Piles asserted by that enemy, TO deluge in the
bloody horrors Of intestine war, this happy
land Let it not be said We paint too wildly |;
We have in our columns to-day copied an arti-
Gle embracing such sentiments. These coarse
rawlings of satanic spirit of faction, which we
will compare to the growing OF Gagged tiger,
may excite abkorrence and detestation, but can
neither concliate friends or in,inisiatc enemies.
We hate such principles bat, much as we hate
them, had rather hear them xvowed than know
them to be concealed.
Vice is a monster of 40 frightful mieu,

that Massachusetts wiihdraws herself from
all participation in the tpar, and declares her

very full. 1t is also said that the 4, gash pri

Cancellation with fh1s country. We refrain
from any remarks upon this important affair,
