CRATIC PARTY

THOMAS II. ELLIS, Secretary

Under this head the Lycoming Gazette Gan
able Democratic journal in Pennsylvania des-
cants at length on the present state Of AFFAIRS
We make the following extracts:
90 The eagle had scared to the sun, and had died in
its rays 1 he Office of Chief Magistrate of course
devoved upon the Vice President, MIR Tyler. Be-
fore MI Iyel took the oath of oiicebeiore he be-
came occupant of the White House, for the irst
time, the federal papers of the Atlantic cities took the
alarm. Great pains were taken to convince the pub
lie that John Tyler a thorough gong, out and
out ederallst-regularly died in the woo-wihout
hope of conversion or salvation But all would not
do. 1t could not be proved that Capt. Tyler was a
Bank man, Protective Tariff man, or peculiarly
warm friend OF any OF the pet measures Of the federal
party.
." John Tyler was sworn into office. Congress met
bank bill passed-was vetoed; second pa sed,
which shared the same tate-lhe Cabinet dissolved,
and the great federal party loaned like the lashng
in a tempest. We will not stop to inquire INTO
the motives which induced Mr. yler to take the firm
stand hch he did, and The of that par
tvs Indignation which elected him office. Ii is
enough for To know that he has done two act
which will confer lasting benefits on the whole coun-
| Try, and which has already recommended him to the
favorable notice of the Democratic party.
"The Veto OF the TWO bank bills b, President TYLER
is sin of such appalling magnitude that 1t will
be overlooked or forgiven by the ederalIsts. They
have drawn the sword thrown aside the scabbard AID
sworn eerni hostility to the present Executive No
concessions, no compromise, will restore Mr. Tyler to
| favor with his quondan friends. The federalists
with but few exceptions, have formed comblnaton
in both the Senate aud House of Representatives, TO
hwar, defeat, and fnaly crush the present Adm.
nisraton, even If the victory should be purchased
the sacrifice of the interests of the whole county -
! We have seen nominations rejected by the Senate
without rhyme reason-attempt, made to embarrass
the Administration IN every possible iorm-and 1t
matter OF common notorlety that every measure
known to emanate from the Executive, his Cabi-
net, at the very Threshold by the aJorty par

SIN the present state of affairs, II Is high time for
the country to take alarm. With increasing expen-
ditures and decreasing revenue-pubic and private
credit seriously impaired, If not esroyed-threatened
with INVASION from abroad, and civil war at home
States regulating their solemn charlottesville ma
tiona depi increasing with fearful ceerity-rade and
commerce in the most langulshng condition-wthout
currency, and the poor robbed of heir little earnings
by brokers and bankers--thousands and thousands
OF mechanics and workngmen thrown out of en-
| ployment-our national councils daily exhibiting
scenes Ct anarchy, confusion, and the lowest species
otrufhanlsm-with these appalling facts slarlDg in
the face the question naturally arises, what can, what
should be done We see boz one course left for Mr.
| Tyler TO pursue. Let him the nominal connec-
| ten which now binds him to the Federal party.
him assemble about him of tried virtue, of pure
Democratic principles, and in whom the people can
repose ihpclt confidence. Let MIR. Tyler look TO
Jefferson to Madison, and to Jacks IN democratic
models worthy of imitation and let the principles
which those distinguished patriots protested and
which were manifested in all their public and private
acts, be to him his political creed-his code of prac-
tee.
Let John Tyler pursue such a course, and we pro-
mise, in advance, that he will be triumphsntly sus
tanned by the Democratic party BY thus consulting
the true interests of his country, he will acquire
honor, than by any acts he possibly could do tn,
President of party, or the leader of a faction.
I'VE await the political mo ements that are now "a
pidly developing at Washington W ia rapidly"
