THE PRESIDENCY AND MR.. TYLER.
We notice a disposition ON the part Of a portion
of the Democratic press 10 regard The President as
an enemy, and to deny any right on the part oil ms
friends TO present his name in the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, notwithstanding his measures
and his feelings evidently in our favor. WIN

vet beech shown that he was the advocate OF those
principles which give character TO the Wing party
In changing his political alliances he did not change
his opinions, and that he has proven the ia'tn,
lessnoss Of his late friends it is natural that ne should
desire to leave them for those with whom he acted IN
years gone by. And he has shown his faith by his
works His vetoes Of the Bank bills ought to cover

of the pa ty aud action corresponding with such pro-
fesson. Pre- ident Tyler's organ at Washington, IN
announcing him candidate for reelection, gives
summary of his opinions in the following words
mo Bank Revenue Tarif-no Distribution
| no Aboluionsm-a strict construction OF the Con-
st,tution, as by Jetlerson-no Public Debt-an eco
nomcal administration of Public Adairs-and Uni
yersal Suffrage with Universal Education"
This is good Democratic doctrine, and so long a.
il is carried out in good faith by present Chief

There are various charges Of corruption against
President Tyler in the alleged comforting OF Office 10

pointing power be proven it will 90 against the MT
ness of the incumbent without affecting his abstract
political opinions. These will be judged Of by the

We are not the advocate especial friend OF Pre-
sident Tyler. Our preference among the candidates
for the Presidency has heretofore been frankly
expressed. But like TO see just and liberal sPr
