THE PRESIDENTS RESIGNATION"
The "Missouri Republican" of the goth
April, our readers will remember, in the article
which we transferred to our columns few days
since, there occurred the following words, viz:
sAs his Accidency processes high regardi for
the right of instruction, we would respectfully
suggest to the voters of all States vet to hold
elections during the present season, to cause
column to be inserted in their poll books. or some
designation to be inserted on their tickets, either
for or against his resignation. Let the Whlgse S-
pecidHy do this" Thus the factious spirit which
has governed the rational element of the Wing
party since our present Democratic President
first entered upon the discharge of his official
dutles-and in direct opposition to the provisions
Of the Constitution-the every day principles OF
justice and the most simple dictates of common
-audaciousy exhorts its kindred, espe
ciaIly 7aoao, to force from his chair the Chief
Magistrate Of the People. We do not propose
at this time TO examine into the future
plans Of the Republican" and Its delectable
associates for "headlng Captain Tyler" Our
object is to lay before the public review of their
past schemes by which they hoped to accom-
psh this infamous end We care nothing for
their " Is-to-be" The " elections Of the pre-
sent season." to which the " Republican" looked
with so much confidence for Reputation of
$ Captain Tyler" have at least repudiated its
darlng-Henry Clay. Witness Virginia, and
the declarations of the " Richmond Whig," and
the Petersburg Inteigencer," which declare
that they enter their sianilitur to the issue OF
Clay or no Clay, and put themselves upon the
country for its decision upon that issue!' And we
doubt not that the next Congressional election
will consign his peculiar followers to oblivion
men who, if their organs to be believed,
would stab to the heart the very protecting angel
of the country itself We design to explain
the language of the Republican" of the 10th
of April, in ausion to the presidents resg-
nation"-viZ: mo man of nice honor and tender
conscience as he pretends to- would have clung
thus long with such tenacity as he has, to sit
uation in which he had proved himself SO unac-
ceptable to those who had placed him there
SO unworthy as he has proven himself" And
finally, to show how the "Presidents resigna-
ton" aoas to be effected.
In what manner has the President proved
himself Unacceptable" to the People, or Gun
worthy" the place he fills We would ask the
"Republican" if he has proved himself unac-
ceptable to the People, by vetoing the two
wretched Bank bills of the extra session ?
Things conceived in infamy, and brought forth
so illshapen and deformed under the hands of
miserable quacks, that the breath scarcely con-
tnued in their bodies during their passage from
the Capitol to the White House-there to meet
the sentence of the tribunitial power. Even il
the President had awarded to them life, all men
at all acquainted with their anatomical structure,
pronounce, that in short time they must have
died a natural death. Have the late elections,
showing the most astounding change in every
State wherein an election has been held from an
overwhelming Wing majority, to an overwhelm-
ing Democratic majority, proved thai those
monsters which the Republican," and those
with whom it acts, would have succored and, if
possible, exalted over the destinies of this coun-
try, or any other monster, was or is sought af-
ter and desired by the People? Do they not
rather show, that these acts of the President
have been sustained by the People, and are most
acceptable to the country2 The facts which
exist in every direction throughout this broad
Union, are sufficient to convince any one but a
bigot or an idiot, that Bank is the last thing now
desired or looked for by the farmers, mechanics,
manufactures, merchants. They desire
Immediate relief for our financial suffer
ings-something which be put into full
operation il the course of sixty days. and this
can only be acquired through the direct action
of the Constitution upon the subject as proposed
by the President The old Bank of the United
States, though sustained by all the nurturing
care OF the Government, continued for seven
years in state of puerility-not bringing the
slightest benefits to the country during the
whole of that time And all history shows, tha,
no such institution can be matured, so as TO 90
into successful operation, even under the most
favorable circumstances, within four years.
The good, therefore, to be derived from such a
source must necessarily be altogether prospec-
tive, and not immediate
Again-We would ask the I" Republican, il
what manner has the President proved hmsel
I" unaoorthy' the place he fills +? Does it neces
sarily follow, because he has not majority il
Congress to sustain his measures, that he ha.
rendered himself obnoxious to the People
