a Fill of Indictment.

TO ebullitions of indignation. Like iheil
English ancestry, they bear with suller
restiveness long term of mal-administra
ton. Our people have felt for eight long
years the CALLING yoke of party admins
trations--administrations which have de
liberately repudiated the platforms which
served the purpose of deceiving the coun.
try into supporting the respective candi-
dates who claimed to be exponents Of those
platforms. The people have seen their
country's flag insulted in their own waters
their countrymen abroad forced II APP
peal for protection to British consuls-
naturalized citizens, impressed by their
native princes, calling in vain upon the
Government for succor-all this, and more
the American people have Witnessed, until
shame aud Indignation have caused a gen
cral uprising against the corrupt and time
serving politicians who have abused their
trust and brought disgrace upon cbiyal-
ric and noble people.
Prominent among these administrations,
and chief in turpitude, stands that of James
Buchanan. Plant and tortuous, this man
has made trcachery and deceit pastime.
No ties could bind him to friend, where
policy dictated his sacrifice His appoint
ed officers, though executing written in
structlons, were deserted when popular
clamOr raised its voice against them. A
ready tool, agtators and traitors have
used him for their purpose. Smooth
tongued and plausible, he con entertain a
bitter hatred towards those who refuse u
submit to his dictation. With not 1.-THE
of Walpole's tact and skill, he has sigually
Numbered in his essay at Walponian prac-
tice, and has covered himself with the
loathing and contempt Of honorable men.
Re has pursued with unrclcnting animosi-
ty the most distinguished member of his
party, and turns out of Office any man who
dares 70 declare a preference for that emf
