Our contemporary mas certainly

circumstances, such changes would not be
favoTably received by any considerable
number of those who have given serious
attention TO the subject.

on this or any other subject will actually
be Injurious to any interest OF even afford
reasonable cause for alarm am quite sure
that they will be agreeably disappointed
What the country has right To expect is
strict economy IN the administration of
every department of tue Government, Just
and equal taxation for public puIposes, a
faithful observance of the limitations OF
the Constitution and scrupulous regard
for the rights and interests OF the great
bocy of the people In order that they may
be protected, as far as Congress has pow
er 10 protect them, against encroachments
from every direction. Whatever can be
done, under The circumstances surround p
ing us, TO meet this expectation ought TO
be done, in my judgment.
The above is the policy by which
CARLISLE will be governed. He has
