THE STORM OF PERSONAL ABUSE.
Never -or seldom, very seldom, il ever did the
columns oftbe ever scurriious, la,e administration
but now opposition press, TEEN with SO much per-
sonal abuse Of The Wing Party, and Wing public
men as at present. IF Foreign nations credit what

pie are governed by the, greatest scamps among
them, and in the most rascay way,--ior. accord

Thus TOO, in the same vein, is the Secretary of
The Treasury assaulted. The Globe assures us, that
'Blddle's Bank" has bough, him up, and that he is
mortgaged to il body and soul, 10 such extent O.
