The Bitter End Opposition.
One of the most prominent leaders of the
Democratic party, declared upon the advent
70 the Presidency of John Quincy Adams,
that his Administration, though it was pure
ma the Angels in Heaven, should be put
down. By the vilest course ofslander abuse,
personal vituperation, and the grossest charges.
the oath was fulfled-the Administration |
was put down. The party machinery en-
ployed in this dirty work, was of the same
nature as that now being used against the
present Administration. That it was sue
cessful once, is no evidence that it will be sue
cessful again, or that it's past success was
founded upon Justice. The Adams Admin
istratlon is now admitted on all sides, and by
all parties. to have been quiet, peaccabIe and
upright, in all It's operations. In imitation o.
their warfare against it, Democracy has now
arraigued itself against Gen. Taylor and his
Cabinet. and declare N substance that though
this Administration be pure us Angels in
Heaven, they will putt down. If power
and will were synonymous. they doubtless
would put it down without any .delay-but
