We have before adverted 10 the wrongs imposed upon
The people, bv the leading OF both parties in Con-

pie WAL they stand aloot ard quietly snhmii to the
reckless couts OF political Gemagogues, who are capa
Die of sacrificing every noble principle TO subserve lie
interest of party: Tune will show.
More than SIX months have elapsed since Congress
convened and but ltle of consequence has been done
Members appear deaf 10 the cries OF the people III

we SAID above they haze consumed nearly the whole OF
these six months enGcavorng To Fix out President

the country.
1t is now the frs, Of June We have been here
SIX months and have not yet reached the most I'M
portant measures before us am aware OF the great
anxiety every where felt, 10 some action on the
par. Of Conrrcss calculated TO relieve the country
from liz present embarrassed and nearly ruined con-
dtion and while my opinions as 10 what these mea-
sutes ought To b., remain unchanged, regret To be
compelled to say that | bat little prospect Of
their success. Ii asked why unhesiiatng'y
answer that ii ~ because the Interests OF party are
looked to by leading men o! both parties, more than
the interests of tie suffering pcope, aud already pros
lra:cd country.
While party struggles can BE- made TO suLserve the
interests Of The country, they right and proper:
land that they sometimes do, have no doubt) but

people and act with reference 10 the ELEVATION OF
some favorie candidate for Tie Presidency, distress
ard upon Us WAN all their rah oil disastrous
consequences.
There is too much 10 fear, that We have AREA
dy reached such Il state Of things. On the one hand
are TO be found tose who refuse 10 adopt any measure
which - no, IN eNac, accordance with the policy Of
their ivorite Candidate aud the other hand these

medy is in tie hands Of the people Let them irown
town any and every attempt, on the part OF any man,
or his friends 10 agl;e the subject OF the next Pres

the interests Of the country properly regarded.
On the subject OF the Presidency, ] in common with
nv fellow. citizens have ny choice OF men, but while
see the country bee ding al every pore and those who

ptoner action on tie part &c the Legislative authorities
of The General and State Governments, should cnn-
sidcr myself The trust reposcd IN me if |
were prefer the service U! p;iy interests 10 that OF
my country.
There are one or two grea. and important measures,
the adoption Of which has been confidently looked for
the present session Of Congress, aud without winch
the country must continue To sntier but begin To
lear that our expectations will not he realized and il,
they are sot will he because of the ralnous effects of
party strife end the unycicing deerInation oi leading

/ do not believe we differ much 10 measures, if
We were no; under undue iniaeuce III support OF
men. And here uuhesa'ing'v say, shat never ey-
lect to see the country relieved Of lis present rmbar
