wings III feet, and probably weighed 1000 lbs. its
tail, which was about feet long, nearly the shape

THE FEDERAL b.


Ills mite evident now that the trickery and double
dealing of Federalism, in the last political canvass
are to be resorted to again by the same lacuon III
the national contest OF lS44 Certain 1t VIII De, we
know that under the well known banner OF Henry
CLAW the effort to deceive in this will prove
abortiye but still it is evident the people must sub
nit TO the insult and disgrace Of such effort The
game has been adroitly commenced at Albany, and,
if watchful, the public will see IT followed up in
into the hands of Orville l.. Holley, and has made
open and pointed demonstration in favor of MIR.
Clay. This is to encourage and incte to vigorous
action the ardent friends of Clay and United States
Bank. On the other hand the Evening Journal, for
no other purpose, as its language clearly evnces,
than to concate, Cor in vulgar parlance, pull wool
over the eyes' of that large portion of the Wing
party who uncompromisingly hostile to United
States Bank is out in opposition to such instltu-
ton. The following is its fmsy and easily under
stood language the subject We have distin-
guished some parts of it by italics
"The Daily Advertiser having taken the lead in this
matter it is entitled "to be regarded the organ of
Mr.. Clay and his friends in this CITY," But there
is other "feelng in this quarter than of ar
dent good will for "the organ" and its candidate No
| liring is icorthy Of the Presidency as
HENRY CLAY, and zoe heartily hope to him in The
Executive Chair We only differ NTH our friends
in regard to the best MODE of etecting the object. We
believe that the next year and half should be devo-
ted to the advocacy and maintenance of the principles
|
sentatire, Among the considerations which nfu-
ence course, is a strong desire to the Bank
question settled before the nomination of Wing
Candidate for President But those icho differ in Opt
MON oih in this respect, moped by noble en-
husiasm and shall rejoice to their zeal rindi-
Gated by We shall be ready to take the field
when We assured that 2ited States Bank mill
stone is not to be tied to neck; but have no
Stomach for the fight while that rotten reeking
case is offending the nostrils of the People"
By this it will be readily seen, that while the Even
ing Journal abors lid the federal party of the odium
attached the advocates of Bank, it is careful not
to utter lisp to the prejudice of the Bank candidate
Mr. Clay and the "whig party are arrayed against an
Executive of their own choice, because he would not
suffer ga United States Bank mill stone" to be fas-
tened to the ''neck' Of the nation, even while the
stencil of the "rotten reekng carcase" of the old
is still offending the nOstrs of the people, and still
while in the very act of giving him and them its sup
pot the State paper processes to be opposed to bank
But this, all must perceive, is done only "ht
best mode Of e6ecting the object"

PRESIDENT TYLER AND SO-FORTH

=
A number of the respectable sxpenny" party
hacks all over the country making great fools Of
themselves in regard to their treatment of President
Tyler, for they are abusing him like pick pocket,
and thereby defeating their ends, for the more
they reve him the more popular the Executive is be-
coming with the people.
The public see plainly enough that it is not
the good of he country which these political hirelings
have at heart but the election to Office oftheir friends;
for matter what measure the President proposes
they oppose it-and The more determinedly if it be a
good one-les it might be the of increasing his
popularity, and thus reducing their chance for the
loaves and fishes in 1874
AT the commencement of his career, the ISLANDERS
poured forth on President Tyler had their effect on
u.s. and we presumed that he might be person but
little qualified to do honor to his august station; but
his manly and unfinching conduct and The rabid and
unreasonable abuse of his enemies all sides of the
that we think it very probable may give him oul
vote for President at the next general election.
The beauty of Mr.. Tyler President is that he
is neither wing nor loco foco, but the untrammelled
First Magistrate of People, instead of faction. He
does not mediate measures for any particular body of
large-and if he holds out to the end, mistaken
if the country don't prove grateful to him for bis man
hood and patriotism.
When Mr.. Tyler got into power he did not make
indscriminate slaughter of office seekers merely
because their political sentiments were little at var
ance with his own and hence he was shamelessly
viled by the hacks of either party by the one be-
he chose to retain good men in Office which they
filled with credit to the exclusion of bad ones, whom
he feared nigh disgrace them; and by the other Boz
cause they foresaw that if he went that he
would become great favorite with the people at large
who, notwithstanding the clanor they make in voting
in their officers, have strong anpathy TO Office seek
ers in general, and glory in their modification.
1t seems that Notwithstanding the Presidents libe
rality, many of the persons whom he suffered to
main office or who were appointed thereto by Gen
eral Harrison, working against his interests sub
rosa, which has come to his ears, and hence rumor
says that he is about to make sweep among them,
which would be nothing more than natural for any
would be fool to give another stick to break
his own (the gver's) back.
Moreover it would he popular to kick out
about third of the Office cormorants and give their
places to men of honesty and moderation, like the
President himself; who would be more likely to look
to their characters, and the duties they paid
for performing, than to the interests of clique.
However all this may be, the President decidedly
becoming popular, and the papers which reviled him
so outrageousy, are as so many vipers biting at file.
