project in contemplation nigh. easily be ascer-
tanned by scrutinizing the conduct and movements
of the leading politicians in this City. One moment
we see the late State Printer and the Postmaster
arm in. arm, running up the avenue tina, leads
to the Capitol, apparently in high state of polti-
cal frenzy and then we see the much sLGndsreG
and abused Attorney General accompanied By
one OF the Editors OF the Atlas or by some other
members of the Royal Family also much eS-
cited, hurrying In the same direction These illus
trious gentlemen are followed by lesser stars in
the Democratic galaxy (per example the Old
