thing before The election, and doing another aG-
Ter il, and said it was consistent onEv in dis
stimulation and hypocrisy. The great fault To-
be found with the Administration by Pts friends.
is lis forbearance 10 do acts of common Justice
in restoring the prescribed Wings. OF the
numerous cases that occurred in this CITY. oDlv
one has been brought back, and that was wrunp
from importuning, rather than granted from a
sense Of justice This cold and ungracious
