Tyler is President without party, aud ne
yer can be sus' aimed Let the other candidates
alone; you will easily gull them by sel<'ns
upon the Convention. Tyler must be oe,
nouneed, or he may steal away our rank ana
flem
Have we not said enough TO show how utter
~ at a loss a Bentonian must be TO comprehehu
tue honesty Of purpose which alone has a''ua-
Ted President Tyler, regardless Of party lnhu-
ence Blu. we go still further, aud venture to
say in his behalf, tn Al so long as such influence
shall require him TO depart from a strict eonsrIc-
ton of the Constitution, and conscientious dis
charge Of his duties, he will nerer regard II,
There is, however, state Of things now ex-
isting, and which has been for some time in pro
gress of which the Salamancers of party knew
nothing because they so merely for party, keep
aloof from the People, and rely upon machinery.
We could easily point TO many ndlces to show
that the masses OF the p ople are not now moved
by machinery, and that President Tyler and his
Administrator find great favor with Them
Twelve States have d. cided against the Maebl-
nsls, TO hold The Convention in May, IA, and not
IN November 43; and in the State OF Ntw
York, where the machinery had been set TO
work under the special superintendent OF Mr..
Van Buren, himself, il has proved failure. An
attempt was made TO drill the Ohio Legislature
into the support Of Mr. Van Buren,, and moi
more than five or six members could be found
of that school The strongest Wing district 10
Virginia has reelected Mr.. Wise, and Bots rs
left al home 10 die when he pleases, all hope OF
heading Cant Tylar having Seaseu. but we
have carried our remarks further than we at first
intended Our object was merely to show, that
neither the fury of Col. Benton, The mendacily
of the Globe, nor the WHY arts OF the sage OF
Lindenu old, could succeed in hoodwinking the
Democracy of the country.
No move is made by the MACHlNlSTSt that
is not known and fully understood not merely
BY politicians, but by the real workies OF the
whole country and in May, IA, when the ques-
ton of Who is to be the nominee? shall be pre-
sented TO a Convention ell cIed by Congress
sional districts, with directions from their con-
stiluents to go into ballot "per CAPITA" though
we pretend not to say who will be selected, Pre-
sdent TYLER will be prominent candidate and
none the less acceptable. that he has ever pur-
sued an honest and independent course, placing
his confidence IN the intelligence of his fellow
citizens, and caring nothing for the machinery
of party.

LATER FROM CAPE PALMAs,

BY the barque Globe we have adyces from Can.
Palmas as late as the 2lst of February, at wh,cs
time the Maryland Colony was in its usual prospero
and healthy condition.
Governor Russwurm, under the above date write,
Since my dispatches by the Atalanta nothing of u.
terest has occurred 10 disturb the even tenor of our
way. Your colonists are making themselves moyr
comfortable every day.
"The coffee plants are all doing finely and t,a
success which has crowned Mr.. d. Wilson's labor,
encourages others to perseyere. Our cotton on the
public farm looks better than have ever before seen
Our corn crop has also turned out better than any
previously. The seed Of it was obtained from Cane
Coat

Besides our free school No. / we have had ul-
weekly sewing school for the last six months
"Our prospects fair for erecting lighthouse
on the Cape during this year from the anchorage mo-
ney collected from vessels. The lantern has already
been sent forn
Stephen Smith--an old colonist who went out in
1885, built his house and returned for his W fe whom
he took out with him in the Globe-writes
" am happy TO find the wonderful improvement
here; the Colony is in fourshing state and all the
emgrants feel themselves at home and are happy
and we all desire that our friends would come out as
possible"
BY other letters from emigrants by the barQuc
Globe, we have similar and hatterng accounts Of The
Colony, and OF their entire satisfaction with their
home.
We are panied, however, to learn, through Dr..
McGill, of the loss of Capt James Lauder and wife
and one child on the passage out, misfortune I'M
precedented in the history of emigration to the Co.
iony But while we have to deplore his loss both to
the Colony AID his family we are not panied by the
reflection that il was caused by the climate of Africa
DR. McGill writes" MIR. Lauder stuck nail in h,
foot; the wound healed up, but erysipeas followed
which could not be subdued, aud terminated fatally
The old man in his last moments declared he did not
regret having started, and said he felt far vii
ling TO die on his way to Africa than to live longer
IN America He was buried on shore the day after
our arrival. Margaret Lauder, his wife, died in
consequence Of continued seasckness, added to her
delicate situation otherwise. Scarcely child on
board escaped the whoopng cough, mumps and mea-
sizes. Much credit is due to Stephen Smith, who was
of the greatest assistance 10 me- be ing rusty intell

There has been published, in the New Hamp-
shire State sman, letter dated at Washington,
March 10, l843, from person named ID. ID.
Allison 10 a Mrs. -, at Concord, New
Hampshire, in which The writer represents that
he had been employed as a clerk in the Pension
Office for the last Ten years, and offers TO es-
tablish the claim of the lady TO a pension OF
$500 or 5000 per annum, for compensation OF
Is per cent His letter has been republisbed OF
noticed in various other papers, and a TRADE OF
abuse has been put forth against the Admins
Talion of the General Government for The al
legged abuse of his situation, by one Of the sub
ordinales in the Pension Office.
Whilst we think thai old soldiers and cid sol
dier's widows are the last subjects upon whom
any one ought TO speculate, it is but justice to
the Commissioner OF Pensions, and those en-
ployed under him, TO say that Mr.. Allison rs
not a clerk in that office. He was clerk there
formerly, but was discharged from it several
months before The letter in question is dated.

this affair enormously, have the magnanimity TO
correct the error, by the republication of this

HE Is A TRAITOR
Wing Orators and .NtuPapes- passip,.

John Tyler traitor! who are they
That thus traduce his name p
The fawning parasites Of Clay,
Imperyious TO shame
The blind idolators of him,
Whose once bright star, now pale and dim,
Shines with feeble fame,
And with faint, delusive ray
Leads its weak followers astray
John Tyler tratorl-when and how
What-whom has he betrayed
What unAept pIedge-what broken vow
Can 10 his charge be laid
Where are the foul and damning blots
OF treachery where the blackening spots,
That with their darkness shade
The lustre Of his early fame
He honored and untarnished namei
IL il be treachery to have stood
Firm as the earth-bound rock,
Unmoved by party's raging flood
The whrlwnd and the shock
OF mad ambition in its hour
OF thwarted hate and humbed power
The bitter jeer-the mo,k
OF hollow friends who strove to rule
BY making him their plant tool -
If it be treachery to have been
Untrammeled by the nets
Spread for him by designing men,
Unterrifed by threats
Unawed by curses loud and deep,
And all that blistered tongues could heap
OF bitter epithets,-
Unmoved, unfaltering, unsubdued
His cynosure his country's good -
If this be treachery, then indeed
The traitors path is one
All honest men would love to tread,
All demagogues would stun r
IT'S the same broad and glorious road
The fathers Of our freedom trod,
When liberty was won -
The path that leads to fame-renown-
A nations thanks, "a civic crown
But no, these are the muttcrings
OF disappointed men,
Vile SANDERS base imaginings,-
The fgment Of train,
That, with diseased and feverish eye
Looks on all virtue as a lie,
All honest scruples vain,-
The murmurings Of an angry few,
Whose hopes have vanished as the dew,
Al d he, whose glory they would dim,
Whose fame they would abuse,
Whose name they make The synonymc
OF treachery and Disgrace
Like the proud eagle, wings his fight
Upward to that empyrean height,
When ISLANDERS vile and base
No more can cloud The acts that shed
Their brilliant halo round his had.
