PRESIDENT TYLER AND HIS PUBLIC ACTS

" H.
PRESIDENT TYLER AND HIS PUBLIC ACIo
We look upon the public acas OF President Tyler ~
the best opponents OF lib principles. lie " sradu
from the political school Of ihe great FOUNDER
Of Democracy Thomas Jefferson; and. throughout
his whole political career, has escg been found True
10 the principles ho thus early imtibed rom te ca
amples OF the cage of Monticello. II has bocn re-
marked, and the remark rs just one, "that me opi-
ions OF President Tyler upon the various trying ana
important subjects now agitaied before the people,
are bat the counterpart aud echo OF the general good
sense and judgment Of the country and that, could
the clamor of the ultra political demagogue be Tor
one moment senced aud put To rest the people woud
find that the whom they have been so perseser-
ngy taught to deride and despse, is calmly and hon
estly going on IN the promulgatoh and advocacy oil,
II were their own doctrines and their own opinions
These facts that cannot be denied. And, II The
EXchequer plan which he proposed, and which,
while II obyiaed the constitutional objections which
lay in the way OF National Bank and banished all
alleged defects IN the SubTreasury scheme, had been
taken up in right spirit aud calmly and dispas-
sionaely considered by Congress, It's imperiectons
or any ithad) might have been remedied, and sound,
efficient and constitutional agent Of the government
and the people established from the elements OF the
several hnonciai projects. The people most want,
aud they require and will be satisfied with none other,
than moderate measures; they have been cursed 10
their hearts content with ultraism.
No one, save he be made up with devotion TO fac
Ashland, can for moment longer desire the pre-
sent deranged state of fiscal affairs And it must
be apparent to every rejecting mind, that the sooner
this vexed question is settled permanently and upon
correct principles the better it will be for the coun-
try
The Currency question is a question of deep and
abiding interest, and one upon which there is d.
sersity OF conflicting opinions, requiring concession
on all sides, to for il successful termination
and ~ this II must come at last faction and ultrasm
unIE Farm. and hs
and rejoice TO that the people in all directions
are maniiesng disposition TO take the management
Of their own affairs into their own hands.
This plain common sense view Of affairs, with
reference TO this question, has led heretofore, and
again impel us TO express astonshment, as well
as our regret, at the insipid and parsimonious COM
mcndation, and negative support, which the demo-
cratic party has given 10 President Tyler in his try
ing conflicts with Mr.. Clay and his Wing allies
maintaining as he has, his position against such fear
full odds, aud at such imminent peril TO his popularity
and may add his personal safety.
President FLYERS whole end and aim has been to
protect and defend those great principles for which
the democracy nobly and ably contended in the
great contest Of '9S, aud whica were consummated
IN the election Of Mr. Jefferson to the Presidency in
1900; and hence every true Democrat who chershes
those principles and the name of that great
and good man. ought not only to stard by him during
the conflict but rally around him at each succeed
ing attack, and cheer and sustain him at each
ed onset
We have been careful observer of President Ty-
ers course and having from infancy, imbibed
the notion that the most sublime spectacle in nature
is honest and good man struggling with adversely,
constrained to declare, that we have never, in
the whole course of our life, met with nearer APP
Proclamation to this point of moral submity, than
that presented in the instance Of Jons TYLER. Con-
tending single handed it were, for the integrity of
his principles and the welfare Of his beloved country
against the continued assaults Of the Wing party.
