pEMAGoGUEs AND FACTIONS.

"Two factions drunk with enthusiasm, and head
ed by men Of tho most deperste ambition, desolated
France" Boiin6roka
Two factions, drunk with ianatcism, monoma-
MAC upon particular subject and headed by men
Of the most desperate ambition, are disturbing the
peace Of this country and keeping the people In a
constant state Of excitement, turmoil, agitation
aud illleeling towards each other, bordering on
evil war; which their leaders seem anxious to bring
about. In all ages in Greece, Rome, Holland,
France, and other nations, the people have ever
been the dupes and tools Of ambitious dcms-
gogues and In no nation more so than they nov
are in the United States. II is with shame that
we say this but truth and frankness compel us TO
make the humiliating acknowledgment TO the
world. The people Of the United States are no
exception to those Of all other Republics whose
wrecks lie scattered along the path Of history for
three thousand years back
May their I" Union and Liberty" be perpetual
and the reign Of demagogues transitory, sinking
into early and dishonorable insgn6cance, 10 give
place TO the influence of upright, honest able and
intelligent statesmen and patriots

rest some disorderly characters, accidentally shot
German The excitement was tremendous; five
thousand armed foreigners paraded the streets in
utter contempt Of law, breathing vengeance against
the police, and beating every American they met.

sisted of but few words, while her mistress
had still smaller stock of Katrine's vernacu-
