Whatever may be the direct issue of the present

change that is taking place in the character of our
government. The numerous offfrS of troops from
governors and communities in the Interests of both

armed hostility to branch of the Government and
in the service of the otherplanly show that the old

dressing grievances is fast pas:s away and reliance
upon the shorter and more decisive political resoIver,

may pass away with it, but who can doubt that future
complications, which may arse, will be arbitrated bv

that we are on the verge of important change
