| The Presidents Address has given the Fed
the blind staggers. They grope their way, like tn

publican sentiments of the Address-thc facts arr

From the Great Globe down, all are in doub, anC
tuouation. We never saw old gentleman 81
oeiogsed as our contemporary Of the Enquirer. On,
while he soaps President Tyler, and declares tina
"he almost cnves him"-then doubt crosses hin
and he draws the picture of what he calls ga proud
stern, firm Old Vrsinian," such rs Spencer Roane
or his own father, (Quere-whose tather1)-anc

himself into the arms fthe whssl" and in the next

dis paper OF yesterday presents an amusing med
ley. In one column, the President is represen' cd
as all that's bad, and his standing authority, the
N. Y. Herald is avouched for the flct:-in another
column, Just the reverse is maintained, and the same
authority is sdduced.
We are pleased with the following structures nm.
