"E have reached an important crisis in our DO
~ hucal history. The two leading parties in our
country hitherto separated by broad lines either Of
prnclple or OF policy, differ now scarcely in any thing

formed Of a compound of "squatter soyeregntyp Of
graduation and of surrender to the States" in
which they lie, seems likely to withdraw the public
lands M irom the arena Of future party contests.

Other questions, of minor Importance, on which, at
different times the two prominent parties Of the

any theoretical practical importance between Wings
and Demecratsf We know of none; and if these
hitherto rival parties shall maintain their respective
