every thing Northern at a time VIXEN dis
cord rcirns supreme and the dissolution of
The greet nat,unal party of the Union seems
50 imminent aai inevitable 1T time
when our most trusted and prominent men
are taking counsel of faction and diScontent
and t,n"'ag aan,os which, from their age

nroper to. remind the South of what that
Northern Democracy which they are ma
king so much haste le repudatc, have done
