MR. TYLER'S DEMOCRACY.

In summoning witnesses from the Democratic
ranks, We have been struck with one remarka-
Bile fact and that is the facility with which polili-
clans can sometimes change about. In lS4l when
it was acknowledged by candid men of all par
ties, that the Democratic party was PROSTATE,
powerless, and on the eve OF crumbling TO pieces,
we saw the ultra leaders, even those alter the
Globes own heart, and whom it denomnaes
the "ony honest men," rolu'ltarity step for
ward and anxiously produce innumerable proofs
of Mr.. Tylers genuine, uniform, consistent, or
thodox Democracy. Then they appealed to
him by every term Of endearment to save them
for the sake of the country, and for his own
consistency's sake, 10 save The Republican party
from annihiatioD. For the SAKE oil the Consii-
tution, the Country, the Republican People, (bul
not the ultra poliiicans) he did veto Mr.. Clay Is
monster.
And now what is the spectacle presented by
the Globe and its "only honest menP Why,
being placed, as they vainly suppose, securely in
the position Of DicTAToRs TO the party, they
labor to prove that Mr.. Tyler is a :" traitor to
Mr.. Clay,n MIR. Bllir's beloved old friend and
connexion by marriage" and is anything else
but true Democrat!
Well, if the proofs Of Mr.. Tyler's Democracy,
produced by themselves, were valid in 1871, we
are not aware that we can do better than TO ar
ray them against the Globes assertions in lS43
All our evidence is copied from the Globe.
Mr.. BUCHANAN, the distinguished Senator
from Pennsylvania, is our next witness. BY
L al. n
Tyler were run as anti Bank men, andthen pro-
coed to give his evidence in favor of Mr.. Tylel's
Democracy.
Mr.. BUCHANAN said in the Senate:
Unless I am greatly misinformed, distinguished
gentleman Of North Carolina, (Nr. Badger) now
q member Of the Cabinet, in an address before the
Wing Convention Of that State, Indignantly pro.
nounced the assertion that General Harrison was in
favor OF such Bank, TO be falsehood. This speech
was, understand, printed and circulated all over
North Carolina. 1have not seen il myself; but have
received my information from an undoubted source
Mr.. GRAHAM said the speech was not made be-
fore the Wing convention, but at public meeting in
that State.
Mr. BUCHANAN. Then the gentleman admits that
the speech was made Where il was made Is of lit
tie consequence.
Mr.. CALHouN. ! have the speech Of Mr.. Badger
in my hand, and shall read the following extract from
"Next, il is said that General Harrison favors a
Bank OF the United States. The charge is false.
His opinions, on the contrary, are against a Bank
Mr.. GRAHAM. The speech was not made before
the Wing State Convention on the 5th Of October
1910.
MIR. Calhoun. II will show for itself I, appears
TO have been made on the I'd Of March, 1870
MIR. GnAuAs. AT a meeting Of the citizens at
Granville.
Mr.. CALHouS ssscnted TO this, and said that hun
dred thousand copies of the speech had been printed
and circulated.
Mr.. BUCHANAN continued. The misunderstanding
relates not to what Mr. Badger said but merely as 10
when and where he said II. The important fact is
established beyond all doubt that this distinguished
gentleman who was selected by the late President as
= member OF the Cabinet, on account of his eminent
talents, and his svewed political principles did come
out, at great convention in March last and in the
strongest terms did pronounce the charge to be false
that Harrison favored Bank of the United States
This is all desire TO know and whether one hun.
dred thousand thousand copies Of this address
were circulated, is q matter Of small importance
We then have the solemn declaration OF man of
high character, at the head Of the Wing party in
North Carolina, branding as faIsehood The charge
that the late President favored National Bank
And yet is gravey asserted that the people al the
late election have determined in favor Of such a
Bank
TO the best Of m, knowledge the question was ne.
publicly discussed any where in my own State b,
the Wing party throughout the late canvass They
would have committed political suicide had they
made Il a turning point Of the election
Then Mr.. b. referred uiumphan,ly to Mr.
Tylefs deliberate opinion:n
I" Bot this deliberate conviction Of the Commit |
tee on the Currency IS IN direct opposition TO the de-
libers's opinion OF The President Of the United States
