prone to suspect Others
T In another column we have given an extract
from Wing paper in Pennsylvania, manifest
ing disposition not TO prejudicate the character
of the Administration, but to judge it candidly
by its acts; we here append passage from one
| OF the opposite politics, printed in the same
State, indicating temper equally liberal. The
subioined remarks on the fate to which the fame
and position of every eminent man in this
country inevitably subject him, of being the
large, for the missiles of SANDER, are just and
opposite. We could never boast great public
man whose character has not been assailed,
whose conduct msrepresented, and motives
impugned Not only are his public acts malign-
ed, but the veil is removed from the sanctuary of
private life. and the steathy foot of the SANDER
er creeps in, that he may discover the marks
which his malicious ingenuity will transform
into evidence to support his calumnies, not only
against the man, but against his wife and chill
dren and even relatives. So inveterate and I'M
firing has been the spirit of SANDER among u.s.
as to extort the observation that both candi
dates for the Presidency had been fully proved
if the half said against them were true-to be
worthy of no other elevation than to the gal
lows The successors Of Jefferson and Madi-
son can hardly expect to escape the fate OF those
illustrious Chief Magistrates. They should
consider it rather as subject of selfgratulation
that, while they endeavor to make these noble
examples the prototypes of their actions, the
enemies of the Administration now reterate
the vituperation with which the opponents Of
those two OF eat, men endeavored TO blacken
their character
From the Butler (Pa) Democratic Herald.
JOHN TYLER.
There never lives man, it matters not how great
statesman he may be, or how conscientious or hon.
est he is in the discharge of his duties, but will hnd
before he dies enemies enough to SANDER him, and
hundreds of villains to blackguard him. II john ~

adopted could not pass through life unnJured by the
whitening, blighting touch of horde OF slanderers
and detested demagogues
We are not Tyler men, nor did we ever support
him for an Office but we think is the duty OF every
rood citizen to regard the acts the Chief Executive
in different light from what many, who supported
him now look upon them. He is not infalllble lie
is as prone to error other men are, and more SO,
no doubt if his slanderers are to be believed, be-
cause he differs from them nasmuch as yet mas dared
to act and think for himself in matters OF pith and
moment This is the way, however, with every per-
son. il makes no difference what may be his situation
in life if he presumes to entertain opinions adverse
to those who political friends Vituperatlon,
abuse and 'kckng out of the ranks, IS what ne re-
ceyes for his pains. From this circumstance alone,
it is no wonder that the people Of other governments
allege we select the worst men for office, because II
the assertions of political enemies, and often Poiitca
friends, are believed, none bear such immoral ana
disrcputabe characters as those who are cahu'daes
for Office

TO give an example Of Wing consistency, it is but
necessary to mention the fact, that when Mr.. lyIer
was in Pittsburg, at the Harrison Convention, he was
called upon to deliver his opinions the subject OF
Tariff, and was prevented by the cry men who now
curse him, because they alleged, it was loco-focos
who were calling upon him. Did this act not show,
