, We learned, while at Washington, that there were
some fifty or sixty Wing members Of Congress that
were showing signs of throwing of the Clay collar
ana gong for their country. With overwhelming
ma]orl,cs OF Wings i'm both branches OF Congress,
and having been in session nearly a whole year, in
GLIDING the Extra Session, yet nothing done but
what led the country to deep disgrace. The whole
object Of the leading Wings, devoted to MIR. Clay,
seemed to be, to "head Captain Tyler, and more and
more distract the country MIR. Clay and his friends
seemed 10 think that nothing would elevate him 10
the Presidency but the and distress of the peo-
pie. On that they were to rely and hence the more
confusion they could produce, the greater their hope
OF success. But We must confess that did not
expect TO find our old "Naonal Republican acquaint-
ances, Messrs Morris and Goode leading off in the ex-
posure Of such party baseneSs. The Democrats were
cd down by The Clay organization and gaggng system.
They kept off Of all important positions on commit
tees, refused chance ofspeakng by tyrannical rules,
more iyrannIcally enforced, and waiting with lmpa.
tence for the time when The people would arouse in
their might and change the order of things. We con-
graduate Messrs. Morris and Goode their nerve to
come forward, and thus decately lay bare the hopeless
condition OF the country under the eiiisy burning rule
and dc,aon of Mr. Cay's distress manufacturing or
ganizatIon of the two Houses OF Congress We advise
the Clay Club Of this city TO Immediately call their
clans together and express an opinion this

To Mr.. Morris it is CALLING 10 the Clay Wings or, as
the President significantly calls them ''mousing patti
eiaas.' The Cincinnati Gazette is in doleful rage at
the President, for this letter 10 MIR Graham; and tho
editor raises himself feet his boots, after this
manner:
"This whole affair is most ridiculous, and cannot fail
to lessen Mr. Tyler in the estimation of all candid
men, The Wings of the country have sought 10
quarrel with him; there is among them every where
disposition TO support his measures far they can;
and both in and out of Congress- they have abored to
carry forward all which promised any thing
like relief to the people! Yet this President denomi-
mates them faction, talks of their sacrificing the
try abuses their leading men housing politicians,
who think only Of their petty schemes Of hatred and
ambition, and very eager vent his spleen, that
he must forsooth, Jorcc an occasion by writing mise
rable letter to Joseph Graham, and, in effect for the
Cincinnati Republican,.
ave never read tweddle from demagogue."
But here the elters-they cut and all
round and will produce lutiering in the Wing ranks
throughout the State. What says our neishbor of The
