The Clay PARrv.-When the Wings were
discussing the claims Of their several candi-
dates for the Presidency, in 1888, the Boston
Atlas. leading Harrison Journal. and now
warmly devoted to Mr.. Clay, used the follow.
ing language Mo. Repor.
THAT Mr.. Clay is the chosen candidate Of
the aristocracy Of the Wing party is nnqnes-
,ionable: and Jealous efforts will be made to
impose him upon the Wings as their candidate
1t is also certain that Mr.. Clay is not the
choice Of the Democracy Of the Wing party.
Apart from Other sufficient reasons, therefore.
which we shall give hereafter. the very fac,
that Mr.. Clay is the darling Of the aristocraiic
Wings, or rather the very canses that make
him so, operate in the nature Of things 10 pre-
jndice him in the eyes of the Democratic
Wings, and to lead them TO fix their choice
upon some other candidate: and under the
actual circumstances Of the ease, that candi-
date is Gen. Harrison"
The same paper described the aristocra,ic
Wings as follows:
"They include large proportion Of the
richer merchants, and capitalists. and planters.
and their immediate retaners and depennants,
as well as the members Of the legal profession
generally, throughout the country, aud indeed
mos, Of those persons among us who. with or
than their neighhor. and more entitled TO poli,i-
cal weigh, and influence. This section Of the
Why's, thus composed, forms what NAV pro-
perl; enough be described as the arisocracy
Of the Wing party"

--Ai-h n.eA aha;r Alnriarol r.sA g. ~ g 81
didates in 1910. have struck the coon skin banner
and unfurled the Democratic Gag at their mastheas
still they affect to believe themselves decidedly in the
majority, and lay the failure Of the era! Congress
to redeem the pledge Of good and easy times made
by hired orators and presses upon Mr.. Tyler. Poor
excuse. indeed. Can the wing calumniators of Mr.
Tyler cite us a single pledge on record among the
letters or speeches Of Mr. I. in favor of Bank Of
the United States! Until something Of tbs char
acter shall be produced, Mr.. Tyler stands justly
quilted Of inconsistency in this NATTER o. treaciery
TO the wing party. The leaders Of that party, the
knowing ones, were well aware of his opposition to
National Bank at the time of his nomination, and
were willing TO honor him for the purpose of carry
ing an end they never dreamed of his ability to de-
ieat. or else supposed their support Of him would
bride him to Inconsistency. to perjury.
No one will deny that thousands who shouted
for Tppecanoc and Tyler too, were of the belief that
Mr.. Tyler was favorable 10 Bank. When interro-
gated on that subject, his nomination was the re-
suit Of scheme concocted to deceive the people, his
answers were cvasiye, referring them to his former
expressions Of opinion on the subject. The bold
ness with which these references were made. added
to the presumption upon his nomination, so far sat
isfied the bankes that search was seldom, if ever,
made to see what those principles were.
Now that he has risen to power, and chosen to
do his duty to his country, refusing to carry out the
scheme SO deeply laid for its run he is assailed-te-
nounced as worthy the rack-by those who once
worshipped him. For his frmness displayed upon
several occasions since he has occupied the Presden
tai chair he must receive tue thanks of the nation,
counterbalance to the abuse heaped upon him ty
the party trying to "head" him.
However great may be the excitement raised a.
eainst him in the whig party by his vetoes, there
are too many honest men who voted with the wings
and now sustain him, to leave Mr.. Clay the le.st
hope OF success at the next election. Whigeery is
laid low. and cannot rise again. at least until some
new scheme shall be invented to deceive the people.

important intelligence that the Mexicans have al
last invaded Texas under General Wall, and cap
