PRESIDENT

PRESIDENT TYLER AND HIS SUPPORTERS.
There are large portion OF the mocrat C party
who have for some time urged the claims Of Mr. Ty.
Ter to be ranked among the most str nuous and con
sstent champions Of democracy in the United States
His whole political career from his first outset IN pub
lie life up to the present time, has been one Of pure
devotion 10 the republican cause. He early aud ca
gery embraced the principles Of the ilustrious JEFF
ierson, and while chorshng and sustaining those
principles he placed in the highest official station
in the gift Of the People. Since his elevation 10 the
Presidency, has whole object has been TO carry out
those principles in every department Of our govern
ment in the face Of the most determined opposition
and Encouragement. Notwithstanding the consis-
tency and purity Of his political life, Notwithstanding
he has stood side by side with the most prominent
men in the republican ranks, in defending the Con-
stuton and all those great principles which every
friend Of liberty s proud TO cherish, yet he has been
assailed not only By his sworn and federal enemies
but by certain seCstyled leaders, and reckless and
designing pariisans in the democratic ranks.
Certain pr, sses, too, which have long euogized in
unmeasured terms, the distinguished services and
character of the President, have Of late become so
insensate and bigoted in their devotion 10 individual
interests that they have abandoned their original and
true position, AMI now exhibit hostility to Mr.. Ty-
Ter, une5uallcd by his most bitter and determined
federal enemies But notwithstanding the abuse OF
those whom he has saved, as il were from impending
ruin, and whose fortunes at one time deeply
oyershadowed he has gone forward with unfaulterng
frmncss UNFOLDING with firm grasp, the true prin
cipes Of democracy as eKpOundcd by those illu'tr-
Gus patriots, Jefferson, Madison and Jackson.
Almost every week It is our agreeable task 10 re-
cord the spontaneous expressions Of respect and
6dcnce which the course Of Mr. Tyler has elected
from the most distinguished democrats as well as the
great body Of the democracy, in almost every section
of the Union

TREASURY NOTES.


The new emission Of Treasury notes is be-
ginning TO attract considerable attention among
commercial men, and they will soon form, with
out doubt, incidentally, large proportion of our
circulating medium, as they are well calculated
for making payments at the different points Of
the Union. Bearing an interest of only one
mill capitalists have no inducements to hoard
them up as an investment and while they,
from this and other causes, will enter into gene
raj circulation, they will become, it appears TO
us, a lavorite currency with the People, and
will save TO the General Government, and Of
course to the People the sum of three or four
hundred thousand dollars, in interest alone
This is an important desideratum, particularly
at this time, and should not be lost sight of in
discussing the merits Of this national subject
The authority by which they are issued is the
act Of Congress Of March Sd, 1843
This act provides that when any Of the Urea
sury notes then outstanding shall be redeemed,
at any time before the first day Of July, 1874, the
Secretary of the Treasury "may cause other
notes 10 the same amount to be issued, in place
of such as may be redeemed under the limita-
tons and other provisions Of the respective acts
by which said notes were originally authorized
and issued" These Limitations and provisions
are that The notes should not be of denomina-
ton less than fifty dollars, and should bear in
terest at rate not exceeding six per cent.
The authority for the issue, which some per-
sons have seen fit TO deny, it will be seen is fully
established and sustained, and the Secretary of
the Treasury, Mr. Spencer, instead Of going to
the extent OF the limit in reference to the ques-
ton ofinterest, has very judiciously and wisely,
we think, reduced them to the very lowest posi-
bic rate We are unable at this time 10 60 into
general discussion Of this question; but we
find in the Madsonian, says the Evening Post
a statement Of the operations of the Treasury
Department in relation to these notes, together
with some reasons that may have induced Mr..
Spencer 10 adopt the form of the present issue.
II is as follows:
Here follows our article.
As this financial measure OF the Treasury
Department is the subject Of good deal Of dis
cussiou among our commercial classes, and
looked upon generally we believe, with 1avo-
rable eve, we shall refer TO the measure on some
future occasion

NEW YORK ELECTION.

