MR.. TYLER'S DEMOCRACY.

In pursuing our design of quoting certain
Democratic authorities against the Globes
charges Of " freachery y" renegadsm," .sapos-
tacy," &c. made against The President, we shall
take good care that the authors of the produc-
lions from which our extracts are made, shall be
genuine, ''true blue" Democrats themselves,
and men Of such standing and influence that
the Globe will not be likely TO assail them. If
any Of them, however should be assailed by
the Globe, we stand pledged to repel It's attacks.
We quote from Mr.. BENToS's speech on the
appointment of Select Committee on the
Fiscal Corporation" Mr.. Benton, after sta
ting his objections to the committee, most mag
unanimously proceeded thus
"These are my objections to the commttee--all
Of one side, and sll Juniors. They emphaticaly
Of one side. do not know exactly how many sides
politics have at present but, it is certain Demo
cracy has friend on this committee IT is pretty
certain the President has and il is quite certain
that the Fcderalsts have ALL venture the assertion
that the President has my assertion subject TO
be corrected by the developments Of the ensuing
fortnight A fortnight will tell. In the time
say all things considered, there should have been
member upon il friendly to President Ty ler-one
at least for him--one for us-and three for them
With this would have been content Without
this we are discontinued; and that, not personally
but for the sake Of fair play and the public good.
appeal TO the public 10 say, y the Democracy and the
President have been served right in this business p
Whether the country has been served right Whe-
Their the bank party has not got advantage in this
committee which helps il, and hurts us :"
Mr.. BENTON next associates Mr.. Tyler with
General Jackson in good deeds:
"May we not call this corporosity the meal.tub
Bank A catfish name would certainly suit IT in one
particular for, like cat, 1t has many lives and
cat you know, must be killed nine times before it
will de say the traditions Of the nursery and Of
all histories the traditions Of children are the most
veracious. They teach that cats have nine lives
So Of this Bank. IL has been killed several times
but here it is still, scratching, biting, and clawing
Jackson killed it in 1892; Tyler killed IL last reek.-
But this is only beginning. Seven times more the
FaRs must cut the thread OF IFS hydra life before IL
will yield up the ghost"
In the Appendix TO the Congressional Globe
page 200, July, 1871, we find, when working his
awful battcring ram against the Fiscal Bank, MIR.
Benton thus bore testimony TO Mr.. Tyler's con-
sistency. and fals6ed the Globes assertions of
the Presidents ueacbery to Mr.. Clay, Mr.
Blsr's " old friend and connexion by marriage -
There lives not earth, so long and so
deeply committed against a National Bank as Mr.
Tyler not even General Jackson, or Thomas III

unconstitutional iDexpedient unnecessary corrupt in

lion Of Mr. Tyler, than that Of General Hair
rison can be claimed as Bank triumph. Jus, the
contrary. They stood before the country, both OF
them, so far as their Bank opinions were visible as
anti-Bank candidates"
Mr.. Benton continued:
We will crush them like glass Here is a war
Of lie and death between the Federasts and Demo.
Gratis. This Bank is a WAR MEASURE upon the
Dcmocracy-intended TO crush and destroy ibem.-
1t the Trojan horse Of Federalism its belly filled.

MIR. Benton was glad to say "wen then
