TIE TRIUMPH OF PRESIDENT TYLER

President Tyler has trIumphed the faction
that reared in Congress to destroy him; and by
| assuming and preserving firm and undaunted posi-
ton, acting for the good of his country has put &c
| route the unprncipled Vaccinations of his enemies
As it is alleged by the Wings and Democrats that
the President has party to sustain hm, suppose
may say something IN relation to him, without be-
ing deemed guilty OF political mlsdemeanoI.
| do not know that ever knew read of a man in
the W hole course OF life, whose condition more
enyable than that of President Tyler He was anx-
ious revise the tariff laws, and re-enact them but
he was told by the majority, IN Congress, "lf you do
not suffer Us 10 incorporate scheme for distr Duing
! tue proceeds of the sales OF the public lands In the
new tariff 1t shall never pa $ ; We will thus deprive
you of all resource, and prevent your administering
the Government. his was no idle threat, they SAID.
| They IN sober serousn ess-very earnest and
| the party, with one accors sworc--and our army
swore terribly in FIanders-tha if John Tyler did
peto the tariff bill, with the. distribution clause il,
he would be guilty of treason-lhat they would not
submit to and further, they swore, that II he did
not sign the bill the merchants and importers of the
United States could not b called On to pay du les
imports. And one of the fle-ead,r rs, Mr. Barnard
| from Albany-who by the way is very great dem
aaogue very great hunting, and very great mule S
papa as a p,ltician-alded by Le,eett Saltonslail;
reporicd-ay, repnrlcd only think of that, my mas
ters-,hat unless John Tyler signed The tanf bill dis
uibutlon and ALL the nation would be annlhIated
and Parsun Milers predictions of the final dssolu-
! ton Of all things would forthwith take place.
Every artlfce, every menace, was resored to, to
frghten Mr. Tyler from his path OF duty, bat it was
OF no avail He knew his duty and he tearlessly per
formed it, He was not to be lntimldaed-he possess
ed all the nerve essential to the crisis and as he
could not be guilty of the folly signing bill to dis
tribute money among the States, when there was no
money to distribute, and when 1t was impossible for
the Government 10 raise the means necessary to It's
own exlgencies, he vetoed the " hig tariff BILL and
stood ready, like bold, and brave and patriotic
| una n to meet the consequences OF the act
As soon as the Veto Message was Illuminated, and
| the President told Cong they were at liberty To
carry the Tariff and Distribution bill into effect, if
they could muster constitutional majority OF two
thirds of the votes of The two Houses, the war-cry
raised against him. and theswhole pack were bent
on his destruction.
A most holy horror realised on the pant of the
Wings, at what they were pleased to call the zone
man power )" and they swore most fervently that if
the tariff bill distribution and ALL were not ultimately
signed they would break up the Congress IN row,
90 home and al peal to the people for their decision on
the question of the poprey or improperly policy OF
mpoicy of their conduct They would have the
distributions or they would have nothing. And TO
add TO the soemnity Of the tragedy, or TO the ludlc
rousness of the farce they got Old Mr. John Quincy
Adam, to make furious report the Presidents
Veto in which MI Tyler was most ravagey beslav-
cred and beabored, and held up to the world in the
gulse of a traitor to God and his country.
All this did not unnerve the President He was
~ to his God and his country, were at stake and he
was not to be buied and dragooned into the adoption
of measure which he was sure was pregnant with
damnation to his country
In one word, President Tyler knew his duty, and
his rights and prerogalives and resolved that they
aboulj he maintained The Constitution of his
try was his guide and his polar star, and he was de-
termiued To abide It's dic,ato
AT last. that naughty and arrogant "maj ority"

surd acts were to bc carried out, and II yielded 10
the superior wisdom, patriotsm and irmness OF the
President.
AS soon as they found that a new Tariff bill must
be passed-lhat 1t would not do tor them 10 carry out
their schemes OF intamy-one OF them, Mr. Thomas
T. McKeon reported Just such bill as the President
sand would do, and would receive his signaure-just
such a bill as he never had objected 10.
The party bent the destruction of the President

claimed it as their own measure when they knew
that i, was the Presidents
