of Brothery Love" IL seems me that neither
the President, any Of his free friends can for a
moment hesitate 10 condemn one OF the resolutions
passed at this meeting II is slayish sentiment -
4" that consider insult 10 the President 10 thi0art
has policy on assaiI the in ,ohom he reposes conf
dence." What l-if true friend approves not of an
Executive measure, thinks il will njure the country
or that it will njure the President is il not especial
ly his duty, his office friend to thwart il by all
fair and friendly means Could he do, according to
his own judgment and conscience better service TO
friend than in a manly way to him from the
effects of an error Or does this mean TO assert the
abomnable position that friend Of The President
must servilely yield his independence of mind and
action, both hls conscience and his judgment, and
blindly obey policy he deems wrong to his country
and injurious to his rend But the latter clause Of the
sentence is sentiment still II debases the
friends of the President the condition Of being OBJ
liged to like all rhom he likes rather not TO assail
the men in whom he reposes confidence" Now, TIE
old apothegm is =
Love me, love nay dog"
but 1t was never, surely applied in this sense The
President may make, he has made, some wide
mistakes in men,
! Look at the host of men who have betrayed the
confidence he reposed in Them when he talked freely to
them about the Fiscal Bank and the Fiscal Corpora
ton, and who sought his conversation in order TO
misquoe and misrepresent his and language on
the subject of a Bank. He reposed confidence in
them and thought several Of them friends, aid yet
there were not wanting men around him who warn
ed him that they Judas Iscariots and who thus
assailed them to himself They did SO in time to
save him from more of their treachery. Did they
insult" or injure, or did they serve and befriend the
PRESIDENT Now, these same friends, who thus as
sailed those in whom he put confidence love the
President best, and most faithfully, and they will
kick the Presidents dog out of their way as as
they will any other mans dog ay, and shoot him, too,
q. soon, If they catch him killing sheep
Besides in further disapprobaton of the proceed
ngs OF this meetng canddly confess that they do
look little more like the complexion and features
of Tyson than Tyler proceedings The first and Sc
cond resolutions indifierenty good enough the
third is bad enough to be burnt; the fourth is right
and just; but those who oppose Mr.. Tyson, and his
dominatlon do not complain of Mr.. Smith they
think him judicous, good and officer, and, if
let alone, will do the Administration credit and they
only wish the President to set Mr.. Smith upon his
own responsibility and upon free and Independent
ground; they think that then he will do right The
fifth resolution wise and NOBLE and it is only to be
regretted that the leaders of this meeting did not ex-
actly observe either its letter its spirit We fear
that their proceedings will give offence to many bre
thren who are not weak and that mischiefs will re-
suit from the divisions ostered by these very resolves
i, which deprecate dsunion That there were many
more besides Mr.. Fitnam, who were struck by the
missiles of this meeting, though silent and not seen
is certain. Some, many if not all, of these men,
as sincere and honest in their friendship to Mr. Ty
Ter, they are determined in their hostility to Mr.
Tyson-though they love the President, they do not
like him. Rebellion aga INST him must not be thought
opposition to the President and these NUT not
be kept away from he support of the Administration
by an obnoxious leader, if he be obnoxious to
considerable minority of its friends. Take leader
who can hush faction, destroy clques, and unite all
The published proceedings emblazon on their face
that the meetings real, though occult object was to
back MIR. Tyson, though the President is adroty
kept in front of him the plain proof of this taken
with the context is the written conclusion: "On mo-
ton, the meeting then adjourned with nine cheers
for President Tyler three cheers for Of Pennsyra-
MAS honored sons, j. WASHINGTON TYSON, and three
cheers for Thos. S. Smith, Esq, Collector Of the Port
of Philadelphia"!.! Here is a where three was
meant to count more than nine and the in the mid
die, with President on his right, and Collector on
his left TO be the Conserved of all Observers
That among the anti-Tyson clique there are some
wolves in sleeps clothing" may be so. They
are to be found prowling every where as well as in
Philadelphia. All we say of them is, that all
of all cli
and trap them,-their scalps, when taken, are good
in Virginia and other States to pay taxes. wolf is
a mean low, sneakng cowardly insidious animal,
but though false and treacherous and cunning he is
fatal only to small and weak prey He can never do
serious injury, unless he attacks with pack of hun
CRY fellows, to game as large President, is over
:" carrier in the Post Office" Shall poor Fitnam be
victmised to appease the resentment of a clique p
No. in event should it be. No attempt should be
made to prove his faith and friendship to the Presi-
dent, in the form of a trial for removal And if
even guilty of being poor, petty carrier wolf who
cannot possibly touch the lion in the royal DEM with
! paw fang, let him % take and carry away " as a
thievish wolf will and leave his tail to be cut off some
these days, by some mere rappers snare, worthy of
his tail, when he will be ashamed to appear among
the beasts even of his own kind The lion is too no
BILE TO notice such foe. If innocent of being a
wolf, and he become Of the genuine flock then JUS
tce and right will be done to lei him remain But
repeat there is retoard offered for ,coD scalps--
when taken within the fold, or when in numbers and
in size they become formidable; for though the lion
fears them not, they oH kill sheep, and are at times
dangerous to Some such are SEEN and the aim
of the hunter is bearing " dead upon them But
good hunter will beware lest he shoot sheep instead
OF wolf We, therefore, say that there might be
danger in inhictng g immediate expulsion" as de-
nounced by DIR. English for calling meeting to pro-
coed against MIR. Tyson not Mr.. Tyler. Tyler
