and ardor of my soul. We are defeated
at various points, only from want OF har'
mony and acton. no one can critically
examine the returns Of elections for the
last year, and not be convinced OF thus
There is nothing, then, to discourage dem'

The response to this announcement
from all parts Of tile country was Of that
hearty, feeling and enthusiastic charac-
ter, that made me fear that could not fill
the expections Of my democratic friends;
but judging from the laundering and
spitefulness Of our opponents, am cheer
ed with the hope that am yet able to do
service in the cause, and II is with the
greatest satisfaction thatl now announce

ports may have been industrlously circn

Two years ago the federalists had ma
jority in the Legislature, and in tie very |
face of law and obligations, deprived me OF
printing, which, until then, no party ever
disturbed. The Supreme Court granted
an injunction to stay their hlgh.handed
acts; but in defiance OF laws and courts,
they ordered The printing done at the Q flee
of their organ, in this city. This year the
democrats of the Senate being IN tie ma
jority, passed resolution giving such
printing as they had a constitutional con.
troll over me. And now, TO wreak their
vengeance and CRAFTY their spite, they
threaten TO dissolve tie State Govern,
ment, rather than pay for work done, aud
which they have appropriated to their own
nse.
