,oh measures. but II ever there was OIL uho'
..n.te rpnuest this is one--it seems indeed mere
,;hle that it should proceed from the friends Of
4. nrssent cabinet. What are the measures by
which this Administration is to be judged
We will not particularly note the iirst acts,
.bose which gave it existence, which have " damn
i \ 10 eternal fame,'' the bargains &c. We will
,.,;o with Binns' forgeries, and coffin handbils.
These deserve very conspicuous place among the
,he measures and practices of the Administration.

uents this practice has been adopted with the
,,,st ol;ous features. Table oratlons, barbecue
sneeches-war, famine and pestilence prayers and
4 ohony toasts mark the course together with CO.
nious distribution of Binns' forgerics aud coffin
land bills, and slanderous pamphlets thrown from
the windows Of Il travelling coach.
10 these may be added iniquitous courts mar

because he had spirit and integrity enough to re-
sent the injuries inflicted on the commerce Of his
country which injuries have since been repeated
with additional aggriyations. so that now the coun
try is in danger Of being involved in war. The
loss Of the British West India trade whereby the
price of corn has fallen, and molasses advanced -
The loss of the French West India Trade, which
was offered upon terms of reciprocity, but MIR
Clay was eectioncering and had not time to at.

ceptance has expired.
10 these practices, and measures Of the Admin
istraton we shall hereafter make large additions
but at present we think enough s given, to show
that the friends Of Mr.. Adams are most unfortu-
nate in wishing to Judge the Administration By its
measures. This is the ground upon which the
people have been judging it from the moment o
its existence and it is the ground upon which they
will pronounce Judgment of ejcctment through
their ballot boxes next fall.
The coalitionists are not more unfortunate il
this request, to be Judged by their measures, thar
they are ridiculous and absurd in calling this 81
wise and yistuous administration" The commen

measures which we have given above, and It afte
