Concluding this branch OF orr remarks, we take
leave TO observe, that though we discover 10 insr
ground for an oIganized opposition TO the nresent Al
'niusraon whilst VIC hinK we perceive that sncI an
opposition has had refnicos, though possibly also
some beneficial eflecs-we have been as prudent as
the Advocate wishes its friends in Albany 10 be in
avoiding ''Comnittan at this early dav Our ,vbcls
object, In opening this subject all is hope that tl,o
sort of intrigue which evidently on foot to take The
election from the common sense of tie People, and
dispose or II by 'copCerraiOn," and coordination ),
and 'festoraton" may be defeated. 1t is sufficient
argument against the claims OF any citizen to tic Pre-
Sdency however eminent or highly gifted, ia he or
ms friends, attempt 10 gam the prize by ndscrcon and
sFatage,n instead of nagnanmou,y appealing for il TO
the public voice.
