struggle going on between progress and reaction, II
seems as though no power could be firmly seated, and
though only normal situation were stale OF per
petual anarchy.
From this unhappy condition proceeds, in my opinion,
The inef6ciencv oil which we are necessarily and odis
cminatey accused The remedy OF present Ills does
not lie in sagacous accusations and barren reproaches
but 1.-The contrary, in unanimous, perseverlng, ener

When The army was supposed TO Be DESTROYED and our
peace and Independence thereby exposed, have
