From the st. Laurence IN. W Rep,.blica,


The Wing majority in Congress seem determined
to sacrifice every thing to their desire to head Captain
Tyler. They have spent more time at Washington
and drawn more money as wages from the public
Treasury since the election of 1910, than any Con-
gress has done in the same time since the foun
dation of the Government; and they have done no.
thing, literally nothing for the public good. What
wise or useful law have they enacted' not one What
practical or beneficial reform have they accomplish
ed' none, unless the removal of some three thousand
democrats and the appointment to office of the same
number of federal wings should be regarded as re-
form; if so, it is reform that has not had any in
fuence in making the times BETTER for the markets
have not Improvisation does not find higher wages
nor more certain employment than formerly. The
public credit is sinking-S ate debts repudated
and individual debts are discharged by bankrupt
act-money is scarce-commerce and manufactures
languish, and agriculture finds no ready market for
its productions-ye Congress- neglectful of the pub
lie interests is spending all its time in political braws
and party schemng. The wing majority in Congress
rules with rigorous sway and bends every thing to
the two great objects of the wing politicians
one the putting down of President Tyler the other
the putting up Of Henry Clay the next President

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT.

The following letter was written to committee of
gentlemen in North Carolina, in to an inquiry
referring to a statement made by Dr. HILL as will be
seen below. The President need scarcely reterate,
attempt to PROVE the consistency of his opposition
to United States bank for that is as familiar to the
people is the inconsistency of the present idol of
the Federal party. But like to see thrust into the
face of the Federaists testimony and circumstances
like those referred to in the suboined letter. Here
the President not only indicates his own character
for consistency but he exposes the reachery and by
pocrsy of those who used his name to purpose, only
for his wel-known aversion to this and other uncon-
stitutional and ant-republican measures, and who
are now striving to excite prejudice against that Off
Ger, by gross misrepresentation and falsehood. In
this communication the President also efectually re-
flutes the charge preferred against him of not acting
on this question as General Harrison would have
acted, had he lived. The late President by his acts
well his declarations, showed that his course
would not have differed in the least from that of his
And all the hopes that the banktes could
have had from his administration are that unlike Mr.
Tyler he could have been induced to succomb to the
dictation or opportunities of Henry Clay, and the
supple Charles. But to the letter.
Here the Budget copies the letter. which we
are glad to see going the. rounds very generally.

From the Pennsyluanian.

The United States Gazette asks if Mr.. Tyler ac-
cepted nomination from the Wings, when he knew
he was opposed to the principles Of the Whigs'
The true answer to this question is that the Wings,
for the sake Of getting the votes of Mr. Tyler, and
those that agreed with him in principle publicly
abandoned all principles party except the single
one-f principle it may be called-of ga change of
rulers
The only acknowledged Wing principle having
been change and Mr. Tyler not having been OPP
posed to change, of course not opposed to the
avowed principles of the Wing party. If they had
principles which they attempt to conceal, it would
have been dishonorabe in MIR. Tyler to be party to
this concealment and to have participated in asking
the votes of Democrats and States-rght men, under
a false pretence, and with view to betray them
1t is for refusing to play the rogue, for acting the
honest man. for adhering to the public professions
under which he was elected that John Tyler is now
hunted down by the Wings.

From the Old School Republican.

We say to certain very busy ''mousing politicians,
that your plans well understood and your motives
properly appreciated Processing to believe that
John Tyler has saved the country, protected the Con-
stiuton, "yet John Tyler is not our President" If
John Tyler has indeed done much for the country
as you profess to believe, tell me- if you please whose
President is John Tyer' Is he not, thereby, practi
caly and emphatcally the Peoples President land
are you not one of the People! We will support
John Tyler in all his believe to be right
but we will not vote for him in l844' Who asked
you to support measures you do not approves Who
asked you to pledge yourselves to vote for John Ty-
Ter in l844' We should think common modesty
would dictate the propriety of your waiting until you
were asked to vote for John Tyler, before you
fused.
We again repeat, your objects and purposes are
well understood We have but one word to say to
SUCH You not capable of approaching the mo-
tives of John Trer, any one who in all his acts,
not influenced by the same selfshness which hold
undsputed sway over your own actions. But have a
care; you may be caught in your own cunningy de-
vised schemes. Before you are aware of it, you may
stand before the American people, naked, undis-
guised, personfed selfshness.

STIRRING TIMES,

The news which published yesterday in the
letter from Washington, is calculated to open the
eyes of every patriot the Union to the designs and
Vaccinations of the leaders and caucussers of the
Wing party in Congress-bul we can scarcely bring
ourselves to believe that they will be mad enough to
undertake so base conspiracy against the Govern
ment. The idea of usurping the Chair of State and
fosting Mangum into the Presidency, will bring on
them the and contempt of the nation. stain,
shade blacker than that which rests on the name of
Arnold will forever enshroud the names and memo
ries ofalI who participate in the unhoy act In their
desperation to force their points, they may attempt to
carry their caucus resoves-but should they, the
"corporal's guard" will swell to larger army than
any of them ever behed, and it will discourse such
music in their they heard.

The difference between President Tyler and the
Wings in Congress on the Tariff question, is simply
this-Congress demands that Tariff and Distribution
go together-that while the Government collects taxes
with one hand, it be allowed to squander the public
money with the other. The President, on the
trary, says that we cannot have both-that must
have the proceeds of the public lands first support
the Government, and then lay duties to provide for
whatever deficiency may exist. And to this differ
ence the Wings sacrificing the TariH-a measure

A DIG In THE VITALS.

The Richmond Enquirer digs the pipe-layers' or
gan, with his keen weapon, as follows:
"The Baltimore Patriot is decent enough TO ask
us what editor it was who forgave President Jackson
for denouncing him as " the greatest scoundrel in
America ?" We know not--ccrtainly it was not the
editor of the Enquirer. Many years ago when the
Wing presses started such libel, we investigated
the story through a friend at Washington, who
the intimate friend of General Jackson--and, upon
his authorized statement we then nailed the whole
story to the counter as a fasehood Will the editor
of the Baltimore Patriot be pleased to inform us in
his turn who it that earned to himself the title
of the quid pro quo editor for having declared in his
paper that Mr.. John @. Adams could not expect his
support, unless he received the q,,id pro quo ?"

SWIMMING

There is simple scientific rule, which. if su;ta-
bly, impressed upon the mind would save life in oil
ordinary cases and for want of knowledge of tbs
rule, very expert swimmers sometimes drowned
The rule is this clasp your hands behind your back
make your nose the highest point of your body--or
look towards the horizon over your forehead-and
do not stir muscle, and you will nfaIbly float
Thus every human being has life preserver
against water, if only taught to it. The brutes
from their different conformation, and especially
from their want of the great rational development OF
the forehead, float by necessity and swim by instinct

lives by more liberal allowance Of brains

SENSIBLE.

The Vergennes Vermonter, speaking of President
Tyler's veto says:
"There is great deal of nonsense uttered and
printed about the Presidents dsregarding the opin-
and wishes of Congress- The Constitution makes
him part of the Legislative Department Of the law
making power, and by his oath of office he is as
much obliged to be guided by his honest convic-
tons of duty in giving refusing his assent to BILL
as any member of Congress in voting upon it. He is
to act independently; for corrupt disregard of his
duty he is liable to impeachment and by the provi-
sions of the Constitution either House might with as
much propriety be called upon to submit to his opni-
on as he to THEIRS
