A PROBLEM SOLVED FOR THE WINGS:

shall We account for thisi We have charged the
democratic Administration with every odious
crime which can bring a Government into Cis-

charged the Executive with prescription for opin-
ous sake; lyrannIcal oppression Of individuals;
an unrelentmg war upon the honest banks, the
sound currency, and the business and best inter

signs against the happiness and liberties OF the
people. These grave and terrible accusations
have not wanted the greatest talent, directing The
most powerful machinery, TO impress them on
the public mind. All The great men Of the coun

Federal party now looks TO a single and splendid
Government, Of an aristocrGcy, founded on bank

Of manufactures, commerce, and navigation, nd

beggared yeomanry. This viii be 10 them a
