PRESIDENT TYLER's REPUBLICANIsM.

We have ever believed, and still believe, that the
principal cause of such unparalleled exertions on the
part Of the Federal portion Of the wing party 10
Islander as ay the good name of Mr.. Tyler, arose
from he two-fold conviction Of the sterling integrity
of their intendd victim, and The utter restitution Of
it in themselves They had nothing at stake--no-
thing 10 Iose-and nothing could be gained, without
fist accomplishing the destruction Of the character
and influence Of the President and hence the extra
ordinary efforts to cover up Mr. Tyler's pure inten-
tions and conscientious acts with nnumerable calum
MES.
But they forgot that the character OF an upright
man. like refined gold, becomes the brighter the more
it is tried. And the great Disposer Of events,
who placed Mr.. Tyler IN the Executive chair, seems
to have guided his course and to have shaped the
public affairs of the nation as to have COMPOUNDED
his enemies, and constrained the People TO acknow-
ledge the wisdom and benefcence of The Author OF
all good, SO often invoked by Washington. Were il
othcrwise-were the People blind TO the present pros
perity of the country and the unprecedented benefits
of Mr. Tylers Administration, in spite of the unceas
ing and malignant ,xertions Of its approximation
they would most assuredy deserve, and very proba
bly, would incur, the wrath Of heaven
But the good produced by the Administration Of
Mr. Tyler is, and will, undoubtedly, be appreciated
by large majority of the People. few months
will show. In the final overthrow of MIR. Cay, will
be exhibited nations gratitude and nations wis
dom and ju-tice.
The following correspondence, which il was our
design merely to preface with the remark that the
Association, of which Mr. Hyde is President, is com
posed of gentlemen of the highest order of mind and
morals; and who, being citizens of Mr.. Tyler's ma
tive State, would not be likely to express sanction
sentiments which did not proceed from honest con-
victons. And the simplicity and candor of the re-
ply is characteristic Of Mr. Tyler, and will be pro
ductve Of greater moral effect than the most stud-
I'd production of the mere politician could be;

mac, Notwithstanding the lowering appearance Of
the day, was very well attended; and, though it
rained necessarily from the time the boat left the
Navy Yard until the return to The city, the COM
pany evidently enjoyed themselves to the full,
and dancing was kept up with spirit until the
boat reached the wharf. The Blues are entitled
to much credit for the handsome manner in which
the affair passed off, and the general satisfaction
which was experienced by the participants.
