is drawing the very vitals of the country Inv,
the indemnify, and her half duties, which in ,
shor, time will reduce Hayli to a more CO..,

Another letter, from the same place, unae,

Presidential Question.-No state in the Union
is so calm and determined on this question as
the State Of New-York. The republican party.
which has now its proper ascendancy in this
state, is looking with argus eyes upon the move
ments OF the powers that be, and also upon the
motions and motives of those who are DESTROYS
Of a radical change, and Of placing other per.
sons in the same" Miei authority" This patty
having in view neither more nor less than the
preservation and advancement Of those rights
and privileges which have so long diffused hap.

look upon this state as the pivot on which the
next election Of President wilturn Whenever
any of the politicians Of other states are about
to make calculations upon the probable result, Of
that election, their first item on the balance Of

wards the EXPIRE sson Of any opinion upon the
subject. This party, when it advances, will
move in solid phalanx. Having cautiously
decided upon the proper and most expedient
course, every movement will be directed to its
progression. And that candidate will receive
the SURFACES of this party, whose principles
most strictly correspond with the principles of
him who was the founder OF our republic, and
OF him also, who was the father OF our consli-
tuition.
