"THERE Is NO REST FOR THE WICKED"
The fact is frequently illustrated in the history Of
the prohgae and vicious that the very resorted
to for the purpose of concealng their guilt leads to
exposure and consequent just punishment for crimes
committed. we mistake not the signs of the times
the means rcsored 10 by the cold hunkersn to force
their fayorite for the Presidency on the Democratic
party, will result in total overthrow of their machi-
merry by which so many outrages have been inflicted
upon those who have refused submission to their will
A II our information from Washington assures US of
the fact that the election of F. P. Blair as Printer to
the House, has filled up the measure of their guilt
aroused spirit Of resistance which will teach the
Jacobins Of the Democratic party that there is some
thing more in Democracy than a name TO be used by
them TO gull and deceive the people.
When the istory and character of F. p. Blair is
examined, and the assumption of dictatoTal power
standing forth in every act and word he has perform
ed and uttered for the last eighteen months is borne
in nd, il can not be deemed strange that his re-
ee ton TO the place he has heretofore dsgraced by
his populations the public Treasury should rouse
spirit of determined resistance, which will dsap-
point the expectations of the INSCRIPTIONS an selfish
partisans, who, by caucus dctation, succeeded in
putting on the country such dishonor
The Joy that filled the exultng bosoms Of the Me-
dairy and Drough clique, when the information of
Blairs election was first received has already given
place TO anxiety and forebodings The spirit OF de-
terminod resistance which il has called into active
exercise at every point from which information has
been received, has alarmed them. The reader is re-
ferred TO articles copied from the Madsonian and
Spectator.
