They found Government on purely simple

am at loss which most to admire or won
der at, the utter and abandoned impudence
and recklessness of this administration, or
the unutterable ignorance and stupidity of
their benighted followers. When jackson
came into Office we had no grinding Trait
between the trade Of the States; nor was
the Federal Government as now, the yeriest
beggar pt the foot Of Wall street.-We had
currency more Uniform and better liked
than gold and silver. We had a currency,
Gar better than any country OF kingdom ever
had before, and now what is it. and what ID
the character OF the Union, so far as trade is
connected? 1t has not the value, nor the
consistency, nor the adhesive quality Of a
rope Of sand. Why, the old continental
system, was infinitely preferable tothe pres.

jury, for under that system, we had no nigh

Of Office holders.

Who is this, that is to perfect these wonder
