Capt. TYLER and Major MAGRuDER, who, by
force of arms, quelled the disturbance Not
withstanding the prompt interference Of the
President was sustained by the appreciation of
all good men, the charge was boldly made by
the mongrel opposition TO the Democratic par
~, that The chef magistrate OF the Union bad
usurped his authority, in calling out tue Ma
rnes, and was responsible for the blood spilled
on that lamena5le occasion. What now does
the record prove! The people Of Washing

defeated at its very door. The issue was ac-
cepted by the Democracy, and the result shows
how handsomely the administration has been
sustained.

having suffered from the mad rule Of the dark
lantern party for several years, it appears that
the citizens are determined TO Inaugurate new
state OF affairs. A resort 10 revolution is at all!

II wltl be very gratifying to the business and
industrious portion Of our people to know, that
the financial and commercial affairs of our
country are assuming healthy condition. In
referring 10 this matter, the Washington Union
of tbr 9lh inst, says:
"The statistics for May show a gradual, and,
