GOV. SHANNON'S LETTER.

We append the letter OF Gov. Shannon II
vindication of President Tyler and his Admin
istration. In times like the present, when the
selfconstitutnd managers Of party are ''run
ming over roughshod," and dragging to the
stake" every man of high standing who dares
TO utter word in behalf Of the President who
preserved the Constitution and the People from
the Federal nflictiCn of a National Bank-and
offered up himself as willing sacrifice, so that
the principles Of his life might suffer no desc,
cration-n such times as these, nothing but a
deep and settled conviction of the imperative
justice of such course, and an utter disregard
Of consequences when performing a noble act,
could have actuated such man as Coy. Shan
non, to speak out, and speak freely, in vindca-
zion Of the much reviled Chief Magistrate OF
our country.
And the convictions and feelings which i'm
PEELED Gov. Shannon to make such bold decla-
rations, are shared by the honest and untorrified
People of the great Safe over which he pre-
sides, and to greater or less degree ia all tn,
States. These convictions and feelings can
not be reversed and repressed by party dicta-
tors they must find vent sooner or later, and
the longer il is put off, the more certain and eff
feclual will be the destruction of the dictate rial
Globe clique, when The day OF retrbution does
come.
When the Wing majority of 10000 in Ohio
was reversed la I year, Gov Shannon well
knew that the Republican parry was indebted to
the CO operation of the friends Of the President
for It's victory; and he knows very W II, thai
If the friends Of The President should be Sab
souieIy repeUed,"as advised by The GLIDE, ,ha
not only Ohio, but a large majority OF the
States ",vould fall into the hands of ultra Fede
rail- M"
WHY has the President been assaiIed by the
Globe politicians? Has he declared his uten
ZION to be candidate in 1874? If to b. a can
date is crime, he should have been found
guilty Def re he was executed But the deed
has been done The GLOBE and lis ltlIe pack
Of vepers, have illuminated he President far
more inexcusaby than The Mira Wing sheets.
and nor the Democratic party, ue sincerely
beiiere, arM administer a just rebuke, by de
clining to endorse the Globe and lis toilomers
Bul to the letter, which speaks Ior iis,lf bet
ter than we can peak for il:
