certain. and tho friends Of the Administrs-
.ion may reasonably anticipate more de-
cisive triumph in the Presidential election
when The popular suffrage will converge to
n single question. Coming events cast
their shadows :,efore them; and think The
signs Of the times cannot we'll be mistaken
and that is. tl,a. the party which processes
