end doubt.
The signs of the times such that no one can ms
understand them ii is already put forth that an extra
session is be called for the purpose OF fastening upon
the nation Immediately some of the schemes OF the
fund-mongers The foreign capitalist and the reckless
and bankrupt Spectator already manifest beiiel ihal
the administration which commences OH The lth of
March is TO be theirs. and for their special benefit, in
stead of the people and the counrys We shall soon
see and hear and know. While the Wings are slowly
taking down the log cabins, and removing iheir eder
barrels, portion Of the more consderae ana rehecln9
appalled, at the vast responsibility wlich they nave
assumed and the progate manner IN when II IS 10 be
exercised provided the aspiring leaders can carry out
their views.
Mr. Wise, their most prominent leader in the House
Of Representatives, while lac claims that ne IS sup
porter of General Harrison, has Indicated DIS uncom-
promising hostility to most Of the prominent measures,
which the more INSCRIPTIONS leaders have marked
GU; as the governing principles OF the ensuing ad-
minisraton. In doing il, he pays an involuntary
tribute to Mr.. Van Buren, whom he has so long ana
vigorously opposed. We are not surprised 10 sec
these exhibitions of love of country and OF right come
from what quarter they may and the day is not distant
when nearly the whole OF the American people will
be united in the expression OF an honest, patriotic
regard for Mr. Van Buren, and The measures OF his adj
ministration The grrat OF the people who sup
m.
have opposed him have been deceived regards the
merits Of the question involved in the late clection
and there is to be wonderful reaction one side or
the other, when the truth is disclosed, and the policy
and principles Of the coming administration are known
The honest portion OF his supporters declared before The
election and still repeat that Gen. Harrison must be
the "President Of the country, and not of party -
that these were and are their expectations Mr. WISE ana
others ayow But those who to be the managers
of Gen. Harrison, and who claim 10 speak oraculary
have already begun to hold different language DOC
trnes long since exploded and which the country Will
never sanclion-schemes the most demorazng and cor
rupt which subversve ofte Constitution and oil Tree
dom, have been preached and openly advocated-an
extra session sannounced as having been dccdfd upon
not by the counry-not by the Executive OF The coun-
try-not by the request OF either branch OF Congress-
or of single State Legislature, but by the Uhig Send
tors at dinner party But before the election these
Senator's who held secret dinner caucus, decar
ing to the people that Gen. Harrison would be "the
President of the country, and not of party. Move
ments are every where making also by the most violent
and most nnprnciped partzan demagogues TO pro-
cure the removals of ncumbents. Meetings have al
ready been called in some places TO nominate cand
dates for Office; and in our own city, papers were cir
cuated early as last December begging the appoint
ment of violent party hack to an office not yet vacant
and to make which vacant the President of the coun
try and not of party would be compelled TO break
the commission of the incumbent; act which, his
principal Secretary and "the cxpounder of the Con-
stuton," declares not only to be morally wrong, bnt
violation of the Constitution Similar scenes are ex-
hibed in various parts the country, though where
we believe in so dcbased and premature manner as
here in Hartford.
That these movements have shocked the moral sense
of some, and that others beginning 10 doubt does
not surprise We shall all be enabled to judge,
who the deceivers, and who the deceivedhow far
the coming Administration will be for the country
and how far for pcrty-the worst Of parties-he party
Of money and pririlege, against man and his rights
