mighty cataract OF popular opinion in The empire
State has overwhelmed all the barriers which party
machinery" had attempted erect against its natu-
raj current, and its force comes indeed like the
numbering food Of Niagara. The abandonment OF
the great interests Of the mighty empire OF New
York. for the corrupt partizan support OF Calhoun
Nulli6caon--the analhemas hurled against indie
pendent freemen from the tripods of official despot-

crimnate and everlasting overthrow" of the Van

and free conscience now overtaken and van
ouished-and the reribution, however severe, is
most abundantly deserved We hank the freemen
of New York most heartily for the proud achieve
ments of their true and gallant conduct.
