4 from Mr.. Tyler's previous opnions-that the
authors Of the Wing address ground their i'm
pulation of interested aud ambitious views
against Mr.. Tyler. The insertion OF the pro
posed disclaimer in the veto would have lefl
them without prelext for an nfiammatory APP
peal TO the People Not being inserted, the
whole country was eagerly called upon TO see
the connexon between the veto and Mr.. Ty-
er's views to the Presidency yet Mr. Ewing
| could see Z" no conneIion whatever"
| This, however, was not the only occasion
where Mr. Ewing could perceive conneXion
between matters where all the rest Of the world
could see strong and obvious affinity. He has
| no talent for synlhesis, and prefers 10 consider
things disjointedly, instead of following the ex-
ample of the vulgar and "pulting this and that
together"
| He could see no connection between the
second veto, and Mr.. Bots Coffee House
letter. The public, without exception, re-
garded that letter as the accidental revelation
of a conspiracy-the disclosure of the secret
manruvrngs of the ultra Wing party. 1t fur
nished irresistible proof that they were legisla-
ting on the Bank question, not with view TO
the welfare OF the country, but for mere party
purposes and with design to ''head Captain
| Tyler" Yet because there was no legal, for
| NAL, parliamentary" connexion between the
two subjects-because Bolts letter was not re-
cited in preamble to the Bank bill, as explana-
tory of its purport-Mr. Tyler was bound to fall
into snare with his eyes open.
/ NJ Il or.
alysis and synthesis are at least equal TO those
of Mr.. Ewing-and who understands, at least
as well, the meaning of words and the atlinities
of things--could see in Mr. Bolts letter con-
elusive reason for the postponement by the
| Wing party of the second Bank bill, not only
in justice to themselves, but in justice 10 the
President; and, it might have been added, in
justice TO the whole country for if the bill had
been approved in the face Of such revelation
on the part of the authors of it, of its true in
tent and meaning, the very officers OF the pro-
| posed Bank would have been justified in consid
ering it as bank Of discount in disguise, and
adopted In that form merely TO give the Presi-
dent decent prelext for surrendering Constitu'
tional scruples.
| Having now seen with how little truth and
justice, and by what unworthy means. these
| Wing leaders have endeavored TO draw down
upon our Chief Magistrate the weight of popu-
lar odium and contempt, let us contemplate the
doom which would justly have awaited him
from the other party, if yielding to threats or
articles, he had been weak enough TO abandon
principles cherished throughout his whole pub
lie life We shall quote the sentence which
they were prepared to pronounce upon him, in
the words of Senator Buchanan man not
prone to indulge in harsh or ungeneiou thoughts,
or violent expressions
81 will tell the honorable Senator, however, what
do intend, although we have studiousy kept our
solves aoof from all interference with the President
and from every attempt to influence his conduct So
far his shall be in conformity with our
principles, shall give them cordial and Jealous
| support. Should the Senator, in utter viola
! ton, as believe, Of the Constitu, ion, again
attempt to establish national bank, with the
| privilege of spreading its branches throughout
| the Union, and thus, by concentrating the money
power TO corrupt the land; and should the Pre-
President again and again conscientiousy veto such
dangerous measure, shall be ever ready to yield
him our support in cause SO righteous. Whatever
the Senator may think Of us, we shall cheer him
|
and faithful servant - you have redeemed your
country from an institution in deadly hostility both
| TO the spirit and letter of our form of Government
And will theWhigs charge him with treason for this
The idea Of falsehood is always involved IN that Of
treason and they never can succeed In branding a
man as traitor for adherng to the wel-known prin-
| cples of his whole life.
| "The Senator expects that President Tyler will
approve this bill IL he does, he will then render
himself forever infamous. His name will be the
scorn and rdicue Of party, and the contempt OF
the other. No; he will never do II. Destiny has
left him but course to pursue honest man,
and that to go straight ahead and fearlcssy perform
his duty He cannot now turn back without disgrace
and disboDor If he shall pursue this course, vas,
majority of the American people, OF all political
parties, will award TO him the merit OF having sac
rced all his personal feelings, and encountered the
frowns of many Of his ancient friends flom sacred
regard to the Constitution and welfare of his coun.
try. This will be his reward. He will then stand
forever in niche of the temple Of Fame, associated
with those pure and exalted patriots who have sac
rced all selfish considerations TO their country
Such language as This, but still more violent
and indignant, would have rung through this
Democratic presses from one end of the land tc
the other, the more bitter for its truth. Then
indeed, Mr.. Tyler might justly have become
ian object of almost universal detestation ,
then, indeed, the Democracy might have 'hated
him as a renegade from their party"
But it is false that the Democratic party have
ever, at any time, looked upon Mr.. Tyler as q
renegade" 1t is never the part Of a renegade
nor does it subject man to odium or hatred, o,
even uniriendy feelings among honorable men
to secede upon clearly expressed and palpabl'
grounds of difference from an administration in
the funess Of its power, and voluntarily los,
himself in the ranks Of a hopeless minority in
opposition. No mans political principles hsv,
been better known, more candidly avowed, Of
more consistently adhered to, than those of Mr.
Tyler-no man has been more steadfast to the
true Democratic faith, nor been more promp
