TIE ORGANS OF THE DYING.
We copy several extra cts from wing pa
pers this week, to show the spirit in which
they take their defeat. Never have we
seen such raving, such moaning, such
cracking, such unmanly despondency.-
They seem to look on Henry Clay as
standing astrde of the Republic, and hold
ing il up in his hands, and now that he
and his detestabIe policy arc stricken down,
they predict the most awful calamities. 1t
would be difficult TO tell which, they or the
Mi!erites, are now the craziest. They
are circulating the most stupid lies about
the fall of prices in stocks, produce, and
property. We have no doubt many of
them believe these things, for most Of them
arc more silly than corrupt, just such nice
young men as might lie drained with my
lady's fam"
1t is maxim deeply englayen on the
hearts Of all true Americans, "Never
despair of the Republic, "-and the mis-.
creant who despairs of it is unfit to possess
the privileges of a freeman. The most
infamous thing Of the kind we have seen
is the following from the Richmond Wing.
He and the aristocra's Of Europe seem TO
lie precisely Of the same opinion:
"If J. X. Polk prevails over Henry Clay
the WIG PARTY Is NO MORE! A
remnant will continue 10 struggle for It's
plncipIes-the only principles which can
preserve the Constitution, order and pros
pelity--but their efforts will be hopeless
and unavaiIing, Let us not, at 50 serious
a moment, conceal the trulh--Iet us not
disguise any thing from ourselves or each
other. IFe MNSi cOnqHer nor! or cease to
hope to resist successfully the elements Of
disorder, ruin and anarchy which menace

"On the other hand, il is like manner

beat them now, their patty is dSbanded

rEneOy, FRANKLIN AND MADISON! Never
did any Republic aud never will, the spi'

efforts, until Cesar besIrode the liberties
of his country, and Cato was buried be-
meath their ruins! THIS Is THE FATE
OF FREE GOVERNMENTS! The pre-.
destined, the inevitable fate! But public
virtue can postpone the cay Of the sad
consumma,on!
" To postpone ito preserve as long
