MR.. ROBERTS ADDRESS.
/ The address of MIR. Roberts 10 the pub
/ he, which we gave Yesterday, caused
much excitement. Tie people stood as
ioni,hed TO see such proof Of the presi.
dents Interference ia matters wholly be-
You'd his sphero-ordcring Collector to
dismiss from service men, for whose con.
duct, that Collector was accountable, aud
I whose character and abilities were above
/ ccnsure.
But what was worse, the President was
seen debating 10 the Collector his appoint.
ments, TO supply the place to be vacated
by dictaiion. How should Mr.. Tyler know
any thing of the character or capacities of
/ the men whom he ordered Mr.. Roberts to
appoint This could not have occurred
without a mlnu!eness Of knowledge which
the President Of the United States could
not be supposed TO possess, and which,
however obtained, must strike every homo
rabe mind as wholly unworthy the Execu-
! tive Of the nation.
I We hope the address Of Mr.. Roberts
will be generally read. Its contents con-
cern the nation as much as they do the
people of this city. And if the letters Of
Mr.. Tyler do not tend to increase public
contempt for him and his conduct, ,hcn II
will be because the evils of such a cause
are deemed sufficient 10 increase contempt
into cxecra,ion.
! From The ", York Courier and Enquirer.
"lf any were still inclined to believe in
the political morality of Mr.. John Tyler,
we think, the expose made by Mr.. iona.
than Roberts, OF the circumstances con-
aected with his removal from Office, must
have caused them at once 10 dismiss such
an absurd though; from their minds. In
our view, this expose places Mr.. Tyler
before the country IN light so perfectly
contemplate, III "A position so utterly De.
/ graded, that Virginia must blush 10 own
HIM as one Of her sons, and the people Of
the United States ask themselves, for
what crimes Providence has doomed them
TO endure in him, such deep disgrace
II was not an order he gave Mr.. Rob
erts. Oh no 1t was simple request ;
but if not complied with, Mr.. Roberts
knew, as a man Of honor, what he was
bound to do. Next. il is a requisition TO
be complied with at once and TO the let
ter. Thea, the removals are demanded
for reasons connected with the administra-
ton Of Government ntiairs-the removal
Of a night watch or Custom house porter
IN Philadelphia, connected with the admin.
stration of Government affairs Was
there ever such batch Of palpable snhter-
fuges Well indeed nigh, Mr.. Tyler
write, according to the version Of the
Madisonlan, " stranger, tell the LacedT.
monians, that ue lie 10 obedience to their
laws"
What a picture too, does the State
ment of Mr.. Roberts present Of the lnte-
ror of the household Of President Of the
United States. His porter jniated into the
secrets Of the Cabinet and informed OF the
Executive correspondence. His private
secretary and his mental, combining to
turn away from the door man advanced
in years, and who has filled offices Of the
highest honor both in the Legislative
! Councils of the Union and his native
State, man who, in the language Of the
Executive himself, he recognised as bis
elder in that political school, to the ad-
yanccmen; of the principles of which, we
have alike devoted anxious DAYS and nights.
f" And TO this man, too, the President,
lorgellul of the ordinary prophecies OF life,
aud the character Of gentleman, refused
to return salu'atlun.
There is, however, another and more
important view to be taken Of TIC occur
renee. 1t is fragrant outrage on the
Constitution and Law, which the PresI'
dent has perpctraled, aud for which he has
vet to learn, he may be called to strict
account
