SPIRIT OF THE OPPOSITION.

Baltimore Republican, one ofthe leading Jack
son prints, an article, which Of all Others tina,
80 have thus far read, is the most ridiculous
md cannot fail to excite the mernment oi
The fliends Of the Administration, whilst il must
,all b,,,sh 70 the cheek Of tlsosc who have
enlisted in the ranks Of the Opposition. But
as the article is a rare curiosity, and as 1t may
.foId the reader a moments amusement, We
aa,u proceed to copy it, 10 which We shall add
; few incidental remarks:
"h cannot ne disguised, and little reHec-
ron will make n apparent to all, that the next
election must engage the People, of this coun-
;ry in a struggle, AS rREMENDoUs in its pros
ecution, as in0inentous in Its consequences
The SEA Of LIBERTY is already agitated, und
mast become tempcstuous ere the present Coo
fifinn-SLooDs of CORRUPTION subside: for
Ne hold that no contest since that OF the Revo-
iutioD, involved principles Of such Importance
results of such ma gnitude to the friends OF tree
government, not only in America, but through
out the world No Administration in The an
nails Of this country, and but few in those Of
the old, corrupt nations OF Europe, betrayed
more oBoURAcY IN GULLY, more lnsensibiiny
10 iNr,Mv. than that which stamps the char
meter ot the present Coalition. UsURPERs in
power, TyRANrs in practice, the brave and
tie patriotic--,oo honest to be bought, too firm
TO 5c ovcrawed-are HURLED from place, and
driven into EXILE. Confemncrs Of public
opinion, promoters Of political JUGGLING, the
venal are nnIBED, and the firm are PRoscRIB-
ED. Reckless in their career, DAsTARpLY
in their attacks, a Senator is dragged to the
field 70 be shot; defencclcss woman, virtuous
and pious woman, is assailcd with the FURY
ola DEMON, is hunted down with the RAPACI-
Ty OF a BLOODHOUND. Just Heaven! the
heart sickens at the recital. % Booty'-in

5oarneys undertaken, public business neglect

up, and the good People edited with political
speeches 30 bI;ndfold their intelligence, and
Ihl their vigilance into everlasting slumber.-
Public servants the Peoples masters, the
TREASURY pErRAupEp by the allowance Of
Unjust accounts, by bestowing emo'ument on
Official droncs, and by creating sINEcURKs

re amused with the image Of freedom, the
rrspc forms of free institutions, while they rob
.hem Of their rights In destroying the spirit OF
l,,er.y, and thus bow down their necks to the
YoxE Of DBsporIsM. The Peoples will de-

m,tured--let President be once more foisted
on the fseelnen Of America let the syren notes

the People to fatal repose, wHEEDLE them
