that all the ills that have befallsn the coun-

by that gentleman. They regard him with
as much horror, as if he were the yeritable
Mephistophiles himself. Now, we have al
ways found il to be a just rule, to elevate
our opinion Of public man, in proportion
as he is vilihed by his opponents. Mr.. Pen

his detraetors in Pittsburg, that their shafts
are sped in vain.
