FHE RIGHT SPIRIT.--No article, of
tical character, that we have seen
long time, has given US greater
Psure, than the leading editorial OF the
ton Atlas, of Thursday last. 1t is
ply known that tae Atlas speaks the
ntiments of Mr.. WEBsTEa's friends.
d what it says, may, therefore, be con-
9ered as little short of an authorized
OPPOSITION of their views. Under the
1ption 1.-The course of Massachusetts,
lie editors of the Atlas have at once JUS

fom which, safe 10 her own impreg-

entitled, will she hesitate ia pursuing
course consistent with her true hon
and past profession That she is
kelly 10 hold The balance Of power, is
anifeat in the anxiety Of the admins
iation to win her over. The coarse

pledge that she viH exercise the

aptabse to the great Wing party
throughout the country. Should the
Residential election be carried TO the
House, il would be libel on the char.
Eter Of our STATE to suppose tina, in
by contingency, she can bestow her
vple on the individual pledged TO fol-
pw in the footsteps Of General Jacks

There is great similarity in the his.

BURR, with immense superiority Of mind
yer Van Buren,, managed to carry all
Is plans into execution until he com
enced intriguing and manag ing for the
Presidency, and Then he fell and never
