1.-The Enquirer has been dreaming with its ewes open
nuf that;
head OF the worthy editor' Who so traorous to his
country as to propose to himself such thing even in
thoughH Who is there that would dsgracefullv aban
don cause TO which he attracted by conviction
that the interest and character the country
cnange oil administration and that Henry CLAW was
Tue Individual best calculated under all circumstances
to bring back the Government to that lofty and liberal
course from which had strayed far away, Abandon
ms banners Give up the ship! What deluison has
possessed the Enquirer TO suppose that any pretend
ing act from principle, would thus desert his coors
and IKE the Numidian horse, go over i'm the midst of
conflict to the other side?
"But the Enquirer, reused from its DRAM ~ e,,..
security, now sees Alright The friends of Mr. CLAW
the friends in other words of the Constitution and In,
stituons of the country, do mean oto push an % viii
all their force and with all their ZEAL but with as little
oil the "storm" as practicable, although not without ac
comPanying gales. The Enquirer may prepare itself
Tor the contest and assurances from every quarter
are to be relied upon, for defeat which, is hoped that
veteran journal has by this time learned enough of
philosophy to hear with composure. We only wish
that the incumbent would withdraw from the canvass
and leave clear field for the younger candidates.
