J" II have reached an important crisis in our po
w litcal history. The two leading parties in oul
country hitherto separated by broad lines, either
principle Or policy, differ now scarcely in any thing

that is demanded by the most strenuous advocates o
protection to American Industry.
The distribution Of the proceeds Of the public lands
among the several States formerly claimed by one
party and the application Of those proceeds solely in
aid of the national Treasury as claimed by the other
party have both yslded 70 compromise Of these con-

sional aid, which political parties have hitherto
differed at different times has now become less ques-
ton Of principle than Of local and sectional contest
and it will doubtless be adjusted by the next Com

any theoretical practical importance between Wings

hitherto rival parties shall maintain their respective
organizations they will do so for the mere sake of the
spoils of Dosceri s35 5aN.
But new issues have arisen having no reference to

A cash capital, amply sufficient 70 commence and

influential gentiemcni and we are insured a daily

assurances that we cannot doubt we shall commence

pirc before our weekly list will be sweled 70 more
than one hundred thousand.
Our position at the scat OF the federal government
the centre Of our political system where all the rep
resentatyes OF the States and OF the people annually

vocacy OF the doctrines and policy OF this party sha
