future American Administration aud disputes our

United States cAiUs more than the British Se,re

nearing before it was signed. Brltish soldiers are
now encaInped part OF our territory which bears

the memory of Perry will always know how to defend

Has any European statesman been miscountng the
strength Of this tioO by substituting reminscence
of feeble moderation for the present efficient and
almost perfect org .nsm of the body polite Has any
