H 10 tf Il n L C04N asN - s nv ses fsr~s of things IS dark, gloomy and fearful. -- Not because Of the distress. do we say 1t for that the country can hive through, as si,c has before .leae--hnt because of the fierce spirit of feud and dissension which has grown mp, and is whitening the love of liberty and the spirit of Union. The sim pie facst the names .3gitatsonasts and .llla,nmsts are in common uae. IS sufficient to show this. It assimilates us to Ireland flor we, ike her, are torn with strife and turmoil. Strange events, wild doctrines, startling declarations, come upon us every day, with stunning force. The truth ean- not be disguised. The country IS not what it was ten years ago-a change has come over the spirits of the people. The signs of the times i'll the East are trul5 alarming. as .anciation and violence float on every breeze.

Committees of safely are formed, and we should not won- der if minute men were enrolled and held in readiness. Every thing portends dark storm and fearful struggle. tmay not come, but preparations So fearful seldom end in nothing, and one drop of blood will be as momentous in it's consequences, as fhe first drop shed in the Revolution.
