THE BULLYING CHARLES.

We copy the following communication from
the New Y DIRK EVENING PosT, to show the reck-
less practices of Mr.. CIay's partisans in New
York. They say truly, that they will not sue
coed in their lorcible attempts to prevent the
People from sustaining the President.

course of the day, that notorious Clay man, who
has held an important office in this city, threaten

would put it down by force, and that meeting

CoMsTocK's SYSTEM OF ELocUroN.- is a
most valuable work Members of Congress should
possess it. 1t may be had of Franck Taylor. We
cut the following notice of it from the National Ga

Dr. Comstock has devoted many years sedulously
the study of Elocution, not merely as declamato-
ry art, but science comprehendlng all the pheno
mcna of the voice. and the by which it may be
most successfully cultivated for all the purposes of
speaking. We have examined with some attention,
the first part of Dr. Comstock's book, and find that
in treating of elementary sounds, he advances pre-
cepts evincint intelligent analysis Of vocal ute
rance-a subject very lightly passed over in ordinary
text books upon Elocuton. The whole subject of
the book appears to have been digescd with equal
knowledge and care and would commend to teach
the adoption of his system, as based upon true
comprehension of the powers and of the organs
of speech and the modes of graceful and appropriate
action in oratorica exercises. Various plates illus

The Wings are chal1ed beyond description at MIR.

lence of their wrath and denunciation. But the De-
mocra,c party penetrated with deep gratitude for
the energy he has shown-and the services which he
has thus rendered in arresng the violation of the
principles of the Compromise act We thank him
for his frmnes.-and can OIL y regret that we have
not this ming do justice to his cause, and
place the question its true meits. But The Re-
port of the Richmond Meeting places the relations of
the contracting parties 10 The Compromise in its true
point of view. Mr. Tyler is for carrying out the
pledge-as well as for relieving the Treasury, tar

was read, and the chairman informed those noisy
Clay men that as they not included in the
call OF the meeting, it was act of impertinence
and indecency for them to remain to disturb the
proceedings Notwithstanding this merited reproof,
they still remained and did every thing in their pow
to create disorder and confusion by hissng groan
ing and hurrang for Henry Clay But it was all
without the least effect, for the democrats who
present outnumbered these noisy partisans, ten 10
one. The chairman and gentlemen who officiated,
displayed frmness and dignity deserving all praise
and the resolutions adopted will be responded to by
every democrat in the Union. The resolutions cor
respond with the call of the meeting and explicitly
declare also that they do not wish to create third
party, but to rally on the d republican platform OF
Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. Exclusive OF the
score of Clay wings who came expressly to disturb
the proceedings of the meeting perceived that 1t
was principally composed of sterling democrats, who
are determined to support the President against the
unhallowed, malignant attacks Of the White Char

THE WHOLE CLAY CLIQUE IN A
STORM

The Veto of The incomprehensbe bill" has
thrown the whole of the stye into paroxism
of granting. "What, submit to John Tyler
the imbecle?"-let "a weak and yaclllaung
Chief Magistrate" dictate the law to Congress2
Prythee, not SO fast good gentleman. John Ty-
Ter has NJ wish to dictate TO any one. His sole
desire is 10 do his duty to the country. He
neither dictates TO others, nor does he mean that
others shall dictate to him. But, good brother
editors, do tell us what sort OF masters you
would have the President obey? Would you
have him obey those who are so 'vacialng" eve
leave out other epithets) that they can't be still
for lew months together, but who are seeking
to undo every thing halthey did at the extra
session. Ii was not very long ago when the
effort was made and successfully, too, SO far as
one House was concerned, to repeal the Bank
rupt act; and now the attempt is made TO get
rid of the Distribution act, by changing it ma
terially. Those two have been chaunted forth
as the great Wing measures Of the extra SEES
sion. And now, forsooth, they are to be abro-
gated, and because the President won't consent
to play at this game Of fast and loose, the whole
of the "vaclllaling" crew are in open denunci-
alton. Did the world ever witness the equal to
this? What, abuse man for not repeating and
renouncing the very act which the Wings
passed, following the lead of "THE REPREsEN-
TATIvE OF THE UNION" some few months ago
Why, if we did not know all that was going on
in Congress, we should conclude that Mr.. Ty-
Ter had avowed himself Clay man out and
out Mr.. CLAY's COMPROMISE Bill, and Mr..
CLAY's LAND DISTRIBUTION BILL, are much his
favorites that he will not consent to any change
in them at all and yet, wonderful to say, all
the Clay men, as they call themselves, would
annihilate both. We wonder if the Presidents
advocacy ofthese Clay measures has caused the
Baltimore Patriot so suddenly to run up its ban
ner for Henry Clay? What pinks of consist
ency these gentlemen are, and how "weak and
vacIllating" is John Tyler

A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF MIR. TYLER'S
TREACHERY TO THE WING PARTY.

