The Litchfield County post., 1826-10-10

Gar As the agents Of each Government were
instructed. The British GOvernment has
now taken is course, in no hostile spirit,
but in the spirit Of commercial policy
Fixing so late day for the operation Of
the order, looks as If il was supposed some
change in the disposition of the United
States might allow of its revocation. 1t is
fortunate that, in this cOnjuncture, MIR.
GALLAFEN is on the spot. He is man
fully possessed of the merits of the ques-
ton, by being familiar with it, and Of the
views his Government.
That this measure of the British Gov
eminent is not measure of hostility, is
clear from the fac, that it is one which this
Government has, in pursuance of its own
policy, by its own act, adopted, and con-
tinued through 1918, 1919, and 1920, and
subsequently, relaxed to meet the advances
of the British Government The coquet-
ry, SO to speak, is now all on their side.
What the effect of this measure may be,
cannot be predicted at present, even should
it be persisted in, which we much doubt,
although the British Editors seem to con-
slider it as the first step in retraction ofthe
liberalized colonial policy of that country.
The worst that it can operate TO our COM
merce is to oblige us to resort to free ports
in the West Indies, to the disadvantage e.
quallv of the British owner and merchant
as of the American.-Nat.I Intel.
The New-York papers the last week were
principally filed with the daily report of the
trial Of Eckford, Swift, Barker, andmany 9TH
ers, for conspiracy to defraud Banks, insn-
rance Companies, and private individuals.
The ablest lawyers in the State are employed
by the different individuals accused; and their
whole object appears to be by exceptions, le-
gal maneuvres, and long "talks" to bully
Justice out Of her rights. 1t is ridiculous to
pretend that there has been no iniquity in the
transactions of certain moncylcss institutions
in that city. The only difference, as we con-
ceive, between the persons indicted, and many
like characters, who ought to be indicted, and
petty swim Tiers, is like Alexander and therob-
Der, one does business upon large, and the
other upon a small, scale. Men standing high
in the commercial world, or engaged in great
monied transactions, would not descend to
petty frauds to increase their wealth, but we
know of nothing in the constitution of our
