"Without a why or a wherefore,
Voted for Mr.. Tyler therefore"

Now we say of this extract from the Globe,
as of that from The Integencer, that it con-
Iains nothing respecting MIR. Tyler which is not
literally and indisputably true and YET nothing
IN any degree derogatory TO him. The impli d
asprr>ions contained in it are Of course all aimed
al the " hil parry.
The Intelligencer admits that the lead rs OF
the Wing party in selecting Mr. Tyler as their
candidate for The Vice Presidency, selected one
of the most consistent and nfiexbe Democrats
in the Union: man who had demonstrated his
fidelity to Democratic principles by reiterated
acts, not done in corner, but acts o
his public life, known TO the Who'll
country. Their selection Of him was in
tended as pledge to the People, thai
their party did not seek power with view mere
ly TO party purposes-a pledge which was back
ed by repeated and earnest verbal assurance
| from the most distinguished Wing leaders, in
GLIDING Mr.. Clay himself, that if in power no
thing would be attempted upon which they coulG
not tremendously agree, so as 10 prevent the en-
forcemeni by mere party strength, of any mea
sures mol Of wholly national and patriotic cha
racter In what manner these pledges were re
deemed the public need NOT be reminded. L
has been demonstrated again and again, by tn,
most ample and lrrefragable testimony, that Mr.
Tylers alleged treachery and bad faith consisted
altogether in his determination, when Provi
dence had placed the means in his power, 10 de
feat treaehery and bad faith.
On the other hand, the Globe does not, ant
dares not, attempt to deny the facts upon which
the Intelligencer, in order to accomplish pre-
sent purpose, seeks TO prove Mr. Tyler's consis
tent and unvarying Democracy. They hav,
mutually succeeded 70 admiration, in convictint
each other Of falsehood--so well. that we sus
pect that the truce will not again be broken TO
some time, purposely or accidentally and, there
fore, we have not been able 10 resist the tempta
lion Of dwelling al some length upon the pre-.
sent unexpected outbreak.
