TO ACTION,

Every new developement at Washing
ton shows the Importance TO the nation of
that change in the administration of the
Government, which is proposed by the
Wing party. The wrelched policy ,ha,
has been pursued, for some years past, of
making the Presidential office a means of
recollection of its incumb cnl, or the per-
petuation of a dynasty, call upon every
true American to rally Tor the principles
OF republicanlsm, and upon the measures
that can alone secure the correction of
tins crying evil, ruinous to public morals,
and destructive to the nation.
Men have wrought this cvil-mcn have
produced this state of things; and the re-
NEEDY is to be found in change of men,
and only i'll change. 1t is in vain to hope
Tor any help from men or party, who
are pledged to a particular course already
injurious, and who have greater pride to
establish a party, than to assis, the country.
of all can hope be centred on the
present Executive, who is bending every
influence of his station, and sacrificing
every principle and custom of his hgh
Office, to insure another term of SERVICE
service ! another term of wild misrule, of
ruinous dominancy.
Throughout all the attempts at changes
which have been made within these las,
twenty years, public opinion has pointed
to Henry Clay, as the man of all others
who if elected, could cor Get the growing
evils, and bring back the nation to its for
merprosperity. But, unfortunately, many
OF them who thus confessed the ability of
MIR. Clay, as u President, seemed to be
governed by doubts of his strength as
candidate, and thus the strength and efl-
cheney OF an opposition was wasted, and
the nation left to suffer the miseri.s of
continued misrule. The errors of opinion
touching the availability Of the candidate
have been corrected, and the whole voice
OF the Wing party from every section of
the Union has been heard in favor of the
availability as a candidate as well as grea,
ability as President, of HENRY CLAY.
And the same hearty concurrence, has
placed with the name of Henry Clay tina,
Of Theodore Frelinghuysen. In these
men are now the hopes (under Heaven o.
the nation. To their statesmen like tai
en's and their exalted patriotism, must
the nation look. The miserable caslirg
about of the broken fragments of our an
tagonlst party, shows that they have moth
to offer, and if we could trust to the real
feelings OF majority of that party, we
should confess that any exertion to pro
mote the election of Henry Clay, are un-
necessary. But we cannot, we ought no,
to trust to those feelings, it is due to the
Importance of'the cause in which we are
engaged to secure every avenue. TO en-
Ploy every means, to canvass every man.
and to unite every vote. Our opponents.
like ourselves, have party pride, and they
are IN danger Of being lead away by that
OF iorgelluness of their patriotic duties.
They may be blinded with the delusive
hopes that by mere chance they may get
their candidate before the House of Re.
representatives., and thus secure another
party triumph. Against this feeling and
every other that may be considered all
tagnolstical, it is the duty of the Wings to
be on their guard. Let them labor, labor,
labor, and then, if they have The aid Of
that class Of the other party it will only
swell the good of the nation; if they have
not, II the enemy continue TO regard party
more than the country; the Wings can
succeed without them, and show that the
valor was all to the Whigs.-U. S. Ga..
