hottest Of the fray the closely contested election
which we have just passed through. They were
among the most gallant champions OF the RePublcan
cause in the State. They have defended Mr. Van
Buren, against the ISLANDERS OF the Wings, win an
energy and power which have commanded the add

does 1t now become US, or any Repuohcan
press, TO wound their feelings by an unne-

His friends solemny protest against any such design
Is it then right for any friend of MIR. Van Buren, to
compensate them for their hercsm, by an unnecessa'

wise IN us to ALLEVIATE men who have faithfully CO
operated with usaDd who are SO necessary TO us IN
the great battle which is approachng-w the
Wings are banded together like many rabd wolves

their pride will permit them to stand by those whose
metropolitan press is striking at j. Z. Calhoun! We

dare not tell the Globe all that heard upon the
subject-ior should have TO speak within the
hearing OF an artful and cunning enemy. We con-

We leave the subject in their own hands. Again, we
must say If things so they have gone for ten
days past, our party must be beaten, and Henry Clay
be ell cted dictator of the Republic.
