THE TABLES TURNED-TRUTH Is
MIGHTY-JUST SURE.

A few brief months ago and the cry OF the
CLAW organs went forth that only dozen or so
presses indicated the President and that hun
drtds, comprising all the journals that advocat-
Cd the election of Harrison and Tyler, united in
condemnng his conduct. Their iavorile excla-
nation was "alas! how are the mighty fallen -
The traitor" "The perfdious wretch ~
Now, where stand these champions of the

vengeance against the Presdent2 They are
APPALLED, at the ignominy brought upon them
selves by needessy venting their superabun-
dance of venom Their mad cries have sunk
Without an echo! Their chief has taken the
field but no forces rally around him. But
two or three throw up their caps and none cry

Now, where are the presses that sustain MIR.
Clay? Where are the presses that abuse the
President? I" Echo ANSWERS phere" And it
is feeble echo-a small voice from Louisville
one from Richmond-no HERE. Truly,
they have less than corporals guard p
True, there is cry Of universal Indignation.
There is a thunderbolt of condemnation rever-
bcratng throughout the political hemisphere.
The body politic is reused from lis ethargy.
The nation is up in arms. An ominous frown
rests upon its brow. Deep, branding, and dead

whom is its fearful and fatal hostility arrayed {?

Mr.. Clay resolved to crush the President with
his Congress. He resolved to drive a wise and
patriotic Chief Magistrate, broken-hearted, in
to retirement He was mistaken in his man !!
The President braced his nerves for the occa-
sion. His energies We're reused to meet the
torrent. 1t came and passed away. 1t passed
to his enemies, who were unprepared for it.

The People have reflected calmly The
Press is rejecting. The country has suffered
unnecessarily. The author of its caamities
cannot escape punishment. 1t is now known
10 all men that the only financial measure pro-
posed at the extra session that could have gone
into successful operation, was the one furnished
by the Executive, and the one strangled at its
birth by Mr.. Clay. 1t is known that every ben
efcial measure proposed at the present session
emanated from the Executive, and that each
has been delayed, neglected, or crushed, by Mr..
Clay's majority in Congress.
''Alas, how are the mighty falen!" Mr..
Clay has perfected his scheme. He has arrayed
majority in Congress against the President
He has defeated the measures OF the Admins

relieved. Mr.. Clay is ready to take the reins
Of Government He has resigned his seat in
the Senate. He has been nominated by 300
Wings in North Carolina. He has made de-
