Instead of taking warning by the signs around
that party in Congress, proceeded deliberately
and Systematically under the lead of Mr.. Clay,
10 falsify every promise they had uttered.
They had promised to reduce the public ex-
Penditures and pay off the public debt. Instead
of doing so, they enlarged the expenditures, in
creased the debt, gave away the land money, laid
additional burdens on the people, and in few
months after their accession to power had des-
troyed the credit Of the government so effectuay
that not dollar could be borrowed; its oblga-
tions were dishonored and protested, and multi
tudes ofpublic creditors remained unpaid.
They passeda Bankrupt Law, so odous TO the
people that they were obliged to repealit them
selves-not, however, until after millions of debt
had been wiped out as with a sponge.
Although they had repudiated bank in the
contest, they passed bill establishing one, main
tanning that it was the leading Wing measure, and
denounced Mr.. Tyler as a renegade and traitor,
because he refused to falsify the professions of
his whole life by alfixing his approval to the act.
Instead of the revival ofconfdence and the in
crease of wages, predicted and promised as the
result of the Wing measure, whatever of conf
dence was left, disappeared, wages fell still low
ken banks, and never, since the adoption of the
Constitution, was commerce so PROSTATE and la
Dor SO i'll requited.
Crimes, unprecedented in number & unequal
led in atrocity, filed every section of our contry
with horrors, exhibiting a hardened barbarity in
theirdetails only to be exceeded in the bosoms of
demons from the burning pit.
President Tyler had been the willing associ-
Ioto IL, ,p
sought power by the concealment of principle e
and the prostration of order and morals in 1910.
1t was but the order of Providence that those
who had obtained elevation by wicked means,
should become the instruments TO punish each
other. Their mutual elimination and recrimina-
ton, unjust and malignant on the part of the
Wings as they were, are TO be attributed to a
law of the moral world which makes profigacy
the victim of its own instruments
The fatality which attended General Harrison
has not failed to pursue his associate upon the
J, ticket of lS40-"Tppecono and Tyler too"
True, he has not shared the fate of that asso-
ciate; but the arrows of death have been thrown
thick around him, and have, in quick succession
Estruck down those who were nearest his hear
and strongest in his confidence.
The wife of his bosom was snatched from him
in the midst of his honors.
u He visited the north in company with his Cab
) met, and at Boston the gifted Legare was sud
denly arrested by disease and hurried beyond
"that bourne whence no traveller returns"
He went to take apleasure trip in the steamer
Princeton, when in moment two members o
the Cabinet (the amiable GiImer and the estima
bic Upshur) were launched into eternity.
: Thrice within three years has the funeral pro,
cesson moved from the Presidents house, the
last with FIVE CoFFINs in its train.
+: Within three years. President, Presidents
wife, and half Cabinet have gone from time tC
eternity.
+, The great fnahcier, who for years furnished
: means to base instruments from the vaults of ;
mammoth bank, and by corruption and conspira
cy aided in producing the panic of lS33-34, ;
crime equal in atrociy to robbery and arson, ha
I, lately perished most miserably by the disease
I with which Heaven punished ancient Herod,
disease too shocking for description.
: Allthese events, so remarkable and startling
indicting Heavens displeasure against the entire
: Wing progeny of 1910, appear to have no ef
feet on the minds of the infatuated leaders.
The Cabinet and the Coon, the demoralizin9
: gatherings and senseless rawlings, the stereotype
t again put in requishon to finish the deprivation
in 1914.
Recently in New Orleans, in the midst of {
t Clay Meeting two of the Managers, Mr.. L. c
: IIornby and MIR. d. II. Twogood, had a misun
S derstandng about some trivial matter, when the
: former knockedth latter down, and stamped up
!, on his head and breast with such forocity as tt
deprive him Of life Yet the mortal injury of one
of their principal men did not stop the proceed
: ings of the assembled crowd.
The Sabbath witnessed military parade, at
tended by Henry Clay, with banners displayed
and music playing, marching with shouts through
i the streets of New Orleans, drowning with thei
noise the trumpet of the gospel, and compelling
9 worslnpplng congregations to break up and dis
d peTse.
: The Sabbath also witnessed the same Whis
7 leader arriving at Mobile, amid the shouts of
congregated multitude, as if they supposed thu
n day was made for the worship of man rathe
than the alteration of their Maker.
y The crush of the Clay clubhouse at tRichmont
! by which one man lost his life and many were
manned, did not strike the devotees of that prof
: ligate politician as an evidence that Heave
n frowned on the fair rebulders Of the coon tenn
1t Piles.
: But what considerate, what religious, wha
s. moral man, can look back on these extraordinar
u events, and reflect on the strange coincidence
q they present, without being impressed with th
) belief that there is some connection between tn
/ means used to acquire power in 1910, now agai
J; put into requistion, and the fatality which seem
to pursue the administration it brought into exis
d tence. The falsehoods, follies, debaucherie
's then adopted, seem to have demoralized natur
n ITSELF and made their authors their principal vic
is Tins. The actors in those scenes have been ar
/ pointed 10 punish one another, and those VIII
come in contact with them seem to be involve
d in their calamties. This result, be it provider
tial or be it natural, should warn our people neV
