Inc washington correspondent OF N, 4, Au-
rOra and Union, who is understood 10 be no less O
parsonage than Robert Tyler, Esq. and who is AT
any rate quite thick with that genlleman's ex~
eJnpary father, thus announces the purpose OF
the Executive:
"The motto upon our banner now is, THOSE
WHO ARE NOT WITH US ARE AGAINST u.s. We
,0ant reSoluie aid; aud if public o6icers, now in
place, toW not endd helping hand in The hour Of tn
al, others can be found who will Let incumbens
prepare 10 aid this Administration in its great NOR
dtetorfS, or prepGe 10 surrender their keys to
others, more deserving and more patriotic"
Reader could you believe that this emennes
from the John Tyler who solemnly declared in
his inaugural Address:
Z" The patronage incidental TO The Presidential
Office, already great, is constantly increasing
such increase is destined TO keep pace with the
growth of our population, until without figure
of speech, an army Of Office holders may be
spread over The land. The unresrained power
cXered by selfshy ambitious man, in order CT
her 10 pepeiuate his authority, or hand it over 10
some tavoule as his Successor, may lead 10 the
employ Of all The means in his control 10 &c.
compish his Object The right 10 remove from Of

taby destined TO produce spirit of crouchtng Str-
utility 0ith The obciaL corps, which, in order to up
hold the hand that feeds them, would lead to d.

Executive Officer, and making The will Of thai,
officer absolute and supreme. 1 will, at proper
time, invoke the action Of Congress upon this
subject and shall readily acquiesce in the adop-
ton OF all proper measures which are calculated
arrest those evils SO full OF danger in their ten
dency. | will remove no incumbent from Office
who has faithfully aud honestly acquitted himself
of the duties of his Office, except in such cases as
where such officer has been guilty OF an active
parlizanship, or bv secret neans-lhe less manly,
and therefore the more observation-disclosures given
his official influence TO the purposes Of party, there
by bringing The puronageo of Government in conflict
,Uih The freedom of elections. Numerous removals
may become necessary under this rule. These
will be made by Inc through no acerbty l have
no cause 10 cherish or indulge unkud feelings
toward any, but my conduct will be regulated by
a profund sense of what is due to the country and
lis institutions: nor shall | neglect to apply the
same unbending rule to those OF my own appoint
ment Freedom Of opinion tuiI be tolerated, the full
enjoyment Of the right Of suffrage YH be maintained
as The birhrght Of every American citizen, hut say
emphacaIly to the official corps, thus far and no
farther"
tho could believe that John Tyler of l64l,
the author or borrower of these genuine wing
sentiments, could be the John Tyler of lS43, who
is turning out unexceptlonabIe pnblic officers be-
cause they attend strictly 10 their business and,
intermeddling not at all with political differences,
are accused of being atheart hostile TO the admin
: istraton Y-As il the bare possession of heart
was not Incompatible with any feeling but hostlli-
ty toward such an Administration Yes this is
the same John Tyler, but how lost how fallen
how devoid of every element of honorable
manhood or envable fame
Thus conclusiyely does the New York Tribune
show that John Tyler has been lreacherous to his
own professions, made even since his accession tc
the Presidential chair We wish to improve thin
occasion for another purpose: it is 20 impress up
on our readers the important truths, that until tin
President is limited to single term, and the con
stltutional check of the Senate over Executive APP
ponmenis is restored and honestly aud faithfully
applied, freedom Of opinion will not be tolerated
and the elections cannot be pure Until then
prescription for opinions sake and official cor
ruption will be the order of the day p the Exec.
utiye will bride support with his patronage, ant
public officers, from the highes, to the lowest, in
stead of conducting as honest and faithful pub
lie servants, will become the subservenl tools O
the President and public punderers. These wer
part of the evils complained of for years by tn
Wing party, aud loudly condemned by the peopl
in l640. 1t was TO remedy these evils, that tn
Wings inscribed among their leading principle
" One Presidential Tenn" Now more srongl
than ever, is it incumbent upon them to abide b
that doctrine, and press il home upon The peopl
OF all parties,
