their motto in the darkest hour Of their adversely,
and though the party has been for time disbandcd
and Us clements scattered far and WIDE the prnci
pies which animated it survive and indeed in,-
mortal Ii is something TO reflect upon with salts
faction when imbecility and folly characterize the
Government and madness rules the hour in the
councils Of the North, that had the policy of IT, ol
Whig party been adopted, the disasters and IT, Gu
