FELLow-CIrIzsNs Mr.. Tyler was Conservative
Democrat when he was elected | voted for him
then. Such believe him TO be now shall accord
ingy, God willing vote for him again.
In 1910 looked carefully into the history Of Mr..
Tyler. His history exhibited hin before the country,
as a high-minded nJepe.. dent, Virginia gentleman,
of great rmness OF character distinguished for self
respect ankness drectness of purpose dlsinterest-
edn,ss, vigor of mind and purify of motive. When
the universal hearts of willing people bent subnis-
sye to the sway of party in the zenith Of its supreme
cy, JouN TYLER IN obedience u the injunctons OF
patriotic duty shook off the uaDacles Of party, and
had the independence and the courage TO come forth
from the ranks Of triumphant majority and take
his place with majority of feeble numb RS. He re-
Iinquished place, preierring private station and
clear conscience and the welfare of his country, TO
power and the emolument Of Office.
| The first mind Of modern TINS has said, ''There
is an honor likewise, which may be ranked amongst
the greatest which happeAeh r,rely that is of such
as sacrifice themselves for the god OF their country
The history Of John Tyler will probably show that
he has made more than one such immolaton for his
| country
| Having determined to supper Mr.. Tyler, desire
briefly to submit TO you my views of the principle
| and measures of his administration the reasons for
its failure or failure there has been TO realise all
the expectations of The people, and to whom the re-
sponsibility must be attached Il defeating the
summation OF the peoples wishes
In the first official address of Nh Tyler TO the peo
pie Of the United States dated April g. lS4I, with
phrophetic anticipation he says 'for the first time
in history the person elected " the Vice Presi-
dency, has had devoved upon him the Presidential
office. The spirit Of faction which is directly OPP
posed TO the spirit of lofty patriotism, may find in
this, occasion for assault upon my administration.
shall place in the intelligence and patriotism Of the
people my only reliance" 1t remains to be seen
whether there be not sufficient intelligence and pat
riosm in the people of the United States to appre-
| ciate the worth and conduct of John Tyler
| Lord Bacon has nobly said that, she courage
of public man, between ftro tatiions, proceedeth
from lrueness to himself" 1t is thi, to him
SELF TO his great character and to his country,
that has made Mr.. Tyler the object Of the hatred,
| and the cruel I'M ustice Of the "two factions In
the address to which have alluded, Mr.. Tyler set
| forth the principles according TO which he intended
TO administer the Government. That address from
the first to the last word, breathes spirit of mag
| unanimous patriotism. Ii is redoent OF sef.sacrl-
fcing devotion TO the public good. Let me adj
vert TO the principles and pledge of that address
and see If they have not been sustained and redeemed
with fidelity and if satisfy you Of this, what
| ground will the 1.-TWO factions stand"
First In regard to foreign relations in his inau-
gural address, April /, lS4l the President says ain
regard 10 foreign relations the ground work of my
policy will be justice on part to ALL submitting
| TO injustice from none" 81 shall seduously cult
| waite the relations Of peace and amty with and
| allr
submit to you fellow citizens, whether the Pre-
sident has not redeemed tins pledge Our relations
with Great Britain, at all times for many years so
perplexed critical and threatening, have been hon.
orabIy and satisfactorily adjusted. Our boundaries
have been established for ever TO the Rocky Noun
taiLs. The important articles IN the late Treaty re-
speeding the suppression OF the slave trade on the
African coast have efectually nullihed the Qubuple
treaty OF the great European powers, the object OF
which was to nterpoiae a new law of British inyen-
ton into the code of the laws Of nations to be WELD
ed against the navigating interests Of this Republic.
The late Treaty in the universal estimate OF the civil
zed world extngulshes all dangers from this source,
for il provides obvious and innocuous substitute
for the dangerous object and policy Of the Quinuple
Treaty. The treaty Of Is42 will be remembered in
| history a triumph Of American diplomacy, which
has counterpart unless in the Treaty of lndepen-
dence. The pacific policy which accords with the
interests and wishes of the people, and which Mr..
Tyler promised TO pursue he has faithfully and sue
cessfully observed
Second 10 his address Mr.. Tyler says, "the ten
dency of all human institutions is 10 concentrate
power in the hands Of a single man" al deem it Of
the most essential importance that complete sepa-
ration should take place between the purse and the
sword" "a permanent and radical change should
therefore be decreed.n
In obedience TO these principles the President
promptly approved the bill altering, not repeating,
the sub-lreasuryn scheme. This repeating bill,
| however, retained all the penal enactments Of the
Sub-lreasury act" guarding the public money
| from the unislthuness OF the public agents The
national treasure is now kept under the provisions of
this repeating act and Of the act Of l7S9 sanctioned
| by the sages Of tie revolution.
The purse and the sword eiIectually divorced.
| Even the Chairman Of the Committee Of Ways and
Means in the late House Of Representatives, has
Gently pronounced the conviction Of that Committee,
that the public treasure sufficiently protected I'M
der the present laws.
Third. The address declares the public interest
demands that # any war has existed between the gov
erlment and the currency, II shall cease The last
two years has been period Of unceasing struggle
the part Of Mr. Tyler TO carry out this conservative
policy. All that MIR Tyler could do II restore conf
dence has been done. The sound State Banks
used repositories. The Treasury dues paid IN
the common currency Of the people-the notes OF
sound spcciepaying banks Treasury notes, and gold
and silver. The war Of the government upon the
! currency-on credit and conhdcncc--h ceased IL
remains for Congress to perfect the restoration Of
confidence. All that the President could accomplish
in the exercise of Executive discretion this sub
ject he has done The responsibility Of doing or ne
gecting TO do any thing further abides with The re-
representatives. Of The people. will show hereafter
that upon them this responsibility is by past events
irrevocably fixed
Fourth. The address says 81 shall promptly give
