The following communication from a
gentleman acknowledged ability, who
has recently arrived from q tour through
the West Indies, gives a statement Of facts
by no means exaggerated and perhaps
some of the northern fanatics may derive
some advantage from ateareful perusal Of
the article.
THE RUIN OF THE BRITISH WEST

That the present state o~fdesolati0n and

THE LAST VETO.

the bill (the Presidents objections not

guilty Of such conduct. But we are sorry
that the desire ofthe town council, to estab-
