A PROPHET.

The Madisonian says that John Tyler or Henry
Clay will be the next President of the United
States. No doubt of it; and we should have
bowed with equal TO the prophetic spirit
of the Madisonian, bad it predicted that John
Jones or Henry Clay will be the next President.
The name of Tyler or of Jones having about as
much to do in fulfilling the prediction, as cipher
standing on the left of series of numerals has
to do with the amount they express.

Dr.. DvNoAN's SPEECHES Louisville
Journal says the DIR. should not forget when
using the language of bully, that well-pulled
nose sits upon his face, within one short inch OF
the mouth that utters such ridiculous bravado.
We advise the editor of the Cincinnati Mes
sage to leave off denouncing John Tyler. He
doesn't know whom he may have 10 support tor
the Presidency. "Hush, hush 70 said Scotch
parson to fellow whom he had heard abusing
the Devil, "you do not know into whose hants
you may fall"
1t also says that "the Wings made Mr. Tyler
what he is" That's not true. The Wings made
him Vice President; luck made him Pres-
dent and the Locofocos made him traitor"
"Here's letter from Mr.. Van Buren, upon
the subject of Texas" said Wing at the post
Office door the other morning. What ground
does he take :" exclaimed half dozen voices.
"He is against annexation," said the Wing.
Well, if the id little Dutchman is against
annexation, am against him. exclaimed a Lo-
cofoco. ''You may do as you please, but I'm for
| him and don't care what he's for" exclaimed
another Locofoco.-Louisuille Journal.

Hon. John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, has
published letter in the Dover Gazette explain
ing the reason why he voted against receiving
the Camp Chest Of General Washington when
presented to Congress few weeks ago by Mr..
Adams, at the request of Maryland gentleman.
He said he "looked upon the whole affair, from
beginning to end as one of the most ridiculous,
Pickwickian farces that he ever saw performed,
in Congress or out" Hale was the only member
who voted against it. We envy not his taste-

DEMOCRATIC SONG.

composed and dedicated to the First Ward Young
Hickory Club Of Rochester, by Member,
AR-"Spaikling and Blight"
Brilliant and bright, is the ffeemen'a fight,
For Liberty contendingi
Our cause SO true we'll thus pursue,
Unfinching and unbending;
Till hail the day, when Harry Clay,
Our Polk and Dallas meeting,
Shall quick return to his Ashland bourne,
From democrats Tetreating.
At poker and brag, when his elbows wag,
He boasts he can whip the nation;
Still we'll give him Polk, were he stout as an oak,
To crack his old Clay foundation.
He'll ache all DER, his bones so sore,
As tho he had taken pizen
For salt can't save, the political grave,
OF the mill-boy, and Frelinghuysen.
On pillar and crag, see the coonskin flag,
In tattered glory streaming,
While round its base, with mournful face,
Old Coons are madly screaming.
And chief of the clan, old gloomy Dan,
The mighty Marshfeld snorter,
Despsing the rigs of the cider wings,
Goes the death on the brandy and water.
There's poor Fillmore, whom Theodore
Has thrust aside so queerly.
Refuses to share the Governors Chair,
And why, appears too clearly;
For they're all used up, from coon to pup,
And Clay may rest contened
For he's ''nlcS cum GToIIS' at the old White House
To the wings it will not be rented.
They may sing and dance, but they've no chance,
Against our Polk and Dallas,
For very soon, their ''same old coon,n
Well swing hickory gallows;
He'll mourn and wall, and twist his tail,
His fate he'll soon diSkiUer,
For this corn-seang thief will be gnashing his teeth
On the banks of the Saline river
And when he's skinned and has slipped his wind,
To make him rot the faster,
Well bear him away TO the Temple of Clay,
Wrapped round with whig shinplaster
And on his tomb you'll read his doom,
sad and fearful warning,
His neck got noosed while robbing roost
One bright November morning.
Then fling on high, to the bright blue sky,
Our proud and spotless banner,
Our ship all right we hail the fight,
With brave boys we will man her.
With Captain Polk, and hearts of oak,
We'll make the tories craven;
And Dallas, too with his noble crew,
Will reach the destined haven.
Three cheers, huna! let it sound af,r
Three cheers! Our next election
Will send old Clay where he ought to stay,
On his farm, to plot deception
| Then three times three, for Tennessee,
| And three times three for Dallas,
| Under stripes and stars we wage our wars, q
Of the rights of freedom jealous

saw, in which he says:
81 am continually informed of your prepara

inmate the Mormons. One would suppose thai
you ought to rest satisfied with what you have
already done. The Mormon leaders, if they
ever resisted the law, have submitted 10 its au
thory. They have surrendered the public arms
and appear 10 be ready 10 do anything required
to make atonement for whatever wrong may
have been done. Since the assassination Of
their two principal leaders, under circumstances
we'll calculated TO inhame their passion, and
drive them to excuses for the purpose of re-
