1t is time Of sudden political changes, and

rush of the American Government towards
centfalzation,of power, is uucqualcd by any
thing i'll modern history. States arc becoming
counties of greater and moropowcrful State

of number Of subdivisions, conveniently made
for the administration of local affairs. but all
subject to the will of II central government, the
The old balance of power is destroyed, which
existed between the General Government and
other balance existing between the different
departments Of that General Government is
also overturned; so that thc Executive and

those Of the people of our District who have
exercised the right of suffrage for many years,

those who have voted in the past, owe it as
