man and devil, but keeps a tavern, Is village
schoolmaser, captain in the military, mends his
own boots and shoes, makes patent Brandreih
pills, peddles essences and tin-ware two days
in the week, and always reads sermons on the
Sabbath, when the minister happens to be mis-

LINES.

BY EDWARD YOUNG.
Let those who will, repine at fate
And droop their heads with sorrow;
I laugh when cares upon me wait;
l know they'll leave tomorrow.
Ny purse is light, but what ofthat!
My heart is light to match it;
AND if tear my only coat,
l laugh the while patch it.
I've seen some elves, who called themselves
Ny friends, in summer weather;
Blown far aWayi in sorrows day,
Aswinds would blow feather,
never Grieved to see them go;
(The rascals, who would heed 'em)
For what's the use Of having friends,
If false when you most need em.
I've seen some, in worldly gear.
Eternally repining.
Their hearts prey to every fear;
With gIadness never shining,
IwoUld not change my lishtsome heart,
For all their gold and sorrow;
For that's a thing that all their wealth,
Can neither pay nor borrow.
And still when sorrows come to me,
(As sorrows sometimes will Gomez
find the way to make them fee,
Is bidding them right welcome,
They cannot book a cheerful look,
They're used to sobs and sighing,
And he that meets them with smile,
Is sure to set them flying.

PUBLIC MEETING.

AT meeting Of number of citizens assembled on
the 4th inst. at Washington, Fayette county, Ohio,
SAMUEL McELvAIN elected Chairman Wade
Loofbourrow Esq. then commented upon the present
posture of the political affairs of the United States,
after, which the following resolutions unanimous
ly adopted
l. Resolved That President Tyler, in his first and
second vetoes of fiscal agents. has maintained unfair
nshed his character for consistency, patriotism and
political sagacity.
2. Resolved, That the federal Clay party in Con-
gress by negecting the affairs of the nation prosti-
tuting their time and talents in abusing the man
whom they elevated tc Office in 1910, merit the
demnation of every lover of his country.
3. Resolved, That we approve of President Ty-
ler's recommendation of Strict adherance to the
Compromise Act.
a. Resolved, That we view with regret and dis
dain the arrogant attempts of Henry Clay to become
in every thing but the Dictator the free
people of the United States.
5. Resolved That President Tyler in his official
character has fully redeemed his pledge to administer
Expressed rH p opinio Sso and d principles
&. Resolved, That President Tyler has not in his
official character abused any confidence reposed in
him by the wing party, or violated any principle
avowed by them previous to the election, and that
their present vupeI alton and abuse Oft the whom
they once honored, displays the tratorous and mean
and deep malignty of disappointed aspirants and
demagogues.
7. Resolv, d. That President Tyler in his gallant
defence of the Constitution against the attacks OF
federalism during his administration of the General
Government, deserves warmest thanks and graft
tude.

HIGH-HANDED-A PLOT TO IMPEACH
THE PRESIDENT, OR TO PRODUCE AN
ARCHY AND CONFUSION

ANIL AMI COINr OOlON
We presume there never was, nor ever will be such
set OF partisan leaders associated for RULE RUIN"
that portion of the head-men in whiggery who are
content to be the instruments of Henry Clay
and do his bidding at all times. Arrant Dictator
he is, anybody who is willing to be political despera
do can find favor in his eyes and the support OF
his prominent sycopLants.
With some propriety he has been denominaed "the
magnificent bIag-payer"-not more from his know
ledge of that gambling game at cards than from the
aptitude with which be applies its principles to poti
cal warfare. He has been often poted down by
the people that his political fortunes have become
desperate an he lis ready for anything.
The threat of Clay's emssaries to encamp thou
Gen. Jackson from faithful discharge of his official
duty President of the United States is incident
IN their career not soon to be forgotten. OF SINH
lar character their of 1910, threaten
ing those who differed from them in opinion with
the cartridge box' in the event of their failure to
get into power by the ballot box.'' The threats
OF Mr.. Crttenden, Capt. Stockton, and their hot
headed associates are among the most memorable
characteristics of Clays associates in the late Pres
dental contest.
At the extra session Of 184l, Mr.. Clay entered the
U. s. Senate with the expectation Of controlling
both branches of Congress, and of finding Gen. Har-
sure that he might cause to be matured in the legs-
lative department Before he had accomplished
much, the nation called to the loss of their
President by DEATH and Vice President Tyler ascend
ed to the first chair by virtue OF the constitutional
provision for such contingencies.
Mr.. Tyler refused to be the supple tool OF Mr..
Clay, whereupon the latter resigned his seat in the
Senate. What next? Was not plot forthwith laid
to IMPEACH PRESIDENT TYLER?

Mr. J. r. INGERSOLL asked him to withdraw

After it was disposed of, Mr.. COWAN renewed
his motion to 60 into Committee of the w hole. During
this long session. not one day had yet been devoted to
private bills, although the claimants nervous
and their pressing. He hoped, therefore, that
this day and the next would be apart for private
bills
Mr. J. R. INGERSOLL said that the contingent
bill reported by the Committee of the Whole, on
Thursday, contained mana private claims which he
hoped would not be neglected. The industry of the
committee would be Ruthless if the motion of the gen.
tleman prevailed.
Mr.. COWAN demanded the yeas and nays his
motion, and they ordered. The vote stood ayes
100, nays So.
The House then resolved itself into Committee Of
the Whole, Mr.. SMITH, of Virginia, In the Chair,

bill for the relief of Isaac Justice discussed
by Messrs. Mallory, James, Arnold, and Sprigg. A
motion was made that the bill should be reported
unfavorably
bill for the relief of Captain Allyn, who claims
payment for the passage of General Lafayette to this
country in 1924, was passed over after very brief
debate.
On bill for the relief of the widow and children
of B. w. Hopkins, deceased, elaborate report
from the Committee on Claims was read. pro-
traced debate ensued and resulted in the decision to
lay aside the bill for report.

consumed nearly the rest Of the day.
