
which had swept over the land, they saw before then
but a succession of arstocratc usurpations, whose
effects would shake the very foundations of our valued
institutions. The rmness of Mr.. Tyler dispelled thu
gathering gloom, and the need of approval awarded
him by the patriot at the Hermitage met with a will
| ling response from the Democracy of the whole
Union, until its echoes lost in the caverns OF Tho
| Rocky mountains.
