t,.e ol REPRESENTATIVES., and an illusnious Wing
etasoal and soldier, chosen Chief Magistrate, by
neio1ty unprecedented in the annals OF our polil-
.ai contests In these glorious results the people
had q guaranty that the change which Ihey had
onr and so earnestly sought IN the councils OF the
Federal Goyefnment, had al length been effected.
.rbay had reason to nope that instead OF being gov

congress would III future adoptits legislation 10 the
s,ns and wishes OF the whole Republic. And they
,ere encouraged to believe that The administration

conducted witii u snge eye 10 the promotion Of the
National interests, the advancement OF The National
wealth. and the maintenance OF National honor We
need mol say that these confident hopes, these fiat
Isring sntcipations, far, very far, from being
realized nor need we refer, but for moment, to the
source and occasion Of this disappointment.
An inscru;abe dispensation OF Providence struck
downour chosen Chief Magistrate in the very COM
menCement of his official career. For the first time
in our history the Nation was called to mourn the
loss of its President. But associated with General
HARRISON on The ticket nominated aud supported
by the Wing party OF the Union, was JOHN JYLER
Of Virginia, and when HARRISON died TYLER sue
ceeded to the Executive Chair. He lost no time in
10 the Nation that he would faithfully
carry out the principles and policy OF his immediate
and policy which the party
10 whom he owed his election advocated and up
held, and which the People of the United States, by
a vast majority of their sufrnges, had approved and
endorsed at the election of 1910. But tins pledge
was forgotten almost as soon as made. In the hope
ofadvancing his own political fortunes, John Tyler
lbandoned his duty and his friends, and rapidly de-
sending in the path of reachery ere long dissolved
his connection with that party whose sulrages had
placed him in power, and made use OF The very au-
horty which they had coniided TO his hands, 10
hwart their wishes and blast their high-wiought
lOpes. One measure alone, of those rnatured by
he Wing Congress, escaped the exercise OF the Veto
Power and that measure, the Wing larli', yet

reacherous refusal of John Tyler TO cooperate III
