"The Mad sonian is in some respects,
as happy newspaper as you are likely
to meet with in a summers day. All the
thunder that rolls along the sky, is its
thunder. Everything that comes into lis

that in the elections that have occurred

for the triumph Of sound republican prin-
ciples.
Resolred. That the past history of our
country instructs who Benedict Arnold
was, and scriptural history tells us the
story OF Judas Iscariot, and the recent
Presidential history developes the true
character Of John Tyler of Virginia.
Resofped, Tha, President Tyler, by
his acts, has given the lie direct to his
professions when he promulgated to the
American people 'that he would remove
no man from office who had faithfully
acquitted himself OF his duties"
Resohed, That we take our final leave
of John Tyler, by reminding him that the
need of traitor is "a life of blushing
and death Of shame
Resolred, That we fully concur in a

Presidential office; speed the day when

deep and so firm in the affections of the
people, that all the assaults Of destructive

proclaim our political creed, which is first
and foremost, adequate protection to

tire exemption of the fruits of American
labor from ruinous competition with
the products of European pauperism; a
sound, and uniform National currency,

Resolved, That we recognize, in the
person of
HENRY CLAY, of Kentucky
the llnstrious statesman, who, BY his po-
iirical integrity, his eminent services IN
every station where his country has called

vering ght-forwardness, has shown
himself worthy Of our confidence and
support--a man who is eminently quail

American People.
