"ln addition TO what has already been dis.

who pretended TO know, but who could not, it
appears, keep the secrets Of his party, that they

1t is most sinister state Of things Which this
paragraph describes-so mons,rous, indeed.
that we do not yield to il an easy faith. 1.-THE
fact can be proved which is alluded TO in the
above, and Of which faint rumors have before

Coalition, corruption. &c. properly belong.
Let US not be supposed to charge these thingj
on the body Of he friends Of General Jackson.
Most oil them are TOO honest and direct in their
political purposes to resort to such means as
these to sustain the claims Of their candidate.
II is only veteran traders in politics, who could
con,rive such plan for substituting the press,
where j, is venal, and breaking it down where
it cannot be seduced. We mistake 'the signs

Jackson do not in time find that they have sui.
