Living under good government we have confident hopes, as a people, of rifing, and taking an eminent (land among the nations of fucceeding in the great interefts of fecuriry in and property, and an impartial adminiftration of juftice and as individuals, of finding merit rewarded with honor, and abilities with profit. We have lately emerged from a long and arduous cotiflidt, in which, while we were taught ihe bleftines of peace, have been draining thofe fources of wealth, which, if much would probably have introduced luxury and effeminacy, which are fo fatal to the independence and happinefs of a people. During the druggie we became poor, bat were ftill ambitious and by the fruitful collifion of pride and poverty were (truck out thofe fparks of invention, which have been fo improving to arts and manufactures, that our ports are already hutting againft foreign merchandize. cah, twhich has flowed in fuch plentiful ftreams to foreign markets, will now be put into the pockets of the indubious poor and thofe evils, which have been fo long oppreflive to them, will be converted, into bUfiingj, and by giving them employment, will become their fup'po The method propofed for collecting a revenue by impoft will have a tendency to lighten the burthens of the poor, to give a check to luxury, and encouragement to induftry. It is complained by fome, that our government is too expenfive and numerous; but i( in the multitude of coun fellors there is ftfety." Let us not anticipate evils that are not, and probably never will be, real.

Our profpects are certainly good, and we have well grounded hopes, that, under the patronage of confederated wifdom, the good work, in which is begun our happinefs, will be continued and completed. And we may jprefume, with the favor of Providence, that we (ball be profper ous; that it will foon the triumphant and joyful acclamation of ever American, that where liberty and happinefs dwell, there is my Sept. ia; The Prefident of the United States has been pleafed to nominate, and by and with the advice and confent of the Senate, to appoint the Hon.
