country took instant alarm, and the political 5
complexion of this body was changed as soon Us
possible. The same power, though double III
means and strength, is nov doing tho same
thing. This IS the array OF power that even

moving against the slave, as they formerly did
against the Bank power. IT, too, begins TO tremDle

different interests foi some time past; informed
my private friends of the political party with
which have heretofore acted, during the first
week Of this session, that these powers were
forming a union to overthrow the present Ad-
minisiraton; and warned them of the folly
and mischief they were doing in their abuse Of
those who were opposed TO slavery. All doubts

moves have taken place on the political chos-
board, and new coalitions arc formed,
promises and new bargains, settling and d;sPos-
