Mr.. CLAY us. PRESIDENT TYLER.

Many supposed that Mr.. Clay tired of the turmoil'
OF pub c life, of personal and party strife, had re-
tired from the Senate to spend the remainder OF Ia:
days IN ease In the peaceful groves OF Ashland But
ever restless, and ambitious for Office he has again
for the third time indirectly caused his name to be
published TO the world candidate Tor the Presi-
dency Age has not cooled has love of strife, and he
makes war upon President Tyler with the same bit
ter malignity that ranked III his bosom when Gen.
jackson stood in his way of preierment. We may
soon expect again to hear his talk of war, pestience
and famine as preferable evils. He has proclaimed
to the world that MIR. Tyler is ''weak, yacllatng and
untaithfuln For what reasoni Because MIR. Tyler
would not be his humble tool in promoting him his
successor in the Presidential chair because he would
sacrifice his principles by signing act incorpo
rating United States Bank-because he is not will
ing any longer to appoint Mr. Clay's pipe-ayers to
office If Mr.. Tyler has shown any weakness, it has
been in endeavoring to keep peace with MIR. Clay,
after he knew of the overt war that is waged
against his Administration. Fortunately for Mr..
Tyler, he is now relieved from this embarrassment
by the public declaration of Mr.. Clay. Still more
fortunate would he be, if relieved from the incubus
OF many of President Harrisons appointments
Processing to be Jetfersonian republican him
follow in the path of that ilustrious in his APP
pointments, with the independence that he We
toed the bank and the shafts Of Mr. Clay will fall
harmless at his feet

oI CAN'T DO IT.n

What a volume of human misery is unfolded in
that short sentence What mighty efforts of undeve-
loped genius are chained by this conclusion OF de-
spondency, when barrier chooses to Interpose the
onward progress of the will, and sometimes of
human voton' What domestic happiness; what
downward marches towards the gloomy and solitary
abodes of poverty what anxious socitude that fills
the breast of the dependant wife; what ardent wres
lings with the demon of despair; what social wretch
edness what deep, painful anxiety; what national
evils are all depicted in the spirit of that expression
1t is the language only of the self-wretched; the de-
termination of the weak and mbecile. 1t is the voice
of the moral coward who standing upon the shore of
some desert island, in the stormy ocean of life, and
looking out upon the pillows with the wrecks
of earthly grandeur and human happiness, is so blind
ed by fear that he cannot the gloom of hope that
flicker amid the surrounding CLEANS
1t is the articuated feeling of the traveller of the
desert, who, having gained an emincnce, sees moth
ing but barren plain before him. thirst parching
his tongue and WEAKNESS subdung his strength. But
shall he lie down without hopei Nay let him press
forward-make but one efor-a green oasis will
meet his vison--a cool stream will bubble up from
some unforeseen fountain--and he will reach his Jour
ney's end crowned with the rich rewards Of perse-
verence.

WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE?

The Wings are complaining loudly of the present
depressed condition Of business in nearly every part
of the country, and Of the embarrassments under
friends of Mr. Clay are anxious to make il appear
thai Mr. Tyler is alone responsible for these evils
The following remarks of Mr.. Profit in reply to Mr.
Fillmore ,.show whom responsibility should be made
to rest
"The gentleman and his friends are in large ma
iorty; how comes it that little nothing has been
done They have the presiding officer OF this House
the control of every important committee officers OF
their own selection; printer of their own choice
they hold undsputed command of the legislative pow
erl They, at the extra session, could pass 4 bank
bill in two three hours, without amendment or de-
bate; BILL sir, approprating millions OF the public
money and granting exclusive privileges for twenty
years Political objects were then to be accomplished
and could act with lightning speed; mo,o, when the
country demands action, they can or will do nothing
"They then could pass revenue bill imposing
taxes TO the amount of millions without the altera
ton of word and scarcely with decent considera
ton. Now, sir they powerless for good and In
dustousy active only in petty schemes and party po
Icy They could then hurredly pass bankrupt
bill bill for the dlstr bution OF the proceeds of the
public lands, fertilization and navy bills, &c. The
same members compose this body the friends OF the
administration stood upon the same ground they now
occupy; and yet the gentleman says that we obstruc
the public business. ai r1
"The truth is, that he and some of his friends are
determined that nothing shall be done. They want
excitement; it is the element IN which they live
and the only one in which they exist; and the
only .fficulty with them u.s. how they may best con
cea their policy"

A FEARFUL RIDE.

The Ithaca and Owego rail road, as it comes into
this village descends in less than half mile nearly
500 feet by means of two inclined planes The cars
on their arrival at the upper engine house are de-
tached from the locomotive and permitted to descend
tohe lower engine house under the control Of brakes
From the lower engine house, which is at the top of
the first inclined plane the passengers brought to
this vii age by stage. This is done because Of the
great steepness Of the lower inclined plane it des-
cending 450 feet in the distance of 1885, or nearly
an angle of As degrees to the horizon No person of
sane mind wsuld venture his neck by going down
this inclined plane. in case of the becoming
into atoms.
On Saturday last the car containing eleven pas
sengers was detached usual at the upper engine
house. but it was found that the brakes did not ope-
rate and that the fastening with constantly
accelerated rapdity toward the brink of the lower
inclined plane The forward brakeman leaped from
the car for the purpose of throwing it off the track by
means of beam, but he stumbled and failed in his
object The other brakeman sat at his post like a
hero, calling to the passengers to Jump out and save
themselves On went the acr with dreadful rapdity,
and one by one the passengers threw themselves out
The Hon Amasa Dana eaped from the car as it
passed through the lower engine house. and there also
the brakeman sprang for his life. One man alone
was unable to escape before the car, which was al
ready outstripping the wind, made the plunge down
the lower plane The whole length of this was ira
versed almost in an instant About 100 feet from the
bottom the left the track, dashing to pieces the
iron wheels on which the engine rope plays, and spin
tering the beams which bound the tracks together
until it reached the foot of the plane, where it was
dashed into thousand fragments. One of the car
wheels shvered to pieces the heavy iron axletree
broken, and scarcely any piece of the body left
entire
We saw the wreck, and if a bomb shell had burst in
the it could not have more completely demolished
it. In the midst Of the fragments the who de-
scended with the found his arm broken above
and below the elbow ond his head severely fractur-
ed. Medical assistance at once rendered, and
there is some hope of his recovery. His name is
Babcock and he is relative of Mr. Eber Babcock
Of this village During the delirium occasoned by the
blow, the wounded man kept constantly repeating
words as if endeavoring to stop team of horses.
Judge Dana was but slightly hurt, although several
of the passengers who sprang from the car were Sc
verely but not dangerously injured 4 as

miracle, at the time paper went to press, gra
dually improving, and confident hopes entertained
of his recovery
