The Rockingham " Register" one of the
earliest and most consistent papers IA
vorlng REIMBURSEMENT says in its issue of
last Friday:
We are opposed therefore to further
agitation Of, or repeal Of. the Brokers Bill
at present. We believe that no good can
be accomplished now. The best interests
of the country, where no good can be &C
complished by contrary course require
rest from an angry and prOtracted contest.
AS friends Of good order therefore we say,
let the matter rest for the present.
We know that it will be urged that this
course will allow the funding under the
new law to become an accomplished fact.
But what better can now be done. Sup
pose we stop the funding and repeal the
law, who is left that either can or will in-
sure to US a certainty of something better!
We say let US hold fast to the small ad-
vantages We have already obtained. and If
in the future our burthens are found To be
too onerous, we can insist upo'. II settle-
ment which will again rel!eve US.
