The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1842-11-29

Tyler, in his treachery TO the Wings and the great
measures orrcIier which The Wings promised & design
ID to curry out, took with him good portion Of the
officers who had received appointments at his hands,
and also secured the favor and active co operation of
the thousands who had held over and who had been
Tho patiizats Of Jackson and Van Buren,. Fla,tered
hy leading loc0s to the exercise of the power for
the defeat oC most Of the Wing measures proposed TO
scatter the thick clord Of gloom which yacksonsm
aud Van HureniSm had spread over the land Tyler
forthwith set about training his officials act in con-
cert with ale Iocolocos. Opposition to Wing Reform
became the stern condition by which only they could
retain Office, and in most instances where the homes,
appointed Office by the pure hearted IIarri-
son refused to barter away his conscience and his
country for official patronage, he was removed to give
place t. eroveng sy cophaut fresh from the ranks
of ocof coism, or some corrupt Wing who had joined
the party for the sake Of spoil. These men now
struck up tho Tyler song which harmonized per
fectly with the rallying songs of locofocosrn; and
John Tyler INDUCED bright, but delusive hopes Of
election by hi g cen recruits and the common en-.
envy of The Wings and the coun,ry's prosperity.
Thus, hard in hand, Tyler and the o"ofocos went
into the fall elections. The results generally are ad-
the Wings; made more so, in the free states
by the side handed corporation of the Sd party abo
tonists Flushed by the success secured by these
auxiares the Washington Globe now warns the Py-
erites TO stand Off and in fact says to them we've
used you TO prevent the Wings fom giving relief to
the country, and in defeating them the polls now
your services are not particularly needed by us,
like your treason, bat you can't have the Offices
The scene that now, opens is any thing but Of
harmony and peace, Tyler, Van Buren,, johnson and
Calhoun, each bent upon being the next Pres
iden by the will Of the ocooco party; and thus wc
in this party the elements of its own destruction
All combined, they in the recent elections,
they polled vote about 200 less than did the
Wings in 1870 Defeated now, as they were in '3S
and 80, and this defeat improved as was their de-
feat then, nothing else but similar triumph awaits
the Wings; and sted has been the party of trail
tors, we can then safely hope for permanent and
al good. Give US but the vigorous and hgh-minded
SCorr our common champion, and the issue we
cannot doubt We are not satisfied with one short
month Of Wing Administration. For, had it continu-
ed to this day, our land, verify believe, would
now have entered upon of prosperity and
peace, such as we have not experienced since the
administration Of the younger Adams. The leading
ocos feared this and hence their efforts to seduce
Tyler from cooperating with the Wings in maturing
measures which had, first of ALL this object in view
The restoration the countys prosperity by adopt
ing those measures which rendered us prosper
Gus, would have satisfied the people that the Wing
policy was right they would thereafter receive it as
the best and safest, and reject the foreign policy of
the ocofocoa, and consequence, those who pro-
posed it, The leading Iocoloco demagogues had the
sagacity to this, and it became to them the first
and paramount object to defeat the adoption of those
measures They approached Tyler and found him
weak enough to their purpose, and tho coun-
try is still suffering the fruits of twelve years reign of
locofocoism, and continued, with but slight variations
by Tyler, counseled directed by the same men who
first started US on our downward course. The Tar
if, the only measure the Wings able to carry,
checked, TO some extent, the downward progress of
things but that alone, weakened it is by threats of
repeal by the very whom the voters are told "a
bout election time the only friends Of protection
cannot restore full energy to the of industry,
long pasied by the whitening influences of the foreign
policy ofthe locofoco party. We want the old re-
publican and American policy established complete.
For this the Wings alone contend and it will ulti-
mately prevail, because people will not always be
