ItisnoW written upon the land and upon

out al time, that the head Of the party who

But the departed party, badly as they are
defeated have not yet lost all favour with the
people. They have yet much strength, and
il theyrally their old forces into party, they
can change their ground al first so as to ape
pear less Objectionable for while. until they
can accumulate strength and perhaps yet

Popular rights never can be maintained
but BY a constant watchfulness Of the people.
But at the present time it is peculiarly the
high and holy duty Of every friend Of reform
70 keep his sword constantly girded upon his
thigh, his armour bright and himseIfin readi-
ness. From late indications it is most PrOba-
bic that the fragments Of the old defeated
party will gather themselves together. scour

and more fair promises 70 curry favour here

ministration. Then the people, one and all,
are called upon BY the value Of victory and
the worth Of our Institutions to stand firm
by their late achievement. Let no man be

old enemies and mark them. Let every
man know that the locofoco federalism that

for another struggle is the same locofoco Van
Burenisn that we lately scattered to the
winds. Their men are the same men, their
principles are the same principles, their here
sies are as damnabIe, their doctrines as de-
testable, their presses as prosiituted and their
demegogues as corrupt. If the high tone of
patriotism and honour and righteousness
