tracts we have given below from Of the
Democratic Journals IN the country. In the Hca-

Executive patronage and the PROSTITUTION of the public offices

We have always said and Mr. Tyler in 1910 agreed with

Mr. Tyler, let tell the Norfolk Herald as within our
personal knowledge merely an advocate of the

OF boashng that he himself, IN numbers published this
paper the author and inst patron that very excellent
principle And left To himself and the counses of fair
meaning men, have some faith that Mr.. Tyler would
have acted upon II. But, the tempter the shape of
asiranis who thought the opportunity favorable for
using Tyler instrument Tor their ambitious schemes of
getting office he listened and IN fatal moment like his
grandmother Eve, yielded nsdious a,terer and de.

Nobody feel hatred for Mr. Tyler Hatred is resery
cd tor objects whose qualities, had they misdrec

for mere bladder OF wind give when squeezed what

passion was reserved for the arOrites who ruled them and
made their soft and pabe odous Tyranny
twas the drorite whom the People hated not the King
whom thV favori,c ruled.
And, so it is pretty much with Capt John Tyler The
People feel only contempt for hm the sentiment OF
hatred only entertained for the Counseos who have made
him play the part of traitor his own faith and his own
friends, and of yrant who has tamped upon the will of
his irSe country for their qualification that they might
reap full harvest of honours and cmoumons And this
they will feel and all of them the Of their
days.
