the fascinating suise of truth, il has been
owing TO defect in our vision, and not to
any promptings Of our heart. To tell
"the truth the whole truth, and nothing
bu, the truth, so help US God" is with US an
b.dln. oath, aud BY il IRE intend TO ab,de
unmoved by any promises or chances Of
personal emoumenl which a contrary
course might hold out, unneryed by the
opposition truth sometimes meets with,
un'ntiuenced by patronage, and unmoved
by dlctalIon, come from what source il may
and our determination TO pursue such q
course, ceases only with our existence.

Universe, and shape our actions 80 far "a

The language OF a celebrated hero, we
shrink from no responsibility which We

THc TRAIroR's PREsuMPTIoN.-The last Of
the Infamous acts Of the Presidential traitor
has been consumma,ed in the recall Of Gen.
Scot. from the command Of the army in Mex.
leo. This had been once attempted and then
the messenger was recalled from Richmond,
Virginia. But subsequently, the nfamy has
been copsumma.ed, and upon the inquiry Of
Mr. Crit,enden, Gen. Cass avowed that Gen.
Scott had been recalled and that Gen. Butler
would take the supreme command ofthe army
in Mexico. This attempt, on the part Of
James X. Polk and his puny minons, 10 dis
grace this grea. Captain will recoil upon The
Administration with stunning effect.
The Traitor President will be the title,
through all future time, of James K. Polk
He gave "aid and comfort" to the enemy in
giving them their best commander, and now
he aids and comforts them by recalling the
grea, commander who humbled the Mexican
arms directed by Folks chosen commander.
What other act will follow 10 the drama Of
the Presidential ,rai,o, remains to be SEEM
1t is humiis,irg to every American to see
such an Infamous man at the head Of affairs
!f there ever was man deserving of being
broke from his station, that man is James X.
Polk.
The evidence that he desires to prolong the
war accumnlaies hourly. No other motives
can actuate the man--judgng from review
Of his acts. He holds forth high sounding
professions OF love for freedom; bnt his acts
condemn him. If a betrayed country does
no, me,e out a full measure of Indignation up.
on the presumption of This piebald conclave CT
political pros,itn les, a, the head Of whom is
James X. Polk, it will no longer deserve even
the name of liberty.
