The STATE is as certainly 10. tic administration, as that
the 'sun will rise ,o>morrow," to use the language of
another print.
In short, we have bat little apprehension of JAG kson's
success. Let the friends ofthe administration do their
duty and all will be well. Blind security and consequent
inactivity may lose the most promising cause. 'ris
that we have 10 fear, and nothing else. Temperance,
hrmness, and we may yet save ourselves from military
rule and seeing the last refuge OF liberty, gradually
sinking into the arms of the military spirit.
The Loudon Times and Courier, the leading Tory
papers, have cspoused the cause Of Gen. Jackson.-
They think him most ft for President, and ttev wisb
him success. After the Revolution and until the war
OF 1879, Great Britain endeavored to DESTROY this Union.

failed. Her policy now is, TO sow discomfort in the
southern states, and through their dislike to the tariff,
either TO bring about 4 repeal of that measure, which
has given a vital stab 10 her manufacturing prosperity,
or a dissolution Of The Union. Hence her ministerial
Journals advocate Gen. jackson, and hence we see
certain gentlemen here, who hare always been her
s'cadisst advocates in every dispute between her aud
'neir own country, scconding her views also on Ibis oc

advice from his most implacahle and ungcnerous enemies:
who has asked them for advice as to the personal course
Dir. Clay ought now 20 pursue! What fool will take the
advice of his worst enemy:
We do not dread the appeal howeve. if 1t should be
made. We do not believe, indeed, that from the Jackson
men in Congress, Mr.. Clay would receive justice, but there
IS a redeemine sriri, in the nation, which will keen even
them in order. Why, if they have so nantes, proof of Mr..
Ciay's guilt, do they not impeach him and the President.
Why do they invite him to throw himself upon Conpress
for trial, when the Constitution points out the mode of
bringing him to justice? The injustice and persecution
with which MIR. Clay is parsued in this matter, is diaholi-
cal-it has no touch of humanity. When first accused he

taking it for granted that the nation thinks Kim guilty.,
