PRESIDENT TYLER AND THE WINGS.
The whole kennel Of Wing editors and csder
spouters throughout the country oui fall ess al
the heels of Presden, Tyler Among others, thu
Federal by authority" prn, OF ,his place Keeps ~
| a loud and inccssani barking.
Why this rude hostility whs load the CHEF
Magistrate of the nation with terms OF oppfobrium
too cruel for the ieon Why those uDussassfed and
I immeasurable demonstrations Why this uneontrol-
| liable and fend-like ferocity
Simply, THE HONESTY OF JOHN TYLER
His heart would not permit him hourly TO dreneh
| the guilotine in a bloody prescription he could
not and would not play the part OF Panderer
to hundred thousand oficeseekers and for this he
is, according To scrupslous Whiggery, TRAITOR, not
only to the country in general, but worst OF all, to
| the Wing party IN particular.
| Had President Tyler gone on as his predecessor
commenced by an indiscriminate and tornado-sweep
against all men found in Office, he too might have
been killed by imporfunes and been trundled TO al
untimely grave by sympathising pack OF Federal
much good sense to rush to such destiny when he
could avoid it-so he changed the game from tehsad-
ing to heading.
| This, however, is a departure from the point,
which, if said at ALL might better have been said by
| way of parenthesis. What we started out 10 say
was this Had President Tyler carried out the pro-
scrptive system in the recklessness Of spirit which
characterized it during the first thirty days and nights
| Of Federal rule he would not now be called a trail
tor. No, no had he kept the guillotine wreaking
and smoking with victims had he removed faithful
and competent public officers, and filled their places
with party hacks and all sorts Of political mounte-
banks, such dirty ballad singers and ragged and
| lousy lazdroni, who went to make up the crew oil
Whiggery; had he driven from Office the tried pa
triots and soldiers of the last war, and appointed in
their stead the soap-lock whpsers and cock-spar-
| rows of the Federal mushroom aristocracy; had he
done this he would not be upbraided with has eache
~ by the little vagabond 'starvngs of party, who,
unable TO impose his creduty or to wheedle him
out Of an appointment now suddenly turn round, and
partly through revenge and partly from hope of
future benefits join in war OF vulgar abuse and I'M
princpled persecution against him.
1t will be useless for these wing leaders to pretend
that MIR. Tyler has betrayed them in the matter Of
principles. 1t will be useless for them to pretend to
any principle, when have before us every evil
dence of their willingness to sell even their birth
right for three cents worth of pottage Give one
of them office worth three bits year, and he will
give you all his principles, to have and to hold them
forever, if you like.
1.-THE wings have principles what are they Where
are theyl When were they proclaimed} Certainly
not before the last election-ior it rule with
them and their candidates in those days not TO make
any declarations for the public eye"
We told by General Harrison and his friends
to look his former for his then present opinions
and that those opinions had undergone no
change
We were told the same thing of Mr.. Tyler. Both
these gentlemen had been distinguished for their hos
tility to u nted States Bank-and we were as
sured that their opinions had undergone change,
the public had right TO infer that they were both
still opposed to such institution. And we know
that many very many, thousands who voted for them
did deduce this inference and voted accordingly
In Virginia and North Carolina The question
turned principally upon the Bank and the TariG-and
it was published through whs papers and proclaimed
by whig orators from the stump, that General Harr-
son and Mr.. Tyler both opposed to a Bank
that Gen. Harrison was opposed to disturbing the
compromise tariff act, and that MIR. Tyler was OPP
posed 10 tariff in almost any shape but most esPec
ally to high protective tariff In fact, Mr. Iyier
was taken upn the Convention because it was
thought that his known opinions on these two leading
questions would unite upon him, more fully than up
on any other man, the whole Southern wing of the
whg party.
What principle then has he renowned? What
pledge or promise has he violated
He has vetoed two Bank bills, because his old opn-
ions of the Internationally of United States
Bank have undergone no change" he has vetoed
one tariff bills for the same reason And now
because he will not sacrifice his opinions to the inter-
ests of the money changers he is called traitor-and
because he will sacrifice his conscience to the cries
of the croakers his must be handed down TO
postety political Arnold who betrayed his coun-
try And last and worst of all, the federal "By Au-
thority print in this place. threatens to write his ep-
taph by sptiting his grape! A revenge so nobly
conceived will doubtless be boldly executed.
The TREASON is with the WING LEAD
Frs, and not with John Tyler. They entered into
a bold conspiracy deceipe the people into the sup
port Of their candida es whom they hoped when they
got them into power to mould to their designs
and then BETRAY THE PEOPLE by imposing
upon them the greatest of all the montrosiies of fede
ralism. There is where the treachery intended
to be, but thanks to the honesty of John Tyler the
traitors defeated the Constitution preserved and
the people saved
Whatever may be said or done by ambitious aspi-
rants disappointed expeclants vulgar song singers,
or little soap-locks, John Tyler has nothing to fear
from The opinions of the vi his counrymen or
the history of the past the present. or the future. All
generous, enlightened and honest minds, both now,
ard in time to come, will unite in admiration of that
virtue which resisted the Establishments of wealth and
attery and of that moral courage and honest hearted
patriotism which made him bold against party pTeju-
does for his country's good And where there may
be coward heart base enough to "spit upon his
grave" there will be found a thousand generous ones
ready to strew it with the laurel leaf
, THE TREATY AND THE GLOBE.

Democratic Senators, who voted for the ratiica-
