We live IN strange times Let US look at what

can-But, il seems Van Burenism has fortified II in
The course of few months. Archie has been o.
b0tased for having served the people, in preference
to their master and his man. ODDS offence Is pre-
cisely the same-neher would bow down TO Van
Buren, and that thing in Richmond, with its " st.
ren principles." They were therefore not fit tor
the times. Obedience to these two creatures would
have saved them. SO much for honesty and inda'
pendcnce.
