Vith.all the profligacy and degeneracy of the
presentday, the disregard of moral obligation;
nutrrepudintion of solemn contracts, whp could
have belieVed it possiblc,that within a few, months
after this man's accession to office, he should have
proved the only obstacle to the establishment of a

support for' he fatrlstablie.ejaimed to have given
the Whig party ; rejoiced over the success of Loco
feeds, claimed each defeat of the Whigs as a Ty-.

he had been elevated, as Federalists, tories and
.rlestructives, and to have 'administered the gov
ernment with an-exclusive reference to the defeat
of Mr. Clay attho next election, whom be thought
at the time of his own (dealer' to the only fit
man in the nation to fill the place 7 Ali this has
he. done, arid now (to use the parliamentary
• phraseology of the Locofeco,s) is "employed by

--shun.all connexion.with him with as much-loath
..
legend disgust as they would kick a filthy cur out
of a gentleman's parlor, es so6ll as the job's per.
formed: - They tickle iim for a veto—it comes.;
and they-laugh at him fora fool. They coax,him
for an office—lie gratifies them ; and they de
nounce him as a knave. They flatter him for
the removal of a -worthy Whim Of his own ap
pointment—he complies; and 'they despise him
for a traitor. •
Does not every man in the country, not blinded
and besotted with raga for office and patronage,
rocognizo this as true? \And lie boasts like-a
simpleton, because he can ahuse his power by the
removal of a Whig, and the appointment of a
Locofoco, that he has killed the Whig party—
vain, conceited man!!! That he has obstructed
the passage of their measures, rind defeated their
present plans for the relief of a suffering country,
-can admit of no doubt; and if it is a sourer of
any Fratification to him let him treasure up the
admission—it is freely made ; but that he has
either destroyed, or maimed the \Vhig party for
future , usefidness, or impaired their numbers, is
about as probable as that a guat.could sting an ox
to deiriliby attacking the point of his horns; the
capacity of John Tyler to the one is about equal
to the power of the gnat to do the other—oven
with the "Goddihe Daniel" enlisted in his cause.
'-Bye the bye, is it'not amusing to see the Prime
Minister attempting to pass the Captain off in
Boston as "a very ill used man," because the Whip
of Massachusetts have disclaimed - alt,cOnneetiorr
with, and ,responsibility for his majesty—while
his F:xcelfency, in Washington, almost at the mo
ment the Secretary in speaking, declares ho never
was a Whig, and cuts Off all connection with
them? • * " • • a * •
But there is a part of that Faneuil Hall speech
that should , not go unobserved ; nor should it be
allowed to pass unexplained. Upon subjects of
- gilt and genie importiffice, iffectiefra - riathin a
weal, no, man has thiright to trifle or prevaricate,
and - a public agent, the people's representative,
least of all.
Within a few days cella on which the Fancuil
Hall speech was made, the Madisonian, in refer
ence to Mi. Tyler and the Bank,. said—" With a
view to set the matter forever at rest,'we distinet
ly declare, that between the nomination and eke
lion' of Mr. Tyler to' therm° Presidency, and
during the 'intermediate session of Congress, Mr.
Tyler declared thathis views, in, respect to the
constitutionality of a bank were unchanged, and
that if-President, ho could -never“ . coirrient- to ap
prove a Bank charter while, the clinstitution . -re.,
mained unchanged." Now '
without comment, I
'bring in direet'contact with this "by authority"
statement, the declaration of the Prime Minister
• at * Farwell Haft;
.Mr: Webster Biqa: "At the'speeial session of'
Congress, theAectetary . of the Treasury,.Mr. Fw

Sleighing:
The' snow, which we MiticeilinJour last as hay.
ing_:Commeneed_falling--on Wednesday morning,
continued throughout -the \ day, until there was 'a .
depth of about nine inches: - The rail 'reads were
filled up'—the cars stepped—the mails thrown
to_malie up for these privations there
were three 'days of pretty good sleighing. Near
ly every body Was out of course, and while it last
ed there - was considerable fun; flash and frolic,
besides, we suppose, various indulgences in the
"largest liberty" peculiar to sleighing-times,sueb
as furious driving; dashing thro' turnpike gates,
(without asking or being tolPtl) with other wild
pranks, which no one can complain of during the
-life.and-gaie.ty-ef—the. merry season. Thoisind,
nesa.of a friend, enabled us, too, to indulge slight
ly in the general festivity,--n treat which we en
joycd with the highest zest, as the pa
dry of motion' and the chime of the 'inert • bolls
lulled us for a brief season into forgetfulness of
our many perplexities and canhering.,cares.
But the bright snow his departed—on Monday
it was wet, with a dense and Alisinat fog—yester.
day dawned bright and,clear, and the prospect is
I fair for fine weather. In one week - we have had
nil Varieties of weather—as thefacetious Thomas
Hood would poetically describe it: "First-it blew,

Death of Sheriff 11.14E-ris.
Henry Morris, Esq.,lligh Sheriff of rhiladelphin
city nod comity, died on Thursday htst of a sudden
attack of apoplexy. fie fell down in the street, hut
was taken up immediately and medical aid procured
but all efforts were unavailing to restore him. 114 r.
Morris was sixty-six years of age—he was the son
of Robert Morris, the financier of the Revolution,
to idiom the nation is so much indebted.
The duties of Sheriff devolve upon the Coroner
until another is appointed and commissioned -by the
Governor.

this case; exhibit by their good conduct that they;
