who conducts the Western World, is aid

have lost the confidence of the peoples,
aud who have passed the vale aud sha

some of these men are before us they
are known 20 the public; aud one ofthem,
al this pa3ment occupies distinguished

individual, that Wood is Indebted for the

such an association ever did exist. OF
