a good audience out to hear them last

aud he clearly showed the great benefits
the nation had derived by the Republi-
can policy of fostering its varied inter-
ests by protection. MIR. Cary briefly and
in fOrcible manner, reviewed the
measures adopted by the Republicans
during the last congress, and showed
cOnclusivelv that the party was on the
right side every time, while the only
policy the Democracy had was to oppose
any measures INTRODUCED by Republic
cans, no matter how meritOrious.
