JUSTICE TO JOHN TYLER
There never ives before npn in the Executive
Chair, who has received such universal and unremit
ted abuse as has tho PRESENT incumbent, and we will
say, Democrat though we be, thai there has been ~
man that deserved il less. Our own party, II we ex-
cept the friends Of MIR Calhoun, have been as bitter,
with very many honorable exceptions, and have lent
the power OF their pens. Tray, Blanche and Sweet
heast," little dogs and all, To the Wing party, aud
have joined in the slang which has been levelled at the
Administration Of yoBs Tyler and even those pres
SEES, which under the control Of men Of moral
worth, and determined probity, have been denounced
by their companions, because they would not Join IN
this "hue and cry" and thus aid the enemy to take
possession Of the citadel Aud for what has all this
been done Because, say the Wings he has been
traitor 10 his psogiss because he has defeated the
great measures which the Wings proposed TO con-
summate when they obtained the power. Very well
this might be very just ground for their opposition,
aud abuse if you WILL were il true that he had been
that traitor, which he has not; but II be no good
reason for US, whose cause he has sustained, whose
principles he has endeavored to advance, why we
should aid his bterest enemies in crushing him. that
they may ride into power.
| We have repeatedly repeed the charge made by
the Wings that Mr. TYLER deceived them with re-
gard to the Bank OF the United States,
o. the Tariff, as had sufficient proof, Of our own
knowl dgc, having taken an active part in the cam
pagn Of 1910, and frequently meet their speakers on
the husDgs in various parts Of the country before the
people, where endeayored to fasten them To those
issues, but which they always denied and pronounced
stale SANDER; and in the South would always refer
to the we'll known opinions Of JoHN TYLER, these
questions, TO prove the falsity of charges as TO
their future intentions but is AIM at this
time 10 travel over the ground, which has been SO
often beaten, and which Is we'll known TO the
whole country, and well understood by every yro
In politics neither do wish to turn the columns
of bile which levelIed at the President by tho Globe
and the whole tribe Of that genus, from their "dty
Work, but we intend to point THE PEoPLE 10 facts,
and let them Judge between the parties.
When the Extra Session, Of l64l commences,
the President, in his first message to Con-
grcss, took occasion to say the United States Bank
the State Bank Deposite System and the lndeperi-
dent Treasury System had beenall three repudiaied
by the people aud if it Of either, previous
elections had st assuredIy shown il in relation
10 the Bank It was certainly reg arding the INDIE
pendent Treasury, as that was the only issue the
Wings met, and openly opposed as coDtrivance ito
give currency for the people and another currency
for the Government" if We except the humbug ofthe
| Standing Army, out Of which two measures the
| Wings made the most real capital.
Il will be recollectcd here that MIR Clay had taken
his stand in the Senate the leader Of the Wing par
~, having by nesse got Webster out OF the way, by
placing him in the Harrison Cabinet, where he could
be overruIed by his own creatures, through MIR.
Crittenden the only talented man in that Cabinet.
Harrison himself was looked upon as mere cypher,
and if he had any good traits they were neutraiized
by the Bells, Gr1ngers, and Ewings that were placed
around him. This same Ctay-g,tard of Jannissares
were The advisers and spies upon Mr.. Tyler too in
the beginning and il was the great error he commit
ted against himself, that he did not Immediately cut
them adrif, and surround himself with his friends.
| Having things so arranged Mr.. Clays first move
to make il appear that the public moneys were with
out the control Of law, and 10 commit the President
TO of action; consequently the repeal Of
the Independent Treasury act was decided upon in
the Senate, sent to the House, passed nsaDier there
| Id
ing that there sufficient checks land guards up
on the public treasure in the law of 1897 and the
resolution of July, 1916, under which, be it
! bered, the Treasury and the revenue is now be-
ing controlled. Although this first act OF the
| Wing party WAS witnessed by the Democratic party
with regret, and by no individual with more sorrow
than .urself yet il the only real TetrenchmeDt
worked out by the Wings, as il saved to the
Governmen, seine $4,000 year-the amount of
the Presidents saIary. Then came the grand
move of Mr. Cly,-a charter for a Nstona
Monster Bank, that should override every thing and
trample the sovereignty of the States under foot
| TYLER VETOED it! The country WAS SAVED |!
Saved by JOHN TYLER! We well recollect the
bullying and brsggadoca OF the Wings and their con.
6dent declarations that he dare no! reto tive know
Oft constant visits Of the leading Wings to the Pre-
sldentia mansion, night and day, while the bill was
under consider aton-we know Of the grinding, bull
lying persevering efforts Of that brutal Clay
\ TO drive the President from his propriety. Finding
all these fail the coaxing promising, threatening of
theirs 10 induce the President to violate his OATH his
CONSCIENCE and his PRINCIPLES, by signing that
bill but he true to himse true 10 the Constitu-
ton, and true TO his God He reioed it, and Joy and
gladness spread through the Democratic party.
The prcss, led by The Globe from end Of tie
country TO the other, hailed Mr. TYLER the our

After this the Clay Cabinet br Ike up, and Mr. Clay
retired from the Senate and in their separation they
made effort TO annhiate the Presidents bu, thei

back upon themselves, and they retired from public
life, scorned and despised by every honest man of
every party. And why was ths' Because MIR

TO all their statements. Out Of this fact grows the
