gencies, their confidence was mistaken. Upon his
sound republican principles they placed the same reli-
ance. They were not surprised, therefore when his
veto was i~nterpoScd 10 arrest tho progress o. cons;ruc-
tive power, aud to maintain inviolaie the reserved rights
OF the state. But in the pronptness with which he
has made himself familiar with the foreign interests of
the country, and insanity resolved on the most Judi

the constitutional powers Of the Goyernm, mt, he has
eAhlohed a degree OF practical wisdom whi h could
not have been anticipated by those, Whosc knowledge
OF HIN was almost entirely derived from his military
services.
