Oh pccled from Mr.. Tyler What claims has MI
Polk that Mr.. Tyler has mott What more can MIR
Polk bring to aid the results Of the great issue, than
Mr.. Tyler can command Without intending to be
inyidous we unhesatpgly say that there 10 no, one
just and reasonable consideration that can DC c'Shn
ed for Mr. Polk that cannot be found to an equal
not greater extent in Mr.. Tyler; and there are
many reasons why the present Chief Magistrate
should be preferred He point to the three years
Of his Administration and show results as oreditape
for efficiency energy and success, as can be found 10
the past history Of the country under any oil his pre-
decessors Look TO the iorlorn condition oil the coun'
try when he .oto Office and compare II with lis
present resuscitsted and prosperous aspect Look 10
the termina ofhe protracted Florida war that was
draining millions annually from the Treasury. Look
TO the treaties that he has concluded with foreign
natons aud the benefits that they are opening to
our country. Without further enumeration oil
particular points of his Administration, we say,
that Mr.. Tyler, without party to sustain HIM, and
the "a myth Of parties to oppose him, has accom-
pshed as much TO give him claims upon the con-
6dence and gratitude Of the country as to any man
living.
If, as we believe, that the Texas question is
to enter largely into the Presidential contest, the
claims of President Tyler place him first on the
list and beyond all competition This ground
is his own, and exclusively his that no
one can trench upon il without an invasion OF JUS
tice.
In view of all these considerations, we are at a
loss upon what basis of sound policy or justice MIR.
Polk can be urged upon the country. Politicians
may, and no doubt they have, their ends TO ac-
compsh, by advocating his election, but the People,
in contradistnction to the Politicians, looking alone
to the hes, means of enlagng the prosperity OF the
country and melting out the claims of justice, ought
and will rally around Mr.. Tyler, relying upon the
good he has secured to the People, the best guar
antee they could have for the future.

called for reports. Mr.. MCKAY then consented to
that course

the Postmaster General, demanding an inyes-
tigatio into the charges preferred against him by
the Hon. Garrett Davis. Mr.. DAVIS then made a
statement Of what he had stated at the time to the
House, re Affirming hat he had stated and said the
Postmaster General could not con,rovert what he
had stated. Mr.. Dawson said the gentleman from
Kentucky (Mr. Dayis) was prejudging the question
by loreStallng public opinion, by giving his own yer
sion Of the affair." and objected to such procedure
The SPEAKER said as the general consent of the

lucky to make explanation, il was now too late TO
raise objection Mr. CAVE JOHNSON said il the
charges against the Postmaster General were true,
he ought to be impeached, and, if they were not
true he should be indicated. He then offered
resolution referring the subject to the Committee
on the Post Office and Post Roads, with power to
send for persons and papers, and demanded the pre-
vious question. Upon division, there was a second
and the resolution was agreed to. The SPEAKER
then called the standing committees for reports and
large number were presented and appropriately
disposed Of. Mr.. GARRETT DAVIS offered resolution
also authorizing the Committee op the Post Office
and Post Roads to inquire into the NAL administra-

ABUSE WITHOUT CAUSE.

Certainly no man was ever so much abused withou
cause as Mir Tyler. Mr. Van Buren,, in '39 and ~
was abused great deal, but not SO much as Mr. Ty
Ter. During MIR. Van Buren's term, however, II st
happened that both private and public interests sui
fered considerably. State Banks were popping
every hour like beer bottles, and men were dodgine
! in every direction 10 escape the aim OF those hume
rous financial sharp-shoo,ers. But when the great
| aoSEYLsv,ArnAN lurched and exploded before The
astonished eyes of the community, Consideration and
horror prevailed throughout the entire country
Every man had either worthless stock or deprecated
Bank paper, in his pocket-book. The paper OF indi
| vidusls hitherto OF unlimiied resources and unm.
| peachable credit, was better. Confidence be-
tween man and man was utterly destroyed, and the
'largest houses" being the first to fall there was no
escape for the innumerabe small ones dependent on
them so, throughout all the manifestations CT socie-
ty, there was an unbroken of desolation and
distress.
Nor was this all The States were unable to pay
the interest on their foreign debts and some of them
decided to repudate. This ruined the credit of the
Federal Government abroad, and the United States
agent could not get the loan of dollar in Europe
And to add to the general confusion and despair, a
large number of the receiving and disbursing officers
Of the Government were ascertained TO be de.
faulters. 1t feared that both the citi-
and their boosted institutions were TO
be Immediately and forever involved in one
common ruin, like degenerate Rome. For besides
the embarrassments alluded to, we had an expensive
war on our Southern frontier, and bloody one with
England threatens d US in the North.
Under these circums' ance', and the acerbity OF
temper and reckless frame of mind engendered by
them it was natural for the People to censure their
rulers to whom many of the evils suffered were at
trbuted But even then the President was not
abused half as much as Mr.. Tyler is now.
And now, while President Tyler is so I'M
sparingy abused, let us glance for moment
the condition of the People and the country
Money is abundant, both specie and paper, and
the latter is at par every where. Commercial,
ufacuring and agricultural enterprise is prosperous
Private industry every where Is amply rewarded
Individual credit is re.established Neither Banks
merchants fail now a-days. State securities meet
a ready sale and command high prices. The re-
cepts into the United States Treasury will exceed
the expenditures, this year, some $50 900, 900. Fhe
race of defauters is extinct The Indian war has
been quelled--the Northeastern Boundary adjusted
advantageous commercial treaties have been transmit
tive has brought health, vigor, and prosperity to the
People and the Government-and yet President Tyler
is abused porse than piok-pockut
