From the Richmond Whig

"The British Government borrowed fifty millions
of dollars Of the Bank al very low interest; and the
country was supplied, perhaps, with circulation Of

was, and s-triumphed over her difficulties home

defects of her system, taught first lesson of
freedom That England where "the King do no
wrong" but where the King dare not wrong the peo~
ple-by opposing his pleroga i've to their solemn
voice That England, where ministers "wslk

the monarch himself must topple upon his thrane |!

destitute of intellect and integrity, whose

has placed her stamp of doomed insigni6cance and

Now, who is Mr.. Tyler, and of what crime is
he guilty. that he is thus made the object OF the
most bitter and pitess abuse Mr.. Tyler is a
distinguished son of the Old Dominion--he

Madison, Henry, and Leigh-he is an eminent
statesman, of sterling worth. Why, then, do
the Wigs abuse him2 Is it because they have
found him too honest TO suit their purposes Is
it because he would not succumb 10 the man

The Wings elevated him to the office of Vice
President and, by The death of General Harri-

the Presidential election of 1910, pronounced

inscribed upon their coonskln-hard-cider banner
the motto "Tippecanoe and Tyler too {" The
Wings. Then why are they so dissatisfied
Wby this violent, inflammatory detractlonf
The reason is obvious. His rsfoes have dissa-
tisfed them-he could not be prevailed upon TO
sacrifice the real interests Of his country to ga
,lry the sordid propensities OF a base, corrupt,
and unhoIy f,ction-to fill the pockets of broken
specuators and hungry slock-jo bers and mo-
new mongers, who not only prostltued their po- t.
IiricaI faith, but appropriated their ill-gotten
wealth with the view Of corruptng The elective
franchise. Tee deiamers OF Mr. Tyler consis,
almost exclusively Of this species OF de a

We enlreat our Wing friends to read the
above paragraph, and never again say we that
