THE DIABOLICAL PLOT-THE REVE-
NUE-DISTRIBUTION.

ton meditated by the Clay Wings in Congress
Our information has been sneered at by the
ay-whig press-but it was nevertheless true
few weeks more will develope everything.
The demoniac plan to crush the President
was concocted and determined on by the Dicta-
Tor himself The magnitude and complication
Of the machinery required great circumspection
and foresight in its formation. Its author was
not deficient in mind. The diabolical instru-
ment is now completed and awaits the day set
apart (Mr. Fillmore managed his part very
adroitly-givng his action the appearance of an
after hought"-skilfuly avoiding the suspi-
con of premeditation) for erecution, to receive
the victim.
Seven long months have rolled by, and Con-
gress has done nothing but to erect a
machine to torture the President. Exchequer,
Tariff Distribution, all have been neglected,
Notwithstanding the cries of the People. The
Dictator decreed that nothing should be done for
the country, until the President was killed
And now the day approaches. Fourteen days
more, and there will be no means of collecting
the revenue, and the sums arising from the pub
lie lands mast be distributed among the States.
After yielding implicit obedience to the. man
date of the Dictator, having remained idle and
inactive seven months, the ultra Wing Congress
frames a bill of twelve lines, in violation of the
Compromise act, and like band of cold blood
ed lnquisitors, resolve to bind the President up
on their Internal wheel-apply the engines of
torture-and offer him no other alternative but
instant recantation or political death. They
say that his belief in the inviolability of the
Compromise act must be Internationally re-
canted, and his sense of the proprlety of sus-
pending the Distribution until the national debt
is paid, repudiated-or he shall now be broken
on the wheel so carefully prepared for the occa-
sion He must put on sack cloth and ashes at
their bidding, and bow himself in the dust-ac-
knowledge himself at the mercy Of his tormen-
ters-sacrifce his consistency, his conscience,
his honor, or undergo instantaneous mmola-
llon They have brought During the Sepen
months wasted) the finances of the country to
the verge of ruin-they have (hey think) plac-
ed the President between themselves and the
precipice-spears are cleaning in their hands
he must (they think y crave the mercy Of the
Dictator, or be hurled down the Tarpean rock
If the revenue of the country is annhilated
within the next thirty days Notwithstanding the
seren months apdsted) the President must (they
think y die the death-the Whig death
And this is the death-the Utig death--they
offer, or deliberate (they think) dishonor! Will
the Wings Of the country approve their con-
duct2 We trust not! But if they do, the APP
peal is to the PEOPLE. What will the Peo-
pie say to such an indignity offered to the Chief
Magistrate of the nation2 What will they say
if the alternative of dishonor or death Wing
death-should be presented to the PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES? What would the DE-
MQCRATS say? All here we have the
Dictator and his base minions What would
the DEMOCRATS say? They would say
that the death the ultra Wings could infict on
the President, would only elevate him into a
reach of their assaults
If the Dictator doubts the Presidents nerue,
let him proceed with his Vaccinations Even
Mr. Clay himself, or the basest of his minons,
never yet dared TO express doubt OF his honor.
II they think now to assail it successfully, let
them venture on the attempt John Tyler
would unhesitatngly sacrifice both political and
human life, if it were necessary, to maintain his
purity Even now, when the result of all their
schemes plans and plots, is apparent, and the
GREAT CRISIS is at hand, he defes their malice.
Armed with the intellect and the purity Of mo-
i've which God gave him, he stands unmoved,
unawed, over the political volcano they have
prepared for his destruction. And there he will
stand, UNFRAMED! He stands before his coun-
try, not guilty and fallen, but with a brow
erect, and consciousness of rectitude.
We ask no favors Of the Clay Wing MAORI
ty in Congress. If the approaching crisis is to
prove disastrous to the country, it Is all their
own doing. They have filled the chalice with
bitterness by their screen months delay. II it
must be quaffed, they shall drink it! Such will
be the verdict of the People.
The People have beheld the unworthy con-
duct of this president making" Congress
They have marked the shameful attempts to
'head" the President. They have seen Con-
gress idle away seven months, and then peril
the rerenue OF The country FOR WANT OF TINE to
pass law providing for the collection of the du-
ties! The Clay legislators have consumed
seren months without attempting TO do any
thing, and now they only have fourteen days in
which TO pass the most important measure of
the session! And this they frame in so ''ques-
tonabe shape" that they hope it will ''head
the President' at last. OF course the Presi-
dent will do his duty. Whether it will be his
duty to sign the bill, we know not yet, and say
not--but we do know that the Clay Wings
would do any thing to ruin him with the Wing
party 1t is fortunate thing that their party
is not the country.
This TOO. is their last hone Of forcing a resig-
