The history of the country-it5wilI disap-,

though it now "goes up like a rocket" az
the end of four years it will "come down
like stick" The time will come, when.
the measures proposed by Mr. Van Buren,
will be adopted as the only orrectpolicy
of the nation, and his patriotism and hon

time will come, when error shall fall be-

shall plant its standard permanently ON 'l,
the ruins of corporate power, "unaWed

There are some who are apt to look

and belligerent, it would then be known,
by fearful experience. what this union lis
