Sir, | need no proof other than that already fur
n>hed.tO Sati,iy my mind that the true cause OF
this veto to be found IN the desire Of John yler
far reelection. Soon after the commencement Of
me Extra Session, the Wing Members Of TINS
House were approached upon the SUBJECT Of the
succession, and almost every mau-al with The
exception of four ive-dd not hesitate when
interros saod, TO express their attachment for Mr.
Gas, and their determination to sustain him fof
the Presidency This enough. Jonn Iy,cr,
wc.. pleased with hi, new and distinguished po,i-
ton. dccifenfaiy acquired, determined, in obedi-
eacc to the impulse. of an nsstiatc ambition, or
th- unwisc cDuuscls Of more unrisc friends, 10 be-
come "A candidate for reelection. But Mr.. Clay
was the fayoIitc Of the party, and the popularity
OF Mr.. Clay must be destroyed unless tAi, could
be- done. the chances were unfavorsbc TO John
Tv.cr's SUCCESS. Then, sir, in thi. House com
m-ncci the crusade against the great Wcsicru
Statesman by the peculiar friend. of t.- Exccu-
tive, and daily Ne were entertained with Ioso-
mputadc about the onc-nan power, dictator,
biokcudOwn politician, and all the choice epi-
thcts which on ycrnscular could supply, The OBJ

Nhis parly would under no crcum.,anccs sustain
Mr. Clay, it was hoped that the other portion CON
.aiiing the doctrine Of availability, would iu view
1 the doubtful chances Of success, surrender their
nredilec,i,n, for him. and concentrate their sup
rs-t upon John Tyler. Vain hope, The Whiss
were cnmitted 10 the oHc-tsTm principle. No
matter how on by what agency the Pre-. ident at
uiucd mis- elevation, thc principle equally ap-
plclbc 70 him, and to that principle he had sub
scuocd. The object Of this principle is - pre-
vent the use of Government patronage 10 secure a
reelection, aud The suiTagcs OF the people would
no, have made him Nore omnipotent for harm
llt,a he /, rendered by accident. \ pledge by The
Wings in Congress 90 sustain john Iylcr for re-
election would haze been an Abandonment Of the
Wing doctrine oC 1910 When every effort to
I4in t,c popularity OF Mr.. Clay had failed, the de-
-igu IT the President raise up a third party wa,
revealed in almost every act OF ms administration.
He vas the President OF the Nation, and not tine
President of Party Such WAS the .auguuge
put forth b, hi, friends here as well a. 5y the
newspaper presses which he bought into his ser
vice b, the patronage Of IN, Office. But by such
declarations n0 man was deceived Ills real OBJ
cct was tou apparent This attempt to Organize
a third party was unsuccessful as was his alta X
upon MI Clay. IRE idea of reelection could
NOT be abnndCned ana Yet. without friends, the
PROSPECT Of reelection was hopeless. those friends
must bc SOUGHT for in the ranks of the Opposition.
Then new scheme Vt policy was deyised--s
new plan of attack conceived. The Whigs were
then, now, in majority IN both branches of
Congress, aId the responsibility of rescuing the
country from the misery and oppression beneath
which it wa, bowed rested upon them. This
sPonsibiiity Ne cheeriully assumed, aud proccedsd
IN the labor Of "a natisns redcmptiou but at every
step were tuwaited by the Executive Now, by
tle Executive command, commenced tie attack
upon Congress. The influence of those members
who ',ubborny refused to pledge their support To
John rylcr must be rendered powcrless, that 1t
sht not be cxcrtcd against him for the benefit
oi that man whom he aSPired to call a rival.
From what source did these bitter dcnunclstou.

Then soon followed all the little penny sheets that
had been puitd into importance by Executive ia
vor, and were uteuiEg upon the sial OF the public
Treasury. which, like many hall-starved ours,
took ue the howl OF the mastih here and echoed
1t back again. From one extremity of tho Union
20 the other. the hat went forth that We must be
as,ailed and during all TIN. ,me the friends OF
the Administration upon tins floor cOOllv iodca
their arms and looked or No one effort did they
make 10 reec the foul Injustice, and not one voice
was raised except 10 incite these hirclinSs 10 rc-
ncwed assaults. Bat this Is not all. " II the
unmitigaicd llbcs Of a .currilous pensloucd press
were too feeble and inefficient to CRAFTY lie VIM
d.ctiyencs. OF the President lac dofs his malcs-
