THE ABOLlTIONiSTS.
twas said Of some one that " he was the best
abused man in England" The same remark IS
certainly applicable to John Tyler in Americs
The ultra Wings abused him for no other reason
than that he would not commit perjury by viola
ting his oath of office for this they called him
orator." denounced him in their manifesto,
burnt him ia efigy, and declared separation
between the Wing party and the President-un-
dertakpg thus to speak for the Democratic por-
ton of the party, as well as for the National Re-
pubIicans and old Federalists and finally led
on by their great champion, sought to impeach
him, and thus destroy his reputation among men,
The ultra Democrats, led on by the Globe and
its kindred prints, have not fallen very far in the
rear of the ultra Wings. They have made eve
ry manner ofassault upon him; and claiming to
be the moulh-peces of MIR. Van Buren,, have
rivalled the contemplate Wing journals in their
scurrility and abuse. t,f
These miserable tools of faction only required
the aid ofthe Abolitionisis ia order to make their
combination l'erfect-and they have il to their
hearts content. Base and false as have been the
Inscriptions made TO the President by the two frs,
of the allies the third and hast have contrived
to excel in vulgarity and falsehood. TAey at.
tack him in his domestic relations charge
him l0iM haUing pioloted the most sacred obi
gqfions, and selling his ovn cAiIdres into
bondage Thi, has been proclaimed at aboli-
,ion meetings, put forth in abolition speeches in
this country and England, by these foul mou,hed
and infamous slanderers, and copied into some
of the Wing papers.
We feel ourselves called upon TO say, that a
more unbushing calumny was never coined or
published We make this declaration, that no
over-credulous good man may be induced to be-
leve the SANDER. The President married at
very early age. He was reared under the eye of
one of the most rigid and inHexibIe moralists Of
the age. For many years he served in the Viz
ginia Legislature, with the eyes of the people
of Richmond upon him. Can there be found
man in that VIGOROUSLY Wing city, to endorse
this monstrous calumny For fourteen years he
served in the Senate and House of Repre-
sentaiives Of the United States. Was it du-
ring that period that he sold his opn children
into bondage?
Is by such charges as these, false in their
conception, and still falser in their utterance,
that JOHN TYLER is to be crushed The allies
may rave and storm-and utter calumny upon
calumny-but our reliance is upon the People,
the GREAT PEOPLE, who know what JUS
tce is, and will administer it in due season to
all men.
We regard this outrageous SANDER as an as
sault aimed at the entire South. These fanatics
would have it believed that no man living on
this side of Mason's and Dixons line possesses
any moral character They would desecrate
the tomb Of Washington, because he was a
Shareholder. They would scatter to the winds
the ashes of Washington, Madison, and Monroe.
and other eminent worthless, because they were
shareholders. They would obliterate the glo-
saes of the past in our history, because those
glores were achieved by shareholders in COM
pany with the gallant and noble spirits of other
States They would rend asunder the ark of
the Covenant the sacred Constitution under
which we live, because shareholders lent their
aid to build it up-and uniting with foreign in
cendlarles, would wrap the Union in hames,
10 accomplish their wicked and mischevous
purposes.
Such are the new allies Of the ultra presses in
their attacks on the President. We advise the
Globe and lis fellows, The Richmond Wing and
It's foul associates all over the country TO make
another effort at biingsgate. The Aboioniss
have at last exceeded them IN the contest for the
palm in abuse and blackguardsm-an surely
they are too ambitious of the distinction of be-
ing the first in that calling, thus TO be ouldone.
