WHO CAN TRUST THE ADMINISTRATION
The Richmond Wing thus responds TO this inquiry

Here is the language of the American people OF all
parties. Why do not these men--lhese traitors-ue
renegades-these universally odous and OBNOXIOUS
usurpers-abdcate the Government when 'hey con.
troll not only without the authority OF The people, Dut
in direct opposition TO nineteen-twentieths OF The
American people, Let them give way, and all VIII
lie right. One the other party will succeed 10
power and the voice of the people, now stined by
the interpostion of virtual interregnum, be again
heard"
CoMMENr.-Such is the language of the
Richmond Wing, endorsed by the Baltimore
Patriot!!! We have given the italics as we
find them ave piH not be relieved by
THEM ay.n fiI,ay cnnlb ralieye We Dre-
fer to suffer on, and find relief at last from no
nest hands"
Well and truly has il been said, that "whom
the gods destroy they first make mad" These
organs of the Wing party having announced
this as the party creed, it may be well to exa-
mine il. They say that they will not be re-
lieved by John Tyler and Daniel Webster !
And why will they not be relieved by John
Tyler and Daniel Webster2 Ii is because they
prefer TO be relieved by other hands--lhat is, By
Mr.. Clay's.
Let it be remarked, that ii is here admitted
that the measures recommended by the Presi-
dent would give relief-that the Wing party
have a majority ia both Houses of Congress,
and could have carried those measures, but did
not, because they would not be relieved by
John Tyler and Daniel Webster, preferring to
suffer under the hope that, if no relief is CIV
en-, then the candidates of the Wing party
will be put in power,
Is it possible to conceive of more lamenta-
bic state of faction than this? Has there been
any instance in the history OF his or any
other country in which the madness of party
open declaration that the partisans of Mr.. Clay
expect to get possession of the Government,
not by laboring for the public welfare, not by
advocating or originating measures for the re-
lief of the People, but by defeating the mea-
sures that are proposed by the President No,
say they, we will not permit the People to be
relieved by you. We prefer to defeat all your
measures, that the People may "suter on" I'M
I'll they are compelled TO call in Mr.. Clay y!
This explains why, with decided Wing
majority in both Houses Of Congress, nothing
has been done TO relieve the People. This OK
plains all the movements of the Wing party as
a arty. 1t shows that the purpose Is TO make a
President who will uphold the party at the e1-
pense of the country. Mr.. Tyler is denounced as
a traitor. In what has he been unlaithful 2
The Wings knew before he was elected tina,
he would not approve a National Bank His
veioes, therefore, do not justify the charge they
make against him. la what has he offended
them2 1t is that he has had the 6rmness to be
4 a.
Obligations TO the country instead Of yielding 10
the mandate of the party caucus. He Is true 10
the country and to the Constitution (; the Wings
wan, President who will be true TO their par
,y-and the Wing and the Patriot are so besot-
ted so stepped in party, as to assert that this is
The language of the American People.
What say you People Of these United States7
DO You prefer TO suffer on" that you may be
compelled in the agonles Of despair TO elect Mr.
Clay your President, rather than to be reliev ed
now by Mr.. Tyler2
What will be the moral influence of the cleo
lion Of Mr. Clay with such declaration before
the People, What President will hereafter
dare to resist party mandate, if the People
under the pressure Of the party screws, are now
compelled TO elect Mr.. Clay PRESIDENT 1t is
well, however, that the declaration is made: we
will take good care that it is kept before the
People. We call upon every Democratic press
TO announce and keep it constantly before their
readers that the Wings will not be relieved by
this Administration.
