safer having given England notice for the peace
able termination OF Joint occupancy, the hrst move

coed from her. Our government, dnrng the inter
mediate time from the passing OF notice TO the
expiration OF the prescribed twelve months, need but

zens in the far northwest. that time expire without
renewed negotiations, there VIII be occasion for
more active measures which, IL will be found, the
northern wings will be glad to second
"This question Of notice has absorbed the at
tenton Of Congress, 10 the exclusion OF all other
matter of national or individual interest. After It's
disposition by the House, the pscoliar measures of
the dominant party will be attended TO. Strongest
in importance, are the reduction OF the tariff and
the re-enaetnent Of the sub-treasury act-both In
tended as political movements, and equally ealcu-
lated TO affect injuriously, the interests OF the
country

liar, in its more important features, TO the bill Of
last session. lie viii append thereto propositio-

induces the opposition OF some Of the most saga
eious representatives and senators Of the East-an
opposition that, with proper alliances, may be sf
feetual TO defeat the bill

at is not presumable that the wings will make an
obstinate or strenuous opposition 10 the passage OF
either Of these two peed measures of the democrat

be LEFT for the people, awakened by their suferings
TO consciousness of THAR errors, TO discard the
servants who have been ignorant and careless oil
their duGes."
We believe that these democratic servants are
perfectly willing to lake the responsibility; and, in
fact iflhey failed to carry out the which
they were elected to accomplish, then, indeed, would
the people be willing TO discard them, because
they "have been ignorant and careless Of their du-
