late war who, short time since, in hold
ing forth TO a congregation somewhere III
Indiana, and feeling it his duty TO minister
TO their temporal as well as their spiritual
welfare, and knowing some Of his hearers
were supporters of Mr.. Van Buren,, he hit
upon the following cxpedent. lie car
neslly prayed for the welfare Of the whole
human race, and that "God would in his
mercy direct the American people TO Sc
lect for the chief magistracy of these Uni
ted States, one who was

A merican in principle,

CRAFTY his malice for individuals"
To which there was ieryid and unani-
nous response Of g Amen"

as men can be Of any future event: aud yet
this IS a CITY which was friendly to Mr..
CLAW from the start, aud which did not re-
ceyc the nomination, ut first, with enthu-
slasm. The operations Of trade and tue
currency are efectlng a revolution, il Is
impossible 10 resist by any combination Of
