made to give him a nomination there, by the way OF a
start but in vain All that could be done was this

jority, and probably 10000. He never has had
strength in the STATE, and lie never can havcit.

They made lust such noise before the nomination OF
tTippecanoe and Tyler too" They are invncible
in that kind of victory. They have not though
what is very ess,ry the day Of election, the
potes, and the course they take will never get them
They attempt to overawe and dragon the State
They made the ike attempt prior to the Harrisburg
Convention and will again meet with like success.
This violent spasmodc attempt of the friends OF Mr.
Clay te create or to dictate pubic opinion will fail

quent meetings OF the Cabinet, Of late, and the
daily conversations which We understand to
take place between the negolators, we presume
the parties are not idle. In the mean tme we
see, with great pleasure the manifestation of a

already recommended to Congress by the Presi-
dent, which shall make suitable Constitutional
provisions for such cases as that of Mcleod. If
we are to have war-upon the probability Of
which we express no opinion, and have no

matter Of real national interest. Let not the

COMPARISON.

The following is from the Ohio Statesman.
All will at once see the difference between
the Democratic and Wing sheets when speak
ing Of the President.
To be more explicit, Mr.. Tyler has saved the coun-
try from money ed despotism. In the Veto of the
first bank BILL he was the instrument of higher
power, IN arresting measure, which, if confirmed
INTO a law would have fastened upon the people, a
federal dynasty of money brokers, more prcjudcial
to their interests, than the late bank with all its
corruptons. In the Veto of the second BILL the
country was saved from system of kite flying ex-
changes, that would have thrown the whole paper
circulation of the Union into the hands of shavers,
however reputable for honest management the banks
might stand. In the case, and in the other, he
has only acquitted himself Of his duty to the Constltu.
ton His sense of fidelity has been his reward, and
the support of the democratic press against the mer-
CHESS assaults OF the manifesto party In his vetoes
Mr. Tylers name will go down with history,in uxta
| position with that of our glorious Old Hickory.

CONGR ESS..

On Tuesday, very soon after the reading of
the journal, the House resolved itself into Com
mttee Of the Whole and took up the Appor-
tionment bill. Mr. Cooper of Georgia, con
cluded his speech in favor of the ratio he had
proposed.
The merits Of the various Representatives
were discussed by Messrs White, of Indiana,
Everett, Bidlack, Fillmore, Caruthers Cooper,
of Pennsy lvania, Pope, Of Kentucky, &c.
The points at issue were the comparative ex-
pedency Of large or a small representative
body, and the arrangement of the subsidiary
fractions arising under each proposed ratio.
The question was then taken on the amend
ment proposed by Mr.. Briggs to the amendment
submitted BY Mr. Atherton. This was to sub
stiiue So l79 for the number proposed by the
latter gentleman. This was agreed TO by vote
of so to r. and the amendment as amended
was agreed to-ayes 80, noes SO. So the bill
as it now stands fixes the ratio at 80, l79, which
will give House of 306 members.
Mr. Halstead then proposed an amendment
by direction OF the Committee on Elections
providing that representatives to Congress shall
be elected in each State by districts. This wa.
advocated BY Messrs. Halstead and John Camp
BELL aud opposed by Messrs. Underwood, Col
quit and Gamble; but before taking any ques
ton the Hous sc adjourned.

THE PHILADELPHIA GAZETTE.

We have never seen this paper--it was not
on our exchange list when we purchased this
establishment. We shall ask an exchange, in
asmuch as we perceive, by Mobile paper, that
is continually pouring out its scurrility at our
heels. Had we known it, we should have kick
ed it over long ago.
The Philadelphia Sentinel has intimated that
the Gazette is owned by the proprietor or pro-
prietors of the North American, and that while
the latter processes to advocate the measures OF
the Administration, the former is vilifyng the
Executive. OF all this we know nothing But
from the article in the Mobile paper we are
forced TO believe that the editor has ready &C
cess 10 some office where the Madisonian is re-
ceiyed. The article alluded to commences thus ::
The Madisonian of yesterday contains about
three columns ofcaumny, &c" OF the obga-
ton to send US the sheets containing such as
saults, the public must judge.
We do not endorse or reilerate the charge of
the peculiar connexion Of the two papers,
We know nothing about it. We can only hope
our esteemed contemporary of the Sentinel is
mistaken. But we desire to look all that assaI
US full in the face

