THE PRESIDENTS LETTER To

The Chief Magistrate who after deciding
great questions Of publicpolicy In his oflci4l
capacity ventures to lay By the robes Of
office and the pgerogatiye Of his position, and
standing only upon his integrity and ability
as man, undertakes to defend his course
before the people, and In degree to convert
them TO his views, certainly combines re-
mnrkable contempt for official precedent
with living faith in the soundness Of his
position and a democratic Willingness to
trust all to the people to Whom he thus ap.

ENORMOUS 1MPoRTAT1oSs.-SpIte Of the
continuance Of the most gigantic war the
world has ever witnessed, spite of our heavy
taxation, the high price Of gold and conse-
qucnt depreciation Of currency, our importa-
tions Of foreign luxurics surpass all precedent.
Silks, eatins, 1aces and rich goods of such d
description Us to be termed mere luxuries are
more generally used now than at any previous
date In our history, as mny be witnessed at
the Opera, the theaters, the churches, and in
The streets, where we find the ladies trailing
through the dust and mud with the richest
and most expensive dresses. 4 spiritof un-
bounded e1travagance is displayed, which
gives rise to the largely increased lmporta-
tions ofgoods and expectation Of gold. The
result Of 1t all viii doubtless be apparent by
and By. Look out for breakers.
