It flinders Ihe mom falsehood upon which they have relied against ld Tippecanoe, beaten at all points, upon all subjects of national concern unable to defend the abuses and usurpations, to jut lifr or excuse the prodieality pr.mitrufe.ol the Administration, they sought lo merge the great contest for principle and Repub licanism in an atrocious warfare against the personal character uf Gen.

These and like items, all a monnting to the tame thing, constituted Ihe last prop of the Fed. For the last two months they have dwelt upon it 'and scarcely nothing else; lit their paper', ,heir letters, their toasts, and their public and private harangue..
