PRESIDENT TYLER,S ADMINISTRATIONS

Every dsp,sslonate observer of the train of events
which have happened since the inaug ration of the
late lamented Harrison, most be perfectly satisfied that
the furious hostility evinocd TO the Administration by
certain parts who blindy obedien to the die
taon OF leader originated IN the disappointed ambi-
ton OF that man Mr.. Clay regarded with evil eye
the victorious progress Of the Harrison pary-he saw
the darling object of his ambition, the title of Chief
Executive OF the nation, receding from his view. He
found it impossible, however stem the current that
was sweeping that party on to victory. Yielding to
necessity, he floated along with the tide. "A bright
vision rose before hm--an eminence appeared lofty
and remote, but still attainable--H Harrison pledged
himself to serve but single term. Here then, was
chance. He revclled in ancipations of the future
But his dream of power and pride was transory and
delusvo-the gallant war worn veteran whose ~ Asses
had been spoken and sung by thousands, was snatch.
ed away in the first hour of and Triumph
John Tyler became President an was bound 10 serve
the people for the remainder of the Presidential term
He was free to stand as candidate for the ensuing
four years. Again the sceptre had euded the g asp
of the Dictator and his Immediately oh
sen. He was resolved right or wrong, to wage un-
renting warfare against the President and his party
He employed all talents for this purpose-sure of
the headong zeal and base subserviency of his "fol-
lowers" and then retired from the Senate after most
dramatic scene, declaring, before Heaven that he
had never been acuated in his career by any selfish
motive.
The extent to which the furious zeal of the oppo-
ncns of President Tyler has hurried them is truly as
founding. They have opposed the no nnations Of the
President and sought to render the appointing power
farce and have dared to say that he must sub
nit to their dication in his choice of candidates for
Office. Not single act of the President emanatlng
from construction of his duty, but has been visited
with abuse misrepresentation and contempt. They
have not scruplcd to charge the head of the nation
with treason because he has refused render himself
the tool of his opponents Finding that the Presi-
dent oiH consIue the Constitution according to the
lights of his Nidom, they have iefused to do any
thing for the country because he will sacrifice all
principle, honor, every thing for them.
The public creditors must 90 uapad, the public
treasury must remain empty, the right and left arms
of national defence must be paral yzed, in the futile
hope of destroying the reputation of thu Executive
by laying the fruits OF their evil dongs at his door
But the actors and the motives of these neiaious
of these sins of omission and commits
sion, have been marked and will be branded with con-
tempt
Now let us what the President has done in the
face of all the embarrassments that have been
thrown IN his path. Let the question be fairly asked
and answered.
The brief space Of time that has elapsed since the
death of General Harrison has been crowded with
important political events, and has presented ques-
tons of the most delicate and complex character
The Mcleod affair at one time wore most threaten
ing and sinister aspect yet moth ng could be more
Judicous and honorable than the conduct of the Ad-
minlstration at that trying crisis, The Creole case
was handled with sound judgment and success, and
the Santa Re question was disposed of in manner
mat reflected high honor on the President, though
inc hoWls OF the Opposition demagogues were never
once silenced by his course.
The President has been mlst furousy assailed for
the course he has adopted regard Ia the late revo-
luton In Rhoje Island. The steps he took in the b,-
slness have been most artfully misrepresented. He
has been accused OF sanguinary desire TO shed the
blood OF his ielow-countrymen, and that, too, by the
