Presidential question" Passing over the fact that

we all know, Southern Wings were as anxious to
see Mr.. Clay nominated as they are now; and
then, we know, the North and West gave the
word of command, and the welldriIIed squadrons
went, without why or wherefore, for Tippe-

RECORDER, with all his affected horror of military
cheftans, was seen in the front ranks of Federal
