Oiler af*isioti to such a scheme—As rnoic than one 1
ol if!t?u» h is remarked in our presence, “while 1 am
obliged io him («»r Ins veto, I would not touch him
with a ten loot pole.” The leaders themselves, we
doubt Bet, ful'y sympathize iu tins feeling ol hos
tility tu Mr. Tyler, not withstanding tlnir compli
ments io his “moral courage/’ his “Roman firm
ness/’ and all tint sort ol thing; hut thev know that
it is necessary to mask the r real sent intents, if they
would succeed m their ell »rt tu “scatter fin brands”
in the W big tanks. They do not intend, any
more than the great body of their party, to support
Mr. Tyler’s re-election. No hing is lurlher limn
their purpose. Rut after deluding him with the |
hope that they will do so, until they shall hate
succeeded in involving him with lies old (iicmls, to
whom he owes his present elevation, they will then
unceremoniously lay him aside, -m > worthless fool, (or
which ihey have i o lurlher use. Their triumph, if,
by their univoiihy arts, they succeed iu regain ng
the power which they lost by their mis government*
will not “enure to the benefit” of a recreant \\ h g,
liowev r eminent that Whig may have been rendi i
cd/»y Ins jiofitliun. They have in their own ranks
too many aspirants, pain mg for the Spoils, and who
will not snfler themselves tu be j ailed out ol the
way, to “rewaid a inuu wliu, lur twelve yeais, has
been wagi g fieice war upon tin-in tV upon (heir prm
ci pies, and who but ha If concurs with them now upon
.1 single question. We say but half concurs; because
while they are opposed to a Bank, in any I n in ami by
any name, he has pledged hisell to give Ins assent to
a Bank in some yet undeveloped shape—and it is
undeniable and undeuied, tiial, if Kwmg’s bill had
passed, he would have “theeilully” signed it — lur
mo lie Inins* ll declared to tin* Oh o delegation
outlie l.'Hi August, thiec days only befuie l.e
M« nt in his Iiist vein! We say nothing ol the cruelty
ol thus mocking the President wuh delusive, ihough
it may be only impliid piomises. 11 Mr. Tyler im
“soli enough,” to be cheated by their hollow profes
sions, he at least will des1 rve no coiniitiseratiun; nor
will the "Cabal," w Inch, ♦ qually credulous ns their
chief, are doomed to no less signal a disappointment
— becoming I lie tail,'is they must, of the new coa
lition, ol wli cli tliev now loudly dicam ol being the
head.
How can the Locos support John Tyler's re elec
lioi ? Without looking f.nthei back than the com
mencement of Ins Administration, we ask,— Has he
not, if they me to be believed, been guilty ol
the most rutl Proscription? Has lie not lor
months made i el Webster, the great impeisotia
110n, accordi g to them, of anc ient Pedetahsm, Ins
most prominent official adviser ? lias he no: held
official communion with Liang* r “the Abolitionist,"
and with Kwing, the “butcher” ai d the “upstiit?”
Did he not approve of a bill giving $J5.000 to tin
heirs of Leo. Harrison ? lias he not consented to
the repeal of the Sub-Treasury, that “great measure
ol Deliverance and Liberty?” Has he not appro
ved of a Bankrupt Bill ? lias lie not signed the
Distiibution Bill, which many of them say is even
worse than tl e Bank lull, — most of them denou* cmg
il as uocoiistmilum.i', and as a system ol legalized
plunder ? — (the very thing, by the way, which it will
prevent ) Has he not sign'd a bill authorizing a
loan ol twelve millions of dollars, which they say
“creates” a National Debt to that amount, and
which, however untrue the assertion, necessarily
throws them in opposition to him? All tin se, and
many other acts, which the Locos condemn, has .Mr.
Tjl«r done, or assented to, within (lie last two
months: How, then, can they support him—h< u\ we
emphatically repeat, particularly when, although
they rejoice over his Bank vetoes, he does not even
concur with them upon that question—being willing
to sanction i Bank ol Kxchangc, with the assent of
the States? The idea is supremely ridiculous and
we should wonder at the credulity which seems
to have swallowed n so eagerly, if we did not happen
to be aware of some rirt umstanccs in Mr. Tyler's
political career, which have long satisfied t s that
it is not difficult to control Ins actions when he is
under the n llueuce ol his muster-passion. More
than once has he lent himsell to his opponents to
circumvent his friends; and sometimes, when the
hook was so unskilfully baited, 'll it il ho had not been
blinded by Ins ambition, lie might have seen its
very beard exposed.
We yet hope, however, that M r. Tyler may recov
er In m Ins delusion, and, that, when Congress next
meets, petlect confidence may be restored between
the Kxecutivc and a majority ol that body, who
represent a common constituency, ami who ought
to have a common object in view. Il, union unite*
ly, however, Mi. Tyler shall throw liiinse!! into the
arms of his opponents, — or if, still worse, he slirll
yield himsell to the guidance of that vision n v and
j "impracticable" c« rporal's squad, to whom lit* seems
thus far to have surrendered his judgment—we
shall hold that the li hig parly proper is not in pow
er, and cannot be held responsible for the results of
lus Ailnnst ration, be they disastrous or beneficial.
They went into power wi h certain specified and a
vowed duties to perform —far the rn »si important
of whit ii, and that indeed upon which all the others
depended, was the restoration of a s mnd currency,
which had been destroyed, as, with but lew excep
tions. they uniformly contended, by the • vcrihrow ol
the National Hank in 183G. In tins gieal and pri
mary ol jeer, the Whig tnajnrrv in Cnngirm has
been thwarted by the veto of the Whig Pn.silent
—slrang-ly as lire lacl sounds. It now renin >
lor him to tell us by whit means this desideratum
is to he effected — what sort of a “Fiscal Agent" he
meant in his Message to Congress which can give
us the bh ssmg of a “mnrem v ol uniform value,"
and, as lie remarked in Ins Address to the People
of the Tinted States, on assuming the chan vacated
by ihe dealh ol the now more than ever lamented
ll.mison, “secure to labor its i >st reward." It
his scheme he such a one as the Wings, in and out
of Congress, can approve, q11 may yet go well : but
we confess that it is difficult lo imagine any praeii- !
cable fotin of Fiscal Agent which can produce
these saluta. s, oilier than those which have
already been | settled for his cons.deration. We
heartily wi, lithe President and tin country • salt
dehvetauce !

