THE MADISONIAN.

The Madisonian, the organ Of the late Admin
stration, raises the cry of prescription against
President Polk, dpnonnces the Globe, and in
Il word seems to br moving of, man and baggage.

"The removals made on Saturday and o-dav,

Was the like ever seen in print before We

has so lived as to be able to die like great man,
and not as an idiot) would expire, upon hearing
of the removal of Maj. Lewis!--

the republican doctrines? We are as much op-
