The garrison accordingly marched out
with the gallant Brown AZ their bead. and
drove the enemy from their batteries with
dreadful slaughter, and with Considerable
loss on their own side. Ripley. whilo

We trust that the people of this coun-
try who ere opposed TO the present Ad-
ministrAtion will not suffer themselves 20
be deluded with the notion that lie su6.
Treasury scheme is the chief or onlS
ground Of opposition. All-sufEicient rea.
son for change in the men and mea-
sures OF tie Government as that most
Objectionable scheme is in itself. we
apprehend that the strongest and most
prevailing objection 10 il arises from the
fact that IT is part and parcel OF series
OF measures which have been resoried TO

the party seemed to require. 10 increase
the already oyeFgrown power and patron

viewed IN this light aud not simply o. a
substitute for . national bank. that the
dangerous and anti.republiesn tendencies
Of the scheme most fully appear.
II is impossible 10 contemplate the sd-
vances already made by the Federal
Executive in power. patronage. and the
means Of corruption, in connection with
those now proposed, without having all
our jeslousies signally aroused. We
have been well warned by high authority
that in their scope is embraced every
measure which can affect the stability Of
the Union; the durability Of our republi-

Of our system; the rights Of tho States.

their escape across the Potomac were

opposite side OF the river. and same Of
them were seen 10 fall but TO what ex.
tent they were injured INV informant
