PRESIDENT TYLER-No. s.

In nothing is the false hearted malignity of the
speudo Wing pary-as well as its startling inconss-
tency more evlnced, than in the Storm of vindicve
abuse, which they continue TO shower upon the Pre-
sident of the people because in the exercise of his
undoubted prerogative, he has thought proper from
time to timr, 10 make removals from, and appoint.
ments to office We heard none Of this fury directed
towards GRANGER, who in the course of little less
than fortnight decimaed seuenteen hundred Posinas
te's-and after his resignation, boosted that had he
retained Office three weeks longer he would have
swelled the list TO three thousand! Why slumbered
the Wing press-why that party silent, when
hecatombs OF victims were offered up to appease the
spirit of faction and gorge the ravenous swarm Of
otce-seekers whose importantly and persecution, it
is too probable harassed General Harrison even unto
death? Where then was their sympathy-why slept
their thunders wi list prescription unparalleled in
the history of the Government was stalking with gil
ant strides over the land? And, again, when the i'm
personation of their princples-the idol of this mon
grel faction, for il useless to dignity the
routed forces the scattered fragments OF the Federal
army, with the name Of party; when he, the daring
and ambitious aposate, whose aspirations for the Pre-
sidency are again doomed to disappointment, pro-
claimed in Lexington fat in the of success the
spoils Of victory should enure to the benefit of
conquerors: where was the righteous condemnation
Of the sycophans who fawn al his feet, and lick the
dust in his presence' Away then with this contempt
bic cant--this hollow hypo risy which applauds in
even to the very echo that which is most
only affords another instance of the contempt in
which the masses are held by HENRY CLAY and his
cringing and servile horde--anothcr illustration of
tn ir contempt for the people-their fast and abiding
faith in the besoted ignorance and silly credulity
which could be trcked by inconsistency so plaring
and notorious 1t has never been even claimed so
far as have either or heard that President Ty
Ter has appointed to office, other than faithful and
competent persons and the party | am addressing
know too well the force and meaning Of the cry Of

well its object, to attach any Importance to the
senseless sound. My object in these papers is to
place President Tyler fairly before the Repub-
can pa ty--and that done, the natural con-
sequence follows, that he obtains the undivided
confidence and support Of that party-that they will
rally around his Administration and present an i'm
pervous buckler to the mad assaults Of his and our
enemies; in him looking t his whole life, we find an
identity Of principles and correspondent action
with us-and the dictates Of common prudence as
well the serner obligations of gratitude and JUS
tice, commend hun to our confidence and attachment
The more he is vGed and misrepresented by the
Federal, the should he be endeared to the Re-
publican party standing upon the Republican plat
form, he has drawn the sword and thrown away the
scabbard-upon his banner is Inscribed NO BANK-A
REVENUE TARrrF-No DIsrRIBuTIoN-No ABOLITION
IsM-A SrRIcT CONSTRUCTION THE CONSTITUTION
AS BY JEFFERsoN-No PUBLIC DEBT--AN EcoNoMrC AL
ADMINISTRATIONS OF PUBLIC ArFAIRs-AND UNivER-
SAL SUFFRAGE WITH UNIVERSAL EDUCATION. Fellow
RepuOncans! are not thcse te principles Tor which
we have contendedi What Democrat worthy
Of the name does not feel his heart leap with a
friendly confidence towards the man who circum-
vented by foes and uncertain of any support dared
fling this banner To the breeze and nail II with his
political fo tunes to the mast
The Roman selfdevoton Of the act itself would
extort admiration from the veriest party bgot who
wallowing in the filth aud slime of faction might
pcrchance envy what his narrow and sordld soul
could never emulate.
No BANK universal SUFFRAGE WITH UNIvERsAL
EDUCATION the alpha and Omega-the beginning
and the end Of all our struggles and of all ri-
umphs Never until these great objects achieved
beyond the chance Of revolution, can we fold our
arms-never must we fail their champion in defeat,
or victorious, it is our solemn duy, it should be
our high privilege TO stand TO our arms and ensure
him support. This is the plain duty Of the Republi-
can pary,--no Of ordinary intelligence can fail
to perceive how suicidal would be any other
Ii apparent to the most shallow intellect that
a crusade part against President Tyler, would
ad vance the political fortunes Of Henry Clay. We
cannot immediate the President without moral injury
to the principles he has avowed, and which pre-
cisely those for which contending-and hence
policy if not the higher obligations of justice and
gratitude call upon TO sustain President Tyler
That such will be the of the Republi par
ty cannot have the slightest doubt; the People,
when left alone TO the exercise of their sober
judgment, seldom 60 wrong and the indications are
favorable in all quarters, that though tardy justice
will by done to patriotic and single minded Pre-
sident. ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
A PLURALITY OF HEADS AND HoRSs.-The fol
lowing from the Charleston Mercury, Mr.. Calboun's
organ in the South, is caustic enough We feel
bound TO caution the friends Of MIR. Van Buren, in the
South that they are paving the way for blow up.
