 This new friend of the administration, which the National lntelgencer introduces to the public gives the gO-by to the principles avowed and acted on by the late and present administrations and reverts to the Mddisonan era for a salyo for the disorder he depicts The public cannot fail to understand this It is known that MT.

In Turkey you would have both lost your heads lono ago-in Russia you would have been sent to Siberia, and m England hanged.

 The Steubenville (Ohio) Gazette heads an article on the address of the Albany Republican Committee -" Highly important, the Specie Humbug abandon ed by the administration and good times coming."- On the strength of this the Gazette appeals to the Tory convention that assembled at Bloomfeld-whch, as it appears, unguardedly denounced banks and de- clared itsefin favor of the exclusive metallic cy. If the enemies of the past and present adminis- tration have srepresented their views in the cy have the friends ofthese administrations been most grossly deceived for it appears that they have been still more efficient in their misrepresentation.