From the (N. ~ Express

The REJECTION OF Mr.. TYSON AS ComMIssARY
GENERAL-We must join with our Washington Cor
respondent in expressing great surprise at the reec
ton by the Senate Of Mr.. Tyson's nomination The
vote stood for confirmation, eleven-against IT TWEEN
tynne. Seven Wings, Messrs. Evans, Bates, Choate,
lallmadge, Sprague, Preston Riyes, and four Loco
Focos, Alessrs. Calhoun, McRoberts, Cuthbert,
Walker, voted for him. The remainder, with the
ception Of nine who were absent, went against HIM
The Senate, having previously confirmed MIR. Tyson
for another important Office. unanimously and there
being no allegation that he has not faithfully dis
charged the duties of Commssary General, 1t fol-
lows that this rejection both on the part OF the ex-
IRENE Wings, and the extreme Loco Focos, IS purely
Jdctious
Oh the wrong, absurdity, and impocy of such
course this the part OF majority OF the Senate
there can but be opinion among all tair-minded
and impartial men. The reason given Isl that Mr..
Tyson as Tyler man!
If this be good reason, equally cogent is the reason
that the President should nominate only Tyler men !;
and thus the U. s. Senate makes emphatic appeal
to the head as well the heart Of the Executive to
convert the patronage of the Government INTO per-
sonal qualification Honorable Senators in calmer
moments will deeply regret such action and such
appeals as these. II hereafter the Executive should
take them at their word their mouth, il they have
done right, is shut as to complaint

somewhat of 6vrceness against England. Hay-
ing determined to say nothing pro or con on
the subject ourselves while the negotiation is

he has a perfect right to do. The following in
genuous sentence in the letter induced US to in

BEAUTIFUL CONSISTENCY.

The Courier, in warm euogjum of Mr.. Clay,
enumerates among his many virtues "a beautiful
consistency and straight forward advocacy of right,
such as no other public man can boast" To the
high praise-we might almost say the devout homage
which that paper bcstows upon its political idol we
make no objections But its commentator of "a
beautiful consistency is certainly worthy of notice
it ndicatesa striking change Of opinion the part
of the Courier to the excellence OF this virtue
public man.
It's but IA short time since that paper was pouring
out the hotties, Walls Of its wrath upon the devoted
head of the Chief Magistrate of the nation And
why? Sunty because he had been consistent be-
cause he had firmly refused TO sanction measure
which from his first entrance into public life he had
steadily and earnestly opposed That measure
United States Bank Ii was Mr.. Tyers vctoes OF
the bills establishing such corporation which brought
down upon him denuncations tiom the Courier so
severe bitter and conlemptuous that it panied
all good Americans to hear them, no matter to what
party they belonged They regarded il as casting in
suit and shonoI upon their country thus to abuse lis
highest functlonary.
Now then, let us compare the beautiful conss-
tency"-thc straightforward advocacy of rght"e 1
hill tied by MI. Ty Ter and Mr.. Clay, upon this very
subject OF United States Bank As we have said
Mr. Tyler has always and on all proper occasions OPP
posed such an institution, on the ground that it was
not authorized by the Constitution and could not be
established without violation of that sacred nstru-
men, which in all public stations he was bound by a
solemn oatn 10 ne people Noleu lpr MN
with perfect knowledge of his opinions upon this
question They knew when they gave him then
suffra yes that if lie honest Conscientious con
ssten as they believed him TO be, he must and woult
oppose to the full extent of his power, the establish
| ment of such an institution. He did so with hi
eye fixed uTon the Constitution of his country; will
his hand resting upon the Billie with his oath on hi
| lips; and Nrh honest motives in his heart, he coulc
| no, have done otherwise. He exhibited these try
| ing occasions not only beautiful but t aries
| "consistency."
Look now upon the other picture. Mr.. Clay, it i
well known ig all the world, once stood upon the sam
ground with Mr.. Tyler in strong and gigantic oppo
ston to a United States Bank. Which Of them ha
changedl Nj. Clay is brilliant staiesrnan--a re
nowned oraorb but among all the great productions
his towering intellect and sparkling genius noihin
will be found su passing his famous speech against
U nited States Bank, in 1911. 1t is very commo
and very just remark that he has never since bee
able to answer IT, The positions which he then MAR
tanned were based upon truth, supported by the Cor
stitution, and fortified by powerful and conclusive a
guments. To the present hour they stand unshake
