Those Of line wings who abuse John Tyler so
much, don't seem TO understand the matter. Clay
knew he would and intended he should, veto all
he intended to head the Captain.
If the Bank question and the Tariff question
were settled, pray what would Clay have left to
tons will be settled before the next campaign un.
less the democrats get il majority in Congress-
Clay does no, intend they shall ,Lu, intends that
the President shall bare the blame.

Nlr EDiroR-l observed in late number of the
BcaaiHgihn Ga:eHc, an article over the signature
OF ga Democrat" purporIing TO be structures on
my communication, in relation 10 the 'poor mans
relief law" from the tenor (which it is apparent
that the Democracy OF the writer is very gucs-
Ionahc. The whole argument of the article in
the gazette, goes 10 sustain the doctrine Of In
PrisoQmem for dejt, in support of which the wr-
ter very earnestly quotes few cases of Cropi,
while he wholly negIec,s to discuss the odious lea-
lures of the wing law of the last session, and in so
doing shows himself, instead of democrat, TO be
a ubid whig-notc- SHAVER for it is not in the creed.
or in the heart of Il Democrat to imprison his el-
low man, simply because he canno, pay his debts
The law in question is not a provision 0gdirsi
fraud, but an inducement 10 fraud, a trap for the
honest poor man, and was no doubt intended TO
revive in all its force Imprisonment, for debt; un-
der this law if the poor man has only two cOppcrs
in his pocket, and no property save what is ex-
cmpt from attachment, it is suilicen, glound fo
an affidavit; no discretion is left to the exercise of
the court or Magistrate, but The whole is at the
option of the credior,nor can the honest poor man.,
"for fifty cents before the justice" flee his body
from arrest; for under the existing law, it is the
practice of such land sharks, as the writer in the
Gazette is disposed 10 be; to see but summons
against the poor man instead of capias, and after
Judgment is obtained, TO fie an ot7ddr.t and pro-
cure an execution agains, the body, whether there
be fraud on the part the debtor or moi, or whch-
er he possesses Il fdrihiHg north Of property, or
not the consumaiion Of the NATTER is the incarce-
ration of the debtor, and there is no doubt it was
intended to compel poor men from The polls, as
was the practice offedcra spectators, under the
old imprisonment law. The writer is willing the
bankrupt law should be cursed as it deserves, but
cannot endure The thought that the deeds of dark
ness of his Wing friends in Vernon, should be ex-
posed. But the law in question is an odIous wig
mesure and should be exposed in all its deformity

1t seems 10 us that the federal papers in this
State arc little beside themselves IN making
these attacks upon the private character of the old
farmer, when all who are acquainted with the
man know that his private character is as unexccp-
llonlhe MS any mans in tins State, and while all
know that Charles Poines is exactly the reverse.
Do the federal papers wish to provoke an cxposi-
ton Of the amours, champaign carousals, and
dancing lro!ics of his ENceency! II so, il can
be doHe. Lei il be remembered that PERKINS

organ has accused Mr. Smile of making ann ILL.,
