PARTY TACTICS.

President Tyler suddenly called by a most aiilic-
tive dispensaton of an allwise Providence, 10 the
high and responsible duties Of the Executive head OF
II 900 900 OF intelligent freemen, entered upon ms
duties with disposition 10 administer the Govern
ment as 10 secure the prosperity and happiness oil the
peope-eleyate the character OF the nation-and per
petlae the Republican institutions of the country
As evidence have but to refer TO the primer
piles promulgated by him at the moment oil entering
upon his responsible duties.
Elected to the Vice Presidency-the contingency
by which he succeeded to the Presidency, though
looked to not improbable by some, did not contrl-
butte TO the result of the election of 1910. he came
into power without party to sustain him. The par
ty TO which he indebted for his election to the
Vice Presidency by their own Acknowledgements, did
not expect him by their votes 10 be placed IN a re-
sponsible situation, otherwise, if they now to be
believed, he the last man IN the United States
they would have selected. HIS name might be used
to and their secret ulteror purposes
not endangered
Seeing their plans utterly frustrated by awse God
who had 50 kindly watched over our beloved country
leading Revolutionary Fathers through paths
they knew not Of TO successful vindcation OF their
rights and the rights OF man The leaders oil The
Wing party presuming upon the fact, that the Pres-
dent was not surrounded by party ready to do ms
bidding, and sustain whatever he might recommend
determined to make him and the power with which
he invested subservien to their party objects.
The prostration of John TYLER was necessary TO
their objects To force him to abandon all of his
long cherished principles were the means to accom-
plish their end.
Having clear conception of his position being de-
srous to administer the Government successfully, ac
knowledging his obligations to the party with which
he was connected, he is found in the brief interval
between his accession and the assembling of Con
gress earnestly engaged with his cabinet in the deve
opment of principle which would enable the Wing
party regulate the currency and yet his own honor
and fame not impaired. Most gratifying the be-
lief that success had crowned his and the Cabinets
efforts
The decree had, however, gone forth that John
Tyler must be either forced to abandon his principles,
or brought under the denunciaon of the Wing party
The alternative presented. He hestated not
He counseed not with his fears he sought notinglo-
rious at the expense of his personal honor and
reachery the high trust contided to him under such
solemn and imposing circumstances. In full
view of all that awaited him, he boldly resolved to
protect the rights maintain the dignity and ndepen-
dence of the Executive branch of the Government
He threw himself upon the country-appealed to the
people in confidence prepared TO meet thar Judgment
and cheeriully submit to their decision
The country, the Of freedom, more, inf
ntely more interested in the result than John Tyler.
To generous, noble, patriotic mind, the possession
of power for the sake OF power worthless bauble
10 such an oneian approving conscience will leave
him nothing to regret but the inability to protect his
country from the aspiring demagogue. His own cha
racter his fame, safe in the hands of posterty
His peace of mind, bis own happiness is IN the
keeping of an approving conscience.
