JUSTICE TO THE PRESIDENT.

We have spoken, IN numerous articles of the dis
tinguished services Of President Tyler TO the dem
cratic cause have, day by day, marked the
course Of his administration, and, follow ing il up
from IFS commencement 10 the present hour, have
H. UNFOLDING " ith a firm grasp, the true princ
pies Of the party as expounded to US by those pat
riots on whose honor and integrity no charge has
ever been fastened. II has slso been our agreeable
task TO record the spontaneous expressions Of conf
dence and respect which the course of our Chief Ma
gslrate has ELECTED from the democratic ranks IN
every section Of the Union. We have seen hm hailed
from North 10 South from East to West, a. wholly
worthy TO occupy the chair Of Thomas Jefferson and
his democratic successors Ia office.
Judging him by the services which he has rem
dercd, by the sacrifices he has made, by The popular
feeling shown towards him. we cannot conceal the
belief that he IS entitled 10 denomination at the
hands Of the democratic party.
The democratic party sustained General Jackson
second time on account Of his course towards Ma.
tional Bank and elected him triumphanty pre,i-
dent Tyler has the same claims TO support He like
the glorious old hero Of Ne~ Orleans stepped for
ward TO crush the National Bank, at time too
when party power was strongly in It's favor aud hem
TO oppose it, required astonishing degree Of moral
hfmGess. IL should be borne ia Mod that al the pc
rod when President 4 ler came forward and arraycd
himself against the Bank, the fortunes Of The deL,o
cratic party we're deeply owe rshadowed- the sole
hope rePossd on the character Of the Chief Msgis-
The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1843-10-12

tr,te he alone would save them from impending
ruin Ills vetoes saved aud restored the democratic
party They gave the cause that weight and impetus
which ensured It's subsequent triumph IA every sec
tion Of the Union.
We must bear 10 mind, also, that The coming con
test Is 10 be wagei upon the question OF BANK OF no
Bank Who litter 10 head The host OF opponents OF
a Bank than the chief whose frmness and PATRIOTISM
ayerted from the country the crying evils OF Ddhh
system foisted upon II la direct opposition 10 lhe
viii Of the maoriIyi President Tyler ought to be
put forward as the champion and advocate OF lhe
anti Bank party--hs principles render II AN act OF
justice his popularity an act OF policy
The popularity We have claimed for the President
is no idle boast But few months have elapsed
since the promul CATION Of his yctoes ANA their recep
ton by the people Is yet fresh within the memory Of
all The peang Of bells--the salyoes of artillery
The shouts that rent the air these illusions
they spoke alphabetically The sentiment Of the people
Al the time Of those public expressions, the entire
Democratic party, including al its acknowledged
organs, came out IN favor OF President Tyler,
Since them certain presses devoted from interest
ed motives, 10 the exclusive advocacy OF The claims
Of other distinguished Democrats, have abandoned
their original and true position, and now exhibit
hostility TO the claims of MIR. Tyler. But the peo-
pie so far as we are capable Of judging, remain I'M
changed. They can never forget the Vetoes. They
never forget whose hand il was that arrested The
progress of Federal misrue at time when II threat
ened to sweep the land with Irresistible power.
They having no selfish interests at stake, can calmly
survey the claims Of coniendng candidates, and pro-
! nounce their verdict with impartiaty and hrmness.
The claims Of President Tyler prominent and
tangible that there is dagger Of their being over
looked by the people lie Vetoed The United States
Bank" This simple sentence sufficient 10 enlist
every distinguished Republican in ms favor, and
the claims of President Tyler submitted to the
test Of popular vote, very triumphant
majority would be found IN his favor.

UI'TIICI7 HUH.
Ramseys majority thus far is III, which will not
be materially affected either way by the balance Of
the county. Considering the small vote in the coun-
~, the result is truly gratifying.
For Assembly, Jordan (Nhig) runs far ahead Of
his ticket, and will be elected by handsome major
ny Miller (Whg) and Shindel and Laumnn, 10
COSY running very close, and it is impossible to
say which will be elected. The balance Of the
Wing ticket is doubtless elected with the exception
Of the county commissioner.
The Wing Canal Commiss oners, 50 far as heard
from, are about 500 ahead. Guilford runs slightly
above the other Wing candidates, and Clark below
his Locofoco colleagues.
P. s. Ramsay's majority in Lebanon county is 273.
His majority is thus IN Dauphn aud Lebanon about
600, and he IS doubtless elected Schuylkill will
not probably give over about COO against him.

LYNCH, of Frederick, Md. Edward was attack
ed some two or thee years ago by hemorrhs &c

self and his friends that he should take advantage,
during the past winter, of the milder and more
equabe climate of some of the Islands within the
tropics. The island Of Santa Cruz was selected
for this purpose, and his brother Eugene last fall
accompanied him thither: The health of Mr..
Lynch had very much improved after his arrival
there, furnishing strong Inducements to believe that
he anil those and dear to him would enjoy his
return TO his family this spring in the full fruition OF
renovated health: An all;wise Providence, all
whose works are beyond human ken, ordained that
it should be otherwise. He was again Frustrated
by sickness. The brother who accompanied him

The Vicksburg Sentinel Of the 4th inst.
announces the sudden death Of Mrs.
Shelton, the wife OF William II. Shelton,
formerly President ofthe Brandon (Missis-
sippi) Bank, who lately drowned himself
in Pearl River. Mr.. S. had borrowed
different sums of money from number of
his friends and from Mr.. Crane some FIVE
or $4,000 in State warrants, and loaned
them to Mr.. Graves, the defaulting Treas
urer, in order that Mr.. G. might be able to
clear his skirts, for the time, of the embez-
element. When the Treasurer escaped,
Mr.. Crane demanded the return of his
warrants, which Mr.. s. was not able to do,
Mr.. Crane then became exasperated and
threatened a prosecution for perjury in
his testimony before the examining court
in the case of Graves. The fear Of the
disgrace consequent upon such an expo
sure, induced Shelton to commit suicide.
Mr.. s. was a native Of Halifax county,
Virginia, and about As or so years old.
On hearing of the melancholy end OF
her husband, Mrs. Skeletons physical or
ganization sank under the moral torture,
aHd she expired in spasms. This unfor-
iuno,e couple left numerous family oil
children.
