The editor OF the United States Gazette thinks
lha by publishing the speech OF President Tyler de-
livered in the Senate during the discussion on the
moyaI Of the deposites under Gen Jackson's admi-
nstraton he clearly conycts him of gross inconsls-
tency If his application Of President Tyler's ne
marks be correct then the Wings, should they ever
elect candidate TO the Presidency, could never ex-
pect to obtain any office under him. To remove an
officer for politics according 10 the Wing theory Is
altogether wrong The editor of the u. ;. Ga
commends all that he quotes from Mr. Tylers speech
and says that he became imbued with those noble
sentiments from his associatng with MIR Clay.
Are to understand, that there are to be no re-
moyals for political opinions If DIR Clay should be
elected. We hardly think, the Wings will attempt
preach that doctrine now, and if they should they
certainly would never live up TO It, Indeed no such
opinion entered into the head Of any man in the
nation. According to the editor of the IT, S. Gazette
all that Mr.. Tyler has said and quoted in the Gazette
is endorsed by Mr. Clay and this upon the construc-
ton of the debate by the editor OF The Gazette would
prevent President from removing officer on ac-
count Of his politics. What proves the utter falacy
Of the views of the editor of the u $. Gazette on
the subject Of this debate is, the universal opinion Of
the Wing party the installation of General iarr-
son. They went in droyes to Washington to get the
loaves and fishes, and during his brief term hume
rous removals were made for clamorous Wings
And of the most unpleasant events that crossed
the path Of MIR. Clay, Immediately after the Wing
appointments commenced, grew out Of his having
asci,ttu ouc WING plSiSithto w aho'htis W get
the place of Mr. Key, the District Attorney at Wash
ngton.
Let the editor Of the U. S Gazette and his friends
say the most and they say moIe, than that Mr.
Roberts was removed because Mr.. Tyler did not
wish to keep him any longer in the office of Coec-
tor of the Port Of Philadelphia and that was pre-
cisely the case with General Harrison when he ap
pointed Governor Lincoln of Worcester to be Coz
ector of Boston, in place of George Bancroft The
General did not wish TO keep Mr. Bancroft in as his
Collector. Sit and shift this matter as YOU please
and il comes back to this simple point that the Pre-
sident thought proper to make the change, and who
has the right TO question it: All parties recognize
the doctrine of removals by acting up to it. when
they in power, and it is waste of time to dis
cuss the proprety of matter that all Presidents
have put in practice during their administrations
President Jefferson, in of his letters, complains
of the conduct of Mr. Adams because he put men
into Office, after he had lost his election, on the
ground that he President Jefferson should have per
sons around him who were friendly, TO carry on his
administration.
But to this the editor of the u. S Gazette says
ay but Mr.. Tyler has avowed that he was gov
erned by other principles" To this answer that
the editor is mistaken; or if he does other
principles the editor of the u S. Gazette makes Mr.
Clay endorse them and if so, Mr.. Clay would not bc
allowed, if he should ever be elected to remove a
man for opinion's sake Does the editor of the Ga
zette suppose the Wings would stand by such
strction if Mr.. Clay should be elected the editor
is trying to put upon Mr. Tyler's remarks IN the
Senate. Never Never!
