fine Ground for the exercise of patriotism worthy
of a nober ambition than that of mere reelection
20 his offiee-wcre such an event possible. If Mr.
TyIer's motives Of action are as pure and lofty as
VIC nre DESTROYS OF believing them 10 be, he will
pursue the line Of conduct appropriate TO the posi-.
will both render an Invaluable service his coun-
try, and earn for himself u high historic name. II
other wise he will utterly fail IN whatever in.

The idea has gone abroad-we know not whether
propsgaled IT, the wish was father to the thought
that general sweep Of the Offices in the gft OF The
government is contemplated. We have seen OF late
numerous very edifyins demonstrations OF enthusi,
asm toward the potent hand that holds this eor,u-
cspis of pub,c patronage, which seems Just about
20 IL over to pour its rich fruits into the expeetnnt
mouths below. Whether. in greater or less mum
Der of instances, there is more or less of relation
between these two things, as cause and effect, no
one can do than privstely surmisr. But at any
rate would warn mr Tyler against mistaking
these hungry shouts for the trump Of lame. We
trust that he will do such thing as he IS said TO
contemplate, and ns so many seem disntcrested.
ly DESTROYS that he should do. IL is bad enough
when we see Presidents Nth Parties, forced Ivy
the irresistible pressure of influence upon them,
carrying out this system OF poiitica. prescription
which treats the public offices the lawful "spols'
Of scr; of bloc dess civil war. For heavens sake
let no, have 10 witness tho same spectacle sra
tuitously volunteered for the purpose Of making
Barty. we trust that MIR lylcr VIII ouhere 10 inc
rule OF his own circular addressed 10 tie holders Of
office on his FIRST induction into his own. So long
rs they obsain from an improper kind or degree OF
interference in elections the simple reason that they
may prefer TO adhere 10 their party, instead oil &c
companyng MIR Tyler in the secession from il into
which he has been forced, will constitute no jus,ih
cation for their removal. We refer, Of course, TO
those Offices whose duties are not OF n nature to
make IL material, for their etcieEt and satisfactory
performance, whether the politics Of the incgm6ents
are or are not in accordance with those OF the Exc
outve head. An indecent violence OF language a
ganst the Administration on whose favor they are
dependent, might fairly indeed provoke some de-
gree OF personal dlspeasute, and the penalty oil re
moyal; but 1t is no, TO be presumed that any con-
siderable number can take particular pleasure in
thus quarrelling with their own bread and butter;
while the mere declaration OF their adhesion TO Mi
Cay, and consequent disapproval oil the course OF
Mr. Tyler ought not 10 come within the scope OF
this ground Tor removal. No-let them stay; and
while the signs are yet scarcely out Of our ears, OF
so many hundreds, not 10 say thousands, OF iam
lies cas-. off upon deslituton by the last turn OF the
political wheel; let Us not have another repetition
OF the same process oil wholesale decaplIaiiOn upon
another SET for the mere reason that their husbands,
brothers, or sons, entertain such and such opinions
on the party topics and men OF the day. IL this
threatened sweep with the broad bosom OF the Exc
cutive dspleasure OF which we have hoard SO much,
isreay 10 be carried into effect, Mr. Tyler will mud
that, without adding any real effective strength 10
MS government, nc VIII nave efcAlly impaired the
moral dignity with which his present peculiar po-
s;tion may he surrounded The public will then
believe the charge urged against him by his foes,
that 1t is a selfish personal ambition which has &C
tuated his recent course, prompting him 10 seek 10
make party for himself by means OF the machI
merry Of the Federal patronage, or TO reeommtnd
himself to the Democratic Party by reopenns II
TO them. Now, the positive injury that would re-
sult from this course 10 what may be termed the
party morals OF the country, together with the loss
OF the beneficial effec; that might be produced upon
them by different course, would be such that,
even though such course of argument may
seem 10 be in hostility TO the interests Of our own
political friends, we would most earnestly depre
cate II, and caution Mr. Tyler against ITS adop-
ton. lie. him 60 on and be true TO cur prin- |
c'pes because our principles are those Of his own
political parentase and breeding though for many
