Among the first business of Congress, then


 ized the contest of lS10
 It was in the Capitol, on whose portieo Justice stood with broken arm, and the Constitution nj her feet, in the Senate Cham Der, where the American Eagle stretched his wings as if in vain looking for the glorious motto which he was commissioned to uphold, with mourning weeds upon their arms and the insignia of their Chambers covered with black, that the Wings met, as the people thought, to perform the promises made to them in lS40.
 Instead of taking warning from the signs around, that party ln Congress proceeded, deliberately and systematically, under the lead of Mir Clay, to alsiiy every promise they mad made, and reverse ill their acts every profession they had uttered.
 They had promised to reduce the public | expenditures and pay of the public debt
 Instead of doing so, they enlarged the ex- penditures, increased the debt, gare array the land money, laid additional burdens on the people, and in few months after their accession to power had destroyed the credit of the Government so eilectually that not a dollar could be borrowed; its obligations were dishonored and protested, and mulhtudes oI public creditors remained unpaid
 They passed Bankrupt Law so odlous to the people that they were obliged to repeal il themseves--not, however, untl after mit- lions of dcbt lad been wipcd out aS 'c'h c sponge.
 Although they had rcpudiated a Bank in the contest, they passed bill establishing one, maintaining that it was the leading Whig measure, and denounced Mr. Tyler us a ren- egade and a traitor because he refused te lal- sily the professions of his whole life by atilX- ing his approval to the act
 Instead of the revival of confidence and the increase of wages predicted and promis- ed as the immediate result of Whig measures, whatever of confidence was left disappeared, wages fell still lower, the country was strew- ed with the ruins of broken banks, and nev- CT, since the adoption of the Constitution, was commerce so prostrate and labor so ill requited.
 Crimes, unprecedented in number and un- equalled in atrocty, filled every section of our country with horrors, exhibiting a har- dened barbarty in their details, only to be ex- ceeded in the bosoms of demons from the burning pit
 President Tyler has been the willing asso- ciate and benGeary of the profigaie band who sought power by the concealment of principle and the prosHatlon of order and morals in 1840. Ii was but the order of Pro vidence that those who had obtained eeva- ton by wicked means should become the in- struments to punish each other Their mu- tual crimination and rccriminaton, unjust and malignant on the part of the Wings as they l l. ,t.I 10 latxt of Ip moral world which makes protligacy the victim of it's own instruments.
 The fatality which attended Genera lIlar- rison has otiailed to pursue his associate upon the Ticket of l8i0-a TTppccanoe and Tyler too''
 True, he has not shared the fate of that asso- ciate but theauows ofdeath have been thrown thick around him, and have in quick success sion struck down those who were nearest his heart and strongest in his confidence.
 The wife of his bosom was snatehed from 1 him in the midst of his honors.
 He visited the north i'll company with his l Cabinet, and at Boston the gifted Legare was suddenly arrested by disease and hurried be- yond .sihat bourne whence no traveller re- turns"
 He went 10 take a pleasure trip to the steam CT Princeton, when in moment two mem bers of his cabinet (the amiable Gimer and the estmable Upsher) were launched into eternity.

 Within three years a President, Pres'- deat's Wifc, and halfa Cabinet have gone from time to eternity.
 The great Financier who for years furnish ed means to base instrun ents from the vaults of mammoth Bank, and by corruption and conspiracy aided in producing the panic of 1833-'34, crime equal in atrocity to robbery and arson, has lately perished most miserably by the disease with which Heaven punished ancient IIerod, disease too shocking fol description.
 All these events so remarkable and so start
 ling, indicating Heavens dispeasure against the entire Whig progeny of lS10, appear te have no effect on the minds of thier infatuated leaders.
 { The Cabin and the Coon, the demoralzng gatherings and senseless iavIngs, the stero- typed lies and wandering blackguards o lS10, are again put in requisition to finish the depravation of 1874.
 f Recently at New Orleans, i'll the midst o a Clay Meeting, two of the Managers, Mr. L c. Hornby and MT. D II. Twogood, had | misunderstanding about some trivial matter , when the former knocked the latter down [ and stamping upon his head and breast witl such feroctiy as to deprive him of life. Ye the mortal injury of one of their principle [ men did not stop the proceedings of the as sembled crowd.
 The Sa65aM witnessed a military parade , attended by Henry Clay, with banners dis played and music playing, marching, with shouts through the streets of New-orleans drowning with their noise the trumpet ef ht } Gospel, and compelling worshlpplng congre' cations to break up and dlsperse. l Ihe .Sabbah also witnesses the same Whis leader arriving at Mobile amid the shouts O
