menr on the rights OF the people.
W:ien the republican presses assailed
these with yisor, gand in many cases
with virule.c-, the persons IN power
rallied at the l:centiousness of the press
as certain lsgisaiors do now. But the
presses psevaiicd in the end, because
they were supported by the spirit of
liberty. 1. Is very grea. mistake in
those legislators if they imagine that

We owe it to justice to say, that, as
far as we can learn, our beloved Pre-
s'dent has, on the Bank estiop, not
departed from his old constitutional
opinions. We rejoice, nevertheless,
that the bill has~lsren, strangled in the
Senate. And Re msst hope, now the
question is decided, that no ill-temper
will be shewn % either side and that
nothing. will he1ddue to tester where
every thing ought TO be done to heal.
