But sensible man believes the charge of treache.
ry preferred against Mr.. Tyler in reference To Ma
| iona Bank. His whole public career proves that he
was opposed to such an Institution. His votes and
speeches in the Senate and his letters, all op-
posed to bank. This was well understood through
out Virginia aud conseq uently the address OF her
| Wing State Convention took ground against bank
and affirmed that both Harrison and Tyler stood up-
! posed to such an institution. Mr. Clay really
the traitor to the principles ayowed by The Wings Of
Virginia and to those of Mr.. Tyler, as was shown
by Judge Bowlin Of st Louis, in a speech delivered
| in tins city, in the late Congressional canvass. The
| Judge saw rcdeeming traits in the character Of tie
| Pres.dent-'he people every where them-De.

hate of Mr.. Clay was implacablc
This detail OF the movements Of the G lobe against
Mr. Tyler, is not given in defence Of The present Adj
mnistraon, but 10 show how excessively bitter and
reckless Mr. Bl4ir is in his opposition to IT, though he
has son in ST Louis holding the Office Of District
Attorney Of the United States under it, All office
holders, except the son Of his bosom he regards as
| renegades and loafers He has denied that any De.
mocrat would receive Office from Mr. Tyer-as Mr.
| Clay declared that true Wing could. Thus the
great" leader OF the Federal party with the aid of
his reclaimed go-between, has been striving to pre-
vent the President from obtaining officers to carry on
the Government. They have labored for a common
objectto embarrass The President of the nation and
to make him responsible for the failure of the Wings
10 redeem the pledges they gave in the Of
| 1910.
And who has forgotten the Globes ,.rulen, and al
most ceaseess denunciatons of those Democratic
Senators who voted for the ratification Of The late
treaty with Engandi That treaty pronounced
| treason-rank treason and those who consented to
it were, by broad implication, daily denounced as
| traitors during at least six months. Who were the
traitors Su h men as Calhoun, Wright, Woodhu-
ry, King, Walker, Wilcox Bagby, &c.-as pure De-
mocrats as the nation contains. There was a differ
ence OF opinion among the Democratic Senator'S
| which was no doubt honest. The ma oity voted for
the ratification Of the treaty, and assigned their rea
sons for so doing-yet the majority of the Demo
cras IA the Senate furiousy belabored for SIX
eight months in the Globe, as accomplices in tie
TREASON alleged 10 have been committed We then
decidedly d'saPProved The treaty. as we do now but
We could not fail TO perceive, in the course of the
! Globe, determination to produce a schism in the
party, If practicable. What object could it have had
| IN view?
| Ard why has the Globe clamored for free trade
and, by ndlrecton, for direct taxation and the with.
drawal of even incidental protection, but TO break
down the Democracy IN the manufacturing States Of

were OBVIOUSLY designed to annihate the great leader
