torrent which has not ceased yet, sir-a torrent
which not him only but those who advocate b's
cause, have had TO bear; for now, sir in the
streets Of this city, myself have been laughed and
scofed at-and by whom by whom say. by
the Representatives of the People Of the United
States; by men sent to legisate for the yeomanry
and the constituency Of the country men, sir, who

The friends of Mr. Clay imagine that he is the all
absorbing candidate. But the post on Of Mr. Tyler

There's no time to be lost If the Democrats wish
TO heal the breach, and take the only who can
safely oppose Henry Clay, the time is now. say it,
and feel it t. be true John Tyler is the friend to the
