important bearing on public opinion

"a Wing seated reading the Globe newspaper '"-
Ter Democrat
yhig. Good morning neghbor. Have you READ
Mr. Cushing's barefaced proposition To sell The pat
rona.e of the Government to the highest bidder
De,soera. No, sir
Wig. Here il is breads y "If you viii not aid The
President In carrying on the Government as The Con-
stitudon requires il is his highest duty TO look ior
assistance in the ranks of your adversares"
Democrat do not understand this TO be aproposi-
ton 10 put up the patronage OF The "o'ernme"' "
the highest bidder Ii is declaration that II IS the
duty of the President 10 look for assistance to carry
ON the Government and that if the Wings refuse 10
aid him he must seek aid from the Democratic par
IT, do not understand this proposition to sell
the patronage of the Government, but that II 'he
Wings continue TO oppose every measure which he
recommends because il is recommended by hin nc
must see whether he cannot so modify his measures
as to command the support Of the Democratic party.
Whi.. How can he expect the Wings to support
his measuresi Has he not deserted US Is he not a
traitor
Democrat These are hard names But pray tell
me how, and in what has Mr.. Tyler deserted the
Whgsi And first what the Wing measures, and
when they proclaimed
Wing. The Wing measures are National Bank
and proieeiire Tariff and they were proclaimed at
the extra session.
Democrat Are you not content with the present
tariff and did not Mr.. Tyler approve it,
Whig Yes, but he vetoed the Bank, and that was
the leading Wing measure.
Democrat Did you NOT know that Mr.. Tyler was
opposed to a National Bank when you placed his
name on the Wing ticket as a candidate for the Vice
Presidency , Did he not write letter for Publica-
ton, which he enclosed to Mr.. Wise, in which he
said that, if called upon to give the casting vote as
Vice President he would vote against Bank And
did not the Wing leaders to whom Mr. Wise sub
mit,ed that letter. advise that it should not be pub
lshed
Whg All that is true. He did write such let
ter and Mr. Wise did submit it to the leaders of the
party and they were Of opinion that it ought not to
be published, but The Bank Nas not then the party
sion The party met in caucus, and agreed to repeal
the Sub-,easury, distribute the proceeds of the pub
lie lands, pass a Bankrupt act, increase the Tariff,
and make Bank, and these were the measures oftbe
party.
Democrat 1t then appears that the leaders of your
party knew that the President would be compelled TO
violate his oath Of Office, veto National Bank,
because you admit that he had notified the leaders of
your party before he elected that in his opinion
Congress had no constitutional right to charter a
Bank and that therefore, if, as Vice President, he
should be called upon to vote he would vote against
Bank and yet these same leaders, caucus, resolved
to compel him to violate his oath of Office or to veto
the Bank. Now, the President approve ed your Bank
rupt bill and her measures, and it does seem to me
that the w higs who declined making the Bank par
ty question before the election and then made it the
question after the election, have right to denounce
Mr. Tyler for doing that now, which he told them
then he would do Instead of his deserving you, you
have deserted him. You knew what his opinions
were, and if he would not change his opinions TO
please your leaders before the election you have no
right to complain tina, he refuses to change them
now. An honest man cannot change his opinions
! at will Such is my opinion bu; will see you TO-
morrow, and we will renew the conversation.
