have assigned, fellow citizens, as rea
son for the notorious fact, that the Wings car
only hope TO succeed during the occurrence
of feverses and panics, the fast and fond at
tachment which the American heart has eyeI
manifested, for the pure theory of Repnbli'
can institutions. But there are other and
more specific reasons for the present probable
disappointment of the ambition of the wings
II is because their prophecies have been
talsi6ed, their explanations of our disorders
refuted, and their far.iamed prescription, a
National Regulator, self confessed a quack.
Try, and abandoned. A National Regulator

that it could not remedy. Like the cauldroH
of Mcdea, and without the pain of the pro-
ress, il was assuredly to Tenovate, if only
once submitted to, the youthful vigor Of the
Republic. Was there defalcatIon IN the
iational revenue? Ia vain was it to urge,
that these things equally occurred while we

his sapient shoulders at your complaints, and
exclaim: 'syou have nothing but Yourself to

denly change has come over the spirit Of
their dream. The New York Convention
has decided that National Bank shall no

every uninitiated spectator, the whole party
rids itself Of the incumbrance, with as little
