THE PRESIDENTS RESIGNATION"
The "Missouri Republican" of the goth
April, our readers will remember, in the article
which we transferred to our columns few days
since, there occurred the following words, viz {:
.'As his Accidency Processes high regardl for
the right of instruction, we would respectfully
suggest TO the voters Of all States, yet to hold
elections during the present season, to cause a
column to be inserted in their poll books. or some
designation to be inserted on their tickets, either
for or against his resignation. Let the Wigs es-
pecially doMis.n Thus the faclious spirit which
has governed the rational element OF the Wing
party since our present Democratic President
first entered upon the discharge Of his official
dules-and in direct opposition to the provisions
Of the Constitution-the every day principles of
justice, and the most simple dictates Of common
sense-audaciousl exhorts its kindred, espe-
cially now, to force from his chair the Chief
Magistrate Of the People. We do not propose
al this time 10 examine into the future
plans of the Republican, and us delectabe
associates for "headmg Captain Tyler" Our
object is to lay before the public review OF their
past schemes by which they hoped to accom-
plish this Infamous end We care nothing for
their Ls-to-ben The +" elections Of the pre-
sent season." to which the 6 Republican" looked
with so much confidence for Reputation Of
.'Captain Tyler" have at least repudiated its
darling-Henry Clay. Witness Virginia, and
the declarations Of the " Richmond Whig," and
the Petersburg Intelli5encer," which declare
that they enter their simiiiiur to the issue Of
Clay or no Clay, and put themselves upon the
country for its decision upon that issuen And we
doubt not that the next Congressional election
will consgn his peculiar followers to oblivion
men who, if their organs are to be believed,
would stab to the heart the very protecting angel
Of the country itself We design to explain
the language OF the 'sRepubcan," of the Goth
Of April, in allusion to the presidents resig-
nation"-viz: " no man of nice honor and tender
conscience as he pretends to-, would have chung
thus long with such ienacity as he has, to sit
uaton in which he had proved himself so unac
ceptable to those who had placed him there
SO unworthy as he has proven himself" And
finally, to show how the sPresident's resgna-
ton" aods to be effected.
In what manner has the President proved
himself Unacceptable" to the People, or sun
worthy" the place he fills We would ask the
"Republican" if he has proved himself unac-
ceptabe to the People, by vetoinS the two
wretched Bank bills of the extra session ?
Things conceived in infamy, and brought forth
so illshapen and deformed, under the hands Of
miserable quacks that the breath scarcely con
tinued in their bodies during their passage from
the Capitol TO the White House-there to meet
the sentence of the trbunital power. Even il
the President had awarded 10 them life, all men
at all acquainted with their anatomical structure,
pronounce, that in short time, they must have
died natural death. Have the late elections,
showing the most astounding change in every
State wherein an election has been held from an
overwhelming Wing majority, TO an overwhelm-
ing Democratic majority, proved that those
monsters which the "Republcan," and those
with whom it acts, would have succored, and, if
possible exalted over the destinies of this coun-
try, or any other monster, was, or is sought af
ter and desired by the People2 Do they not
rather show, that these acts of the President
have been sustained by the People, and are most
acceptable to the country? The facts which
exist in every direction throughout this broad
Union, are sufficient to convince any one but a
bigot or an idiot, that Bank is the last thing now
desired or looked for by the farmers, mechanics,
manufactures, or merchants. They desire
immediate relief for our financial suffer
ings-something which can be put into full
operation il the course of sixty days ; and this
can only be acquired through the direct action
of the Constitution upon the subject as proposed
by the President The old Bank of the United
States, though sustained by all the nurturing
years in state of puerity--not bringing the
slightest benefits to the country during the
whole Of that time, And all history shows, that
no such institution can be matured, so as TO go
into successful operation, even under the most
favorable circumstances, within four years.
The good, therefore, to be derived from such a
source must necessarily be altogether prospec,
tive, and not immediate.
Again-We would ask the " Republican, in
what manner has the President proved himself
unworthy" the place he fills Does it neces
sarly follow because he has not a majority ii
Congress TO sustain his measures that he has
rendered himself obnoxious to the Peope
The President is always the Representative Of
