The President and The Guerriiias.

the death Of Gen. Harrison, the nonde5cripts
in Politics and that portion Of the Press
which subserves the cause of Loco-Fo;olsm
under the guise Of neutrality at once
claimed him for their own They fat
tered, cajoled, wheedled, dipped him with
the notion Of being no-party President,
ard as such reelected by a general uprising
of the People regardless Of party distnc-
tions. With binding mist thus cast be-
fore his eyes, Mr.. Tyler walked onward TO
bis doom, waking too late to find himself
betrayed by those he had trusted and
scorned by those he had too faithfully served.
They led him blindfold into the camp of his
enemies, and these, rewarded his infdelity to
those by whom he had been elected by like
infdelity to him. When he ceased to have
'Spoils' to dole out, or power to misuse,
they ceased their mockery of regard for
him, and he left the White House more
forsaken, fallen being than ever Aaron Burr
| had been.
The same class Of hybrid politicians have
discovered rare merits in Mr.. Fillmore since
his sudden elevation to the Presidency;
thew are yoluble in his laudation and prompt
in bis defense against any intimation that
he may have erred in judgment; they are
fond of drawing comparisons between him
and Gen. Taylor to the disparsgement of the
latter; they intimate that his accession has
rescued the country from great evils into
which it was rushing under the guidance of
bis predecessor they announce that he has
changed the policy Of the Administration;
and, in short, they would like to lead him
the dance they led Tyler, to similar doom.
There is one obstacle to the realization
of their hopes which these gentlemen may
as we'll apprehend, for they will find it a
very serious one: Mr.. FILLMORE is WING.
Grind him in any mill you please, and he
will come out that lie did not turn Wing
at the eleventh hour, as Tyler did from hos
tility to Gen. Jackson's Force bill, but he
has wintered and summered in the Wing
ranks, and, whatever may be his faults, pc
itical regeneration is not among them.
His attachment to his party is genuine-he
would not swerve hair from his principles
| if he could thereby secure reelection from
his lifelong dversaries-indeed, he would
refuse reelection at their hands. No man
in the Nation felt more deeply or resented
more Indignantly the treachery of Tyler,
and merely because it ,oas treaehery, i'm
PEELED by sordid ambition. There never
was a greater mistake made than employ
| ing upon him the arts Of seduction that
proved successful with Tyler. Mr.. Fill
more is Whigin every Notwithstanding
lover Of Peace and an enemy of Conquest
champion of Internal Improvement, Of Pro-
lection to Home Industry, and that whole
benefcent System which recognizes the diff
fusion of Plenty and the diminution of Mis-
cry as among the legitimate duties of Gov
eminent. There was never a more unprom-
isirg subject for the experiments of the by
birds than he is.
- For our own part, our day of whole
sale laudation of all the public acts of
Statesmen of our own party is over. If the
Governor Of our choice, or the President in
whose principles we confde, commits an
error, in our judgment, we shall not hesitate
to say that such is our Judgment any more
than if be belonged to the other side. To
eulogise his mistakes would be as an ust to
him as to the Country. But that Mr.. Fill
more will, on the momentous and critical
questions which must soon cngross his at
tention, act the part of Statesman, Pat
riot and Wing, is fact beyond contrO.
versy; and in so acting he will call down
on bis own head the maledictisns of those
who were most vociferous in hailing his ac-
| cession and most clamorous in scouting the
audacity Of all who have not declared his
selection Of Cabinet Ministers in all respects
perfect. We give these new friends six
months wherein to keep up a semblance of
devotion TO the President; by the end Of
that term, they will be out upon him with a
determination to atone for past forbearsnce
by future violence of obloquy. Nothing
more clearly foreshadows to our mind the
ferocity of opposition which the new Presi-
dent is fated to encounter than the plaudits
from strange quarters that greeted his &C
cession. Let the result establish or dis
prove the correctness of our fOrebOdiugs.
