than to the honored Chief Magistrate of our glorious
Union-to what individual more than to Mr.. TYLER
himself, arc we indebted for this suspicious and
praiseworthy condition of things Let US Cast cur
sorry glance over this yet infant, but growing and
prosperous Republic-over the broad surface of this
free and happy land-and mark the giant strides of
public improvement every where abounding-the on
ward march of industry and enterprise, and the rapid
advancement and spread Of Intellectual intelligence
among the great mass Of our countrymen and people
in every quarter of the continent-and how soul
inspiring and joyous how exquisite and thrilling is
the aspect of affairs every where around US We
have the happiness to live under the bright smiles OF
an Administration, which, though falsely accused and
rudely assaed through the cruel and unmanly vru-
ence OF partisan maligny, yet stands forth TO the
world, and will, we hope, continue so to stand the
purest and the happiest of any since the early days
of our Republic And, though the haggard image OF
war has for years been seen like bedizzened spec
hanu inrly a. &c,
and contenment that scatters its blessings around
us, (he natural characteristic of the people Of this
counry,) extends to all her cheering welcome and
her warm and ardent congratulations. Here, in this |
free and prosperous land, we have never yet been
called TO mourn over the ruins Of degraded and |
fallen peasantry, to mingle our tears around the
miserable cot of want and destituton made desolate
by the cruel hand of arbitrary rule. Monarchies |
and desposms, those heartless usurpers of dominion
and power, are the common inheritors Of caamities
that send pain and anguish to the beating bosom Of
poverty and wretchedness. WE ARE FREE We
know little of the miseries that prey upon those who
have no home. JOHN TYLER is our President He
feels deeply for the country in whose counses he
presdes. 1t has been his good fortune amid host
of trials and troubles such no man before him has
ever seen or known so to steer the majestic ship of
State through the dashng surges, shoals and quick
sands of partisan strife and maevoent abuse as to be
enabled to welcome the in coming of the New Year
upon which we have just entered with all the pride
of the philanhropist, and the Inspiration of the pa
trot. And who, lei humbly but earnestly inquire,
who are his accusera' Where the guilty, cavng,
complaining prosecuting, denuncatory clan, who
would wanonly and cruelty heap imprecation upon the
head of one whose whole life has been untiringy
devoted TO the best interests of his country Where
in what cloister, from behind what envemoned bat
terry, do they hurl their barbed arrows; Come forth
all ye Bank-ridden revilers-ye who denouncc the
Veto, and ye who applaud il the better TO stab your
benefactor-come forth with your budgets of indict-
ments and false accusations and lay th m all on the
altar Of your country, for trial On this day, in this
era OF good feeling, under the bright Of universal
prosperity and enjoyment, we call Cor specifications
We demand, most feelngly and solemnly do we de.
mand, in the face Of the country and the world ALL
THE PROOFS at your CONTROL Of that fathlessness and
duplicity which you have wantonly and nalicously
charged. Where are the facts, the demonstrations.
Of the mal-admInstration of which you SO foully
complain Do you find them in the anmating smile
OF plenty that now gaddens every branch Of our na-
tional industry in the present high prices OF our agri
cultural products in the multiplied bounties of
abundance that ill the farmers granaryi in the
heavy laden ship that whitens every sea in the many
and diversified sources of INSTRUMENTATION and
trade that reach, will yet be made TO reach nearly
every family fireside DO you find them in the price
e the public stocks-ln the elevation Of the public
credt-in the widespread bounties and blessings
i hiatt ohap tbox -
our nation, and make it the standing theme of enco-
MUM in every quarter Of the globe Are these your
facts and specifications these part and portion Of
the long roll of accusations you bring into court
against the Chief Magistrate Of your country Look
back upon past Adminstrs tions. Let your thoughts
run few of the years that are fled, and how
stands the present in comparison with the past Have
disasters whose paralytic effect upon our great ma
tIonsl interests sometimes shake the very foup-
daton of the Government come down upon the head
of JONI TYLER Look back upon that day when the
devastating blight Of unwise measures and failing
counsels spread deyouring blight and mlIdew over
this land of the free. No discredt Of such charae
ter attaches toour present ruling powers The wheels
Of Government move prosperously and regularly
Every department Of the national councils is ably and
skilfuy managed. The Cabinet of the President has
seldom been so ably filled, or successfully conduct
ed. Practical, prudent industrious, attentive men,
at its respective heads-men who do not feel pow
and forget right, but whose whole energies of soul
and mind devoted to their country, to its interests
its institutions and its laws. And how, under such
cheerful state of things, sharing as we do blessings
so numerous and pure, every where so literally
dispensed, can we have heart TO pine over imagi-
nary ills, or TO mourn troubles never felt or
known
