THE FALLEN DYNASTY,

F7E FALLEN 10y NASTY.
In few days the dynasty which has ruled this
country for twelve years expires. New men, new
measures, and an entire new policy will succeed to
the government The departing dynasty has been
fion 1t has torn down the National Bank, and as TAR
as it could the State Banks; It has torn down the
best currency that the world ever saw i has torn
down the credit of the government and of the States;
it has exhausted the revenues Of the country ii has
impaired the strict accountability and the high sense
of honor which heretofore had distinguished the Off
GERS of the government Tie whole course OF ma
tiona IegsIatea Of the last twelve years, has been
destructive. Institutions venerable and respected,
commanding the entire confidence the people, and
identified with the prosperity OF the country, have
been leveled bnt nothing has been proposed in their
places Nothing is left to mark the administration
but the ruins Of what it has destroyed No single
monument of its own creation remains, except the
Sub Treasury, and that we trust Is TO remain but
short time longer
The Treasury, which the administration received
abundant end OVERLOOKING, i leaves exhausted and
currency which II received the best in the world, it
leaves deranged and fluctuaing with the events of
every day. The public Offices which it found filed
with honest, capable and faithful servants it leaves
in the possession Of horde Of brawlng partisans
who have not the ability 10 perform the duties, il they
had the honesty to wish to; many Of whom are &c
knowledged defaulters, and who have been continu-
ed in place, long after their defalcations have been
known. 1t has wasted the army too upon war
with tribe of miserable savages which has cost
more than the war Of the Revolution, and which is at
it was on the day Of its commencement. II has al
lowed the Navy to decay, until 1t is entirely made
qaate to the protection OF our commerce, or the MAIN
tenance of our maritime rights; and without any
preparation or any adequate means OF defence i
leaves embrmled IN serious and threatening dlfli-
culties with the most powerful nation OF Europe
The decline of public and private morals which has
resulted from the policy Of the administration, cannot
be properly estimated. Large sums OF money have
been entrusted to irresponsible men, until defacation
and robbery have lost in public estimation, half their
atrociiy, by their frequency and their inpunity
Such is the condition in which the new administra-
ton comes into power pledged to the difficult task
of restoring the government to its original purity.
