not calculated correctly upon the great ac-

scarcely recollsct, although It is so frequent-

three years been industriousIy engaged nto

under the iniunctions Of the heads Of de-
partment, and seconded and sanctioned
BY the express legislation Of the Sem

recollected that the Senate, not long since,
by its vote, declared that ii " as praisewortlly
in the officers Of Government, in view of
popular elections, to promote the success eff
the administration BY any means in their
power. We seem almost to have forgotten
the vast influence Of the hope of reward and
the fear Of punishment, uttered forth through
the length and breadth Of the Nation, ihro,
the sixty thousand agents, host Of editors,
demagogues and an almost endless train Of
partizans distributed all over the country.
Sirs, the people the single handed, the I'M
paid, unbought, nnpensioned, uncommis-
stoned people, have got to see and appre-
ciate this immense odds against those before

own mighty power TO save the country. The
evil has not extended far enough--there has
not been mischief enough yet done. it seems,
to arouse the yeomanry from their quietude
to vigorous assertion and maintenance Of
their rights.
But we have no fears of the result of all
this matter. No! thank God and our country,
we have not the slightest fear. We have
the same confidence in the final success Of
the wing cause, and the utter destruction Of
Sub Treasury Locofocoism,as we have in the
stability of moral virtue and the perpetnity
of christianity in christian land. We know
that our cause win triumph, because it is po-
itical morality contending with political
corruption. We know that we must sue
coed, because ii is impossible that money
and official influence can finally triumph
over people who have, even in q very mo-
derate degrees conception and proper APP
probation Of civil liberty.
We may be beaten for seoson. We may
be discounted here and routed yonder. The
Sub Treasury Bill may disgrace the annals
of our National Legislation, foul blots may
Isoil the escutcheon Of liberty, and the Ma.
