decessor.' Even admitting this 10 be true, for the sake
oil argument aId il must be confessed that many Of the
acts OF thu present Administration exhibit a most bril-
liant and advantageous contrast with those of the last

heen uniformly laboring to disparage every measure Of
the present administration! Tire recovery of the West
India Trade. for example! Ithas been decried through
