oPINIoN-IN THE WEST.


We caution the public to put little trust in those
quotations from few western papers, which are
ten,atiousy bazoned in the Jackson print in this city

and The shameless and instantaneous abandonment of
tie very principles upon which they first supported

both duped and injured them. This conclusion is
confirmed by all the indications, except those furnish
