ganize their party in new form, under new

Senate.
Well, be il 50 We ought to thank them. per-
haps, ior The caution which they are teaching us.
II the van9uished will not disband, surely the vic
tors cannot. So far from it, we must Use the vic
tory NC have obtained with proper moderation
and wisdom. We must do our duty To the coun-
Try. We must establish those reforms which the
public interests demand We must obtain
Texas, in spite Of the refractory Webster and
Adams. We must molly The Tariff, in despite
of Henry Clay himself, his violated PLEDGES and
his iyeacherous COMPROMISE. We should do
this, in spirit OF justice to tie country, and yet
of Cancellation 10 our friends. which should NEE!

party. We mas: do our duty, in despite Of the
Wings; and trust ourselves Ia the pure judgmcn,
OF tree people. II we can adjust any of these
great questions during the next Session OF Con-
sress, under the auspices of Mr.. Tyler, so much
the better for the Republican party-and 50 much
the more glorious for him.
What have we to lcarl Nothing. even from
the imprisoned Wings Nothing if we hnt do
our duty, fearessIy, frankly, with moderation
and with wisdom. We see the Wings again
counting without their host They say tina; &c
neral Jackson is waning, and that his great name
will no longer be sufficient 10 keep Us together.
We must then keep together without him. We
must maintain our union, one ans ndlvisbIe. be-

Their superintendent pressure will only keep our
own arch more strongly united. They 1atcr them
selves also with the hope OF oW divisions. They
say, our candidates only withdrew in May last,
TO give themselves the opportunity first OF beating
Clay, and then Of pushing their own pretensions.
What are the Wings like the Bourbons? Will
they never learn wisdom from adversiiy2 Will
they never profit BY experience? Do they not re-
collect how much they crowed last Spring at the
number of our aspiring candidates and at the
certain prospect OF our divisions? and did they
no, see how soon we learned wisdom from dan
ser-rallied upon one candidaie-and beat their
prouGcst champion with new man? We are
prepared again 10 repeat The lesson. We are
again willing 10 teach our most distinguished men
hat the Office belongs 10 the People and no, 10
hem-tha, they must wait upon the voice OF The
real sovereigns, and that when they speak their
wishes, our noblcst sons must again sacrifice their
ambition on the altar OF their country, and carry
out our principles in the face Of the Enemy. But
