in the United States in Fifty Years. 211 



stunning effects of the revulsion in 1839 were felt in full force, will 

 soon find no support from any considerable portion of the American 

 people. All men who have at once common sense and common 

 honesty, must see that " repudiation.'' if warranted by strict law, 

 would not be just ; and though it were just, would be neither libe- 

 ral nor wise. 



We confidently trust, then, that the cloud which now fearfully 

 overhangs a few States, and to the distant observer casts a shade 

 over their uncontaminated associates, will soon disappear, and 

 leave the path before us as bright and cheering as that it is our 

 pride to have passed over. 



THE END.
