CONGREss-THE WHIGD-PREsiDENT
TYLER


The present Coegrss u rapidly drawing 70 close.
the fourth Of Mssek asxt being the period Of its ter
minaton, and very litale has bcen accomplished BY
H. 70 ad ance the solM interests Of the county
Various projects Of reform have been recommended
only he discussed 10 spirit Of heated passion aud
personal snlnosity, aud then rejected. The Wings
with majority in both branches OF the national le-
glsaiurv have failed to redeem the pledges upon the
strength of which they received their places. They
seem to have forgotten entirely the great purposes
the momentous objects Of their official station-and
have occupied themselves in inyentng siratagems To
lhwart the President defeat his measures and IL pos
sibe force him 10 yacate his Office and surrender 10
more plant hands the high trusts reposed in him by
the people. They have spared no efforts To pcryert
his views misrepresent his motives and traduce his
character in order TO tasien upon him the contempt
| and Indignation Of the public. Every petty device
which mpotent malice could suggest, has been press
ed into their service 10 embarrass his ofhciai acton
annoy him personally and render his position one OF
intolerable endurance Nor have they been alone In
this fierce, pro,racted and most extraordinary as
saut upon MIR. Tyler, and his administration. Wings
and wing journals throughout the whole Union, sec
onded their efforts aud joined in the crusade against
him, with all the obsnacy Of bgots and the zeal oil
fanatics without any Of their virtues; and it is mat
ter Of wonder that he should have sustained himself
as he has, against influence potent, SO wide
spread, and all-peryadng, that which has been
exerted against him. since his accession to the Pres-
the Wings impudently insist that the President is
| amenable for the omissions of Congress. Upon him
they seek to cast the entire responsibility of their own
| msdeeds and their fragrant neglect of the public
welfare. Against this, we protest in the name of
truth and justice. They. alone and not the Presi-
dent, accountable and they cannot by subter-
fuge false and shallow, escape the odium which
justly rests upon them. They have rushed on reck-
lessly and furousy, regardless of every dictate Of
,ropriety to position which they have found to be
any thing but desirable, and they would now exiri-
ate themselves from it, by heapng additional insult
and injury upon the President. But they cannot re-
nsye themselves by such expedient. They must
go into the next great campaign with all their sins
upon their head. They cannot shake them Oh at
pleasure, lay them at the door Of the President
They have been fahess to their pledges and faith
less TO the people, and they must for it at the
day of political retribution. That day approach
ing, and in view Of it let it be remembered by all
that it is the WING PARTY, and not the President,
that has been false 10 the country and eacherous to
lis honor and lis interests. We would lodge this
truth deeply in the mind for it is the game of the
Clay wings to produce contrary impression. 1t is
clearly their design TO lead the people of, false
scent-to cover up their own iniquites and short
comings, by clamoring against the Executive. With
blind iniatuaiion incredible, they have sought to
pull down, rather than build up; and to destroy,
rather than support the administration. All their en-
ergies and all their powers have been most industr
ousy directed TO thai end and they should be held to
strict accountability They charge Mr.. TYLER
with ingratitude and treachery, because he has APP
pointed to, and retained democrats in office. 1t is
true he has refused to turn out many democratic post
masters, and he has reinstated some, who had been
elected to make room for abolitionsts Clay whgs
who are decidedly hostile to his administration For
this, he deserves commentator rather than censure
Ii should be borne in mind, that nothing of this kind
was done, until after the whole Wing camp had
opened their batteries upon HIM. They began the
savage warfare and urged it with the greatest des
peralion. Devlcs to head him-impeachments--
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. abuse-low ribadry and invec-
tive, were the weapons employed to force him into
compliance with their arbitrary behests. But be has
nobly sustained himself against their combined at
tacks, and Notwithstanding all their efforts, still
stands erect before the nation bold, honest, and
independent Chief Magistrate.
