or 10 the excilenent Of enterprise, brave every
dagger of the sea, Of the storm, or stll more
savage man. The lowering walls Of the lhck-
ribbed ice, that threaten each moment 10 crush
Wi their impenetrable mass the frai vessel,
terify them not-nor DO the scorching rays oil
meridian suns destroy their energies. Heat nor
cold Restraints them-sotude deiers them not
nor do places ever visited by dreadful storms IN
terrupt their course. The unerring instinct of
gain urges them on. For this, in honorable in
tenion, they clreumnavigale the globe-ior this,
they are acclimated in every land-tor this, they

Ganges-have approached the fabulous walls of

of the Polar ice.
The blessings Of good Government are not
circumscribed in their influence by the bounda-
rles OF the land IT superintendent citizen
feels lis influence wherever he may be thrown
and the confidence and convic ion Of their far
ton, aud entities him to success. 1t behooves,
then, every citizen, who honestly loves his coun-
try, to consider well the measures of It's rulers.
If they be such as render hat country prospe-
rous, let those who devised and perfected them
be alike esteemed; but ii, on the contrary, the
country anguishes and sickens, let the Execu-
tive and Administrative officers of the Govern
menl be held responsible
"THE MORNING REGISTER" published at New
Bedford, holds a candid and frank language in
reply 10 the Wing papers in Massachusetts,,
which are guilty of the extreme folly and non
sense Of charging the Democracy of that region
with having sold themselves to John Tyler
In addition to what the Register says, we deem
il proper TO remark that, if John Tyler could
believe so poorly Of his countrymen as that
| they could be bought he would not, we are con-
fident. deem them worthy TO be purchased
He wants no venal support in the conduct Of
his Administration. Nay, further: if the Pre-
sidency. was 10 be brought into market and
struck off to the highest bidder, he would not
be competitor al such an auction. No. The
Presidency should be the reward voluntarily
bestowed Ly The people for high public and pri-
waite virtue. We say the voluntary reward.
The Peoples own free gift, which, in the Ian
guage Of great statesman who is now no
more, should neither be sought nor declined"
Ia selecting agents TO assist him in the admins
tration of the Government, he naturally and ne
cessarlly appoints those to office who cordially
concur with him in his general views of policy,
so as TO present an harmonious action in the
Government itself.
Those who are in close association with his
llbellers and detamers, and who would rejoice
with them in the failure Of all his recommends
lions 10 Congress, and in the adoption of all ex-
pedients TO embarass him-such men canno,
be relied on IN any way to aid the Executive in
its patriotic intentions. No machine could
work if the various wheels did net act in bar
mony-so Government itself would come TO a
stand STILL Mr.. Tyler has called Republicans
of all parties TO his aid because he is a Repub-
can, and all his measures are based upon the
principles of Republicansm.
But we have word of Inquiry TO address to
the Register. 1t processes 10 give support TO
the Administrator in all Democratic mea sures,
and no more; and thus leaves ii to be inferred
that Mr.. Tyler will recommend measures not
DemocFailc. Now we want 10 unde rstand the
Register more thoroughly. VIII the editor be so
obligng as 10 define what he regards to be the
principles of The Democracy? And, having
done SO, will be be good enough 10 tel u, in
what Mr.. Van Buren, or NJ Calhoun is De
mocrat (the old wo.d when it had somewhat
more OF meaning than ii has now, was Repub-
can,) and Mr.. Tyler not? Pray tell US, and
tell the country this, and edify your readers good
Mr.. Register viii you go back to the war
and run your comparison up to this moment,
and tell Us which of the three has been most
consistent in the advocacy Of republican prin-
ciples We would have the ergiversalous of
John Tyler expo ed and the. Immaculate purity
of others made known TO the People Doubt
less, Mr.. Register, John Tyler did assist in
btaling Mr.. Van Buren, in 1910 bat does that
prove him to have been less a Republican than
he was before, or has been since Did Mr.
Van Buren's advocacy Of Mr.. Clinton against
Mr.. Madison, during the war, or Mr.. Calhoun's
opposition o General Jackson and afterward To
Mr.. Van Buren, undemocrat re either2 Shame
on Republican editor to prate after such fash
ion! Come out boldly, man, and say that you
prefer Mr.. Van Buren,, or Mr.. Calhoun, or Mr.
any-one-olse, for the Presidency, and no body
will question your right TO do so, or your since
riry in doing it. or will think anything the less
Of YOU; but TO mouth about pTiRcipie-to
whine about measures-to rail at the Ex-
chequer, which we opine you never read,
and if you read, failed TO digest. Give il
up, and in future, instead of delivering a set Of
unmeaning phrases, put under the name OF
John Ter the following well known lines:
do not like thee DR.. Fell
The reason why cannot tell
But this know full well
| do not like thee, Dr. Fell.
