one year past, should admonish the admins

lead to the depletion and ruin of the country
even though it may stagger awhile longer
vnder its financial burdens and this too al
hough Mr. Lincoln enunciatcd the absuvdty
that the country is more proSI erous and
pop1lous lhan it was when the war began

willing to abandon his errors and make I'm

that the whole tribe Of abolition malignants
and fanatics, would abandon him and raise
such aaoiher how as has never been heard
since Lucjcr and his hosts were driven head
long OUT Of Haven. We can now only hope that
some providence might intervene and save
the nation from destruction. As to the pow

as,Junius sad OF Lord Mansfield, that the
laws they make, and most affect to admire,
are those that were passed at the decline of a
great nation, AMI contributed most to its
downfall.
