The People Of New York are called to pass, in
their pending Election, on of the most Aagralt
and novel assumptions Of the omnipotence of Sliv-
cry. TIE evident calculation is, that the pecunlary
embarrassments and dstresses now prevailing will
render them blind and deaf TO any usurpation or
outrage that does not touch directly their individual
pockets Thus tunes like the present are naturally
seized upon to gain currency aud Endorsement for
the worst political doctrines and thereafter they
are claimed to have received the stamp of public
appreciation, and So 10 be no longer open to csvil.
