be guessed at, but not truly known at present and
every true friend of his country ought TO seek The
right and that pursue regardless Of the admonitons Of
selfish, Interested men, the of partisan pot
clans This is the position have found myself placed
in for the last year. Though have acted with the pre-
sent Wing party since its orsanzaton have never fully
agreed with them many leading points their creed,
in particular the subject Of the currency, and the
dcpos:tcs Of the revenues have Looked with a
Jealous eve on our great banking Institutions pow

macy, if they could not be checked and although
then believed the mode which Gen Jackson pursued
was nudicious and oppressive to the people, am now
satisfied that was the only crctual remedy for most
desperate disease and the great cry OF the CPpo-
son on the subject of the dcrangcd currency, III re-
atty nothing, but the convulslve struggles of the dy
ing Hydru. This conclusion have come to after 4
careful examination into the principles and measures

the old General paid visit two years ago, which
did not result in increasing his popularity; and many
of his warm friends forced to acknowledge that
little was left but the relic of age gone by; and his
speeches arc an apt illustration Of Goldsmith Old Sol

be close election. In old Portage, the Wings have
pledged themselves to give iorty of 600. My own
opinion is that il will not be 800 wifi all their exer

are making arrangements for thorough organization
