"I will remove no incumbent from office, who has faithfully and honestly acquitted himself of the duties of his office,"

Thus said John Tyler, in his address to the people of the United States, on assuming the office of President of the United States, vice William Henry Harrison, deceased.

We have seen how much disposed he is to keep his word, in the recent flagitious removal of the venerable and patriotic Jonathan Roberts, from the collectorship of Philadelphia. That, however, is but a single instance of hundreds that have already occurred since the President's compact with the locos. A more extensive proscription has never been carried on in the United States, for opinion's sake, than the one now in progress. Nor is it of an ordinary character. The President, with the spirit of the male tiger that devours his own offspring, is turning upon the officers of his own creation—upon the very whigs who were appointed to office by himself before his willing seduction from his own party. Such, we need not say, was the act in regard to Jonathan Roberts.

We add some further illustrations:

N. Y. Com.

WHY WAS HE REMOVED?—The Litchfield Enquirer, in noticing the removal of the Whig postmaster of that place, says:—A very complimentary letter accompanied the discharge, to Mr. Whiting, for having performed his official duties in a worthy manner, and that no design was intended to reflect aught against his private or official character by this removal.

If Mr. Whiting performed the duties of his office in so faithful a manner, the question naturally arises—for what cause was he removed? Can any friend of President Tyler give the desired information?

Col. Eli Wilson has been appointed P. M. at Middletown, in place of E. N. Starr, removed.

Col. W. is a Tyler Conservative Loco Foco.

More Tylerising in Chenango County, N. Y.—The annexed letter is from a sound man and staunch Whig, though far from being a brawling partisan, and it furnishes one more illustration of the wisdom of that homely but safe old adage—"never buy a pig in a bag" as the Whigs did their last candidate for Vice President.

Post Office, Norwich, Sept 12.

To the Editor of the Daily Advertiser:

Dear Sir:—Our conscientious President, who "never proscribes men for opinion's sake," has this day ordered me to stand aside and make room for Squire Smith, a man after his own heart—a brawling Locofoco—one who talks more politics than any other man in our village, and has spent his life and substance in the service of Locofoism, Dorrism and Tylerism; all of which qualify him for a good Post Master, under John Tyler. "Consistent" man is our President. He "strains at a gnat and swallows a camel."

Very respectfully, your ob't serv't.

JONATHAN WELLS.
