il has recently borne to me the tidings of
Pierce's election, and Scot's defeat; in re-
gard to which scarcely know which feeling
predominutcs, regret for the former, or Joy at
the latter. lave heard it remarked, that to
obtain correct idea Of either of the great
political parties, II was only necessary to read
their opponents papers. Aud really if that
be true test, of which nm not at present
disposed to doubt, they must both be ft for
nothing but to he rooted from the earth and
destroyed. 1t would be ludicrous, il il were
not too melancholy for mirth, to see what
arts nro used during political contest to bi-
rs the minds of the people ;--what chicnnc-
ry, what cxtcmporancous flshood, wllnt
dressing up and dsiorling Of facts, until the
original matter is so completely disguised, it
is scarcely recognizable, what efforts to
make white seem black, aud black white.

actions, il will stand recorded, that he met
the friends Of Freedom, or rather the cause

Greeley so completely dcifes Whiggery,
that his moral vision is thereby impaired,

OIL the side Of humanity, and his paper does,
or would if he were more consistent, do
much for reforms in general. He is, TO use
