ThE INCORRUPT1HLK GUARD.

| The "Guardn which formed themselves for
the support Of Mr.. Tyler and his Administra-
lion, have at length all been rewarded, notwith-
standing their proiestaiions Of determination
to act upon the principle Of self-denial. At first

made there was to be a Pres ideni without
party, and Presidential supporters who were to
refuse With stoic 6rmness, every allurement Of
Office, and exhibit to the world that they were
adjusted BY the Purest motives Of principle
But in the face Of all these declarations what
has been the result In the language Of the
Forum, the incompatible, unbought and unpur-
chaseable " Guard, )" has abandoned the field
they made an onset pt the tents and camp bag
gage each seized an armfuI Of the spells and
scattered to the four corners Of the EARTH one 10

a fourth was tripped up in his race TO France
and now the 9Th is to take Cabinet appoint
ment And this is the end Of ali those profess
sions which were SO strongly made-this the
commentary which is ELECTED BY their course !;
they promised much and performed nothing
their VOWS were written in the sand; The Cor
Poral's Guard were bought up, and the bounty
money has now been paid