The Globe, Of yesterday, in making up its
election returns, endorses statement in the
Herald, that Mike Walsh's ticket, which receiv-
ed only about $50 votes, was supported by the
"Tyler party" Mike Walsh is not in favor
of Mr. Tyler, as his first choice-we infer this
from his own declarations. In the next place,
there are or 5000 voters in the city of New
Yoik who prefer Mr.. Tyler first. But the
Globes vocation is to assert palpable falsehoods,
and to drive as many Democrats as possible out
of the party. ItneUer assas the Wings. This
conduct, we may presume, is to be rewarded by
Mr. Clay. One SPY in The enemys camp is
often of more service than thousands of undis-
guised soldiers in the field of combat Whether
the Globes course will receive the appreciation
Of Mr.. Van Buren, and his friends, will be known
in good time.
We proceed to give an estimate of the popu-
lar vote in the different counties, correcting our
table Of yesterday, which was inaccurate:

The election Of Printer devolves on The
House of Representatives, at this session the
party has many estinabe men in its ranks, lel
the House choose any Of them but the Globe,
and we shall be satisfied. We have said this
much TO call the attention Of our editorial bTeth-
rem to the subject let them one and all speak
out on this matter, and thus save the Democracy
from the disgrace Of having such filthy
Sheet" and polluted editor as the organ Of the
House.

Had it not been for Mr. Clay's dsgraceiul bar

The bargain never would have been made
Mr.. Adams never would have, been President
Mr.. Clay never would have been Secretary Of
Stale the Old Hero would never have been
cheated out Of his just rights-had IL not been

The vote of Kentucky decided the matter;
the delegation from Kentucky was equally di-
vided; Mr.D- White, Democrat, after holding
out some lime was induced by Mr.. Blair to go
over" 10 Mr.. Clay. The authority for this as
sertion is Mr. Whites own confession.

Among the pleasing incidents connected with the
manifestations of respect and regard shown by our
citizens TO General BERTRAND the occasion Of his
recent brief visit to Baltimore il affords us gratica
ton to reler to one which only came TO our know
ledge yesterday. The General and his suite, it is
known, were accommodated with elegant apartments
and all their attendant appliances, at the City Hotel,
and every attention was paid 10 the comfort Of the
ilustrious guest On the morning Of the day Of his
departure when the General sent for his bin for the
purpose Of liquidating il, the call was answered by
the worthy landlord in person. He stated to has
guest with an honest oandor and unsolicited feeling OF
manner which showed bow sincerely re heart was IN

compensstion-that the high esteem in which he held

nation for their important and TO tins country in the
Revolutionary struggle, which had been impressed
upon him when boy by father who was himself
engaged in that strugglo-Wero all considerations
which prompted him 10 say that the bill was already
discharged. This ayowal, made in the manner and
terms Just stated, anything but what the General
was prepared for, but his subsequent efforts TO effect

POWERS, THE SCULPTOR.

late letter from Hiram Powers, the sculptor 10
his brothers in New Yo,k, dated at Florence, Italy,
states that he has at last finished his divine creation
Of Eve and has laid aside his chisel, so far as that
piece Of sculpture is concerned, believing that he
can do nothing more towards its improvement This
work will be sent TO the United States, notwthstand
ing the offers made for its purchase by Italian
noblemen because It was his first composition ofmag-
nltudc he unJertook and his first his fayorite,
he therefore wishes it TO belong 10 his own country.
On the completion Of the statue Of Mr.. Calhoun,
which will require about three months, the " Even
and the Nuiher will be sent from Italy together.
This latter statue is TO be paid for by some of the
personal friends Of Mr.. Calhoun in his own State,
and is as large as life.
Powers has for a long time been engaged on some
great work in secret not even his most intimate
friends are acquainted with the subject he has chosen
but on which he seems willing 10 rest his reputation
as a sculptor This together with the Greek Cap
tive" will perhaps never be seen in the United States,
as he intends sending them to London for exhibition
and sale as soon as they are completed.
