PARTY SPIRIT REBUKED.

PARTY SPIRIT REBUkED.
PRESIDENT TYLER has accomplished one gfen
thing which no other President, since the oay'
of Monroe. has been able TO accomplish. W.
allude TO the auelng of the violent PARTY SriRI'
which for SO many years has distracted u''
country.
Notwithstanding all the efforts of the Globe
Clioge on the one hand, and Mr.. Clay and
his desperate parllsans on the other, TO 10
ment the elements Of discoTd aud strife, we car
very distinctly see that are to be blessed with
comparatively speaking, political calm. Tor a
least several years TO come.
The majority OF The twenty-sevenh Congress
now happily dispersed, was composed OF the
frebrands of party, kndled IN 1910, land blazing
on long after the fame at which they were ig
mated had gone out. The acts OF the extra ses-
sion made the People disIrust their representa-
lives. The second session reused their indig-
nation at the factious war the President
and the closing scenes Of the last session turned
their Indignation into disgust.
The Wing majority in Congress, after legis-
laling three sessions to extermnae President
and build up another; after laboring assiduous-
ly for the advancement Of solitary ambitious
and INSCRIPTIONS politician; and after neglect
ing for TWO long years, while in power, the IN
terests of the People, which might have been
advanced and secured at any time, during one
short month-ifihey had only consented TO aban-
don their Presdent-making operations even for
thirty days-we say after SO much labor for the
man, and so much neglect Of the many, THEY
HAVE SUCCEEDED IN BREAKING UP THE Wine
PARTY.
If the party had been twice as strong as it was
10 lS4l and its immense majority in Congress
had, during three sessions, accomplished nothing
for the good Of the country, attempted nothing
but the prosecution of prohigate war agains, a
Republican Chief Magistrate, who was selected
because he was opposed 10 Bank, high protec-
tive Tariff, and Internal Improvements BY the
have been int vilable.
The Wing party proper is now disbanded
and mere faction only, the Clay politicians,
maintain anything like an organization.
The course of The President has in a great
measure effected The demolition of party lines
The only great party now known in The country
is the Republican party. Anti Bank, and anti
protective tariff Wings of 1910, are mingng
with the Democrats A few Of the ultra politi-
cal leaders of the old Democratic party-hos,
who were once for Mr.. Clay aud his American
System, and who are indebted to some grea

and his clique-have factiou,ly Sc, up for Them
selves, as Mr. Clay ard his infatuated advocate.
have done. But the great body Of the PEoPLE
are Democratic Republicans. No longer de-
ceved by the exploded theories of Bank ora
tors, nothing remains 10 keep them asunder
Wings who have seen their error. are now il
the ranks Of the Republicans and, instead Of
mea,u ring swords against each other, they are
voting on the same side at the polls. They are
emphaticay ONE People.
All moderate, prudent, honest and patriotic
citizens in the country, now belong TO one and
the same party--and that is the REPUBLICAN
PARTY. And that this party comprises a vast
majority of the People, the elections everywhere
furnish irreiragable proof. The parry is reform
ed, renewed, regeneraled-and we trust that
Sentidtious WIN pass oeioie CoiIuptiou again
gnaws upon its vitas. Henceforlh il will not be
governed by the managing politicians. 1t will
manage lis own affairs.
In vain the efforts Of ultra partisans hereafter
TO inviege the great Republican party Many a
year will elapse before the People will consent
to be plunged in to another al-pervading convul-
sive excitement for The benefit Of politicians.
None will be elected TO Office, high or low, but
men who pledged TO labor for the country ;
men in whom the People can con6de
Another set, almost another race of men, will
compose the next Congress. They will be
mostly Republicans, and all fresh from the Peo-
pie. Nor will those from hitherto strong Wing
District, be Mr.. Cldy's men in their Legislative
capacity. And the Globe aud its clique are
very much mistaken if they suppose the new
Democratic members will submit 10 their dicta-
ton. OF the fifty already elected, there are not
more than three ultra men among them. We
knop this 10 be the fact.
Alter the meeting Of the next Congress, the
People may expect the right sort of legislation
and they will not expect it in vain The Gov
eminent will go on tremendously and prosper
ous'y. There will be no violent parfy c, nh cts
for years to come. And Tor all these things,
we think II is not going too Ear to say, III e coun-
Try will be indebted 10 an cd school Republican
p esideni.
