VIEWS OF THE OPPOSITION.
The following is the address Issued a, Washington
a, the close ofthe late session of Congress- alluded
in our last paper.
To the People Of the United States.
Recent occurrences. manifesting not mere
ly the future prospects, but the present cer-
tainity, of the wide division among the party
which has hitherto supported General Jack
sons Administration, are too important not to-
awaken great degree of attention. They

lie. The Vice Presidents late publication
was but the ebultion Of n political ferment,
well known to have been secretly long at

could act long in harmony; il the highest
notes of Consolidation and the lowest grum-

In unison; if the Tariff and Modification
