 IR EDIToR-ft seems that the great whig Fention which assembled at Little Rock, Rhe 18th utimo, have done all things in Fncy and good order, adjourned and com Ped these proceedings to the records of the (nFy for the benefit of posterity.
 Ne have been favored with the speeches Doctor Walker, and. Col. Fowler, at the Fe of the great drama, which are doubtless |nded to form textbook for Arkansas
 g, The Doctor in his speech has poun-
 upon Mir. Tyler, with a tirade of abuse
 len for bitterness of detraction would be
 to equal, and perhaps impossible to beat
 ny country. How far the language em- Eed by the Doctor, may comport with
 respect due to the Chef Magistrate, of the
 eFican people, or with his own selfrespect,
 matters about which men of all parties
 e, and will exercise thefight of judgment Themselves. Among other hard names, he
 < the President traitor, and compares
 to Benedict Arnold, of Revolutionary Pnory. This foodgate of acrimony is Faed on Mir. Tyler, not for the breach of promise, or the violation of any contract agreement, but because in the discharge of
 sh and solemn obligation to his God, and Lls Country, he felt himself conscientiously
 constltutionally debarred from signing to charter another United States Bank, thereby resuscitating that old whore of pyioh, pregnant with more evils than was P,a'ned In Pandora's box. If the Doctor \ rellected for moment he would have [9llected, that Mir. Tyler, had always zeal L, 's,y opposed the rechartering of United tss' L'ss bank, in his public speeches while a |aOf Es. m Congress. His opposition to that |sla [Mu'loh upon constitutional grounds, was Ea.s |s.I and unreserved, and was put upon the r 0'ss ee ol the country long before the meet F VI the Harrisburgh convention at which N, Has nominated for Vice Presidents; and it is |s s,.y pFoUa6fe, indeed almost cgFrafr; rrf1at l0.; n? member of that convention was well Bdasa, r,.seu oi that fact.
