the hopes of the wings were deeply involved.
But to that great measure, so ardeniiy desired and
so long discussed, and which YVES calculated above
all Others to reanmaIe the parayzed energies Of
the country, he has interpOsed his veto, and for
SO doing, has assigned reasons which can be sat |

mind, of his political friends, he has been entang

object of this little knot of political tacticians is
to sow the seeds of dscord among the leading
members OF the wing party, and by bringing on
