Poor John Tyler, has received the first le


climate instalment of the reward of his pre-
cious infamy, and treachery to the whig


party, at the hands of his dear democ ratio


friends, by the election of the editors of the


Globe, as printers to the Lower House. A


more deadly thrust to his hopes and expec-
tations could not have been given. by those
with whom he has been pandering for office
and place. fer the last two years, than the
election Of his most Inveterale foes 10 an of


fee Of SO much influence and responsibility.


His complaints at such ingratitude are loud
and long but they never fall upon the
sympathysing ear Wretched man com


planning of ingratitude towards himself


when ingratitude on his part, is the only
act that immortalized him, and placed his
name even above that of an Arnold in the
scale ofinfamy. If a sense of grateful emo
lions, could not quell and subdue that unho-
ly ambition. which induced him to desire
what his friends could not give, consistently
with theif former promises, if his obligations
could be violated, with so little remorse and
indifference, as even to suffer him to issue
an appea! to his friends and supporters, as
king them not TO abandon him, on account of
his seeming departure from the broad plat
form of whig principles, what could he
expect of those. who countenanced his trea-
son but treason in return Had he sound
ed the depth of depravity existing in his
own heart, whilst meditating on the betray-
al of friends and country, the truth might
have flashed on his mind, that the traitor
becomes equally the object of scorn and con-
tempt to the betrayed. and to those ~ no
sought to profit by encouragin ing cherry
consequently, he has no more reason 10 com
plain of locofoco ingratitude, than Arnold
had of British coldnes>, neglect and con-
tempt. To whatever extent an individual
may be stepped in inramy. there are still
some redeeming qualities that shine forth,
through the shades of moral darkness that
envelope his character. Arnold merits
our esteem for his cool courage and indom-
liable bravery. John Tyler merits our re-
spect, for the display of nice discrimina.
tlon ln the selection of subjects to minister
to his unholy ambition. Men of ordinary
capacity in this respect. would, in nine ca
ses out of ten, have selected the partv In
power, and that with which they were iden-
titled, and attempted to mould them acco rd-
ing to their own desires and purposes; but
be knew too much ofthat infexble honesty
and perfect integrity. which cemented the
whig party through years of misfortune
and defeat, and finally. BY accumulated
masses of popular virtue, and intelligence
enabled them to give their first triumphant
shout of victory To tamper with such men
would be useless as we'll might he have
attempted to distract the order and harmony
of the heavenly bodies as to ind uce the
whig party to deviate single line from th cir
principles, to accom- modate him or any 9th
er man, to second term in the Presidential
chair; consequently, a party of easier po-
litlcal virtue must be sought for, and where
could he look with greater prospect of suc-
cess. than to those who elected Gen. Jack. |
son on the one term principle. and by chan
ging their principles, elected him second |
time. greater compliment could not be |
paid to the wings, than by never having any
overtures made to them by the Captain he
knew it was useless, and therefore in one |
instance displayed something like good |
sense.
