Mr.. Tyler is an instrument of operrasing Pyouidence
fen nia'reousiy patching this Republic from apparent
jeopardy TO rescue from the caanes of The late
drought extraordinary session. The chapter of strange
accidents conducting him to the Chief Magslracy is
SAID TO nerve him with sort of religious belief that
he is destined, through higher power to wonderful
instrumentality. Uncompromising champion of
the Radical politics OF the Virginia platform, he
stood erect upon 1t almost alone, environed by party
adherens opposed to his principles confronting par
ty opponents sympahsing with those principles,
iearlessly sustained by small sect of nfexble poll
tclans, unJustly sigmatlsed cabal or kitchen

The Presidents predictions, if not their antagonists
IN Tact the Cabinet of another, most of whom have
just departed this political life after six short months
OF htful, ephemeral existence. For some time past
Mr. Tyler must have been constant veto upon all
their views; for he did pot sympathise with one of
ms Secretaries In attachment TO Banks or Abolition
In enjoyment OF arbitrary removals from office or
any of the pleasures of excessive Government -
While ever he stands fast by the People, they will
support him. Measures, not men, is the cardinal
rule Of Republicanism 80
q Never, IN American annals, was crisis so full of
oonsong lessons as the late aborve session of the
vetoes. The whole country justly admires the sri-
king posture Of minority in the Senate whose mo-
tons, speeches, and votes still Free Let me say
for the minority Of the House Of Representatives
that under duresse, with debates oppressed and votes
suppressed, that House did its duty. Mr.. TYLER's
AND SPEECHES IN HARMONY WITH OURS, SUFFICIENTLY
SIGNALLING WHAT OUGHT TO DONE MIGHT
Expected Accordingly, the civil revolution which
marksdF t'c wonderful transition OF the hundred days
began and ended in that house; q party exulting
IN what was called omnipotence in June, broke,
by It's own oyeracton, into irreconcileable frag-
mens before September, with catastrophe OF
irreparable downfall. The minority enjoyed
the great advantages OF being one in sentiment
IN action, In the conviction of right and the of
being wronged by despotic ma orily discardng all
thoughts of making Presidents, while our opponents
thought most Of that ambitious object There were
not half dozen Democratic OF the minority
OF the House OF Representatives, that know Of, dur
ing the session. Without collusicn secret under
standing, selfish party bargain we saw enough of
the shadows of coming events to teach us that we
had but to wait obvious developments and bde our
time in open patient, steadfast adhesons TO the prin
ciples were chosen to maintain This constituted
all the policy bad occasion for Thus managed |
with honesty is the best policy, three months Of
traordnary session did the work of three years Of
popular struggle, by natural cultivation Of
the straightforward of events Fighting them
selves. IL was the doom of an infatuated ma jority
TO destroy their own ascendant while a compact
minority stood fast upon the rock of their well known
principles, merely awaiting eventually. Further and
eternal vigilance still remains the price to be aw avs
paid for liberty. But the winter of our discomfort
has passed away during summer session, and spring
opens upon the fall elections with all its revving pro-
mise The late extraordinary session Of Congress is
the last Of the extraordinary session. 1t has taught
lessons Of moderation and economy which can never
be forgotten II has taught the American people that
coalitions are inconsistent with our politics. TuE
