friends othis youth and manhood loved him with
a brothers love. His manly heart was The home

UNION AND CANCELLATION.

The Wings built their hopes Of success last

not see, how the very sense OF the danger TO
which we were exposed struck out the proper re-

obtained one OF The most glorious political yicto.
ries which was ever achieved Be assured, the
same scene will again be exhibited. The Wings
again boast Of their union and invincibility.-
They arc determined 10 put us down, and we be-
leve in their good wishes for this purpose. But
under such circumstances. We cannot afford to d-

stronger together The Republican party are not
the slaves and will not consent 10 be the victims
of the great men The people will take their
cause, if necessary, into their hands, and the De-
mocracy will prove stronger than those who
would aspire 10 be its leaders.
But the administration Of Mr. Polk will con-
tribute 10 heal any apparent divisions. He was
elected by the great body of the People. All our
distinguished men united upon him, it is true; and
they deserve great credit for the magnanimity and
energy, which they have displayed during the ar
duous contest. But, after all il was principally
the achievement Of the People themselves. Mr.
Polk, therefore, goes into power pledged 10 no
