a man, in either House, who doubts that Mr..
Clay would have supported that measure, carried
il through, and thus given the Administration
grounds TO hope for success, ifhe had regarded
The success ofthis administration as favorable
10 his opn personal objects2 No, not one. No
man doubts il; and Mr.. Clay himself doubts
it least Of all. Mr. Clays conduct, then,
from the very first, had its policy, its hopes,
and objects, all centered in opposition to
Mr. Tylers Administration, and in the
chance of defeating its success. 1t is incredi-
bic, TO what excess expectations were carried,
in respect TO this. Iii truth, that toward the
end of the session, Mr.. Clay and his friends ex-
pected nothing less than to drive Mr.. Tyler to
an immediate resignation, and that there would
be, forthwith, new election of President All
this was to have been brought about by the re-
sgnation of the Cabinet, and by the Manifesto
OF the Capitol Square, and other places, by
which it was thought the People could be made
as much exasperated as certain of the members
of Congress had become. How foolish, how
insane, are these ideas. Who can look back
upon September, without thinking that some
spell, some unaccountable delusion, some con-
tagious infatuaton, had seized upon minds, usu-
ally sane, sensible and patriotic.

BRUTAL.

A "peculidr" writer in the Globe of Thurs
day, under the head of "a Solemn Anniversa-
ryn--descrbng at first the solemn scene over
the coffin Of Harrison year previous-takes
occasion (and such was his sole object) to per-
petrate another coarse and vulgar attack on The
Secretary Of State. What it is the Globe and
its 'tremendou," abetter may expect to accom-
plish by 50 repeatedly assailing Mr.. Webster, of
course we know njt-but we do know that the
man they assail is invulnerable to all the spears
and bdttering rams the Globe establishment
can produce. If they expect to injure Mr..
Webster in the estimation of others, they over
shoot the mark; ifthey are striving to strength
en- their own party by abusing the Secretary Of
State, they will rery soon find that they do but
commit SUICIDE.

THE REASON WHY.

| Some OF our friends are surely astonished AT
the result of the Connecticut election, and pro-
fess to be at loss to imagine the reason lohy.
If they will let US, we will tell them. At the
commencement Of the present session the con-
stituency OF the country looked with the most
painful anxiety for the adoption, on the part OF
| Congress, of such measures as should replenlsh
the Treasury, restore the currency, and revive
the industry Of the country. Instead of having
these wishes gratifed four months have been
suffered TO go by, and not thing has been done
toward effecting any one Of these ends. Whose
fault IS IL? OF course the blame is cast on
the party that, having majority in both branch
es Of Congress, has failed to make use of its
strength for good purposes, and has been sa-
| tlsfed TO talk about reforms and retrenchments
which are not carried out, and go for " Harry Of
the Hest" against the ioorld, and common
sense .too-the party that won't do any thing
that's good, because 'the Captain" is President
and "Henry Clay" does not wish any thing to
be done, lest il should make 8John Tyler" popular
for the next term of the Presidency Now it
happens that however well this perspective Pre-
sident-making may suite certain politicians, ii
does not accord with the common-sense views of
the honest yeomanry ofthe land, whobelieve that
if the present is well taken care Of, the future
will be very apt to take care Of ITSELF The
majority in Congress has been wasting time
and treasure IN doing nothing, whilst the vital
interests of the country are overlooked and neg
lected and the Wigs that ,oere, are so sick of
the course of their representatives, that they
stay at home, or pote against such trifers.-
The People of this country are brave and gene
rous and coniding, and are willing to go great
lengths in favor of men whom they like, but
there is limit beyond which they will not go
TO please any man or set Of men. II the Wings
OF Congress had acted as they should have done,
and gone for measures without reference to
men, sound measures, the beneficial effects
Of which would have been felt in every part
OF the country, there would have been
no such results as those which we have just
seen. The majorities would have remained as
they were, and the condition of the nation would
have been rendered such as to make every pa
triot's heart glad within him. 1t did not, how
ever, suit the President-in- anticipation to do
any thing but what would promote his election
three years hence, and he and his erclusire
friends managed to talk against time, instead
of acting, and the People have become sick of
it, and have acted accordingly If the vast ma
jority that elected General Harrison and came
into power like whirlwind, is TO be shorn of
its strength, and converted into minority, ace
know, and the People kno,o, that we have
stated above part Of THE REASON WHY.

TO THE EDITOR.
LIBERTY, MISSOURI, March 81, 1912


SIR Enclosed | send you $40 for two copies Of
your tri-peekiy .Madisoniaa, for one year.
Our President has party in the country, if he has
none in Congress. Let him console himself with the
reflection that the present Congress must long
give place to another. After that time, if not
greatly deceived, and profess to have some know
ledge of the feelings of the people, he will have
Majors battalion, instead Of "corporals guard to
support his patriotic measures He may safely place
the issue of Exchequer" before the country, and
rest securely to the result will be as certain
to carry majority of the American people, as that
the sub Treasury did not, or as "Per Sc" Bank
cannot Besides being the best adapted to the pre-
sent emergencies Of the country, it is just what the
great Of the people have wished since tie Veto
message of General Jackson portrayed the dangers
Of such Bank the old one. Give us the FIX
chequer" and "judicious" discriminating tariff, and
our country-aided by the stout arms and willing
hearts of the yeomanry-will still be prosperous and
happy.
The currency question must be settled or we will
have REVOLUTION.
Mr.. Websters letter to Mr.. Everett is character
istc of his great mind and his lofty patriotism Be
of good cheer. The People will rally, despite Of
demagogues those who act honestly, tsariessly and
Independently
Very respectfully, ;.

THE PRESS.
% It's said that if brilliant Star
Were stricken from the dome Of night
A printing press if planted there,
Would shed anew radiant light"


Th. was one of the toasts given at the Boz dinner
in Washington, week or two since, and the sent-
ment is as true as the poetry is pretty
twas the Press which terminated the long night
of ignorance known the dark ages. 1t is the press
which has been the great enightener of mind for
four centuries past 1t is the Press which has kept
up the beacon fires of liberty in politics and religion
wherever it has been established. 1t is the press
which has unloostd society in all its elements from
the chains of civil and mental Erebus, and like a
bright MONDAY luminary, has dazzled back to the
gloomy caves of ignorance, the Cimmerian shades
which so long before its rising, rested on mankind.
II is difficult to conceive or comprehend the value
and influence of the press. To obtain any thing OF
an idea of its worth, we must throw ourselves back
to the ages Immediately preceding the invention OF
Gnttemburg Faust and Schoiffer, when the slow pen
of the copyst, and the cell of the monastery furnished
the scanty food Of intellectual Europe when manu-
scripts were and expensive, and when the great
mass of the people, the entire substratum OF society
was unblest and unenligtened by the rays of know
ledge else plant ourselves IN some lar OIL heathen
land where religion, science, civilization never
dawned where printing is unknown books unheard
Of instructions save in savage arts, never given and
where ,the dome Of night" is starless because no
printing press is "panted there to ''shed anew a
radiant light.
If we can sufficiently imagine either OF these con-
ditions we can fall upon estimate OF the worth
Of the press The press is far more to us than the
oracles of ancient DAYS. Dodona Delphi, Tropho
MUS. never exerted such an influence mankind as
now issues from the printing Office, engrossing our
thoughts, forming our minds, moulding our future
desiinles.
