speak the sentiments Of the Wing party Of the city,

are made the organs OF tnis clique, have brought
about all the mischief that they are to be permitted
10 accomplish. They have forced several improper
and injudicious appointments on the Governor, and

interference Of MIR Tallmadge, he would have been
consraacd by their advice to acts of irrcdeemable
folly. The position Of Mr. Il in this matter, is very
