10 the Editor II ~ Mrs. iork Pisbslaa
No one more fully appreciates the political course
mud sound republican principles ably advocated ny
The Plebelon than the writer Ut this communication
Al the time must frankly declare that inc
course pursued by the editors of the Plebcssn III re-
ference to the national administration Is not IN my
opinion, calculated to promote the best interests oil
tie Democratic party, and consequently must, 70
certain extent endanger our success At the next rre-
sdentia election, For, II justice not fully award.
ed to the true defenders and faithful supporters Of
Democratic principles the enemies Of those Princi-
pies will sooner or later prevail.
Il we look at the measures Of this administration,
with our minds fully Invested Of political preudces,
which, to certain extent must operate upon all po-
litcians, we shall find that Mr. Tyler has, with The
most unwayering fidelity, adhered 10 oil cardinal
measures VI the republican party. Being profsssed
disciple Of Jefferson he has all occasions nobly
sustained the principles OF that illusrious man. a
very brief view Of the most prominent acts OF the
administration will fully sustain in this opinion
n ever there occasion calculated 10 test the
mistaken devotion OF q statesman, 10 those principles
which he considered important to the welfare OF his
country, that occasion most certainly existed when
he vetoed the National Bank bill Ii Gen. Jackson
covered himself with unfading rcnown, by the patr
otto stand he took in opposition TO the establishment
Of such institutions then impartial history will ac-
cord to Mr.. Tyler ut least equal share Of the gra-
,tude Of posterity. TO my mind, the infexible firm
ness and patriotism Of President Tyler in vetong the
Bank bill which presented for his signature, me-
rlts the everlasting gratitude of our country The
republican party ought also 10 hold that act OF his
in grateful remembrance, for in all probability il re-
stored that party to power throughout the whole
country
Again, when he vetoed the Land Distribution bill,
bill fraught with glaring corruption and mi
putty than any other ever presented for the consde-
ration Of Chief Magstrate-he evinced o Republic
frmness and devotion to principle deserving the
highest commendation-
Without entering into an examination of all the
prominent acts of this Administration, il will be
sufficient to say that in every instance he had faith
fully maintained the true principles of the Consttn-
ton. Let no one be prejudced against the man
simply because at one time, prior to his filling the
Presidential chair he felt it to be his duty to oppose
some Of the measures Of a former Administration.
II Mr.. Tyler deemed some of the acts Of the Repub-
lican party at particular time, not calculated to
promote the best interests Of the country, let 1t be re-
membered that other statesmen, now enjoying the
fullest confidence Of the party, also opposed those
measures. No one can doubt the pure Republican
ism and exalted patriotism Of J. hn G. Calhoun yet,
at the same time he acted in full concert with John
Tyler.
No one dare call in question the Democracy and
the unsullied patriotism Of Andrew Jackson yet this
ustrious patriot of Democracy was at one time a
candidate for the Presidency in opposition to the re-
gularly nominated candidate of the party. ! men
ton these things to show that an occasional dite-
renee Of opinion among Republicans should not for
ALLEVIATE them from each other. Differences OF
opinion must always exist in Republican Govern
ment.
If we turn our a,tention.to the Cabinet, we shall
find that President Tyler has for his councillors the
most eminent and distinguished men Of the nation =
All Of them advocating the purest republican doc
trDe, and supporting with all their energies the best
interests Of their country. They openly proclaim
their determination to sustain the democratic party
and democratic measures. The business Of all theiI
departments never perhaps in such admirable
order as the present time. The Treasury Depart
ment, under MIR. Spencer, deserves the particular
commentator of the people. Mr.. Spencer being a
New Yorker by birth and education, and ardcntly at
| tached TO his native State we should be allowed tO
| feel some pride that Of statesmen fills
with so much honor to himself, and credit 10 his
country of the most important posts in the gov
eminent 1t is due to truth and justice to say that
since the formation of our government the Office Of
Secretary of the Treasury has never been filled with
equal ability and industry combined together. And
| knowing as | do that Mr. Spencer has been among
The most ardent in his exertions TO make the admin
Istration COMO strictly to democratic principles,
feel the deepest regret to find him so frequently as
sailed By some Of -cuarSct6r oil
this Administration, protesting be Democratic in
all its measures, and openly avowing its determine
ton 10 stand fall with the Democracy of the coun-
try would most respectfully inquire whether the
true interests OF country, and the success Of the
Republican party al the next Presidential election,
can possibly be promoted by constantly assailing the
men and measures Of the National Government? We
can only succeed BY cultiyating good feelings and
harmonious action among all the supporters Of Re-
publican principles II we allow personal prefer
ences 10 interfere In the great in which we are
all engaged, we shall learn, too late that we have
permitted our enemies TO triumph, and the hopes of
patriotism TO be blasted and destroyed perhaps for.
ever.
