THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.


The Veto of the JUNIOR Tariff bill appears to have
aroused the Wings, in and out of Congress, to de-
gree of desperation rarely, if equalled in the
party conflicts of the day Their denunciations
against Mr.. Tyler are of character which portends
the advent of political struggle more furious
than those which have for years distracted our
try And it must now, we think, be evident to all
rejecting that crisis in political affairs is
at hand, which cannot result otherwise than in pla-
cling John Tyler high in the estimation Of his coun-
trymen
John NJ Bolts solemn farce, or in other words his
twelve specific charges on which he intends to inn
peach the President will assuredly recol upon the
head of the conceited demagogue who brought them
forward, and believe that this last effort of the
desperate faction of which Bolts is the acknowledged
head will open the eyes of thousands of honest men
who have hitherto ranked themselves with the Wings,
and cause them to yield an honest and consistent
support to Mr.. Tyer's Administration. OF one
thing we are convinced, that the people disguised
with the conduct of the ultra Wings in Congress-
They have the Wing majority resort to means
uncalled for and dshonorabe, to defeat measures
commended by the Executive, when such measures
were essential to the prosperity of The country
They have heard members of that majority openly
denounce the Chief Magistrate knave and fool,
and stgmatze his friends vile and contemplate
faction, unworthy Of place amongst the statesmen
of America when the President and his friends were
actively and necessarily engaged in carrying on the
affairs of Government, honestly and jud ciously.
They have seen honest faithful, and competent
men, rejected by the Wing majority in the Senate,
because they supp sed to be friendly to MIR. Ty-
ler's Administration
They have seen the public money squandered by a
party that came into power pledged to reduce the
expenses of the Government and to introduce econo-
nv into all public transactions, and they have also
seen that same party create National Debt of more
than $50 100000, in order to fasten upon the coun-
try their ruinous and anti-republican measures.
They have repeated efforts made by the ma
iority in Congress, to embarrass the ACTON Oh tie
Executive Department of the Government; by pre-
senting acts to the President for his approval which
were Known to be unconstitutional or in direct viola
ton of solemn compacts; and they know that these
acts we're presented with other view than to en-
tran the Executive and render him odous in the eyes
of the American People.
And lastly, they have seen member OF Congress
rise in his place and prefer twelve grave and mpor-
tan charges against the President with view to his
impeachment all of which as false as the false
hearted demagogue who presented them. These
Things have been noted, and will be remembered by
the people They will sustain John Tyler in the
ercise of his constitutional functions heartily
they did the venerable Jackson, when he arrested the
career Of the spectators and changers by his
Veto of the United States Bank. In short, persecu-
ton will not be tolerated by the reemen of this coun
try. Let MIR. Tyler pursue the even tenor OF ms
way regardless alike of the jeers and the threats OIL
Mr. Clay and his followers, and he will soon triumph
over ali opposition and be able to look down win
complaccncy those who have already blasted tneT
reputation by their endeavors TO overthrow anu us
grace his administration.
What will our friend say when he hears OF
the fate of the senior Tariff Distribution bill
