The course pursued by our government
for the last fourteen msn,hs, has excited the
surprise if not,he contempt OF all parties.
In their measures there has been neither
system nor energy. eEvsry.thing has gone
on at skies and srvens what was approved
by one branch Of the national councils was
rejected by another what was proposed
one day was Withdrawn the next, and no
measure was either, adopted or ,ejeeted
with. VT greater differences of oPia;oa and
more in, x,sicable confusion than was ever
before witnessed since the building Of Ba-
bel. Our sovernmen. in fact. through all
it, branches, has been perfect political
thesneme,er, en- which; the mercury hss
risen or fallen in exact coincidence with the
impulse impaired by foreign nations from
abroad, or domestic factions at home. Like
. worm upon the unignited end Of q
FIRE brand, we have crawled first 70 one side
to make oar escspe, then to another, then
back again to the place from which W
slartrd.- and we have, as though quite in
despair. relinquished all further eyer
,ien. set quietly down.. folded our hands,
upon our. bosons,, and are waiting with all
christian meekneas and humility FOX she,6re
TO consume us. =!
