THE REvILERs OF THE PRESIDENT.

We are not in the habit of not cling the INSCRIPTIONS
and i'll hatured attacks of the Wing press upon the
President. We, however, far depart from our
predetermined course, to transfer to our columns
the following just commentary upon an article which
appeared 10 obscure and scurrilous wing paper
published at Baltimore The President has no dis
position 70 evade any responsibility properly attached
to his Administration. The President at the
time absent, and had nothing to do with the changes
referred to- but doubt not that he in their
propriety. 1t lis little strange that Wing papers
should attempt to make great noise about removals
in the face Of the declaration Of their great leader
that he should make clean sweep in the event Of
his election. BY the by, Colonel Polk has suddenly
become man worthy of some attention, and in the
estimation of Wings, capable of doing some things
as well as Clay. A few weeks since these same
pure, incorrupuble, and modest Wings asked, "Who
is Jane, X. PoK?" We congratulate them that The
veil has been torn from their eyes
From the NJ Y. Sun.
VALUE OF OYrIcE-rHE PRtspENcY-rHE PEo-
PLE.-There is al the present time a most violent
and exciting contest for the Presidency prevailing
throughout The Union, and a stranger on reading the
partisan journals would arrive at the inevitable con-
cusion that both candidates utterly unworthy OF
pO,SSsScu
qualifications for the distinguished Office, and could
not safely be entrusted with the regns Of power
One Of The candidates has filled various important
Offices with admitted ability, and the other has been
Speaker OF the House of Representatives, and
Joys the entire confidence Of his friends and partisans
w ere neither candidates for Office both would sustain
high rank in the estimation Of the country, and be
considered as eminent If not ustrious citz rs The
moral Of all this may be found in the fact that a
ddale for Office in country, must be prepared to
encounter the most violent opposltion-the most
migated abuse in his person, IN his principles, IN his
morals, and even in his ancestors, until al length IT is
question OF serious cons Iteration whether any hon
or, any station in country equivalent TO all
the pains and penalties which candidate must en-
counter But the evil does not end here the incum-
bent Of Office shares better fate than the candi-
date, and he is not permitted to surrender his
trust without being fairly driven from office with in
suit and contumely. Our attention has been direct
ed to this subject by paragraph IN a Baltimore pa
per, alludng to the President of the United States
IN the following manner:
president Tyler has set an example Of reckless
and want Of moral prime ipe, that hope never
to see initiated by those who may succeed hum
Happily for the country he has but a few months
more In which 10 play his fantastic tricks, when he
will descend from his exalted station Pres
dent descended before, an object Of scorn and con-
tempt TO the American people, and To the world -
Never did President ialsify his promises, and
conspicuous man reduced TO a more Illuminating
dition."
IL will surprise the stranger reading the above
to learn that part relating to the administration Of
President Tyler true. lie leaves country IN IN
unexamped state of prosperity, which he fouBd IN
bankruptcy and distress-he leaves surplus Of prob
ably h,een millions IN the treasury, which he found
empty when he came into powei-he has settled the
eastern boundary question pesceably--he has nego-
uated several important ueaties-placed the United
States on a most smcabe footing with all the na-
t'oos Of the eartbsecured by treaty vast and vau-
able accession Of territory IN Texas which the Sen
ats was pleased to reject has preserved the public
co6ep from plumber and deislcation and has adj
min'strstion altogether, will bar comparison with
the most successful of any Of his predecessors and
what s most remarkable, he has conducted the az.
iairs OF government wrn both parties in Congress
against him-and bent on defeating ali his ssures
HIS offence towards the party which elected him,
hrs conscientious refusal TO sign the Bank charter
and the opposition opposed him because he not
OF their choice. We IN this, that public man
must rely altogether on his integrity OF purpose
and look to the and the country for Justice
and approval.
