JUSTICE TO JOHN TYLER"
In Mr.. Webster's remarks upon President
Folks message declining TO submit TO the Senate
copies of drafts upon the secret service fund, ono
sentence is especially to be noted
A large portion of the wing press induloed in.
and some of the democratic press echoed. all sor,s
OF charges against President Tyler; they daily
accused him of the grossest corruption, 7enaiy
and fayoritsm. Indeed there was nothing too bad
tor them to say of him public man in this coun-
try ever sood so much abuse Of that peculiar kind
which implies loose holding of The public purse
strings.
Now the whole wing press is united in defence
of Senator Webster, and is indignant that no
should even be suspected and they all publish,
with graduation. the speech in which he saws:
THE LATE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES, IN ALL THINGS RE-
HEEXPENDITUREO FTHE
PUBLIC MONEYS. WAS REMARKABLY
S,EXACT AND PARTICULAR"
Boston Post.
The above is word spoken in season and with
great truth and candor. The wickedness and
venalty of the wing party and wing press are
plainly exemplihed in this course Of conduct, aBd
we may justly say that considerable port ion Of
protested democrats are amenabe TO the samo
charge, men whose cliquism and malice could see
nothing fair and honorable in the late President
and his administration, when they both were emf
nently entitled to the thanks Of the whole democ-
racy. Such men as those referred to, whether
wings or protested democrats, are fast approach
ing to>sheir original insgnfcauce. and will be
iogotten when the object Of their malice and vtu-
peration will live in the affections of whole peo-
ple.--Bosion Times.
