The Locos last April eXulted at the result
in this State, as Victory over Protection.
They acclaimed against it as humbug, got
up for electioneering purposes ana, ny III,
sisting vociferously on this point, deceived
MANY into belief which led them to vote
against their own interests. The victory
won, they predicted the speedy and total
extinction Of the doctrine of Protection to
Home Industry, in the Wing ranks. The
following specimen, we copy from the NEW
Haven Register Of April 9th:
"Mark our prediction. Six weeks from
to-day you will hear nothing from the iede-
raj leaders about Home League! Ihat
humbug will be dead"
The time predicted has passed--but
where is the fulilment! We scarcely take
up Wing paper that does not contain some
word of encouragement to the friends OF
American Industry to persevere in demand
ing and securing the protection OF their
rights. Though we have heard OF many
Home Leagues being formed, we have not
learnt that one has been disbandcd since
this fearful prophecy was uttered
From the Poughkcepsic Journal.
/ Our flag is unfurlea-we give it to the
breeze, with the name of HENRY CLAY in
scribed on its folds, and under that flag we go
into the contest with firm confding convlc-
ton, that the victory TO be won, will not M
ure to the advantage of the enemy, or bring
disgrace upon the country, whose escutch-
con, we trust will never again be entrusted to
a traitors hand or be tarnished by a traNor's
touch.
The reflection, that we have contributed to
the elevation of a man to the highest place in
the government, who is regardless OF those
obligations of honor, which should have
bound him to his friends. who is too weak and
too vascilating to command public respect, q
who possesses none of those high qualities
which ought to characterize the chief maglS-
trate of the Union, has been SO notifying,
that we have pissed over in silence. many
, things which since Tyler's accession have
served to shew his unfitness, in the hope, that
, when he had recovered from the paroXism,
, into which his unlocked for elevation had
: thrown him, he might so far return to sense
: necessity of denouncing him. We have too,
frequently refrained from expressing our
opinions, in the hope, that By Cancellation
and kindness on the part of the Wings, some
good might be procured through him. We
ardently desired q settlement of the cuc1en-
cy question, believing such settlement to be
demanded alike by the interests of the
Wings and the wants of the country. We
very much preferred to see il no longer po.
litical question. that we might 60 down to the
next election unencumbered by any but po-
litical issues, and governed by these views,
we have counselled a course of moderation
, and prudence. from conviction that in this
and by this alone, could we expect to secure
the cooperation ola man of Tyler's temper
ament. We believe that denouncing him
would engender that feeling of revenge
which is peculiar to men of weak minds, and
that in mere spite, he would oppose even the
most desirable measure, if by it he could
J" pay off" those who attacked him. We
were willing that the wings should torego ex.
pressing their opinions ofhim that some good
might be secured for the country. but Of this.
we have no longer any hope. desire for
revenge, coupled with jealousy of promi-
nent Wings and with wish to retain power
and place, has driven the President beyond
the pale of hope, and tits now so perfectly
apparent, not only that he does not deserve
to be sustained by the Wings, but that no
good to the country can be secured by cover
ing his errors with the mantle of silence, that
inaction becomes fault in all, who are will
! ling to atone for the evils to which they con-
