political opponents in order that they MAY readily obtain
easy victory few led away BY dsappo;pt

conceived opiniops-and few unsuspecting honest
wings who have without weighing teresult been led into
the rapconstittte the disaectionts What is to he
effected by the movement The election Of an inener

been reached Is the amb and lion laying down 10
gether or has the lion yet been eating straw like
the ox' When these things shall have happened If in
our day. then these gentlemen who have themselves

but with the power placed in the hands of the Nayor Inv
the act of Consolidation. and placed there too by tho oh
stinacy of the vey man who heads this movement and
who would rob the wing party of certain and mportant
victory it is just impossible it would be to translate
