THE TRIAL OF THE STgAmERs.--In the late
passage Of Tile Mississippi and Missouri, from
New York TO the Chesapeake, there was test of
speed. The former was built in Philadelphia,
the latter in New York. and the shipbulding
reputation of each Of the two cities was some-
what involved in the result. The victory has
been achieved by the Mississippi, most decided
ly, and therefore by Philadelphia. In her course
up the Potomac, she travelled at the rate Of 81
miles in hours and 10 minutes, with tide u
in her favor. She made II revolutions per min
ute. with 1874 inches steam, cutting off 81
stroke. Tho Express says :-''rhis is moving

of Cancellation and compromise, but little hope will

This is correct view Of the case, and we are anx-
ious impress it upon the minds of all who pretend
to more for their country and her valuable in
stutions than for the success of particular men or
measures. Such pretcnsons Of patriotism, be il re-
membered, on the lips Of large proportion Of
both the two great parties in this country and yet so
powerful is the influence of party pride encouraged
as it is by reckless party leaders, and SO strong are
the trammels of party organization that very many
even of those who admit the wholesome effect of the
check which this ruinous party policy has received
at the hands of President Tyler, are yet slow to in
terpose their influence in public way, against the
prosecutions of his enemies. This ought not so 10 be

The proofs Of the appreciation with which the
course of President Tyler is regarded by the
just men Of all parties, are certainly accommodating
in all quarters.
There never was time in the history of our
country, when so many circumstances opened
the way for union Of all patriotic minds in
support Of an Administration which have
no interest or desire not in harmony with the
public welfare. Our national honor, and all essen
tial interests, being watched and guarded at home
and abroad, The leaders cannotprevent the Ameri-
can People from doing justice TO the Executive.
The Trenton Emporium and True American,
the organ of the Democratic Republican party in
New Jersey, thus speaks of the President:
"It is now reduced to certainty, that an eternal
separation has taken pace between the Clay-whigs
and the present National Administration. The lead
ers Of the Clay-whigs have abused the President
without measure, in Congress and elsewhere. They
have called him {" traitor" and " imbecile"-a man
destitute of honor and integrity and unworthy of all
confidence. They have insuled the nation in the
person of the President at the public dinner given to
Lord Ashburton. They have, in their zeal for Mr..
Clay, outraged all the decencies of life. Why then,
should Mr. Tyler adhere to such men; Why should
he continue such men in Office And why should the
Democratic party be backward in sustaining the Ad-
ministration in the they have adopted
MIR. Tyler is Democrat in education and feeling
The Democratic party under many obligations to
him for his course TO the United States Bank and
Distribution bill. He is in favor Of Tariff suited
to the country. Let every Democrat examine the
course of President Tyler"
