principles they contend for in the impending polit
cal crisis, and ofrenewing their pledges of support
and appreciation of the measures and policy OF the
general government, and of the able and patriotic
statesmen who administer it. In reviewing the origin
of this contest and IN tracing its progress up to the
present moment, no single circumstance presents it.
self to shake or disturb the satisfaction which is in
spired by CONSEQUENCES of pure motives and Of
being engaged in just and honorable cause. The
opposition to the present administration was origi
mated by certain ambitious political leaders, disap-
pointed in their views fpersonal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
by the failure of their particular candidates; and
who awaiting themselves of the honest prejudlces
of large portion of the people in favour OF a
fortunate soldier, have turned their pre]udlces to
their own account, and made them the instruments
by which they hope to ride into poUer and place.
They have constituted themselves Combinations

istration be its measures right or wrong" Re.
, versing the republican principle, :" measures moi
men," they have proved themselves ready to
sacrifice measures principles and the interests o.
their country, to their devotion for their idol ane
their own personal interests. Against such Com
bnation of ambitious spirits and of vicious princi-
pies, we are proud 10 contend. We feel that in op
posing their preeniions, and in rallyng around al
administration which has thus far discharged It's du
tiles wisely, prosperously and with faithful regart

triumph would, we believe be triumph over thu
liberties of our country. We contend for the su
