In all matters of great and general and last
ing interest, on which the decisions and opln-
ions of the Executive have been made known,
the public voice with unbroken unanimlty sus-
tains them.
In those matters, on which it has not spoken,
we believe it will when its course is made
known, command equal assent.
We have only 10 say, for the present, 'strike
but hear"
In conclusion, it may not be amiss to remark,
that all the great and difficult matters in differ
ence between this Government and Great Brl-
tain are at once devolved upon this Admins
traton and must, now, without delay, be dis
posed Of. ~
These disputes are the legacies of former ad-
ministrations Some of them have come down
from period thirty years distant. Here are
questions not settled in Mr. Monroe's time, nor
Mr.. Adams's time

Notwithstanding this unprecedented accumula-
ton of responsibility upon those who at present
administer the Executive Government, notwith-
standing that the honor of the country and per-
haps the peace of the world are both likely to be
deeply affected by what the Administration
may now do, or omit to do, accomplish, or
fail to accomplish, yet it suits the purposes OF
such papers as the Globe, and, what is more la
mentable, it seems wise and patriotic to mem
bers of Congress, such as MIR. Lane and Mr..
Gentry, to lose no opportunity to do the little
that in them lies to disparage the talents OF the
President and his advisers, and weaken their
power and ability to serve their country.
These gentlemen seem to take especial de-
light in causing it to be made known, under the
very noses of the Ministers and agents OF TO-
reign governments, that no efforts of theirs will
contribute to any course Of policy likely to give
popularity and strength to the Administration,
or to assert the right of the nation, by force, Sc
long as John TYLER is President Of the United
States.
Such is the patriotism, such the love Of
country of those who seek to distinguish them
selves as opponents of the Administration

CLAWS RETIREMENT.
VIM. B. SMITecrctary

By voluntary act, Mr.. Clay yesterday retired
from the Senate of the United States and though we
hail his departure from the public councils as omen
of great good to the nation we cannot forbear re-
mindng the people of the magnitude of the insult
which the act inficts upon the nation Before the
expiration of the first regular session of Congress
chosen at the nstgaon of this party leader and his
followers, with large majority in each branch sup
plant to his beck, and when the government and the
nation are overwhelmed in debt and embarrassment
we find him suking from power and responsibility
We indeed, anticipate good from his retirement
for trust that many of the factionsts, when this
tyranncal dictator has gone, will be found ultimately
willing to unite with the true friends of the country
in rescuing the nation from her awful and alarming
situation. But with what grace can the federal
leadersAthe partisans of Henry Clay-confront an
injured, an nsu ted, ay, and an afflicted people,
when the wrongs which they, with him, have entaied
upon the country, everywhere rising up in judge
ment before them?

FAITH AND ENERGY.

In the course of a conversation few days since
upon the necessity of faith and energy in the pursuits
Of life one Of most respectable citizens cited his
own case He said that in the early part of his ca
reer, and when he had been married but few years,
favorte child was taken i'll, and languished for
some time. The and expense connected with
the misfortune, narrowed his pecuniary means very
much and to crown the temporary disaster, the sur
geon who was employed on the occasion, sent in
Bill for $780, 1t was paid, but in efecting the object
our friend was compelled to sell the horse with which
he carried on his business. "You may well imagine,
he remarked, 'afairs looked gloomy enough in pc
cunary point of view, about this time. But was
young, enjoyed good health and possessed both faith
and energy. The world was cross and shadowy Tor
while, but still pushed with as light heart as
possible, and now, thank Providence, after having
brought up large family feel myself perfectly in
dependent and hope to continue SO for the rest OF my
DAYS" The citizen alluded to- is by no means an old
man, has already enjoyed the confidence of the COM
munty in an eminent degree, and may be referred to
as an apt illustration Of the results Of FAITH
cY, and UPRIGHT MORAL CONDUCT, in the progress of
man through civilized life.

pointed Secretary.
A committee of nine was then appointed to draft
resolutions expressive of the Of the meeting
consisting of the following gentlemen: Col. Jesse
Mather, E. Heon, Esq, VIM. Hosea, Jr., Dr. WIN.

Col. Mathew Aiken, Benjamin Drain Esq., and DR..
VIM SEWER
During the absence of the committee, the meeting

The committee then reported the following resolu-
TONS which were unanimously adopted:
Ist. Resolued, That fou ded upon well-estabished
and ong-cherished principles the cause of Republic
rests for Its support upon the virtue and nte-
gence of free people and repudates the low appeals
to passion and prejudice which characterize and
disgrace portion of the Wing party in their course
towards Mr.. Tyler.
I'd. Resolpsd That opposed to the squan-
dering of the public money upon magnificent schemes,
tending to corrupt and demolaze the people, and OPP
posed to distributions of surplus revenues-because
we would collect more money than is essential to the
wants of the Government economically administered.
Sd. Hesoiued That the President, by his recon-
mending to Congress repeal of the distribution Act
has identified himself with the feelings and interests
of large majority of the American people, and has
Justly entitled himself to rank with the Virginia Pre-
sdents.

sures of the esident and that the nations gratitude
is due him for his firm and fearless exercise of the
Veto power

vernment, according to the Virginia and Kentucky
Resolutions of 90, and according to the letter and
spirit of the Constitution.
7th. Resolpcd, That condemn the course Of
Thos. D. Arnold, our representative in Congress.
8th Resolred, That Thos. d. Arnold by his tame
submission to the insults Of Dawson and Rayner of

be unworthy to represent the chivaric constituency

ing and forwarded to the Madsonian for publication

NEW YORK CITY ELECTION.-MR. CLAY
FIRST GUN AFTER THE NORTH CA
ROLINA NOMINATION.
New YoRK, April IS, 1912.

