We confess to the surprise we have felt in seeing

the defeated party have tried to force il upon the

this means, restoring credit, confidence, and with
them, prosperity In this psin, of view. the qucs

Of consideration. The new Administration has
the great and difficult task Of ferre,ing out abu-

of the Federal Government in respect to all fnan-
eial questions. II is due to the People and their
Interests, that this position should be taken with
out delay; and we very happy in saying tina,
hardly doubt remains but that President Hari- |
son will summon Congress to meet at the earliest
possible day.

Washington, says: "You truly state the great
"question with the Wings ought to be, how can

simply whether Mr.. Van Buren's administration

"a mere change OF men. As soon, therefore, as
