The horsing of public huilJisgs in the

picture of the social and political condition

.f some de.eription actually necessary._
The British Auierican League was thee
brought into existence. Its object was to
•,ggest remedies for the commercial de-
preesion which metal, -to allay the well
founded discontent whack prevailed --and to
resits% the demneratic tereleneiee of the
Government and people. How far the As-
sociation hare succeeded in carryiog out
these ohjecte we are hardly competes' to
decide; but it bre been very generally con-
ceded that the firs' meeting of the Comses-
:inn, which tot.k place at litog.tna, effect-
ed some real good; and held out bright
prom aes fur the future. The sewed meet-
