he had suffered so much by the "non-nvitallon,
mill he heard the Democratic party Tell II
Toast al The Bolts Supper.
This extraordinary instance oil "Virginia hos
pilally" having been thus once more prominent
" brought up on the table, connected with Inc
course of the Democratic party, we feel Jus'ineu
in spreading before our readers The following ee-
CANT piece OF decency from the Richmond South
erney which we find severely commented upon
in the Warrenton Flag. We never see The South
erner itself and were utterly surprised 10 seesuch
an article even in such paper. We agree with
the Flag lha, This intolerance and rudeness can
not be approved oy The rejecting and honest men
Of any party" Ye. The paper holding such Of
fensiye language towards one OF our own distin-
gushed citizens, is edited by Virginian, is sus-
IA ined BY virginians and is boastngly avowed
bv It's author 10 be The genuine enlightened expo
uent of the protective system" But to the beau
tiful article which. in the language of The Flag,
is "the Lowest exhibition Of bitter parlizan feeling
which we have lately seen" II speaks its own
condemnation:
aSome complain tina, Capt. Tyler was not in-
yiled 10 he dinner as guest We think the CON-
mit,ee did lust light in this case. Tyler has no
rich, 10 expecl 10 be an invited guest among hon.
orahle gentlemen. He forfeited his honor and in
teer,y while acting as President. Instead OF bav-
inc The respect OF either party he has The contempt
| of both The baseness and ueachery he practiced
while President, had private citizen committed
in his business relations, would have expelled him
| from the associations Of all honorable men. We
can see no distinction between the base act oil
public man and private one. All wicked acts
are The offspring OF corrupt hearts and disingen-
Gus minds. If one is kicked out OF proper CON-
pany the other oughtto be. Ills the only way 10
make bad public men honest md just. Let the
press speak out, and let The people acl fearlessy
10 punish the guilty and We will not be long lrou-
bled with unprincped men in public stations. :"
We have already expressed our view OF the
ge,ters up of the Webster festival, in formally re-
pulsing president Tyler from the social board
All we mean 10 do at present is 10 make few
short pilhy extracts from respectable journals.
The New Haven Register says
"The Wings of Richmond were more nice
Than wise il tbey-were guilty Of any such silly
proceeding. THE servant is not ereaier than his
master saith the good book-and il the Wings
cannot sit at table with President OF heir own
choosing, and al table too where they are least
| ing The premier OF an ADMINISTRATOR WHICH they
affect 10 despise-lhe world will concede 10 them
the greatest camel-swallowing capacity. Web
srer was the Mentor Of Tylersm-the soul and
body Of the ant-Clayism of that administration. !"
A French paper OF New York the Courier des
Etats Unis, has The following sensible and naire
remarks on The subject Of public courtesy and
propriety:
mAt Richmond. The dinner given to Mr. Web.
ster, was marked by an unpleasant (peni6te) incl
dent. Mr. Tyler was in The city, and many just
ly regarded il as an obligation OF courtesy 10 in
wife The Ex-President Of the Union 10 the enter
tainment given TO his Ex-Secretary Of State
But this proposition was voted down by strong
majority in the commitlee. This breach of po-
likeness (impolitesse) was double fault; TOR, IN
der such circumstances, the man ought 10 disap-
pear in the magistrate, and those concerned in
the affair could not conscieniiousy spit in The iace
OF Mr.. Tyler, without some portion OF the saliva
falling upon those persons who, like Mr.. Web
s,er were his councillors and ministers for SO
long period"
