This seken'ng slang is hsbitualy used by the
Clique, who manage the poor imbecile for purpo,

Law Of the human mind, to which the highest and
the lowest-a Rchelieu and Tyler-are alike sub |

those qualities OF which he is VIGOROUSLY destitute.
Rcheleu, the most sagaeous statesman OF his age,
altho' he could not write dosgerel. was more
vetous ofpoetcal fame than all things else; and who
ever would praise his poetry had ready access to

CALCULATION OF INrEREsr-THE PATRIOTISM
OF Mr.. JOHN TYLER
No one, who knows MIR Tyler, has suspected him
capable Of high and disnterested ociion-but stu
pid we knew him to he-wc did no, suspect him
capable OF the egregious folly of avowing the selfish
considerations which govern him.
In the las, Madisoniun, we have this nvowal. In
! speaking OF the Revenue Bill and the action Of the
Executive upon it, all thought Of the great interests
of the country is thrown out Of view. The simple
and sole question is; whether the President W gain
or lose by signing the bill7 That the reader may
