his cohort, attended n Democratic Convention in

of the meeting. The resolutions adopted by
that Convention were regarded "a an admins

Government are to quit their bureaus to conduct
public meetings in favor of the power that has
appointed them, how can we expect an impar al
opinion of public atfairsl Has any one ever seen

No. Under system of espionage and resiric-

We apprehend little from the action of the of
fee holders. Ii is done to enhance their own
claims upon the administration, not with the ex-
pcctaton ;hat it will effect any political result
Mr.. Tyler tried the same thing. He banded
thd office holders, they banded themselves to
effect insurance if possible upon their salaries
But neither circulars conventions could Sc
cure him the nomination or save them from their
destiny.
We do not, then, apprehend much from the
combination of Office holders, for any attempt up
on the part of the Government To dictate to- or
rebuke the American people, will always animate
an opposition far more injurious than the inhu-

the viruence G the cholera which recently
prevailed at that place'is without precedent
