To the Hon. S. S. BOVINE !:

To the Hon. S. S. BOWIE:
DEAR Sir The county papers have laid before
their readers the Message of President Tyler, and it
gratifying fact to be able to say that the Demo-
cratic party, generally, approve the measures
mended in that document Some few of the --
school profess opposition to the Exchequer plan
as proposed and enforced by the President. This,
however, am well satisfied, is confined TO very
small number of the great Democratic family. |
have strong for the belief that the country
prepared TO give this important and vital measure
fair and impartial trial In my judgment 1t is due to
the President and his Administration that it should be
so. If upon fair trial of the measure, II shall
prove detrimental TO the best interests of the country
Congress have the power to apply the proper rene
dy and on the other hand if the measure shall
prove beneficial and brings the needed relief to the
country, as have strong reasons 10 hope and believe
il WILL it will then receive the seal of appreciation
from every honest and true hearted Ame rieon.
My own judgment is, had seat in the National
Legislature at this time under existing circumstances
would give this great measure of President Tyler's
Administration my support. The Democracy Of the
country it to the President TO do for his fear
less and pa rioc stand in frustrating the wicked and
unholy designs of the Wing party. His frmness and
political integrity has saved the Democracy Of our
country from wearing the iron letters of Federalism
for many years 10 come. To him, therefore, should
Democrats be grateful and that gratitude should
be manifested by giving to his Administration a gene
rous and fair support.
| am yours, sc.
