HELPING BOTH SIDES.
The Georgia journal has the following as to the free
| sellers in attempting to cheat the people -
"Al Of our readers remember how our opponents
rang the changes of Bargain and Corruption against
MIR clay in years past. They charged upon him,
out Of the right Of suffrage because he and Mr. Adams
both opposed General Jackson and thereby threw the
election Of President into the House Of Representa-
tves. Strange to cay, the very men who made these
charges against Mr. Clay now endeavoring to play
off the game in regard to General Cass and Mr.
Van Buren,. Their sole object in running MIR. Van
Buren, at the North is to defeat General Taylor before
the people. II they can get the election into the

not to cheat the people at any time to obtain It,"

warmly discussing the comparative merits of Van
Buren, and Cass, at the American, day or two ago,

burner, take away the first letter of his name, and

THE TWO THIRDS RULE.
From the speech of Mr. J. NJ Clayton in the Senate,
"They thus rel ected Mr.. Van Buren,; and what has
been the result? This political magician, as he was
called has applied his magic touch to your party, and,

his feet at this moment. The splendid party fabric
erected in the Empire State, has vanished like the
| morning mist one of those dreamy mansions Of

dfrauded and defeated, equals that of Mazeppa, the
