and Webster, In edecting a settlement Of the
slavery question: and IL doing, so they showed
tneir GOOD tactics
The New York TrI5Ene, in reference to the re
marks which we recently made on this subject,
said the other day, that after supporting John Tyier
aud after feeding fa on the patronage IN his gift,
We kicked hun overheard Those party hacks |
Cannot AMI never will, understand the iudepen lent
press, which cares for no faction and no party.
We supported John Tyler as long as he conducted
the affairs OF the government in manner that con-
duced 10 the welfare Of the country; but when he
prostituied the chief magistracy to subserve
has own ends, or those Of the clique with which
he was identified, we opposed him, as We
have always done, and as we will continue to do
hereafter, on all occasions. AS for our receiving
patronage from him, We despised it and refused it,
as we did under the administration of Mr.. Polk.
We care nothing for public patronage; we have.
as much OF il as we desire fIom the Amerj> AN
people, and care nothing for the government drip
pings that the party hack journals are so desirous
of getting, and for which they sacrifice every
thing. In pecuniary point of view, we are as
much independent of the government as the tone
of our journal is independent of party.
So riuch for that point. Now, let us come back
TO kc place from which we started. After quoting
os. remarks, that the present administration ought

| State our socialist contemporary inquiries whether,
if cur advice DE taken, will support the funda-
mental principles and measures hitherto contended
for by the wings, continue to oppose protection,
and TO favor the sub-teasury, and be indifferent or
hostile TO internal improvements As for protec-
tion and the sub-treasury, they have been fought,
ard the battle was decided long ago They are
now obsolete and all aueimpts to recuscitate them
will be in vain We moderately in favor Of
internal improvements, and have always been so,
and have constantly supported and advocated the
most gigantic scheme of the kind that was ever
proposed in this country-we mean the construction
of a railroad from the confines of Missouri to the
Pacific ocean, for the purpose OF connecting the
two extremes Of our empire.
But, strictly speaking, all this has nothing do
with the course which the whg party ought to
pursue in the approaching election in this State
We again repeat, that if they do not form grand
national and comprehensive platform, they will be
defeated, and their forces scattered in every direc
tion. They must repudiate VIM. II. Seward, Thur
low Weed, and Horace Greeley, aud the doctrines
Of abolitionsm and socialism which they advocate
They are now in power in the general government
and it rests with themselves whether they will con-
tinue in, or not. We want 10 see whether they can
conduct the affairs Of this great country in proper
manner, or not. They have now chance, and let
them dsprove the assertion that they cannot. But
il will be in vain for them TO attempt it, unless they
renounce the fdnatacism of the Seward school, and
ell the modern and disorg ganizing isms of the day.
Let them adhere TO the Clay, Webster, and Fill
more platform, and they will stand chance Of
succeeding al the coming election in this city, and
OF preserving their ascendency in the general
! government for IN indefinite time.
! The MAYoEALTY-A TERRIBLE CONTEST IN Pros
PEcT.-Our witty cotemporary of the Day Book, is
probably right in expecting that the next greatest
excitement, in this devoted city, would he in the
election OF Mayor II looks frightful already. We
have simply announced intention TO take the
stump, and our opponent, Philosopher Greeley, is

wsistband, to see if he cannot catch few voters
Irish, German, socialist, loafers, anything. The
other night he ran into Tammany Hall in great
alarm, TO preside at famous Irish meeting, and to
see if he could not pick up few Irish votes. II
was rather Slieveganmon affair all through. We
are far ahead Of him among the Irish. We are
true Catholic, believer in the Pope, have gone to
confession dozen Of times, and have sympathized
with the Irish, down 10 the chambermaid, who

wants to establish schools without prayer or

of all lrishmen, and particularly to all those who

are all right on these points.
Greeley, therefore, has only committed another
Shevegammon hlunder in running, with his pants-
looms in his hands almost, into Tammany Hall He
did nothing, but nearly kicked up row. The idea
Of his believing in Fourier, and being opposed to
the Pope-for he rcjoiced over the defeat OF his
Holiness, and his flight from Rome-the idea that
such man, follower Of Robespeirre and Fourier,
should preside at an Irish meeting, was enough to
create row in Tammany Hall, that would take
the roof of the building, and land il in the vale Of
| Slievegammon. We are far ahead Of Greeley
among the Catholic Irish. the sound Irish, the
patriotic Irish, and not the Slievcgammon Irish.
