DEMOCRACY.

"MoDERN DEMOCRACY" appears to be on the

before her sister States, redeemed, regenerated

affairs, which, apparently, progressive in its char,

respecting the prosecution of their concerns. But
thIngs have been in a much worse predicament in
these United States. Our government for eIrh,
Or ten years past, have carried on vindiciye and
OBSTRUCTIVE war against the prosperity OF the cUun-
try. And the effects of this hostility towards the
highest and most important interests Of the com

IempOyments Of men. Trade has not only been
harrasSed and perpIeXnd, but it is almost destroyed
90 great has the change in this department of bust

iWPostS and duties on merchandise, INSTEAD of

me common wants of the Treasury, is in u great
measure exhausted and altogether insufficient for
It's daily necessities. Hence the constant resort OF
