render any assistance that lies in my power towards carry•
ing out those objects, without reference to this party from
whence any of such proinnitione may emanate."

that a brisk trade is the best of all measures for restoring
quiet in this densely populated district. Business is MON
animated, buyers more numerous, and our merchants are
consequently in better spirits. Stocks are extremely low,
and therefore the increased activity in the demand mart
