approval extended by the great body Of the Demo
cratic party Of this State 10 the leading measures Of
the Administration coupled with the profound nc
speet entertained for the President personally, in
consequence Of his NOBLE bu, temporary sacrifice OF
personal popularity TO subseve the best interests of
the nation which he has been called to preside
And this feeling consequent upon calm reflection
among the People uninfuenced by party leaders and
factious presses, is destined TO become peryading
one throughout the whole Union and the still small
voice among them, which rs already heard, where
the denuncations of pensioned press have not pen
erated will advance step by step, increasing il
advances with the Devoted patriotism OF John Tyler,
will become by-word among the People, and that
spirit Of faction which seeks to iarnh his fair name
by calumny and denunciation "will hide its dimn-
ed head, and his example will be registered among
those OF the patriots Of bygone days, who firmly
planted their feet upon the altar Of their country
welfare, TO repe the unhallowed assaults of those
who hesitaed not TO attempt the overthrow Of the
temple Of liberty, and to desecrate the shrine reared
for them al the price of the blood and the lives Of
their foreiathers. The sacrifice of patriots the fell
spirit of party and Of faction has required from
the days Of the first Republic, and the annals of this
country furnish testimony of the quenching or
abatement Of principle of human action so unhal-
lowed, but the degeneracy Of this day, and the ex-
ample before u.s. carry along with them ncontestible
evidence that ii still stalks through the land, charac
terised by all its original malignity and vgor. But

politics, unapprised of that fact; but it is Ger.
tain, that to whatever department they belonged
there was found not solitary individual among the
many with whom we conyersed who did not utterly
reprobae the course Of the Globe as in direct CON
hict with the nature Of their feelings towards the
President and the public manifestation of that fact !,
found imbodied in the specific character Of the reso
luton passed in that body approving the acts of the
Administration by an unanimous pote, and rendering
to the President that respectful consideration due TO
the constitutional head Of the nation
Whatever impressions party leaders and party
presses may endeavor to fasten the public mind to
the contrary the President may safely rest the yind
cation OF the pc icy which the Administration ba, as
sumed for its guidance, upon the integrity of the
great mass of the Democratic party of the country
