"ORDER REIGNS IN WARSAW. -

The grand blow, and the last of the Dictator,
more stain to the mantle of its disgrace, and no
thing now remains but to issue another bulletin
from Ashland deciding upol 'war, pestilence,
and famine" unless the President Of the United
States yields up his constitutional rights TO the
demand of a few insoent aspiring demagogues,
that grasp like drowning man, at any straw
which floats on the popular surface. This last
trick is to be made conspicuous weapon in the
ensuing fall elections, and on its success depends
the rise and fall of the Lord of Ashland as first
Dictator of America! A fair issue, where even
pipe laying and fraud cannot be successful.
The ground, too will be covered by strong artil-
lery. High Tariffs, Bank, Alien and Sedilon
Laws the supremacy Of Congress u.s. the Con-
stitution, the Laws, and the People. How will
it end ?
One Senator from North Carolina seems 10
have deserted his leader at the trying hour
The election of the said Senator'S successor de-
ponds on the next Legislature of that State
Could this have been the cause OF Mr.. Graham's
shadowing forth events? Has the news from
the battle ground of Jackson intinated that the
star of Kentucky has set? And have the letters
fro n Georgia. and the votes of all her members
in the House, caused a dodge ? The waters of
the Mississippi, too, halted in this magnii-
cent "heading" operation Why is this ?
Fear must certainly be in the breeze, else why
the want of majority of the Senate to vote
for this important bill 2-why the want of that
overwhelming majority Of some forty or fifty,
which followed the Dictator's beck at the begin
ming of the end =? Did the ''roltenness of Den
mark" remain undiscovered up to this time ? or
is it a mere ruse TO save the reelection of men
hitherto sound, and who will return to the traces
perfectly doce, when he is replaced?
These things require to be known, and we
ask the caucus managers to give US a little light
on the subject. The People require it, and
must have the Information before long. We
| beg these Wings to come out on their boosted
lroad platform, and give the apologies they
are to make to an abused and insulted People
for having neglected to perform even the neces-
sary functions of Congressman. Intrigue, trick
cry, and chcanery, will not answer the masses
ment to convince them that their servants have
done their duty-and, in addition to this, they
must have lrorkS. Will the efforts made to in
timidate the Executive prove that the interests
Of the country the objects of the ultraists
in Congress-and that intimidation, too, carried
on more in the spirit of demonsm than even Of
the worst political blackguardism2 1t is impos-
sibe.
These petty Coffee House politicians will be
told by the People: We sent you to Congress,
trusting that you would support the public good /;
that you would cooperate with the Executive
branch of the Government in attempting to re-
medy the evils we suffer under; that you would
furnish means to supply tie wants of Govern
ment--and, after doing these things, to re-
turn to your homes and show di position to re-
trench in your own persons But, what have
you done You have attempted to saddle the
People with huge mammoth Bank, which has
twice ruined the country-you have spent over
two millions upon yourselves-you have seen
the Government bankrupt, and yet wished to
empty the Treasury of the few dollars II con-
tanned from the proceeds of the public lands
you have refused to pass Tariff to supply the
wants of the Treasury, and yet appropriated
millions upon millions, and leave after you a
National Debt Of twenty or thirty millions! All
this have you done for the mere qualification OF
the Lord of Ashland, and in order to rend r Mr..
Tyler odous in the eyes of the People
| Is this your patriotism, honor, honesty aud
! love of country Are these the lessons laugh
