the other side had been accustomed TO refer TO
the results Of the elections. He was sorry!the lie

ceiver General in his priyae account. Whatever
might be endorsed on the check they were both

the usage prior to the 4rh of Suly last.

the first under this Government, when PRINCIPLES
on The part ofthe dominant party were not de-.
claFed, when measures were not avowed, and
when men stood before the country, not to pro-
claim to the people their principles and meas .
