THE PLOT THICKENS.


still President of the United States, to the great an
noyance of the Wing majority in Congress
and their arch Federal Bank leader. By means
of the Constitution, and in compliance with the
wishes Of vast majority of the People, the
President still stands in opposition TO the char
Ter of National Bank,-and this keeps alive
the vengeful fires of his enemies. In obedl-
ence to the voice of the nation, the President
has recommended the suspension OF the distri-
button Of the proceeds of the sales of public lands,
and this adds fire to the fury of Mr.. Clay and
all his adherents. With an eye to the perma-
nent safety and welfare OF the country, and ac-
tuated by the solemn obligations of duty, the
Administration (cheered on by the almost unani
nous voice of the People,) recommended an
increase of the Navy commensurate with the
magnitude and growth of the territory and com
merce Of the Confederacy, and this recommen-
dalton being very popular, offended the pride OF
Wing Congress, and was suddenly arrested,
TO mortify and humble the obnoxious Executive.
Imbued with spirit Of patriotism, though
fercely assaed by slanderous partisan presses,
the President resolved that the appointing pa
tronage of the Government should not be exer-
cised to elevate any ambitious aspirant to the
Presidency, but determined that il should be be-
slowed, without distinction Of party, on 'ho-
nest and capable citizens" as was done in the
DAYS Of Jefferson; and this also gave mortal Of
fence to Mr. Cay's majority in the Senate.
and they forthwith doomed to destruction every
nominee who should not subscribe TO the arti-
cles of their political faith.
And vet all this would not do. John Tyler
vet remained in the Presidential chair Henry
Clay out of it, No new Bank has been charter
ed, and the old one is dead The Distribution
remains imperative, and the country is on the
side of the Executive. The thousands lately
employed in the Navy Yards have been cut off
by the vndctye action of Congress, and the
indignant tones of the People are assailing their
Representatives in the Capitol. Still the Pre-
sident refuses to be dictated to in his appoint
nents, and com nlttees are appointed with pow
er to send for persons and papers, with the in
tenon, if possible, to procure evidence to con-
Wet the Executive Of malfeasance, burglary and
murder, for what we know.
Thus the frame Of the machinery OF the most
diabocal plot that was ever constructed by Sc
majors and Representatives, is fully developed
TO the gaze Of the world. AS the Wing maJo-
rity in Congress approach the termination of
their power, they become more reckless and
desperate. Every species Of strategy is resort
ed to to crcumvent the Executive. They have
charged the President with treachery, and con-
slider themselves justifable in practising all man
ner of deception against him. They have at
tempted to impose their tools on the Admins
tration (for the purpose of acting as spies) with
professions of friendship in their mouths
And now the grand denouement approaches
The volcano whichhas SO long been nursing Its
combustible materials, is about TO explode. The
grand result of their secret sessions caucusses,
investigations, dispositions, &C., &C., is about to
burst upon the devoted head of the President.
They slrove IN vain TO drive him from the Pre-
sidential chair by the cannon shot of the Bank
presses, and the bombs Of Mangum, Benton, Bar
row, Archer, Arnold, Bolts, etc, etc, with an oc
casiona tornado from their great Captain General
Harry of the West" who pompously pro-
nounced John Tyler (the man he eulogized at
the extra SESSION., ga weak vacillating, faith
less Chief Magistrate BUTT all would not do.
Mere wind aud ink could not move him, though
the first was most ofensire in many instances,
and the last vile, diluted lampblack. But they
were not to be deferred They must stand the
hazard of the die. A few months and they
would be powerless. Their present majority
would soon be swept from the Hall of the House
of Representatives. They must do or die, and
what could be done should be done quickly
A bold move was resolved upon. Mr.. Man
gum was placed in the chair of the Senate. Thus
the party" took possession of the round next
to the top Of the ladder. If the solitary being
who sat above could be hurled down, Bank,
Protective tariff, Distribution, Clay, all would
be saddled upon the country. They will strain
desperately to accomplish this. All the infor-
nation, deposition' rumors, ISLANDERS, ETC.,
moused out and collected by the bloo1hounds,
ours, mastiffs, and terriers Of the party will be
exhibited in the Senate. THE PRESI-
DENT is TO BE IMPEACHED Mr..
Mdngum is TO succeed him. This is to be the
result of the momentous secret preparations
that have been going on for so many months
TO the entire exclusion of all business pertaining
10 the country. But will they succeed? Are
not their unholy devices known 10 the country
Are not their unworthy motives all laid bare to
the world Is not the Republican press charged
to the brm awaiting the first movement to
sweep them from existence? We extract the
following from the Richmond Enquirer:
"The new scheme for +" heading Captain TYLER,
will fall as well as those which were played off upon
him at the extra session. The plot now is to Dust
him from his chair, and put in his place Mr.. Willie
P. Mangum, who just elected the acting Vice Pre-
sident after turning his back upon all the great State
Rights principles which he so loudly professed
What fine thing it would be for the friends of Mr.