He was selected for the Vice Presidency
with full knowledge on the part of all those
who nominated him that he was and always
had been opposed to Bank OF the United
States, upon constitutional grounds. In ea'ly
life, when member of the Virginia Legisla-
ture, he offered a resolution Of censurc against
William Brent, then Senator from Virginia, for
having voted for the late Bank. In 1919, in the
House of Representatives, he delivered speech
against the Bank, in which he reiterated his
opinion of its unconsttutionality. In 1882,
upon the same ground, he voted against renew
ing the charter of the Bank and when Gen.
Jackson uetoed the bill which had passed Con-
gress for that object, he sustained the Veto.-
In 1884. in speech delivered in the Senate, he
repeated the declaration Of his opinions, and also
in his celebrated report in relation to the Bank
and in letter in reply to interrogations address
ed to him by certain citizens of Henrlco, IN the
State of Virginia, a fen days only before me
Presidential election commenced, he declared
his opinions on the subject to be wholly I'M
changed When he came into office he took
solemn oath to support the Constitution, and
he exerted the Veto in maintenance OF that
oath and the Constitution-and this was his first
act Of treachery.
He voted for Mr. Clay, in the Harrisburg
Convention, although he knew that Mr.. Clay
was in favor of Bank; and Mr.. Clay voted for
him as Vice President, although Mr.. Clay kneao
that he was against Bank; and yet the friends
of Mr. Clay charge him with Inconsistency,
while they represent Mr.. Clay as the very pink
Of consistency.
Mr. Clay introduced, in 1885, the Compro
mise act, for which Mr.. Tyler voted, and now
because he sus,ains Mr.. Clays oaon act, and
uetoes ssthe little tariff bill" the friends of Mr.
CLAY assail him with the greatest fury, and
charge him with second act Of treachery.
The Distribution bill was lassed at the extra
session. 1t was introduced by Mr.. Clay and
approved by Mr.. Tyler. The act stipulated
that when the taxes are raised above 20 per
cent. the distribution should cease, and the
money arising from the sales of the lands shoulc
90 into the Treasury. For this prouiSo, Mr.
CLAW and his friends Woodland now, because
Mr.. TYLER vetoes the 'litle tariff bill, }" and vii
not consent to be so very "weak and vacilla
ting'' as to undo to day what he approved but ;
day or two ago, he is charged with third &C
of treachery. Truly, truly, he is terribly
treacherous man

JONATHAN ROBERTS.

The s mpalhies of the Lexington barbecue
orator, of the 9th of June, greatly excited in
behalf of the good collector of the port of Phila-
dephia. We would like to be informed at what
time the orator came to feel so deep an interest
in this, his new protege and friend. Was 1t
when the President took him by the hand, and
elevated him to the place which he nov fills
over the head of Bella Badger, aided by the nu-
merous friends of Mr. Clay? Or have his sym
pathies been excited in his behalf, no until he
has come to be informed, doubtless by loving
letter from the collector himself that out of up
wards of one hundred custom-house officers,
scarcely friend of Mr.. Tyler is to be found
among the number? and that when Mr.. Tyler
protests against this, and asks that handful of
his true friends may enjoy portion of his pa
tronage, this man whom he had taken up with
out recommendation from any one, refuses even
this small boon to his benefactor? Truly, truly
Mr.. Clay's sympathies Of the most generous
and patriotic order. That is all right, Mr.
Clay, perfectly right it is better to be in at the
death of the fox, than not to be in the chase
at all. Then you can shed tears most plente-
ousy, as Ben Hardin charged you with doing
"Iong time ago." before your constituents,
when you ask them to forgive you for your
vote on the Compensation law-.-that little law
by which the members Of Congress were to put
only a cool 1900 dollars per annum in
their pockets. Mr.. Clay's tears have been trea-
sured up until now, when he sheds them copi-
ously on the head of Jonathan Roberts Alack-
+" Captain" be! and how tender-hearted a soul

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

with the most extraordinary announcement IN
the history of our country. Bolts, the sporting

tive determination TO move articles of impeach-
ment against the President! We ask Bolts if

turning bill, with his reasons, 10 that House, In

Failing TO ''head" him, they are now resolved to
BEHEAD him Let the headers beware Of the
axe themselves! An awkward blow may be
fatal to thelnseves-and they are as igno-

the attempt If Bolts ever harbored the least
particle OF an intention to carry his empty threat
into execution, (Which we very much doubt, J

Correspondence Of the Journal of Commerce.
WAsHINGToN, Saturday, July I'd,

The maiorities of the House and Senate, though
much excited and agtated by the Veto OF the pioneer
Tariff yet determined to prosecute the principal
Bill now before the House to another Veto. The in
terregnum Of litigation and bankruptcy WILL therefore,
continue for weeks, even should the President
in the tme jump out of his skin, and adopt the
Wing policy. No proposition will be entertained, In
this fearful interval for supplying the defects in exist
ing Collection laws-if any such laws are in existence
The House promptly and decidedly refused to adopt
any that would relieve the administration from
its present difficulties. What is to be done, after the
veto of Mr. Fimore's Revenue Tariff, is not decided.
But understand that there number of conscien-
tous and moderate men, who will then consent to
strike out the land prOviso to YIELD for the present
this tremendous bounty of Is l6hs of cent to each
individual in the States-and to trust the people so
far as to allow them the privilege of retaining or
abandoning this boon, as they may please, through
their Representatives who about to be elected I'M
der new apportionment But it is doubtful-to say
the east-whether much moderation and wisdom
will be practised The greater number will go for
an adjournment, after the next veto, leaving Mr. Iy-
Ter to contest with the Courts the legality Of his Urea
sury regulations In this case and if need be, Con-
gress will be called back almost they have
adjourned and the country will have opporuni-
y, in the mean time to speak its opinions In the mat
er-if indeed the country has any right to interfere
in these party squabbles, from which it suffers so
much
There is not majority in either House for high
protective tariff. The land proviso alone can carry
such bill through. The efore, whenever the land
proviso be abandoned, the scheme will fall to
the ground Then there will be opportunity
though with but little prospect of success TO frame
moderate Revenue BILL attording incidental protec-
ton, which many of the democratic members Will
support, and which may thus be passed

ANOTHER VETO.

The mail of yesterday morning brought intelli-
gence that Presiden, Tyler had vetoed the bill post
poning the operation of the Compromise act" till
the first day of August. The information was re-
ceived with great joy, by that portion of our fellow
citizens which claims 10 be emphaically and excu-
sively democratic and their JOY demonstrated by
the display of the national flag from their headquar-
tiers in State street.
