into power. BY what means we will not stoT to tell.
Their President had scarcely been installed, before he
was called away to render up his accounts in another
world. Another succeeded him. What he is no,o, we
know not but have every reason to fear that he will be

an Extra session of Congress has been called and is
now in session. For what purpose 297 members of

break through the Compromise Act of 49, and enforce
High TaIiff; to give away the Public lands among

the already bare backs ofthe American people, aid

Let us spread abroad the light Of TRUTH and sound de-
