are replete with evidences of a condiV
tion of constantly increasing prosperi

history of succeeding years is remar

of the political misfortunes which they
have brought upon us, ‘ The^e misfor
tunes have followed each other in rap-
id succession, and the efforts of i pa
triotism have proved unavailing tostay
their progress, or prevent their occur
rence.

desolating war was visible upon ouv
territory, from the mountains to the
