"PRosCRIBING PRESCRIPTIONS

From all that we can see, or hear, or read in
the newspapers, the ,rifiing amount of "proscr-
bling prescription" done by the Executive, takes
most admirably. 1t is hailed with delight in
every quarter. The true Republican spirit OF
the land rejoces in seeing the famous promise
of 1910, in some drgree. carried out.
The Globe has become alarmed at The resist
less tide Of popularity setting in favor of the
President, who, contrary TO the boasts of the
Clay Wings, can "dare" TO restore to the Re
publican party the places of honor which had
fallen into the hands of the enemy under the
reign Of prescription. In vain does the Globe
echo the wailogs of Federal Whggery over
the dismissal of Van Rensselaer,
In sober truth, the whole nation is thankful to
the President for "proscrlbing prescription
The People thank him for il almost as much as
they do for his Veloes-and indeed it is a work
quite as merilorcus and patriotic, in the eyes OF
the nalion, as any Other.
We are as much opposed 10 prescription as
any body else, and we trust that no President
whom We may ever support will practice il bu,
to "prosoribe prescription" is dury impera-
tive on every wise and just Chief Magistrate.

JUSTICE, TO JOHN TYLER !"

IL has been proven and conceded on all hand.
that President TylsI's uutilnching devotion io

and deadly assaults of unprncipled factions
while pursuing the paramount object OF his pub

throw aud annihi!a,on of cor upt party and
the tendency of those true Republican prilci
PIES which he mbbed from the lips OF his iiluslrl-
ous tutor, THOMAS JEFFERSON.
Two short years ago, the Wing party, by
protesting to entertain those genuine Republican
principles, numbered in its fold nearly two
thirds of the People Of the United States
Mr.. Tyler not only professed, but actually en-
terfained none oher than true Republican prin-
ciples. But the Wing leaders threw off the
Republican mask when. as they thought power
was secured. Mr.. Tyler never had but one
face, and being called by Providence and the
Constitution to administer the Government, his
actions proved that his professions of Demo
crazy were sincere.
Then the Wing leaders and the Bentonian
ulras commenced billingsgate war on him.
But the People decided that he was in the
right 1t is true that Mr.. Ben,ons coalition
with the Clay Wings In the Senate defeated
some of his nominations but what is the as
pect of affairs out Of Congress- We see the
Republicans everywhere nobly sustaining the
Presidents daring and honest course, while the
Clay Wing party is in hopeless minority IN
every State in the Union-save, perhaps, ONE
while, on The other hard, the Republicans are
victorious on every contested field, in spite OF
the malignant efforts Of Messrs. Clay and
Benton.
Would This state of things have existed if
President Tyler had been inundated, brow
beaten into servile compliance with the be-
hests of the Dicta,o.s? If The President had
signed the Bank bill-lhe Distribution bill-and
consented TO the removal Of 10000 Democrats
from office, and the substitution in their places OF
as many Federal Whiss-we ask if the Demo
cratic party would be al this moment Gas it H. in
the ASCENDANT If not, then let no man censure
US for repeatedly calling on the nation to do'jus-
lice TO John Tyler"
The Globe may continue to espouse the
cause of the discarded Van Rensselaers, and
copy The yiluperatons Of Federal Whiggery-il
may continue to abuse the President ''withoul
reserves for restoring Democrats TO ofhce-and
it may also continue to denounce the Demo
Gratis who accept Office, as "renegades" and
"aposraies"-snd even Mr.. Benton may con-
tnue to vote against the Democratic nomina-
lions before the Senate-yet we doubt very
much whether all their influence will be able
again TO pull The Democratic party down to a
hopeless minority, or 10 prevent the Democracy
from doing "justice to John Tyler"
