The danger nor yet over.

ne warnings OF the Morning Chronicle
the correspondence Of Casss.-have lust
come in time to rouse us from the apathy
into which we were sinking. If the Prcsi-
dent OF the u. States should want incite-

assemble to doze upon their seats; let them

us remember too, that at the very moment

the imbecility of the other, will reproduce
