Surely that man is poet who gains such praise and
such abuse. And verify we believe Evans can and

WHIGS AND LOCOFOCOS.

Positively we know no such parties in
this country as Wigs and Democrats.
We deny that there are such. There are
Wings and we maintain that the Wings.
are THE DE MoCRATs, ifthere must be
party ofthat name. Certainly, they are the
true Democrats, ifthere be any such in the
land. We mean no disrespect to the Loco
focos ty this party designation. They came
by it accidentally as the name of Whig was
first acquired.
Under these names, (whig and locofoco)
or any others not national and generally
comprehensive the issue is fairly made and
always stands, as is proper and important
which of the two is more truiy, or more
Democratic than the other, according to the
democratic standard of our government
and its institutions Neither party so far
as we know, proposes any other standard

THE CHEAT AND STEALTH IN
VOLVED IN THIS MISNOMER.

The name of democrats was stolen, by
those who now claim TO wear it exclusively
They had no title to It. 1t is an American
not party name. La such an appropria-
ton it is a cheat Tie advocates of One
Man PO,oer in the Veto, as it has been used
(abused) by our national Executive, are
Monarchists, not Republicans. Much less
are they Democrats. They have also been
the advocates of other abuses and usurpa-
tions of Executive power. They were the
first party in the country, since the forma-
lion of our government, that set up and up
held One Man Power, and the most remar-
kabe fact is, that they did this at the very
moment when they stole and put on the
name of Democrats They have justified
and sustained the President of the Unted
States in the use of monarchicaL powers, we
might say absolute powers. which would
have cost the Sovereign of Great Britain
throne and a crown. and which would have
revolutionised almost any kingdom in Eu-
Iope-all under the name of"Democracy ln
At the same time. and all along, the
Wings have resisted these encroac hments of
One Man Power and been the advocates of
popular rights-of true Democracy. Such
is their position before the country at this
moment. 1t is for the rights of the People
that they maintain perpetual strife 1t is
for this that MIR. Clay has contended unin-
terruptedly and untringly. The rights of
American Democracy. If sacrificed any
where, will be sacrificed in the Capitol OF
the Republic, in The Congress OF the United
States. in the persons of The Representatives
of the people. Repeatedly have blows a
gainst democracy been struck there,-re-
peatedly have the rights of the people been
trampled on in that place by the iron heel of
Executive power with the consent and by
the aid of these self styled Democrats p
1t is to shield and protect that citadel of Dem
ocratic power and Unpopular freedom, from
these invasions and irruptions, that Mr..
Clay and those associated with him, have
so long strived and still strive.

The Texas treaty signed and submitted to
the United States Senate for Ratification
The Washington Madisonian of the 18th
makes the following announcement. 1t is
the Government organ. and says what is so :
Texas TREATY-"lt is understood that
the Treaty of Annexation between the Uni
ted States and Texas was this day signed,
and that it will be submitted to the Senate
for ratification as soon as the accompan wing
documents can be prepared"
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Patriot writes of the above:
"This publication is no doubt made upon
authority, and communicates the important
information which the public have. for some
days past, been anxiously looking for. 1t
seems the President and Mr.. CALHOUN
have determined to try the fate of this meas
ure before the Senate. What that fate will
be. think may be safely predicted There
are members of the Senate who. under diff
feren: circumstances and at another time,
might probably go for annexation, but who
will oppose it now"

tendance on that occasion. and that they ad-
dress the Club.
8. ResoEu ed, That Messrs. Sam'l King
r. F. Cook and Richard Stephens, be ap-
pointed a committee to make all necessary
arrangements.
And whereas, it appears from the public
papers, that the great Prince of Libeilers
and Ingrates, Amos Kendall, has got at his
old employment ofslandering and villifying
his early benefactor, the Hon. Henry Clay
and that too. apparently under the auspices
and patronage of the Van Buren, party,
Therefore, Resolred, That the members
of the Clay Club of Lafayette county. view
with mingled feelings of wonder and abhor
renee. this effort to blacken and destroy the
public character of one of the best and great
est men IN our country. And that the eff
orts now made to administer 10 the religious
portion OF the voters matter so libelEous and
false, as is contained in the Kendall tracts,
with view to prejudice their minds, is un-
worthy of any cause or party, and is deser-
vedly condemned by all men who respect
private virtue and public morals
Ordered that Messrs. Belcher, Tho. D.
Isom and E. F. McGhee, be the committee
of correspondence under the 2nd resolution
The Club then adjourned to the regular
