dcae. The leaders OF the Wing party have spent
their fury against him The great body Of the
Wing party have been kept, criminaliy kept, 10
ignorance of the purity of MIR. Tyler's motives,
by their leaders. More than year elapsed,
while the President was daily assaIed fer Iui-
puted ambitious motives, before any member OF
The scattered Cabinet declared his knowledge
Of the fact thai The President, when be conceiy
ed il 10 lie his duty to veto the Bank bill, pro-
posed, at the time, 10 publish solemn declara-
ion of his inteniion TO retire at the end Of his
iagmentary term. purposely-ay, for the lofty
purpose-to avoid all impulations OF unworthy
aud selfish motives. This was as noble in the
President as it was igDoble in the reIired Cab.
net TO conceal, 10 suppress such an important
such an esssniial fact, between one and two
years. And, worse still, when Mr.. Ewing DIS
gorged the fact, IL was produced by comPuE
sion not voluntarily This must speedily con
vince all honest Wings that they have been I'M
posed on and shamefuly betrayed by The retired
Cabinet--and led TO denounce, for nearly twJ
years, an innocent man as 'lrsitor" This
perfdy on the part of The Wing leaders will in
the end c0nsign them 10 destruction.
| As regards the duty OF the Republican party
10 Mr.. Tyler, there is no, so much diversity Of
opinion among The People as there is among
the leading politicians. ] have taken some
pains 10 inform myself on this point. The
Presidents Veto and annual Messages have all
been read by the uhole People OF the United
States-and read the more carefully because
there we're so few journals enlisted in his de
fence. There i, principle of justice in the
bosom Of every man, which impels him to lend
an attentive ear 10 what is said by an individual
in his own defence, when he is universally as
sailed. II justice appears on bis side, every
honest man instantly becomes his advocate
So in the end, Mr.. Tyler viii have no cause to
defend him during The frs, two years of his Ad-
min,tralion. He will have friends enough be

from conviction that he has been most unjust

Mr.. Tyier-pervades the Democratic party
We were PROSTATE and powerless, when he
came TO our aid. He has placed US in the as
cendancy, and 10 suppose that we will desert
him, not to say assail him, is 10 suppose an i'm
possibility. True, some Of our men and
presses are swapping at the hand that rescued
hem from political death but will pied e my
honor that The great body OF the party
will never sanction their conduct. This you
must have observed. While you have been

gentry who have deemed il good policy TO at.
Jack their benefactor, what, ask has been the
course pursued by the Democratic party
| Have you been assailed by any one for cannon
aiding "the Globe and Mr.. BenIon7' Not the
first press, that | am aware Of, has said one
word in their behalf. / doubt not the best wishes
| Of the party are for your success. This fac
should afford very significant hint TO s'the
Globe and Mr.. Benton" Those they assume
TO command, absolutely refuse to come to their
rescue when they are in danger of being de-
molished.
Hence, trust, that Pre- ,ident L Ter will proper
" estimate the assaults of ''the Globe and Mr.
Benton" They are dictated by the selfish in
,erests Of t,rO men. The Democratic party
neither approves, nor will it be responsible for
their acts. venture to say that Mr. VAN BIT.
rem depreca,es their imprudent conduct. AL
though Mr.. Benton has seen fit TO declare on
several occasions, that he was in favor of Mr..
Van Buren, for the Presidency, and as often
evinced his hostility to another member of the
Republican party, can assure you that such
declarations have been the means of detach-
! ing thousands from the former to the latter
| Hence argue that Mr.. Van Buren, himself
must deprecate the course Of Mr.. Benton-and
of the Globe-for they are one and the same,
as you have more than once asserted And the
course of ''the Globe and Mr. Benton" will,
| predict, soon detach them from Mr. Van Bu-
ren-then they will join Mr.. Clay
The Republican, party cannot carry the
next Presidential election without Mr. Tyler's
| aid That is certain. II is also certain that
the ultras Of the Democratic party will go over
10 the enemy rather than support Mr.. Tyler, af-
Ter abusing him so outrageously. The question
thcn arises whether it will not be better to let
g the Globe and Mr.. Benton" go over to the
| enemy, and supply their places with the " orgi-
gnal Jackson men," who voted for Harrison and
Tyler in 1910, and who voted with us and gave
US the victory last fall? | am quite sure that
the strength we will lose by the desertion of
=" the Globe and Mr.. Benton" will be compen ,a-
ed hundred fold by that which Mr. Tyler will
)fing us.
AS to principles and measures President Ty-
er is quite as likely to suit majority Of the
People as any other man. Mr. Van Buren, can
not again carry the South. A Southern man
cannot, for several years to come, carry the
North. Mr.. Tyler may carry both the South
and the North. Besides, Mr.. Tyler will carry
the few hundred thousand Wings with him.
