But short week since this same journal framed the
atrocous plan of beginning an insunscton by coun-
selling the merchants to disebey the laws OF the land.
1t boldly and daringly before this community,
and actually advised the public not eny to resist The
execution of the laws, but by mysterious hints and
ominous inuendoes insugated the assassin to GO TO
Washington and bury his poignard in the breastc the
President This same paper and its clique met IN Ma
sonic Hall-passed series of insurrecuonary and
ridiculous resolutions appointed committee to go
10 Washington, and confined the same strain OF aslta-
,ion and and incipent revolution, until II saw ano-
rher party take the field the madness and
folly of the merchants by similar folly and equal mad
ness in the rabble.
Not content with these Infamous ayowals and
courses some Of the clique of this Journal actually bnt
indirectly proposed the formation OF body OF loOO0
of committee TO march to Washington and destroy
The government at once, because spectators and mer
chants had failed in business and coald not pay their
debts.
Yet in the face of these incensiary appeals-these
atrocous propositions-these wicked and unpnnclped
attempts at insurrection the clique of the Cou.

oftAe present rerulsion and ruin stalking the

ayarce ambition, carried 10 culpable excess, are the
origin and founlar of the terrible disasters over

came before the world and tempted one party with
officss-Nchoas BdJle the other with breeches
pocket loans of $4,000 each. These the !" in
sane roots" which the two master sprs-the two
grand magicans made the people eat, and thus
ed the mania Of the times. For six years. the whole
country has been in a continual agitation under the
influences of these two great men, Like the two
principles Of the ancient Persian religion these rivals
for power have convused the world from centre
10 circumference. Not only is the United States
pasping under the excitement of their contests but
the blow reaches 70 the centre of the civilized world
even across waste Of waters 10 another continent
The whole world is standing aghast and waiting for
the issue OF the present war carried on between
two parties in the United States-the one headed by
Van Buren, the other by Bddle.

blockheads in Wall street at s52 767, bunch whis
kers and old clothes incuded-when he contracted
and expanded his loans without order or science
when he set the whole opposition machine in motion
he was contributing much to tempt and to DESTROY
our merchants, his rival and competitor at Albany
or Washington Even the present revulson might
have been moderated, but for the pernicous influence
of both these great men and greater charatans In
