The following remarks Of the Providence
Chronicle, sound Democratic paper conducted
with much talent, are SO judicious that we
would call particular attention to them.
LOOKING AT THINGS AS THEY ARE.
There is species of attempt at deception which
the public should understand and be on their guard
against The presses devoted to the interest OF Mr..
Cay's election to the Presidency are enleayorng to
impress the idea that the Democratic press generally
abuse and denounce President Tyler and his admin
istration and they copy freely from half dozen
Van Buren, prints to prove the fact. Now the truth
of the matter is and well known to all who read
the signs of the times-that only five six out
of several hundred Democratic presses in the coun-
try, abuse or even speak reproachfully of the Pres
dent, or his administration, while than hum
dred Of the Democratic presses commend the course
of the present Administration generally.
1t is true that a small clique Of out and out Van
Buren, Editors, viz the Globe, the Pennsylvania,
the Richmond Enquirer, the New York Evening Post,
New Hampshire Patriot, and Bay State Democrat,
do abuse the President, and the same clique have
hired some one to write article in the Democratic
Review, abusing him. And this is the extent of the
Remuneration Of the present administration by the
Democratic press.
1t should be made known to those who do not read
the public papers, that MOI one press friendly to John
C. Calhoun, not one friendly to either COP. Cass or Col
Johnson, aud but friendly 10 Mr. Buchanan. and
that one is for 1at reason viewed with suspicion by
its friends saysa uord against the present national I'D
ADMINISTRATION, while e-tenths of the Democratic
presses Of the country thus gives quiet support to

| leaders, such as Gen. Keim, who represented tn.
strongest Democratic district in Pennsylvania in the
last Congress-Dduid Henshasr, who has always been
one Of the strongest lights Of Democracy in Massa-
chusetts, and Mr. .Neis0n who stands at the very
head of the Democratic party in Maryland are tax.

the unenviable distinction Of uniting with the Cha,
press in abusing the President who, when the De-
mocrac cause under the bad auspices Of these same
men and same presses, had become so desperate that

the trailed banner OF Democracy and raising il on
high, has, in two years, borne forward in trium

preserved the peace Of the country but b. the settle
ment Of ancient controversies which had bafled the
diplomatic skill OF previous administrations, has
established our relations with England upon the

without the aid service of boodhounds the expen-
sve and exbausting Florida war-seiiled our aims
with Mexico-restored the public credit-reclamed
the Post Office Department from bankruptcy-re-

storm and tempest. InsuItsd, abused, and even

psr.scd stesdy and quietly the high bjects dictated
BY patriotism and public duty, relying for support
and appreciation upon the virtue and intelligence OF
the American People. After he has, by his constitu.
tional judicious and republican policy revived the
confidence of business men, and lifted up and rne
onward and upward the downtrodden cause of De-

press, warmed into hopes of success by the re-
suits of President Tylcrs political course are now

futile and imPoioDt, is true, to assail and sting the
power which has restored the Democratic cause to
ITS former ascendency in the country But this like
many other evils will soon cure itself
