Mn. EDITOR: The President has committed
another objectionable political sin in the opin-
ion of the Wing leaders in Congress, together
with the editors OF the lntelligencer, in wiring
few lines 10 Mr.. Graham of Cincinnati, in
appreciation Of the sentiments expressed by the
Hon. Calvary Morris, Of Ohio, in short ad-
dress to his constituents. Would that that let
ter Of Mr. Morrls's coudsbe read by the whole
nation. The People would there behold true
picture OF the Bank and President-making par
ty, now having the control in Congress They
would there see that business is not the object
OF the present leaders in the present Congress,
| seven months of the session having nearly ex-
PRED and comparatively nothing done. They
are in search of another object They wish,
| aud aim at the advancement Of Henry Clay to
the Presidency Of this Union. They know, if he
once succeeds all their darling schemes will be
more than realized: not only will he give them
a Bank for corruption oxide his late monastery
but he will give them protection and centralIza-
ton to their hearts content The Government,
under his control, will be the Alpha and the One
ga (the panacla being BanA) that shall accom-
plish all the good that h. has so often promised
but thanks 10 the People, has never been real
| ized MIR. Clay is devoted TO that system Of
political economy, that would introduce in this
favored land the lcathing scenes Of pauperism
and oppression now so manifest in the miserles
Of the operatives Of England. God forbid the
introduction Of such policy that would Lad to
such calamitous results "a are now experienced
in the manufacturing districts of England. The
great interests of commerce and agriculture,
have but small portion of Mr.. Clay's political
sympathies; Only SO far as they furnish nutrment
to his darling object OF protection, has he word
| to advance in their favor. The genius of our
manufacturers can compete with any nation on
earth their Improvements are, in fact, superior
to all others; and If they will but avoid large
establishments, and difiuse themselves through
out the length and breadth Of this happy coun-
| try, they will soon find hat they are the hand
maid Of agriculture, while commerce is the me-
dun that gathers all the good things into the
| store-house of the nation Those interests are
] identical, and neither should be advanced at
i
have wandered unintentonally from my subject,
and viii remark further, that the lntelgencer
for its friends in Congress, cuts hard at the Pre-
| sident Tor writing his letter to Mr. Graham
That editor is printer to the House, and those
members of Congress, Bolts, Lane, Arnold, &c,
&C., who are so lavish in their abuse of the Pre-
sident, must have an advocate and where, lei
me ask so properly can one be found, as the edi-
tor of the Intelligencer This matteri, perfectly
plain and tothe reader it is to BE- understood and
directed as coming from the friends OF Mr.. Clay.
| The President in thateu speaks his sentiments
and speaks them freely; and there is not an un-
BIASED mind but knows he speaks the truth Of
the present majority in Congress. He intended
his remarks for the maj ority, and they deserve
what he has said of them, and more if they had
their deserts at the hands Of the People. Sen
sibity in some people, on certain subjects are
easily moved; truth is not always in place OH
but where, let me ask, were their sensbtles
when MIR. Clay penned his indecent and llli-
bera letter of the President, which he address
ed to the Wings Of Alexandria; all there said
was just and proper, for Mr.. Clay uttered the
sentiment and the Wings had to gulp it down,
no matter how nauseous the dose. But, forsooh,
if the President speaks his sentiments, even if
they prove to be the sentiments, and meet with
a generous response Of large majority of the
people, yet, they are sentiments not uttered by
Mr. Clay, aud therefore, there is want Of dig
nifty or deficiency of refinement in them
Away, say |, with such mock modesty. The
President feels the weight and responsibility of
his station; he has uttered the sentiments of an
injured man; the people should know who it is,
that neglect the interests of this great nation
| The People want nodisguise, and am sure the
President does not He has spoken boldly Of
the neglect of the ma ,rity in Congress, and he
has done right in so doing; most of the time of
the session being devoted in devisng schemes for
the advancement Of Mr.. Clay to the Presiden-
cy, to the detrment Of the public service and to
private claimants. SO far as 10 his power the
President will perform his duty to the Constitu-
on, and trust to his constituents for their appro-
baton.
