The hostility Of the administration 10 indus

the administration are not cliargeable with the
evils we suffer
For twelve wears they have had decided
maIorites in Congress and the measures that
brought ruin and distress upon us are theirs
and theirs alone. The sub-,reasury and the
militia bill are artful attempts to control the
power OF the nation. The union Of the purse
and sword are said To he the definition of tyr

nately be adopted, not only will the power of
the states be annihiated, but the whole power
ofthe nation be subjected to the control of one
man. il our fathers resisted triniug tax be-
cause they saw iT it the elements of an unaw-
full control, how much more should we resist
this bold attempt to establish dnspotism in
the consolidation of the whole power OF the ma
ton.

log cabins in town, and the number of latches
uplited, ask leave to report, that they attended
to the duties assigned them, aud find the whole
ductious of the country-pine and spruce, bark
