Ma EvEREr1's SPEscH--The patriotic rea-
der will be gratihed 10 find the residue Of Mr.

umphant ,indica,ion from the previous assaults
of its unprincipled adversa,ies. In particular,
we would direct the readers attention to the
passage in which Mr.. L. puts down The foul
and Infamous libel on the Presidents lacy, lale-
" published by the opposition. How truly did
Gov. Clinton, in his late message, say thai "par

roying spirit, has gone forth, regardless ofeve-
