Amidst the reyllings of the disappointed faction,
who had hoped 10 make President Tyler the tool of
| their avarce aud ambition, his friends have
soled themselves with the reflection that poslerily
would do him justice. Ii is manifest, however
that the award will not be postponed another gene
ration The People, the great of the Denocra-
| cy everywhere voluntarily coming forward aud
publicly expressing their admiration of the courage
and rmness with which he has, single handed fought
the good fight ganst the dictalors of Federalism In
this city, particularly, these spontaneous demonstra
tons of public appreciation have been marked and en-
| phac and ON occasion much in relation
| TO the late veto OF course the Federal potion of
the Wing party, here elsewhere, stood prepared to
assai the document and its author with every species
of filthy invective, while their mercenary pressgang
nprecaed, in advance, their upon the head of
the Executive Of the nation In the midst Of this
tempest of denunclaon the veto made its appearance
Unansw cradle in argument respectful, yet calm and
| gnfed in tone IL seemed calculated TO dis
arm faction of It's maligny and to win the approval
| of all thinking These very qualities only serv-
ed however, to stimulate the hatred Of the Federal
leaders. They felt, in their Utmost souls that its sim
pie truths could neither be controverted perverted
they adopted the alternative of replying to the Ian
guage OF patriot and gentleman in the phraseolo
Ky of bingsgate am not surprised at their vndic-
tveness, for truly the document has made sad havoc
in the Wing ranks-4t least such has been the
here. The moderate, or Republican members of that
party very generally approve it, and it is uncom-
mon thing to hear two Wings disputing the
rs of the veto with much heat if they belonge
to opposite political parties Ii the President contn
to pursue his present patriotic and dgnifed course,
there will be hardly forces enough in the Wing
camp to shoot the deserters" None but the MERGE
naries and camp followers will be left to defend the
entertainments In good soolh, the Wing party pto-
per- is dssolving like in the South wind. Wit
ness the enormous Democratic majortes heaving up
like mountains in the political horizon of the West

raj faction may hope or believe, have too much con-
idence in the sagacy of its great head and leader,
Henry Clay, to doub tina, he reads Alright these por-
tcntous omens.
There was very Urge meeting in the Park last
evening for the purpose of reerating the expression
of the popular feeling on the subject of the Veto
The Democracy eagerly avail themselves of every
opportunity of giving their sanction to this last great
act of John Tyler. was present during the whole
of the proceedings and have witnessed greater
enthusiasm more unanimity in any public assem-
blage. Col. Arnold and others addressed the meet
| ing, and have seldom heard sound, wholesome,
practical Democratic truths more eoquentIy enforced.
The Democratic standard was fairly applied to the
recent public acts of the President, and gloriously
and triumphantly they stood the tes'. Col. Arnold
commented with bitter sarcasm on the charge made
by the Federal Whig., that Mr.. Tyler had proved
to the principles of the party that elected him
The Colonel asserted and proved first, that the Wing
party carefully abstained from ths promulg CATION
of any principles and the avowa Of any policy pend

secondly that if they had done 50, they never
took the trouble inquire whether the views of their
candidate for the Vice Presidency orthodox
He was free AMI untrammeed and coming unexpect-
