What materials have they left to rebuild The
glorious structure demolished By them2
They have plundered the national Golfers Of
the last dollar. They have reduced the ma
tional resources To the sslast crust They
have plunged us, BY their taneness and inn
becility with foreign Powers, to the verge Of
q war with the most powerful nation ia the
world They have suffered the Notifications
and defences of the country 70 become mas
ses Of neglected ruins They have wasted
the strength, broken.the spirit, and ihinned
the ranks Of our gallant little army, in a pro-
figate, inglorious, and disgraceful contest
with the Seminoles. They have refused to
pass the necessary acts Of Congress to raise
men and money for the defence Of the coun-
try against foreign aggression for single
day. They have involved the nation in
debt: ruined the credit of the States: and
introduced fraud, peculatlon, and corruption
into every department of the public service.
Is it so much easier to rebuild than to pull
down, that the new Administration are cal
led on for a miraculous restoration Of gen
eral prosperity without a moments delay?
We are willing that that Administration
should be judged by its fruits. Great, her
culeanean as is the task which it has been
chosen to accomplish, we believe it will be
found equal to its discharge. We have no
fears that the just expectations Of the Peo-
pie will not be realized. Strong in the con
fdence of the country, strong in honesty of
purpose, and dOubly strong in the enlighten-
ed patriotism by which it is distinguished
the Administration to which the destinies of
the country have been committed stands in
no danger from the impotent attacks of its
adversaries. We have no fears that the hon
est and intelligent portion of the commune
ty look to it for too much. The people al
large fully comprehend the difficulties and
embarrassmentst to be encountered in retriev-
ing the country from the condition in which
protracted misrule and reckless proAigacy
have placed it. They duly appreciate the
magnitude of the reformation which is de
manded and the means and the time neces
sary to its accomplishment. They look for
ward with anxiety to its fulflment, but witt
a generous confidence in the agents who ar
to effect it, that no cIamor or rancorous in
vective can shake or diminish. The assault
lof the opposition presses are seen to be pre-
mature, grOundless, and appreciated. The
strike too soon.

The unexpected demise of Gen. Harrison
has drawn from all parties and from all
classes, in the United States, feryent trib-
utes of respect to his memory. All the
American journals, of whatever shade of
arty politics, admit the honor, the devoted
patriotism and the sterling integrity which
marked his character. That much of public
virtue has departed with Gen. Harrison can
not be denied; that much is left behind, for
honor and the safety of the American Union,
we firmly believe. The political combat
which resulted in the election Of General
Harrison, was as strenuOusly fought as was
the memorable conflict between Adams and
Jefferson. Three millions of men recorded
their suffrages, yet there was neither rioj
nor sacrifice of human life; and when the
result was made known, the unsuccessful
party in the contest-a party hardly less
numerous and powerful than their antago
nits--fell back TRANQUILITY upon their various
avOcations in life aud returned peaceably &c
the performance of their duties as citizen:
and as subjects. That struggle Of this
description should be so conducted, and Sc
terminated, is alike honorable to American
character and American institutions. Ii au
ours favorably for the permanence of thei
