lent consumption The quacks, OF course proposing,
by various nosrums the disease the last OF which

Second Solomon suggests that it is the misplaced

unpopular. as fthe very prescription which il would
further recommend the face Of all Gen. Tayos solemn
pledges, was not one Of the principal causes of the
odium has occasoned Let profit, however. by the
hint we have received. The Republic talks of the
.misplaced clemency' OF the administration by which
we are to understand. that the policy is to be revived
and bloody prescription is to be renewed. II is the
murmung OF the distant thunder before the fatal bolt
will fall upon the heads OF its victims.

which the administration deserves for its violated pledges

more Immediately from the hand Of the new Auditor John
