idly increasing, and political institutions which give
men full scope for the development of all the powers
which God has given them. He finds more than
seventeen millions of people reapng the rewards OF
their industry, and none of them suffering Tor the
comforts of life unless in consequence of incidence,

With these facts before us, it is easy to decide
which of the two opinions stated above is correct.
Our friend from abroad is right the Americans are
the happiest people in the whole world. The Ian

and has no just application any body any thing,
except few broken spectators and fraudulent bank

The Hon. H. Clay, being foiled in his attempt to
change our Government into great moneyed aristo
cracy is DESTROYS Of removing the great barrier to his
ambitious schemes. Thus it will be seen that he has
fallen to work in right good earnest to pull down the
excellent old Constitution under which we have so
long, and so happily, lived But,we imagine he will
find this the most difficult task he ever undertook.
The people of the United States are too much welded
to, and hold too sacred the form of Government es-
tablished for them by Washington and the fathers
of the Revolution to destroy alter it, at the
beck or nod of Henry Clay.-We think he had better
desst from his sacriegious work for he will have
hs labor for his palms," and the excavations of all
good men to boot.-Lincol'a (.N c. Republican.