New York, April 13, 1912.
The election closed last evening-the Clay clubs
were confident Of the election of their Mayor, Mr..
Phoenix, up to the last moment The counting of
the VOTE however shows him lacking couple of thou
sand of votes of majority. R. H. Morris, Loco Foco,
is elected Mayor. Mark the blight that the name
of Mr. Clay brings upon the party protesting to sus-
tain him. Last year Mr. Phoenix lost his election to
the Mayoralty by few votes, Mr.. Morris being
elected then by 100 majority. This year the
Clay clubs took the conduct of the Wing party into
their own hands-they resolved, in most Of the
Wards, that Mr.. Clay is the only great and patriotic
man in the United States-that he must and shall be
the next President-that Phoenix was out-and-
out Clay man. real Manifesto Clay man. and
therefore would combine the strength of the Wing
party and be assuredly elected Mayor of New York.
Success at this election to the Wings has been de-
cIared douby sure by OF the formation of the
Clay clubs and the cry has been, we support no man
for any Office unless he will avow himself Clay man
The result of all this clamor and prescription for Mr..
Clay is that while there is admitted to be clear ma
jority in the city Of Wings, Mr. Clays banner is fast
returning the party to the miserable minority of former
days, when Mr. Clay the accustomed candidate.
With Mr. Clay in the field, Tammany has always
held majority in New York, varying fiom two to
Eve thousand under HIS lead, the ancient power of
the Locos, with majority of pe thousand, will soon
be restored. The truth u.s. the People formerly dis
posed to sustain Mr. Clay, Disguised with his
rule or ruin policy-they him leading an oppos-
ton in Congress to the measures of an Executive and
Cabinet whose conduct they approve. They see
Congress under his lead exhibiting spirit of discon
tent with everything, and they think they discover
determination to put off and hold off all measures of
reeft The country for three years more for the
partisan object Of enabling MIR. Clay to 60 into the
Presidential contest claiming the character of the
DELlvERER of the People. Attempts have been made
in this city, by certain desperate and abandoned men
to cast ridicule and odum upon the of the Ad
mnstration by getting up anonymous calls for pre-
tended Tyler meetings. These movements are well
understood here to have originated in sinister motives
and for unfriendly objects.
In due time, you will see muItitudes of the sober
minded and orderly people of New York rallying to
the support Of the Of the Administration which
they regard as the cause of the country.

CONGRESS-.

In the House, Thursday, Mr.. Fillmore
moved to print 5000 extra copies Of the report
Of the Committee on Manufactures on the Ia
ordered, 81 voted in the affirmative, and SO in
the negative.
Mr. Fillmore then observed that two months
having elapsed since the Appropriation bill had
been first taken up by the Committee of the
Whole, and the prospect now existing that it
would not be Immediately disposed of in the
usual manner, he felt himself compelled to offer
a resolution to take the bill out of the Commit
tee Oh next Saturday at 12 o'clock. Mr. An
drews offered as an amendment, to take out the
bill on Thursday at o'clock. To this Mr.
Adams objected, as he wished to have time
to reply to remarks made on Wednesday,
Mr. Andrews insisted on his motion, but it was
negatived. On the resolution of Mr.. Fillmore,
the ayes and noes were ordered, and it was car
ried by vote of 100 to 10. The same gentle
man then moved to take up the Loan bill, which
had been just returned from the Senate with an
amendment. Objection was made, and he
moved suspension of the rules. This motion
prevailed by vote of111 to 3S. To the amend
ment of the Senate, Mr.. Clifford proposed
proviso, limiting the range Of discount at which
the bonds might be sold to an aggregate loss on
the whole amount of the loan. The proviso
was negatived. The bill passed with the Sc
Mates amendment.
On going into Committee Of the Whole, Mr..
Wise, by the assent of Mr.. Butler, made some
remarks in addition to his speech of the pre-
vous day. He was followed by the latter in
short speech.
Mr.. G. ]. Ingersoll moved to reduce the grade
of the ministers at Berlin and Vienna, and
accompanied his motion by long argument on
the influence of foreign missions, the character
Of our relations with Great Britain, and our
state of preparation for war.
He was followed by Mr.. Adams, who went
into history of the right Of search as held in
this country, and an examination of the princi-
pies on which the right is based.
