second election Of the party in power e
Office, is proof of its purity. In oui
minds, il is exactly the reverse. It i, the
most unpromising symptom of our politi.
cal disease, and that the influence of the
party IS become dangerous; and, would to
COP, we could not with truth say it, i,
is full confirmation Of all we have 'k;ther-
to advanced, and no less full an accom-.
plishment of the views and designs we long
ago attributed to it. It is a. proof that the

allowed to be necessary TO the perman ent
safety of a nation is crushed, its energies
extingaished by tyranny and oppression,
its wings piuioned, and It's limbs clipped
and chain-bound.

Abeicry against Cain.--1'he same ear
hears, and Will heed the voice of the OPP
pressed federalists crying out against the
wicked deeds committed against them
selves & the country which they saved from
British ministerial tyranny. But can the
people OF this immense continent hear them
though they were to pronounce it in voice
like thunder, their protests against sys.
tenn which adeceived people admire as g00d
while it is working their ruin.
