THE RICHMOND WHO AND NEW BEDFORD
BULLETIN.

We take pleasure in extracting from the ed'
toria columns of the - Anne ican Traveller and
Farmers Advocate" the following commentary
upon vile SANDER perpetraied some time since
1--WE are told by fiiend) in the Richmond
Wing, and subsequently copied into The New
Bedford Bulletin, against Mr.. John Tyler, Jr. we
presume the editor Of the Traveller became ac'
quained with Mr. Tylsr in Boston, for he speaks
of seeing him there. We sincerely wish that
American editors generally entertained The
same ideas of propriety; surely no class Of our
fellow citizens should possess higher sense oil
honor and justice than the editorial corps
of this country, when our Institutions depend SO
much upon The virtue and Intelligence oil the
people.
Our knowledge of Mr. Tyler will warrant us
in endorsing the remarks a The editor Of the
7 raveller, in saying that the Richmond wing
and New Bedford Bulletin deserved much
seyerer castiealion il il were possible for them

Mr. Tyler.
NONE TOO GOOD, NONE PURE, NONE TOO ExALT
Ed FoR THE sAcRIyicE.-lt is now Eve regret 10 say
t)a common remark that the bitterness, reckessness
aud fasohood of the party press tend to muse
coarseness and vulgarty into the public mind, and OF
course to unhnge that delicate moral sense, when
every patriot regards one OF the highest ataIIi-
ments of a civilized community.
partial antidote to this alarming and ali-perva-
ding evil, may be found in the fact, that now very
many parents who are anxious about the education
Of their children taking grounds against IL, by
excluding such vile party organs from their hresides,
and thus protecting their children from their vulgar
and baleful influence.
We take then for our text, the following specimen
of the party press from the New Bedford Bulletin OF
May Goth. 1t is fair sample. Judge ye of its in
auence and moral tendency,
"HoLD US UP.-The Ornamental Secretary OF the
Chinese Commissioner has, il is said, Inscribed upon
his card and head 'John Tyler, Jr, private and
confidential secretary Of his Excellency, the Pres-
dent of the United States ~ Why does he not add
inspector of the brothels, and general superinten-
dent Of the grog,hops of Washington II would be
appropriate"
What father can recommend this to the perusal Of
his sons and daughters; What American abroad

Having read this gross and cruel attack upon one
of the most promising young men of Virginia, (com-

enough, that the character Of our most gifted and
useful men, of all parties, should be blackened like

their sons and daughters before the public, and ex-
posing them to ridcule and contempt

was no inscription whatever upon it--nothi but a

with Mr.. Tyler's card and cane, at Washington, as
