The Journal is extremely bitter against the Hon.
John C. Clark, for having voting ngainS, the Sub
treasury bill II inlimae> plainly that Mr. Clark is
in the power and under The control OF Biddt, and
charges distinctly that "the democracy have been
betrayed amcjntg betrayed" By Mr.. Clark and
the Conservatives who voted with him on that ques-
ton And ii adds" That democrat who win now
suffer any thing but the triumph Of his principles TO
influence his action sunworlby to BE- numbered with

We ShaH be bettcr ritt0nt hin THIN rikb him" Such
is the tone Of denunciaton employed by The Journal
towards Mr. Clark But We think he will survive
IL. The Conservatives elsewhere are treated in the
same harsh manner. They have nothing To fear
from the abuse Of The loco-focos. They have the
satisfaction 10 know that, regardless Of mere party
considerations they have done their duty 10 their
country The people will next TALL render lri-
umphant verdict in their favor.

How N. p TALLMApeE.-Ths gentleman is now
filing large space in the public eye. He has been
the warm supporter of General Jackson, and being
advocate Of the doctrines which raised this great
warrior to the presidential chair, he was not only
elected TO honorable posts in the legislature OF the
State of New York bit afterwards elected Senator
Of the United States from the Empire State" His
family have been OF those who always stood fore
most in the advocacy OF old-fShioned repub'caniSm
including, in every particular The doctrines OF
rights. The Hon. N p. Tallmsdge has also been
the supporter Of Mr.. Van Buren,, and would have
continued his support Of that individual ii he had
h,en less reckless Of the interest Of the country 10
propose measures, the tendency of which are To re-
duce our once prosperous country 10 the situation of
the serve subjects Of European dcspos. He is OPP
posed TO the Sub-treasury scheme because he believes
its enactment will be fatal stab TO The liberties of
the country and thus believing, he has, like Marcus
Curtius thrown himself into the breach, at the risk
OF executive displcaSure; and, with his hiah and
lofty talents, taken up the cause of the people which,
if right is to be triumphant, will nc victorious. We

primary cause Of the with which the resumption
