Now, in reference to one important event, the
pilgrimage of the constitutionaly elected President
OF the United States to Bunker Hill, what has been
the conduct and behavior OF those prints! Let Us
give only one example, which Is as good as dozen,
and Is taken from the SouIleI ~ vi INC

As said before, but for the

The extraordinary language which is here applied
10 the Chief Magistrate of the United States, only
equaed, but not surpassed, by the terms Of reproach
heaped upon him by the American" OF this city,
the Atlas" of Boston, and other similar journals.
Yet the clique of society, whose words and opinions
these journals only reflect, pretend tn possess all the
virtue, morals, intelligence, education and gentle
manly qualities OF the land. They are, in fact the
i a. - (-a,
land who pretend to up as exclusives in society,"
as species of aristocracy-as persons OF higher
birth and nobler purposes than the masses of people
around them. The opprebrious language used by
these journals are not isolated examples OF black
guardism- they are, fact samples OF the precise
character and style which prevail in the parlor-in
the counting room-in the drawing room-in the
club room-and in all the other haunts Of elegance,
rascality, piety and dissipation which character
that section of society.
John TYLER the President of the United States,
has. no doubt, his errors-"to err is human"-but
he has undoubtedly performed his public duties to
the best of his abilities and power. As private
enrleman, he is amiable, honorable and open heart
eS-as public man, he can show as consistent and
honorable career as any statesman in the coun-
try. 10 both capacities. or in either, he certainly
does not merit to be treated and talked of as one
woud speak of fclon going to prison to suffer for
his crimes-and more especially is it extraordinary
that that portion of the press and Of society, that
claim TO possess all the virtue morals, and respeca
bility of the land, should indulge in such low, de-
graded disgusting, atrocious and shameless cpl
thets.
But the truth s this-these small sections of socie

ETY. the small CLIQUE who disgrace themselves by
using such terms as we have shown, when speaking

imitatoFs OF the European sTisocracy-but with the
natural instincts oi ignorance and impudence, they
copy their vces-not their virtues.
Such being the case, the vituperation Of such
class of people, and such papers, do not amount TO
much in these days of intelligence and indepen-
dence.
