STOCKBRIDGE, (Ma.) Nov. 17.
Bache's Aurora, received by the last mail, contains further abuse of the President, the late Secretary, and the present Secretary of the Treasury.
It is evident that the orbs of faction and anarchy are collecting their whole force, in order to make one desperate effort to overthrow the present government of our country. No pains are spared, no falsehoods untold, no suggestions (not even the most vile which total depravity can engender) are withheld, to endeavor to lessen the confidence of the people in WASHINGTON. One of Bache's writers insinuates that there is room for suspicion that the President took care to advance his pecuniary interest, while at the head of his fellow soldiers fighting in defence of America. The time cannot be far distant, when those who are endeavouring to level to the same standard of baseness with themselves men who enjoy the confidence of the great majority of the people, will either produce the way of prevalent villainy, or place the anarchists and disorganizers in a situation in which they will experience "a fearful looking for of the fiery indignation and vengeance" of America—and not only a looking for, but the hand of justice, with all its rigours, must light upon their guilty heads.
