meeting of the friendsof Reform, and ofthose
opposed to the administration of Martin Van

AS inevitably sure as ever the natural sun
illumined the green fields of this once happy
country, just SO sure is the political sun RI.
sing. The gloomand darkness thathas over.
spread the land for ten long years, is now
beginning to be dispelled by the bright and
cheering rays Of political sunshine. Selfish
politicians can no longer deceive and con.
trola free and independent people. They
havehadt their day--make way now for the
people and let them come. Yes. verify. they
have had their day. They have succeeded
beyond all expectation in quilting the people
and keeping themselves in power and in mo-
ney. They haveruled with an iron roc. and
sorely have the people felt their seYerity.-
And'they have gulled the people until guilt
bllity has become absolutely uncurrent and
WIDELY unavailable.
But day Is breaking. Already are its light
and glittering flashes ofhope and consolation
cleaning across our peeuniary and political
horizon, and already do the plain unerring
signs ofthe times individually indicate that
the broad mantle of night will soon be swept
away thata eraofsunshine is fast BURSTING
upon US. The great Vest raises the loud
and long shout of REroRm, and the North.
echoes back REroRM!-the East takes M the
sound, and the South sends it back in loud
and cheering strains, while THE PEOPLE. an

abuses under which we sufer-reform the
administration of the Government. and MACE
themselves and the country where they were
before the fatal and Unfortunate era of exners

No kean, no Booth, no Forrest will your gaze

NO one who Shakspeare's heroes can portray,
With Us will tempt you TO prolong your stay

but Tor amusement, more than be repaid
And II, as we do ask, orr hearers kind,

Will DER orr souls her heavily light diffuse;
Then are our hearts assuT'd to gain from you,

Think on the humble prologue you BELIEVED;
