ming to assume gloomy aspect Our foreign rela-
tons are well calculated to lessen confidence and
check enterprise. The money market is not only
becoming tight, but seriously SO. This is the sea-
son for activity, but there is dead weight upon
commercial operations, and many Of those who cal
culated upon large spring business are becoming
alarmed at the prospect before them.

not to pay for our imports Are not our exports
insufficient to meet the demand Or, in other
wd4ds, have we not imported more than we have
exported or can export unless great sacrifice il
msson exports Whist be the effect OF tis demani
for specie ship If continues loss Of confidence, which
is but one step from panic Here will pause, only adding
that The party power doing mischief than they
be made believe but which unless they change their policy
they will feel Let them plunge the country into war,
and their labors will have been completed.

ceeded from Albany the place meeting, he says speaking
If
with hired ruans. Going out they frequently passed bottles
Of liquor from hand hand Most Of them armed with
clubs, and they had with them also bulldogs led with hal
ters." The old Hunkers ii appears assembled in
upper another part of Mr. Clarks tavern. They
had only temporarily organized when gang of uians fresh
from their employers rushed into the room armed with clubs
and knives, breaking the door from its hinges :
Greyhaired knocked down with clubs and with
broken pieces of furniture. Lawrence Van Drycn
knocked down and stamped upon and three Of his teeth
knocked He greatly injured and reported that
he died last night Of his wounds"

doubt is substantially The class Of men, under
the control Of similar leaders, have frequently performed in this
city, limited extent the like antics at Wing meetings

drcgs.
