we shudder at the idea Of general reform such as
the wings have concocted, and have commenced in
The present political contest. They have eyinccd
already too great disposition to pander to the false
appetite Of people that are intoxica ed--inoxicated
with that syren word Speculation" -and what ap-
pears BY far the most omnous symptom, that The

or them with cold malignant calumny, and associate
them with every thing that lalsehood can make
odous. Even our glorious constitution itself ad-
mired by philosophers, lauded by the greatest and
best men, envled by the world is treated as a rotten
mock, fit only to be displaced at any moment to suit
party purposes. Its against such party that we
lave TO contend. Democrats we must 90 forth TO

And dashes its fury TO air;

with hearts for the conflict, but not for despair
The morn bcheH the battle strife

The deed Of Daring DONE!
