CONFUSION WORSE COMPOUNDED
The rabid politicians are all unconscously
committing suicide. Pursuing empty bawbles-
iilusoy messures--for their own especial graft
6cation, they have at length severed all ties o.
sympathy and confidence between themselye.
and the People. The People are suffering ant
ask relief. The politicians say it cannot bs

their respective candidates for the Presidency

from their subscribers which have to be dis

present condition of things. And they must

Hence we ask, what do the present signs of

But the confusion growing out of the cratic
course Of the politicians, is worse COMPOUNDED by
the great number of Presidential candidates
brought forward, and the puIseless indifference
OF the People as to who is or who is not to be
the man.
The present 'polilical movesn are conducted
exclusively by the politicians. And all their ar

steal hearty response from the People. The

and set up another. Thus they are at logger
heads.
The only remedy, should this Congress retire
without doing any thing is for the People TO send
hither more iractable servants. They are salts
