ROBERT TYLER.


This is name which is occupying a large space
in the Wing papers, and engrossng no small share OF
the attention of the penny a-iners who get their iv
ing by writing for distant papers the rumors the nu
endoes and contemplated changes" about our ma
tional capital. Who is he' What has he done
These questions are asked frequently and none car
answer them And yet the democracy of the coun-
try well remember how much this same class of pa.
pers and individuals had to say about John Van Blu.
rem under the past administration. He was the son
of the President, and declared against the
whole household. All his out-goings and in-comngs
were watched and belied. And not only So but they
followed him out of the country and tried disgrace
him there. This showed the disposition of the men
And now that President Tyler pursuing what he
believes to be the right, and will submit to no con-
science keeping by the usurping autocrat of the Wing
party, what better he expect than the
same violation of the family tes' History
tells us that they waged war with the fami-
ly of Jefferson and Madison, and we knew they
did upon that Of Jackson and Van Buren,. And why
should they not maintain their consistency of charac
ter and attack the family OF MIR. Tyler also for he
has refused to bow the knee to Baal and to worship
the paper money Moloch. And particularly, since
the Presidents son has been winning laurels in the
poetcal world and thereby cheering the heart of his
only remaining parent. An excellent opportunity is
here afforded to these vampires and how miserable
they would feel had the President not a relative in
the world whom they could attack. The President
has vetoed their bank, and what shall they doi-
They dare not be cool and candid, and submit his
case to the people. They fear the verdict But they
will spit out their spite upon the President in person
they will burn him in efigy and abuse his family
Such is the noble bearing, the clemency, the consist
ency and honor of the Clay party The President
has son Robert, who is his private Secretary. He
is gentleman In every sense of the word of unim-
peachable integrity and ssessed of the highest lite
rary attainments with vigorous mild, lively imagery,
and harmonious dicton. But his father vetoed the
bank bill, and so the Tyler blood is attanted Down
with the young man for the faults of his father
Curses upon his head from every quarter for his ia
Their vetoed the bank bill What consistency!
What logic! And such is all that Robert Tyler,
whom the Wings abuse so much, has done. As po-
litician, he has yet made no preensons. His glory
is in another line altogether. And whilst his
father will reap the lasting gratitude of mil
lions for freeing them from National Bank,
his son will long be remembered as scholar
and poet, profound, CLASSIC, and eloquent
The ".4hasuerus, or Wandering Je,c' has won him
praise from all literary men, and the Knickerbocker
compliments it as one of the best poems of the day.
Besides the work reached the second edi ion in less
than three months, which will speak for itself. But
what avas all this, since his father vetoed the bank
bill
