President nobly stepped up to the performance
of his high duty: he did all that could have
been reasonably expected from the Democratic
psry-he vetoed the Bank bills--be saved the
Constitution, and by that single act the arms Of
millions were unfolded 10 do service once more
in the great cause of their country. The De
mocracy ever since have iiourished. Rout al
ter rout, 10 rapid succession, has followed upon
the heels Of the Wings, and spread dismay
throughout their ranks, until nearly every State

House OF Representatives is Democratic by an
overwhelming majority, and the last ioothold OF
Whggery is the doubtful tenure Of meagre
majority in the Senate of the United States.
What triumph what glorious triumph this
for the country, under the united efforts of John
Tyler and Democracy! win the Democrats
not now sustain that John Tyler? Can they
requile with calm indifference his unspoken
claims upon their gratitude aud favor? VIII

not, they will not join in the abuse of the
Globe. If ever man was entitled to The sup
