I"E have reached an important crisis in our pe-
wv litlcal history. The two leading parties In our
country, hitherto separated BY broad hnes either Of
rlnspe or y policy, differ now scarcely in any thing
ference betwssn rival parties, has no advocates
Iy0foftce idrF for the sake Of protection which
once divided parties and distracted our National Coun

lands from the arena of future party contests.
The hap,eeapeatof Of hdy5ors and ,igeg by congress

differed at different times, has now become less ques

and it will doubtless be adjusted.b the next Com

Other questions Of minor importance, on which, at
different times the two prominent parties Of the cou
Try disagreed have now BY change Of circumstances
become obsolete. What, then, remain as issues Of
any theoretical or practical Importance between Wings
and Demecratss We know of none; and If these
hitherto rival parties shall maintain their respective
organizations, they will do SO for the sake Of the
sposts Of poiuo!
But new issues have arisen, having no reference to
the party organizations Of Wings and Democrats
