The editor of the Richmond Whig has published the prospectus of journal, which .s proposes to establish at Washington. The object of this paper is to abuse President Tyler, aad prove that there is no man in the world 80 fit to hold his office as Henry Clay. In his farewell address to his patrons of the Whig, Mir. Pleasants says that he has known MrTyler well ,and that he is asionshed that man SO common place, much inferior to "many fifty s

 ling lawyer should seriously aspire to the first sta- ton among mankind" In addition, he calls him ' hastarved lawyer" and all sorts of epthets to prove that he is mere upstart, without acquire nlent or capacity for any respectable office.

 Now, if we remember alright, thls same consistant gentleman was of the most ardent supporters of Tyler for Vice President. Before the election ao better entitled to honor in his estimation than ''his Accidency the Presdent,' now, however, his abuse is as bitter his former panegyric was warm and enthusiastic. We admit that Mir. PIeasants handles very caustic pen, and is mean adept in the art of abuse; but it is morying to be obliged at the same time to say, that he induses these qualities at the expense of truth consistency and that makes men honorable. We care nothing about Presi- dent Tyler politician. He is one of your halfway hestating philosophers, who have not made up their minds to the popular capacity, and who cling to past errors, as though they were part of the vitality of modern existence. For these faults we feel no great admiration for him, but as man-as an up- right, well-meaning politician, we have more coni- dence in him than could in twenty Henry Cays His very doubts-his hesitation; his dislike to dis appoint the expectations of the men who elect d him, prove that he has done only through conscientious convictions. Who ever saw Henry Clay doubt or he- state when the of his party were at stake?

 But this is not exactly the moral of Mir. Peasants' prospectus. It IS the utter abandonment of decency and honesty, where party is concerned, which runs through il. When Mir. Tyler nominated. it bending opponent of a bank--an opposition assumed through conscientious and patriotic motives He was nominated because he was known to entertain that opposition. Yet when by accident he is thrown into station where those conscientious motives must influence him. be totally disregarded, he IS abused by his friends because he chooses the better course and acts as his convictions suggest. Is not this base abandonment of reason to the tyrannic rule of party? and can those who insist upon its proprety be in any wise fit to direct inform public opinion, as Mir. Pleasants proposes to do ! We would with as much confidence set up orger to lecture on pub c morality, to submit the dictates of such man.

 The object of this partisan fury is plain, and Mir. Pleasants betrays it too plainly to be considered very deep or shrewd parsonage. It IS this:-Harri- son was nominated because no other man could con centrate all sections well as he; and Tyler was nominated for the same reason. Their election was to be the stepping-stone to Clay, and Bank with all it's power of bribery, its facility to nate public prosperity for four years, to come in as very important adjunct Through this temporary prospe- rity, the whigs were to the credit of peculiar wisdom, and Clay, the chief mover of the Bank was to be elected President. As conse. quence, Mir. Pleasants and the other wire-work- CTS were to reap the benefit by fat offices; and the whigs to be snugy and costly seated in pow until they got tired of it. But the death of the su- perannuated Harrison was terrible blow to all this well concerted scheme. Even then, however, des- pair was not depicted in the party visase until il found that Tyler had some honesty. and considera Dle degree of frmness. As soon as this appalling discovery was made, the friendship of expcdiency, which the party gave to Tyler, was turned to the
