THE WAVE OF DEMOCRACY.

President Tyler is daily advancing in the good
esteem of the great Democratic family of the coun-
try ; and if the question could be put to the people
with the view of ascertaining whether the of
the President or that Of the majority of the two
Houses of Congress was most approved, we are sure
that large ajorty of the votes of the freemen Of
the nation would be poed in favor OF the Presidents
conduct. His vetoes by no means unpopular,
especially his last. The improper union OF the Land
and Tariff bills is denounced by the iohole Democratic
party and by many Wings. All true friends OF the
Tariff who wished it to pass, for its own sake uncon-
taminated with party politics. speak out decidedly
against the bill recently vetoed by the President.
The elections in every State except Kentucky have
loudly rebuksd the majority OF the two Houses OF
Congress What is the reason, if their course of pol
icy is right that they have been so completely over
whemed at the polls every where, except IN single
State Why is it that North Carolina has deserted
the Wing standard and resolved to change one OF her
United States Senator's and that, too, when she has
the President of the United States Senate from her
commonwealth Why is it that Indiana has so sig
nifcantly given notice to the Wings IN Congress that

the people of that State

understand public sentiment, they have only TO look
