pant than ever under the especial Avoritism of the
Administration. The Free Sellers will be there in all
their glory, backed by the patronage Of the Gov

but Oh how fallen 10 rcproach, in their expiring
struggles, the Administration OF their own selection,
for their downfall 1t will bc the first meeting of the
factions afer the consunmation Of their alliance in
the late Presidential election, and what time Of il
they will have. Each wing Of the brotherhood are
already narshalling their forces and organizing fer
the contest. The Old Line Democracy, humbu -gcd
and cheated they have been, most outra-eouSly,

die hard. 1t is represented that they have pct:toncd
Gen Cass to become their leader in making war upon

lesson to profit by in future.
