two on the actual condition of aairs But first will
sketch very briefly few of the events which have led
to the present extraordinary excitement And at the
head Of them shall place the construction fortif

people in subsection; and they have an eror
nous expense, and thereby exhausted public trea
sury they have brought double burden upon the Pai
siansone touching their pockets the other their poll
