WING SPIRIT IN THE WEST

two months through the states oil ONO, lndiani
and Illinois, informs US, that the best informed mer
in these States entertain no doubt whatever Of th'
success of Mr. Clay. An enthusiasm, exceeding
that of 1910, is rapidly spreading throughout; the
West. II will go on increasing until the election
in '4i-when Clay will sweep every Western
State--Mssouri, even, not excepted. II any other
man than MIR v. Buren, be the candidate Of the locos
Mr. Benton will 90 for Mr. Clay, as he did in "a
aud it is by no certain, that he will not 60 for
him as aiust even the little gentleman OF Undertook
| The popular current will be so rapid and powerful
that the politicians will bc unable TO stem it, and
they will make virtue OF necessity, by falling into
| rank as speedily as possible. The STATESMAN
OF THE wEST-the MILL-BOT OF THE
SLASHES, will DO the wateh-words and ralying
cries. and the entire will present an undivided
front in support of the greatest living bensfaetor OF
| his country.
/ There ia nj present comparative calm-but the
mutterings OF popular discomfort denote the APP
preaching storm. The people Of this great country
cannot and will not submit, longer than tho laws
require, 10 the grinding oppression and misrue OF
Loco Focoisu. For twelve years tina, PREDICATE

their resources, and bonkrupted the Government
Il
hurled them from power. The majority was I'M
precs tented in our annals. Nineteen OF the 20 States
bv NOR. than a hundred thousand majority, pro-
nounced the sentence of condemnation, and dismiss
.ed the Administration as unworthy IN all respects
of being entrusted with the affairs Of free and vr-
,uous people. The people after their triumph, con-
hden,y anticipated a change Of measures, along
with change Of men. But their hopes were dashed
by death and treachety. The man whom they
chose, and uuon whom they relied TO restore their
los, prosperity and re-estabsh the foundations Of
the Republic, was taken from them. His success
sor has proven false to every principle he protested,
previous to the election, and by protesting which,
h. obtained TIE suffrases Of the American People;
and he is now in close and intimate communion with
the party, which the people condemned, co.oPera'
ting with them TO defeat the measures and subvert
the principles of the great majority which elevated
him to power.
Such ,reachery may flourish COR a season-but the
day Of retribu,ion will come. The people will rise
once more, and redress their wrongs.
Our informant also states, that the enthusiasm Of
the West is spreading to the Esst-and tina, in
Western Pennsylvania and New York, the signs
are equally auspicious as they arc in the Great
States oil the w est. HS OtG ohh NAS gNHH5 NAS
vieine with each other, who shall do mos, to render
Justice TO psrsecu,ed patriot, and, through his IN
s;rumentality restore peace and prosperity TO the
country. The ardour and enthusiasm Of the young
men particularly, in Pennsylvania and New York,
is spoken Of as never having been surpassed. The
distraction of the adversary impars additional ami
nation TO their zeal; and while the Locos are
wnngIins about Van Buren,, and Buchanan, and
Calhoun, and Cess, and Johnson, and Stewart the
wings. with united voices, make the aelkin ring
with the name OF HARRY OF THE WEST
the MILL BOY OF THE SLASHEsi
The New York Journal OF Commerce states
that Mr.. Webster has given Mr.. Tyler notice OF
his intention to resign soon as news OF The raii-
hcaton Of the Treaty by the Queen is received;
and that he will retire in oil kindness and good will
for MIR. Tyler. This is very probable. Mr. Webs
ter with all his splendid abilities, is deficient in thai
high toned ssnsiLiity, which feels an insult az
wound. SO far as the public can Judge, he has
received indgni,ies enough at the hands ct Tyler to
cause him TO throw his commission in his lace
His warmes, friends only excused his refining
seat in the Cabinet, on the ground thet his great
abilities we're too much needed in the adjustment
OF our foreign relations, to be lost to the country,
on account Of any mere personal ndisnlties. BY
pocketing insults to the country, he gave evil
dence Of his devoted pa,riotisn-and for so great
self sacrifice for the public good, he would deserve
TO be ranked among the nob!est public beneiactors
This apology was always coupled with the assn
rance, that as soon as the Treaty was complete, he
would retire from all connsxion with Tyler, in dis
gust.
We have heretofore, in q measure, suspended an
opinion on MIR. Webs,et's course, awaiting the is-
cue now at haad. The letter which he wrote on
the dissolution Of the cabinet, never be justified
bu, If he exhibits even a, this late day. the spir. Of
a man, which the trcaImen. he has received merits
he may 20 fsr to recover his los, ground. Bat he
cannot much longer defer o decisive step. II he
would save his character gentleman, and make
good the apology Of his friends, that he was prompt
ed solely by pure and dsinierested ps,riotsm;-he
must forthwith renounce this Administration, md
denouncs the detestable principles upon which It IS
conducted. II he faters, lie 10 lost.
