THE WEST INDIA TRADE.
inc ihteiiigencer professes to be much shocked at the Joy manifested Ii, some Hof the Republican presses, on account Iof the successful arrangement of the West Indian trade, and expresses q hope that the articles upon this subject will never reach Europe. We are of that class of observers who see Ill this ar- rangement the highest causes for grat lheatlon, gratlfcation much beyond the pecunlary advantages to he derived from the trade. Wesee in the success tul arrangement of this question, strlk- ing proof that the British Cabinet were we'll apprised of the difference between an administration obtaining tempofa- fy power, by bargain, intrigue, and cor ruptlon, and an administration sustained by the unbought suffrages of the peo- pie. MT. Adams was minority Presi- dent; he was not sustained by the voice Of the American people, and he dared not assume the language, or recommend the measures ofretaliation which would have made it the interest of Great Brit ain to concede the direct trade to us. on terms of reciprocity. Mr. Adams had lost the trade by asking too much. He afterwards used humiliating entrea- ty 10 regain it, upon terms which he had rejected. He was tsoaee told that Great

 Britain assumed the right of regulating all intercourse with her colonies: and Great Britain twice refused to say what she would do in. case the American Government would repeal her laws in relation to the trade. Why was this? Great Britain knew that MT. Adams could notcommand the confidence or the support Of the American people. She knew that he had obtained his station by a violation of the fundamental principle ot our institutions--a solemn regard for the will of the people. She waited

 to6ee what would be the result. The advocates of liberty in Europe and in the United States, foretold that the c. lection Of 1928 would demonstrate the force of our free institutions, and the virtue and intelligence of our people.-- The elections came, and Mir. Adams

 was hurled from office, and our institu- | iions Purged from the foul blot of 1895. kiiere Is the secret of our suecess.- Great Britain was told, and she knew that we asked for nothing which was not right, and would submit to nothing which was wrong. She saw that our representative understood the interests of botA countries, and she was made to

 know and feel that she had nothing to hope but ln concession.

 The instructions to our Ministers, and their correspondence with the powers towhom they are accredited, will prove

 that our interests are ably and faithful y represented at home and abroad but

 the secret of our success Is in the char

 acter of our Chief Magistrate, and the

 energy which the confidence of his con

 stituents has imparted to his measures.

 These truths must force another re1ec-

 ton on the mind of every citizen. What

 man who loves his country, would, un-

 der such circumstances, and at crisis

 like this, be found in opposition to such

 an administration?
