Hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington, Iowa) 1843-1845, 1844-10-24

The Madsonan denied feH days ago
that Presi dent Tyler had ever been Wing.
Let that functionary answer for himself:
From the speech Of Mr. Tyler at the Wing
dinner, Washington, 1910.

Capitol yonder have shown my love of
Wing principles"
| Yes, and if it had any connection with
John Tyler's Administration, he would de-
ny, that Judas Iscariot was one OF the
twelve apostles, or Benedict Arnold n
Brigadier General Of The American Army.
John Jones may. for ought we know, have
been decent fellow, before his connection
with his late master: but he now furnishes
additional evidence, OF the truth of the old
adage Of .'evil mmuni cations, and heir
diture Of ink and paper, to give any more
publicity, TO the treason and the trait or,
than they now have. Passing. by easy
stages to the tomb Of the Capulets," the
man and his acts. have already gone through
the initistory step, towards oblivion-con
tempt From the hour OF his weeping ago
ny over ths defeat of Mr. Clay, in the iiar,
risberg Convention, down to the present.
his political career has been living lie.
II IL no: his former friends only. who have
tasted his hvpocrisy; the new stipendla-
ries clustered around him, were initiated
into The same process of treachery; and by
a Just penalty OF moral justice, he has
been alike betraying and betrayed. The
very men, who have eaten Of the broken
moat, from the public table, at his hands,
deceived and deserted him. The cnrrup
ton which infected tho head, has spread
its gsngrsne to the several departments o!
the Government. The Secretary Of State,
negotiutes IN his own person an infamous
Treaty. requiring for its execution a dou-
be robbery of territory from nation with
whom we wore at peace; and Of money
from our own Treasury to discharge the
liza biltica of government, which have
the legal force OF bets won at a cock fight,
while the securities of our own States, for
which a valid consideration has been re-
ceived, are stamped with the not arial seal
of d,shonor. The head Of the war depart
ment under the direction OF the Execu
tive, de,achcs troops for the Gordon OF
frontier posts. and concentrates them, IN
time of profound peace, upon the South
Western boundary. The chief OF the naval
bureau. gathers feet Of armed vessels, in
the Gulf OF Mexico. for no visible purpose
unless Of aggression.
Nor is the peace establishment. behind
the war branch, in its innovation and IN.
capacity. The Secretary Of the treasury
decides questions, as in the case of Portu'
ouese " ines and Coffees, which takes hun
j dreds of thousands of dollars from the lrea-
surv in drawbacks, and astonishes ev en-
confirmed Tylerism by their absurdlfy.
! The Post Master General too, after max
inc his department bye WORD, and his
sing to the whole countiy-building up pri
vate compa MES for the transm issi'n OF let
tiers, and forcing other mailable matter &c
seek different mode Of conveyance, EN-
ploys the official organ Of the Adm'n'stra'
ton. to vamp up his shattered official repu
tat;on. in columns Of prosey editorials
written by contract and paid for BY line
out Of the revenue of his own branch o.
public service.
We are sick Of these details;-from tn
;mbecility and confusion Of the whole ma
Ich;nery of Government, we turn Will
I,,easurc to dawn Of better promise; bu
lutt,e over Ave months separates us from al
administration, worthy OF it's high trusts
Let US in the mean time. with our othe
causes Of graduation, thank Heaven, ina

for tho curse Of Tylerism.
