important to those Immediately cohcefheu
than The Presidency itself,) 1t was louhd 10 NC

Iindiscrim nately; and finally while loudly con
demuing the Executive for permitting any
Wings to remain in Office, assa In the most
m.,cnan, spirit every Democrat who accepted
Office
such Machiavelian conduct, if there be any
virtue in the People, or justice IN an overrulnS
Providence, mus, sooner or later, De io'-
lowed by an awful retribution. 1t is true ihat
the iunro of Jacobns, who concocted the ms
chief have accomplished their selfish design
T.ev have succeeded in sna,ching enormous
sums from the public crib, which outweigh win
them all other considerations. The honoTs OIL
office. with them are insignificant, when COM
pared with the substantial advantages OF gold.
They care not what may be the fate OF 9th
ers, who may be in quest of the former, SO 'hey
possess the latter.
The guilty have succeeded, and now the IN
nocent must, in all probability, suffer annlhlla-
lion. The tyrannical Jacobns have managed
to make the honest privates OF the party the
hewers of wood and drawers OF water" Tor their
owuexclusve benef'. They have resolved to
ride in golden and richly cushioned car
drawn bv the People, with bits in their mouths
and strong slracesp to their collars. The I'M
measured abuse, it now appears,heaped upon TINS
Democratic Administration, was not desiSned
10 benefit the People or the Government, tut 10
enrich and exalt juno OF Jacoblns.
The impetus given the Democratic cause by
the vetoes, is now exhausted, In consequence
of the wicked assaults on the Administration by
the cormorant Jacobins. II could not be other
wise. All parties acknowledged that the acts oil
Mr.. Tyler produced the successful rally OF the
Democratic party in 1912 and lS43-all must
acknowledge thatthe cause Of success must now
cease to operate since the Jacobins usup the reIns
of the party and direct its forces 10 assaults on
the Executive This is an inevitable result. The
Democratic party under its old leaders, and ITS
old managers, must sink back in 1914 into its
PROSTATE condition of 1910.
That the contrivers of this mischief, knew
that it would come 10 pass, aud yet deliberately
pursued their selfish policy, unmndful of the
fate of their party, we relgiously believe They
have no principles but those which will produce
them the greatest amount of plunder and no
scuples in the attainment Of it. The man who
will give them the most patronage and power
is the one they will have for their leader; and
they would as willingly see an opponent ex'
allied to the Presidency an honest and co'isct
sntious member of their own party. Unprincipled
and unscrupulous themselves, their constant ann
is to degrade party men TO their own standard, sc
that they may use them forever as vassals and
slaves Nor is it unreasonable that they should
entertain such hope, since we have seen them
in time past with the view of realizing brilliant
rewards, calling upon Democratic members OF
Congress to elevate Messrs. Adams and Clay
to the exclusion of Gen. Jackson and, being
disappointed in their expectations, we now see
them, clothed in the vestments of authority
leading the charge against those who refused &c
pay them the thirty pieces of silver for their un
solicited ueachery :! Messrs. Adams and Clay
are denounced by the traitors for enjoying I'M
consciously the fruits of their lreason-and those
identical traitors are now made the leaders and
managers OF the Democratic party !!
The Democracy, under such leaders, NAV
make the most Of the notorious "bargain and
corruption which their leaders strove 10 con
summate for the benefit Of Messrs. Adams anC
Clay.
