ETERNAL JUSTICE.

There is not man, having an honest heart
| in his bosom, but believes President Tyler has
been governed ia all his acts by the conscien-
,ious dictates of duty. No man, who is honest
| himself believes that the President is dishonest.
| And this being the case, what will all the abuse
| heaped upon the Chief Magistrate, avail his
enemies? 1t will ultimately involve It's utter
ers 10 disgrace and ruin!
There is one remarkable fact TO which we
would call the attention of our readers. We
have observed, during the last twelve months,
that whenever member Of Congress rose IN
his place and fearlessly melted out simple JUS
rlcE to the Observation-Disclosures the slavish
,rammels Of parry, and giving ut'erance to the
liberal sentiments Of his breast-fhdt speech
has sped upon the wings OF the Wind. and found
lis way, sooner or later, into the habitatons
alike of the rich and the poor, far and near
while ALL the denunciatory and false harangues,
whether pronounced by Wing or Democrat,
hare fallen still born to Tie earth!
Is this not significant fact2
What speech during the last session acquired
such universal circulation as that delivered by
Mr.. WArrERsoN We printed three editions OF
it 10 supply the order received from the West,
and il is even yet copied by the Western pa
pers.
Some ten days ago, Mr.. Holmes declared
that neither party in Congress had discharged
their duty, while the President had been doing
every thing in his power to afford a remedy for
the existing evils of the country. That speech,
or an extract from it, has already been repub-
lished in every State on this side of the noun
tains And so with the speeches of c. J. In
gersol, Mr.. Kennedy, Of Indiana, and ALL who
have dared TO speak the TRUTH.
A tue Republican himself, the Chief Magis-
uale will continue to discharge his duty. His
reliance On the JUSTICE Of the People is well
founded, and he will not be disappointed.
| AS the head of The Federal Government, he
will continue TO labor, whether the Representa-
lives Of the People cooperate with him or moi
for the welfare OF the nation. The NATIONAL
honor-he NATIONAL credit-the good fall
of the UNITED STATES Government, h,
will maintain TO the utmost of his ability
But he can never have part or 10
in any Of the absurd projects of this or tina
specializing politician, who would immediate oil
the altar OF his selfish ambition, the most vita
principles and dearest interests of our grea
country, and which alone, unmolested, can per
| petuaie the existence of the GENERAL Govern
ment States have their own governme nts-
corporations have their charters-indivldual
their tribunals Of justice, when privat
contracts are violated. With none Of these
according to our conception, can the FEDERA
Government interfere. The power is nc
in the Constituiion-we cannot see it il
the bond" If English manufac lure
becomes indebted to an American planter an
fails, the latter cannot require the British Gov
eminent to pay him. Those who lend none
must see that it is well secured before parln
with it, or run the risk Of losing it. Thos
who trade must run The risks of trade. TIL
son is not bound for the debts of his father, un
less he signs his name rs security.
! The States may, in the manner prescribed By
law, alter the Federal Cousfitufion-but, unit
it is altered, the politicians must abide by
strict construction Of it as it exists.
