OF this article, so very remarkable from the coin
cilence of tlme and circumstances occurring here,
the intelligent reader will need no analysis. There
are one or two prominent points in it, however, to
which it may savc him some trouble to direct his
/ attention.
What we shall first remark is that the editor Of
