Washington Madlsonian and the New York
Times, are among the very ables, papers IN
this or any ether country. They assail the
administration with an energy that makes II
totter like drunken giant We csPy from
the Times the following strong article
which will be read with appreciation by
every friend Of the country.
Our Country and cur Party.
Bishop Burnett relates oil Crsnner, that .
before he took the oath TO the pope US Arch .
bishop of Canterbury; be made profess l
ion that he did not thereby intend ~ restrain .
himself from auy thing he was bound to-
either by bis duty to God, the king or the
country, that he renowned every thing IN
! 1t ,hs, was contrary TO any ofthese.
This worthy and noble example OF moral
purity and dlsluleres,edness has been ex'
ampled, under Iyiug circumstances, by that
Spartan band OF the unchanged democratic
republicans called the Conservatives, TO
when the honor and the merit OF fescuiug
our republican Institutions irow the jaws OF
an impending despslism belongs, aud IS
generally accorded. Ia their oath OF party
allegiance, they made the moral reservation,
that they we're no, 10 be required so restrain
themselves from any thing that they were
bound To do either BY their duty 10 Coo, 10
the republican institutions Of our ancestors
and to their country. They renounced es
cry thin. in subssrsIency TO party, which
VAS contrary TO any Of these. THIS high
moral courage and unloading patriotism
and integrity, were peculiarly demanded
By the bold and rapid strides which an
audscious sy stem OF ~ ranny was making 10
wards establishing, N perpetual aseendan
cy, an absolute despoilsm over tine people
Of these States. When Mr.. Nan Buren,
and those who had been placed IN po"ef
By the republicans, for the purpose Of al
ninisteriag 10 purity the use institutions
of government founded b. the fathers 81 on'
coHntry's freedom, conceived the wicked
design Of be,rayiag aud oyerluning The
