previous harsh course towards the President bu'
that other Republican journals IN Virginia, winch
had not uniformly ili-.r aed Mr.. Tyler would step
for ard t alscrity and do him full justice for his
successful advocacy Of Republican principles, by
awarding him the need OF praise SO justly meriled
by him.
But we have been mistaken. The last Chaloltes.
willie JeHersonian Republican contains the following
response to the article in the Enquirer
GOV. TYLER AND HIS FRIENDS.
Mr.. Tyler's friends in Phiadeph have deter
mined 10 run Tyler ticket throughout. We can
not repeat 10 them and to Mr.. Tyler the Invitation
teudered by The Richmond Enquirer to come to US
Sac brethren and equals 10 the support OF Folk
and Dallas" Nine-!snths of the supporters Of IRE
sident Tyler, ofhce-holders excluded ought to be-
long to the Democrat party, and ought TO vote with
il of course-that portion we shall be happy to have
amongst Us, but the balance, including The Presl-
dent himself, We hope will keep of. We dissent
from Inc. .9pipi9Q llsl "Mr. yier is entitled to our
want Of 0moral frmness" R his two vetoes Of tn.
Bank, for which he proposed to substitute something
much worse. He vetoed the distribution bill indi-
rectly, but has yet repudiaed the principle Of
il, and passing over one or Two other things, for
which the Enquirer gives him credit, and We give
him none, think his Texas negotiation was In
tended for his ben, fit alone, and that he never
thought of his country in the whole transaction =
With this opinion Of President Tyler, we always
wanted him to keep away from the Democratic par
~, the of whom hold him in much contempt
rs the Wings do. To be sure, they do not hate him
as much as tho wings, because he has never violated
any agreement with them to plumber the country Of
its rights and its wealth for the benefit of the few.
But they have the same opinion OF his intellect and
his character for 6rmness, that the Wings have.
We can succeed without the aid of President Ty
Ter and we think the Democratic party would be
much more respectable without him.
We can tell the Republican that its party owes
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 favors to ask of the Globe and the disciples
of its Jacobin scboo-and to that school we allude
by the word party used above.
The Republican may rest assured that if Mr. Ty-
Ter shall "ksep off," his friends will stand aside with
him. If MIR. Tyler is not "entitled to the thanks
and gratitude" for what be has already done for the
Party-the Globes school we mean--we doubt very
much whether he will be al the trouble to win them
hereafter.
As for Mr.. Tyler's swami of moral 6rmness in his
two vetoes Of the Bank we can say, without the
fear of contradiction, that however much he wanted
moral hrmness," the Republican party wanted his
vetoes more Whatever may have been panting in
Mr. Tyler, the Republicans of the country certainly
got ,ohat they ranied And if the Globe and its fol-
lowers and serye imtaors, cannot spare any thanks
for tho help they so much needed, why Of course
the President must continue TO do without them.
II the Texas treaty was truly intended for Mr.
Tyler's "beneft alone,p we may infer that the Re-
publican is glad il was rejected. But we are well
assured, that however much Mr. Tyler might have
been benefited by its ratification, he will not suffer
moro than other by its loss.
As for the Republicans identity of opinion with
the Wings, there may be some comfort in it, before
the election Blu, both parties be elevated on
the ruins Of an honest man, who may be the victim
of systematic calumny. The parties must disagre
on other points, and both not being right all of
them, they are surely wrong regards Mr.. Tyler's
character and capabilities.
The Republican may be sincere in the expression
Of belief that its friends can succeed without the
aid Of President Tyler" but older and wiser men do
not think so. VIII the aid Of Mr. Tyler, many be-
heve that successful struggle could be made-bu,
it would nevertheless. be struggle while others,
and must confess that coincide with this class
feel convinced that the contest will be of doubtful
issue, with all the help that can be secured.
