We can succeed without the aid OF
President Tyler; and wethInk the Dem
ocratic party would be much more res
pectable without him.
We can tell the Republican that its
party ows more to Mr.. Tyler and his
friends than they do to it, and that the
party stands quite as much in need Of
their help, as they do of the party's favor.
They have no favors TO ask of the Globe
and the disciples of its Jacobin school
and to that school we alluded by the word
party used above.
The Republican may rest assured that
If Mr.. Tyler shall keep Off" his friends
will stand aside with him. If Mr.. Tyler
is moi entitled to the thanks and graft.

the party-lhe Globes school we mean
I'VE doubt very much whether he will
be at the trouble to win them hereafter.
As Cor Mr.. Tyler's want of moral
frmness 10 his two vetoes Of The Bank, !"
we can say, without the fear of contra.
diction that however much he wanted
"moral firmnes," the Republican party
wanted his vetoes more. Whatever may
have been ,ranting in Mr.. Tyler, the Re-
publicans ofihe country certainly got schdt

followers and servile imitators, cannot
spare any thanks for the help they SO
much needed, why Of course the Presiden!
must continue 10 do without them.
If the Texas treaty was truly intended
for Mr.. TyIer's benefit alone" we may
infer that the Republican is glad it was
rejected. But we are we'll assured, that
however Mr.. Tyler might have been
benefited by its ratification he will suffer
more than other men by IFS loss.
As for Republicans identity of opin-
ion with the Wings, there may be some
comfort in it, before the election. But
both parties cannot be elevated on the ru-
ins of an honest man. who may be the
victim of systematic calumny. The par
Ties must disagree on other points, and
both not being right on all of them, they
are surely wrong as regarded MIR Tyler's
character aud capabilities.
The Republican may be sincere in the
expression of belief that its friends "can
succeed without the aid of President Ty
Ier;" but older and wiser men do not think
SO. With the aid of Mr.. Tyler.many be-
iieve that successful struggle could be
made-but it would nevertheless be a
struggle while others and we must con-
fess that we coincide with this class. feels

Extract from the speech of Gen. Dir,
of Albany.
"For myself. believe that the propo-
si,ions ofCol Benton, whose great pow.
ers of mind and infexible honesty are each
day becoming better appreciated by the
American people. is the one which IN the

the object of our National policy. ANY
scheme to resume our dominion over thai
territory unfairly will be rebuked by the
American beople, as has been the Treaty
of Annexation framed by the presant ADJ
ministra;ion."
"The evil of the hard cider campaign
still exists in the reckless conduct of the
administration. For this, those who placed
it in power must be held responsible.

President Tyler has gone far beyond this.
He has perverted tito the purpose of his

the grace to abuse his trust for the sake
OF his party. He has betrayed it for bis
