which will sti& at nothing to, embroil
the Democraes, and to deceive and mis- |
lead the peopl,. Unfortunately, too, there
are circumstasces which at FIRST sight
seem to afford plausible grounds for the
denunciations which these men level at
our party. Since the Inauguration of
President BUCHANAN the great nations
OF the world have undergone a crisis
and rcyulsion equal to any ever experi-
encsd. Commerce was FRUSTRATED; man
ufacturcs were seriously reduced; the
settlement ofinew lands was impeded;

to take advantage Of this fact TO excite
if they can, a blind and furious ,clamor
against US. Now, it is true that We have
one of the most capable men in the
country at the head of our financial and
fiscal department, and that in the Pres
