extremely scarce. aud consequently col

Cocoa, was scarce and high.
The country was quIel-and since The

themselves more secure IN their persons

from his activity, aud the ample means
placed at bis disposal, il was generally
believed the war On that country would
soon be brought 10 close aud the Spa
niard, completely expelled.
The emigraiioa OF strangers, except
merchants and others engaged IN trade,
was very limited. Mechanics, such as
carpenters, blacksmiihs, halters, tsy lofs,
shoemakers, cabinet makers, &c. would
do well, particularly il they could take
with them steady and industrious appre0
tees, as in that country none are to be
procured.
General Rodrigue, Zorro filed the Of

reported be wished 10 retire. General
Soublette was in Caracas, and continued

THE CONSTITUTION.

There were some charitable politicians. who
inferred from the terms Of Mr. Adams's letter
10 Gen. Smytb, in the winter Of 1925. that
be- was decided friend to the PRINCIPLES on
which The Virginia School" has interpreted
the Federal CoHstitution--We confess we did
NOT admire the letter, because il nppeared to
US 10 be too much calculated for the meridian
of Virginia-and because we ceuId not be-
leve ifs author tn be the friend Of limited
construction Of the Constitution.
We did not expect. however, an immediate
opportunity OF confirming or correcting these
impressions. Mr.. Adams has kept himself
pretty much aioof from the election He has
certoinly, not very recently mingled in the
fray: and the dignity Of his department had
commanded the respect even of bis opponents
In some way or other, however, small pa
per has recently been published in Ohio (ber
opinions on The constitutiona,y of Roads and
Canals are different from those of Virginia.
and this lt'lr scrap Of paper casts a flood of
light or Mr.. AS views of the federal consti.

Of its authorized powers. deprive itself of Inc

be as wise as a creator who should undertake

These doctrines may be calculated for the

We shall not examine tbs opinion OF Mr.
