NJ A Peep at Parties.
EDITORS PATRIoT:-Being hindercd from my
out door labors by long desired blessing
from the clouds of heaven-a good rain-I
have run my eye over the political landscape,
and the following aspects are presented to
my vision:
Parties appear to be emerging, with clark
lanterns from befogged atmosphere, trying
to feel their way to some eminence where,
perehance, they may discover some star shin
ing through the universal mist. Whether,
since the .eruptions and descriptions, the thun-
ders and lightnings of caucuses and conven-
tfons. we are once more TO be blessed with a
clear and genial political day, remains to be
seen. No doubt the disruption of the demo-
cratic party has done much to reveal the
heterogeneous mass, the relative positions.

that harmony and peace can never be re-

success upon the tact and integrity of the

Mount Vernon. They observe, in coming
together, solemn silence upon questions

but the natural consequence of that abiding

heart in all ages.
II appears to me that the greater the con-
