 Ws~rra so well pleased with the following article fe'pecti"g this pary-t places the sujec, tn so clear Ishi='Aat we arc induced to iransplan, is to our colns in place or aay specola,ions which we mieh, he dsP"sed to make. Wecobid in tks state point to "amerosa eases loot o be sure of men oi quite % much prominence as Mesars. Clay and Callounl where old aashioned demneras becanse they wosld not bow the k"ee 10 king Andrew and vociGera.e grea, is Mar tin his apponsed successor," have heen huu,ed down with all that malgnity which chasacterizes the most 'esoesous species of fdemagogues We might instance such mea as Gideon Tomlinson, Abraham Bishop, Jeremy HOa.lley, Orange Merwin, and host of o,h. eds who because they cannot conscen,io6sy forsake heir former principles. and support the urafetlera notions ot Andrew Jaekson and his ollowess are de- "ou"ccd as federass, arissocrats and 90 through the whole st oi cant phrases which te povsv know % well how to use. But .o the arGcIe-which is from 'he N. Y. Advessiser :- ..-.t
 "Ihc time seems to have arrived. when |, hecomcs necessary 'o make some inquiry after what has long bee" called the .' 'Repstiicsn PGrsy." Sc much is sa" "aost is. such hghAemands aye constantly made 'orh h i's merits arc blasonsd forth from day to day, and from year to year n such brilliant colours the people are said to be under such immense obligations '" i. and t is affirmed that the Constitution and the Uaio1 have been preserved solely by its patriotic and di'"teresied exersons, iha. there ought ,o he no d euIiy ih aaceriaiDng where h a and of what materials " is composed. And surely there should he some. body, among ihe vast mals;lsde who are said to be- long to , who is both able aa.l willing so inform the public where bis important body may be lound and sy what characaeris,ic marks t may he known. We hope sject in making this inquiry will nos be mis- understood. Being entirely unable ,o answer the IaesaioR ourseives. short awd simple as t h aUd be- Sesins there ace many ohers who feel ,he same kind "feuriasisy thaa we do. take ihe liberty to ask ," this psblc maDner, whh ahe hcpe lcas tha. from some quarter we may receive . satisfactory ansser.
 TAat there are real difficulties in ahe ease, cannot ne questioned by any person who has turned his a,ien to" to the course of things in this cosnry for the last thirty years Whea- Mv. Jeaevraa ,pas iW ofsee, and indeed beors he is olce, he was called the great repsblican. sad his friends were called he exclusive republicans of the coaatsy. This las.ed as loag as 'he iaaeRce ofhis nas was 6sls and acknowledeesi after which, republication. or so speak mora appso- priaely, the republican, party assumed diAsren as. peei.
 h 1907, Nar. John Qsincy Adlams, who had psevi. ousy been considered as seesalisi, over che Repahlica" Party. rather so Ar. JeHersoo, which aAe" was the same thing.

 Mr. Henry Clay was lor time, the very del of che RspshIican Party. They could not say esosgh in hs Sav"r, aor heap t"o many offices and honors apoO kim.

He discarded from ther raaks. with every mark of consmey, and every serm of reproach that tho language furnished, and down to ie present iims he has been the object of their bit- ieresa ranc0ur. M The late Dewitt Ciiaios shared similar fate.
