cannot now determine; but for the love we bear our
country, hope his administration will be better
than fears, than have to expect from
the character of the man. When he was candidate
for the surages Of the people, did hope that the
good sense and virtue Of our citizens would triumph
over the violence and noise which his supporters prn
cipally depended upon for his success, and we lent

shame that it is so, we may ask, why is it that SO
