vesting himself ofparty prejudces, just inquire
into the true cause OF this man or that mans
active opposition to the present Administration,
and he will find disappointed office seeker
at the bottom Of il, or some one who expects an
Office by change OF administration. What he
finds in one quarter is precisely what exists in
other quarters, and the public prints that inter-
change their editoriaisn and commanded
fions," claiming to be " organs Of public Opt
nion are but the organs, after all, on which this
class play the changes Of the same old tune,
which being put in plain English and Invested
OF its music and poetry would read thus: " We
were Wings and wanted Office and John Tyler
will not give US office, and hence We are no
longer for John Tyer--we will embarrass his
administration, and thwart every effort he
may make to do the country any good-the ul-
tras Of the other party having the same object,
will do the same, and we together will put him
down. because ii he succeeds and the country
prospers, the People may be disposed TO re-elect
him or seecl some one who will follow il his
footsteps, and we shall be kept out of office,
and The old fashion that was adopted by Gen.
Washington OF appointing none TO office but the
good, the wise and the honest may be revived,
and then we are cut off entirely therefore be
nimbe and pass around the abuse Of John Ty-
Ter, and show no quarters. DON'T regard the
country, or lis interests at home or abroad-it
calamity comes, say it is all John Tyers fault

upon him, and let the cry be "change," "change"
and 'overturn," till we get into good easy Of
fees, and as we thus work for the public, let the
public for ever after work for u.s."
This is the plain English Of the present po-
litcal combinations against John Tyler-it is
so in this quarter, and how far it is not so in
other quarters people at home can best judge.

We perceive that the Senate has rejected the nomi
nation of J. w, Tyson as Commissary Of Purchases
for the u 5 Army; this is most extraordinary pro-
ceedng on tie part of that body and will excite the
wonder of all who are acquainted with the circum-
stances we believet was not charged that Mr.
Tyson YVES deficient in character or was in any re.
spect incompetent to the faithful discharge of the du
ties of the station, indeed know that nothing of
the kind was or could he urged against him The
rejection therefore could be no other conceivable
ton of President Tyler, and has the appearance of a
factious proceeding on the part of the u s. Senate
which in our opinion disgrace to that hither to dig

PRESIDENT TYLER'S APPOINTMENTS
The extraor lnaIy number Of infamous appoint-
ments by President Tyler must awaken public curl
osity. There is the appointment of Potceli, whose
Infamous connection with the forger Edwards, is no.
torious Consul to Rio de Janeiro--of Vail, a
drunken sot, bearer of dispatches TO Engand-of
Barker dismissed by Gen. Harrison for improper
conduct, as First Comptroler-of Bradford, as re-
ward for presiding al Tyler meeting, as Federal
Judge-of Tyson, who watched the the last dying
breath as il left the body Of the dead commssary, to
ask in the next haD hour for his oiiice-of Cooper,
his sons father-in law, Military Store Keeper
OF young Tyler his own nephew, as Special Agent
of the Post Office Departmental Grund foreign
er whose abuse of our Government editor Of a
German paper was ridiculous, as Consul to Bremen,
and score of others, of which, that OF J. w.
MCulloch, recently appointed First Comptroller of
the Treasury can only be now noticed
Mr.. Powell is not Consul to Rio Janeiro as
everybody well knows: for although the Presi-
for which no honest man blames him, made the
appointment, yet, with his accustomed honesty,
as soon rs he discovered his error he revoked It,.
Mr. Vail has been dismissed from Office by Mr..
Webster, because of his Incorporate habits.
Mr. Barker was not dismissed by General Har-
rison. Mr.. Tyler dismissed Mr.. Barker from
the office of Comptroller, in favor of Mr. For
ward, upon the express understanding that he
should have some other suitable place, which
was provided, and up to the time of his rejcc-
ton he was never UNEMPLOYED. Mr.. Bradford
presided at a Tyler meeting when Jude Hopkln-
son was in full health 1t being well known
that this estimable gentleman died of apoplexy.
Mr. Tyson did not even know Gen. Irvine, and
was never in his house. Mr.. Cooper, the dis
tngushed tragedan, who digniies, in his per-
son, the Office Of Military Store Keeper, at
Frankfort, owes his appointment entirely to the
friendly disposition of the present able Secreta-
ry at War. The appointment was made in the
absence of the President from the seat Of Gov
ernment in Virginia. Mr.. William Tyler has
been appointed special agent in the Post Office
Department by Mr.. Wickliffe but no one
doubts his honesty or quai6caton-on the con-
trary his ingenious manners have won for him
among his acquaintance a general popularity.
Mr.. Grund has been sent as Consul to Bremen,
and no one in Pennsylvania or New York but
will testify TO the immense service he rendered
the Wig cause in 1910. Some more false
hoods, Mr.. Editor; these don't ans wer

A SPL ENDID LAUNCH

The war steamer Union, constructed at the Cos
port Navy Yard upon plan to test the experiment
of Lieut. HUNTER, U, s. N was launched Yesterday
at Il o'clock.
1t is the opinion of those who are competent to
Judge of such matters that the Union is as perfect
piece of workmanship and as beautiful a model of
naval architecture as was ever turned out of Uncle
Samuel's workshops What her speed will be must
depend upon the success of the experiment. which she
intended to test but there is every thing about her
to Justify the belief, that she will equal the swiftes
boat in the service in that particular We have from
the first felt lively interest in Lieut. Hunters ex-
pertinent and we look forward to its successful issue
with renewed confidence since have seen the noble
ship which is destined to put it to the proof.
The following are the dimensions of the Union:
feet in.
Extreme length 1874 6 r.
Extreme breadth of beam at lunwale 80 6
Depth of hold l6 9
Draft when launched 6
Estimated draft when fully loaded l3
And can carry fuel for thirty days consumption.
The Union will be taken hence next week in tow
of the steamer Poinsett to Washington where she will
receive her engine and other equipments for service.
The workmen in our Navy Yard may well feel a
glow of pride at submitting to the inspection of their
brother chips at Washington so finished specimen
of their handy-work as the Union.

FROM RHODE ISLAND.

We insert a letter from the President 10 the
Governor of Rhode Island with the Proclama-
ton by which il is accompanied. These docu-
ments we find in the Providence Journal. Amid
the war of invective and argument which
has been waged through the press, concerning
the course Of the Executive in relation to the
anomalous position Of things in that State, we
have remained studiously silent. We were
and still are confident that when the exaspera.
lion Of passion has cooled, that the conduct of
the President will meet, as it deserves, general
appreciation. His two letters explain clearly the
course he intends TO pursue, and the consttu-
tional and legal grounds by which il is justified.
After the lucid exposition they furnish, no ex-
panatory comment is required. While he is con-
cliatory to the utmost limit which duty allows,
he will if compelled so to do energetcally
meet the responsibility imposed upon him by
his official station.

to be full grown statesman! We presume,
however, the ttle animal does it all in fun, and
this being its nature, we forgive its propensi-

cause people may pet il for its pretty tail and its
tricks, that it may sometimes be dashed if ii
