The little fry of our city still carry on their

believe that the great interests for which we
are contending, the mighty revolution which we
seek to accomplish, viii be sacrificed TO pirate
assumpiions-to place and patronage. Mr.. Spen-
GERS letter has thrown another torpor over the
Clay Wings, which must eventually terminate
In complete paralysis. The Courier as usual
on such occasions, abuses the Secrelary-ac-
cuses him of deserving his party and sacrificing
his principles at the shrine of office. The Clay
Wing Journals look at the picture only on one
side: it would be well if they would stretch their
optics TO the other, and inquire whether the Clay
Uhigs have not sacrificed their principles !;
whether they have not sought to build the pop
ularty of their idol on the destruction of our
yer plausible in appearance for the moment,
fraught with evils destined TO perpetuate an
aristocratic domination, which guarded by pow
er and sustained by wealth, shall extend its OPP
presslve influence over generations yet unborn.
AS we have dared to lay our hands upon the
altar, we shall not shrink from offering up the
sacrifice. We say TO the headers Of Captain
Tyler"-o the men who have sacrificed the
best interests of our country TO revengeful feel

at hand. Never have we seen so great change
in public sentiment that produced in favor of
MIR. Tyler, since the speeches of Webster,
Gushing, and Spencer; il is like cleo
trio spark, passing through host Of men united
hand in hand. Many of the Wings in our
city denounce their Clay brethren in toto,
while sull more are silent on the subject; anx-

do so. few weeks longer will teach the
Wings lesson that they can never forget As
party, they will be powerless if not totally
e.riiact. We mean, of course, if supineness
does not too closely press upon security, in our
ranks. Although we may not dread-we should
prepare for the worst Much praise is due to the
young democracy in New York--its members
are active, vigilant and bold. If our young de-
mocratic friends throughout the Union act with
a CORES spending sincerity and activity, the De
mocratic CANDIDATE nominated by the Con-
rention, must be President Of The United
States We imagine that before 1914, Mr.
Clay's friends, seeing the utter hopelessness of
his cause, will withdraw him from the contest.

toms of such course, we think, are even now

Clay personally that the democracy object il

The distribution Of the proceeds Of The
public iants-against a National Bank
