4 Fourth Party.

There appears to be a disposition manifested by some
ambitious political astrants IN this county TO get up
tontth party. They may be known by their whining a

the evils human flesh heir tot has set IN OPP
position to another- has caused nei.bor-, and even
mcnb, the family discuss political sons
around the hearth stonc--t has disturbed whole settle
mcnts, and is about to bring devastation and ruin
upon the whole country. And these refy paiofic souls
will tell YOU with the o Marworm that Con,cn-

We admit that party organization may be ablsed and
what is there beneath the bright canopy above that
not That subservicncy which swallows up principle
that savh devotion party which induced the ocos Of
the north for the ration of Texas, when
of their life bespoke their better dgne be
opposed to it--that base dcserton of principle. which
claracte rzed the loco State Central Committee which de-
ciared in emphatic language that they would resist the
foul scheme OF annexation '.INTIi. DEArI. and then
doglke turned round the cdict of the Baltimore Com
