A people who have become SO infatuated with
party, that the crimes and the faults of their lead
ers are entirely overlooked, whilst their great
material and industrial interests arc sacrificed
and the people impoverished by their folly, are
certainly entitled to but little sympathy, when
overtaken by the miseries entailed upon them BY
their thoughtless and indiscreet votes. Rivers of
blood have been shed, and millions of untold
crimes have been committed, in ths name and
igiOn and lberty--so the great besetting sins Of
public theft, slavery extension and national folly,
are now sustained and defended under the popu-
lar but abused name of dem0cracY. 4a4 )