“The Di-tnbii 1 ti hill Ins become a law. The

when, by the act ol the /'resident, it becomes a law

their wrath would have hurst upon us like Alpine

repeal ol the Sub-Treasury is not even complained
of it all—and the cty ol Proscription no longer rings
in Pic public ear !
Hut the reasons given by the LnquirePs corres

Piesnh nl’s excuse w-ith Ins new Loco Loco friends ?
'I’ll* wilier seems to speak by authority — but we
hope, for the President’s sake, that he only utters
Ins own imaginary reasons, ll being President by
accident, should h ve had any ii fluence, it would
have heen as will to have given that consideration
some hole weight when the Rank bill was before
hi n. Rut then what connection is there between
the two subjects, that the necessity of a veto upon
one b il measure, should constrain him to approve
of atioth»*r ! Is it true that the President sig ed the
Dist 1 ibution bill, while he dis »p roved of it. only be

of “Hank inlliins." It was iu substance, that the

by Mr. (’lay of A'a'uimi, who *• thought the
('resident did not know the true state of affairs'*!!_
Mr. ( lay ol Ky. expressed his surprise at this ex
traordinary proposition, and at ihc soutce fioru
whence tins mark of disrespect proceeded. Mr.
Clay slated that five cop es of all public docu

theief .re,w« re already in his possession. The Pres . 'I*
dent ignorant of the condition ol the Public Lauds !
This is a high compliment, surely, to Mr. Tyler,
Itom his new liie ds !—The debate was continued
for some time, ami finally the resolution was laid on
the table* The Revenue Hill was then taken up ;
and ti amendment proposed to place Sail anion*
the free ankles,—which, after a long debate, was
nega ived, by a vote of 23 to 21. Mr. Walker pro

negatived, 33 to 12 A proposition to admit K ail
Koad iron Ir e • I duty for all public roads com
menced since the act of 183G, and subjecting all
such iron to a do y ol 20 per cent, imported I r
new works, w s ad,»r|)ted. An amendment proposed
by Mr. W oodbury to place to ae wonls among the
i 1.1 (Hied articles subject to a duty of 20 per cent.
wa« r j tied; but, on motion ol Mr. W. all wools
over the value of 8 cents ate to pay that duty. A
I roposition to .1 hint Grease among the free article*,
was i * j cied, 2 j to 18 , and the Senate adjourned.
In tin1 House ol Kcresentat ivcs, t lie committee on
expenditures was directed to report at the next ses
