is to be recovered by heavily increasing the
duties upon commerce, and totally with
drawing or shortening the period of credit.
Like a Leghorn trader, government is to
raise all it can from all kinds of banks, and
to pusli its paper upon every one that have
dealings with it. Through the- crooked
roads of embargo and aon-intercourse, we
find ourselves brought to the “old emrisioa”
of paper money. Let us also n member,
that to countenance and support this en
couragement to a general papee system.
Banks are increasing eo fast, that the pa
per mills will be compelled to work double
tides in ord*r to support them. Though
instead of renewing the charter of the Bank
of the United States, it is proposed by the
adarioietratton to found a new one with a
capital vastly enlarged, we have seen in
our own city, in the course of oae week,
four new banks In embryo and Struggling
to be cart led Into inttant life aad operation.
What ia the reason of this comcldenco be
tween the projects' of Individuals and the
general government F Th* community as
well a* the are becoming ex-
It was given uut some time ago, .that Mr.
Gallatin was about to produce another
financial statement, which would be at va
riance with his annual report. That state
ment has at length appeared, and will be
found in our column*. Far from retracing
any of his former facts *r observations, he
confirms them with new explanations. His
expedients are to reloan five millions and
an half of six per cent, stock; to borrow
from the Banksand individual* ; and tofo
sue pa pen monb r under the name of Trea
sury Notes, negotiable, bearing interest,
and payable in one year. The moral world
*ee*s to Lave turned completely round,
and to have rendered democracy giddy in
the revolution. Whether it w ill fall with
giddiness, remains tube proved. What do
we see f A profuse foliage of loans, taxes
and paper money is rftudy to sprout out of
a crabbed and sapless trunk, constituting a
phenomenon,' to be noted and admired as
another proof that wonders have not cease*
in modern time*. The revenue that is

and each is striving to sustain, itself by I
straining its credit. When both gppehr ** |
competitors for loans before thpßoerdol
Directors, It will require a great many iron
chests full of paper to send them away
without complaint.
Mr, Gallatin has said enough to prove I
that the sale of publick lands does not con
stitute the succedaneum for *'twenty years
war, which has been represented so proli
fick that arithmetick has scarcely the pow
er of enumerating the amount of its pro
dqce. Qq the contrary, be gives us to un
derstand, that the sale of lands is a source
of revenue, which however abundant, flows'
but sfovjfy, and that to increase th* cur
rent it would be necessary'so to alter the
laws that* settler* may be compelled into
the toils of speculators, instead of .pur
chasing upon credit the little farms they
want, immediately from government, as
cheap as he can who buys land by the town
ship. \
It appears that the treasury is in so ex
hausted a state that no increase of taxes
will relieve it from want, because they can
not come to its aid in time. Loans and an
(mission <f paper money must be resorted
to immediately, or it will stop payment.—
All the w|se and seasonable admonitions
given by this financier have been disregard
ed, till his best expedients have become im
practicable and useless, This is the neces
sary consequence of the “ no plan” man
ner of acting, whjrii in staring characters
of folly is bran4H<*pon the front of demo
cracy. In the annihilation of trade, the fee
bleness of government, the collisions of dif
ferent states, and the approaching substi
tution of paper money for the avails of a
solid and rich revenue, the present period
strikingly resembles that which preceded
the formation qf the federal constitution
Hence it is clearly proved, that the sudden
and universal prosperity which followed
its adoption, was the result of federal man
agement as well as of the salutary princi
ples of that instrument. For men have
been selected to carry it into effect, so in
competent and sb perniciously/inclined,
that what had formerly an Instantaneous
ly curative operation upon the national ca
lamities, has not been sufficient in their
handsto save us fram hjwlapse into et>ual-i
ly great evils of the same fatal nature.—
They who planned the constitution, and so
faithfully and successfully applied it to the
objects it contemplated, are capable of re
newing the blessings which it may be made
to produce ; and it remains for the people
to say wljen and whether they shall be
again called to serve them. But the change
must be made before it is too late. We are
so near to the lee shore, that unless the
ship is soon put about, we may be over
whelmed and dashed to pieces.

THE LIKENESS OF THINGS.
M4RZJVE INTaLUGENCJC.
The good ship Constitution was built in
the port of Philadelphia with Live Oak,
American growth, about 32 ydibs ago-*-
Some of her carpenters having been pre
viously employed ip the navy-yards of
■ France, were desirous of splicing in some
Gallick under timbers, but they were over
ruled by the master workman. Her first
master. Captain George, was an able, sea
man—he navigated her safely for eight
years; and although his crew frequently
wrangled, and sometimes even mutinied,
hcalways, when coming on deck, restored
them to order, and never failed to make
great voyages. In one voyage as he passed
by the coast of France, nearly half the sai
lors were very riotous, and imperiously de
manded that the ship should put into a
French port and there discharge her cat
go; but the master, wjio as well knew
human nature as seamanship* soon quieted
these clamours. But during this disturbance
the maleqontents, by jostling the helmsman
had caused the ship to deviate from her
destined course till they came, in sight of
breakers, where the seas ran tremendous
big*; then it was that Captain George
came on deck, and with virtuous indigna
tion gave peremptory orders to put the ship
about aftd to direct her in a course equi
distant from the ports of Calais and Dover.
Thisproduced wry faces and some hard
words from a few unquiet spirits; but the
venerable master thought more of saving
the ship than pleasing the crew. During
the eight years he was master, he com
manded respect to his flag in every quarter
oHhe globe, and greatly enriched his own
era. Having under hi* Inspection caused
the good ship Constitution to be refitted
and completely repaired in her htsU and
rigring, the weight of yean and thedesirt
of returning to the bosom of his family to
enjoy private life, induced him to resign
his command. J

O|d Aristides succeeded him-4o h|s
our be it spoken, he had done many service* ' I
to t|»e State ship; but hh ‘skill seemed ' I
rather to consist in the knowledge of what .. jjp®
were propur materials to build a ship I
and how to put the timbers together, that I
in navigating her. ,He certainly had tearitg ‘
the art well of national ihiphuiHhffr) fl
his marine geographical kltewOKhdl fl
taught him where the breakers antL ■
banks that render navigation dangerous <m I
the European coasts, lay. Aristides matt- 1
ned the ship with the same crew his pre- fl
dt cessor had; hut ha seemed to lack hfo
art of balancing and steering over heavy ' I
seas ;he would sometimes frown on *uh* " 1
men, whqee *ble services and good motive*,
deserved his applaua*. .and- thereby fop ’
their confidence. He however kept the 4
crew in kulerable order tHI the last v*yp£e, v
when a considerable part.bf his qrew hav- , I

old Aristides so took in and trimmed his |
sails to th* weather, that Us ship wa* be

Old Palinurus, *hp hud been * negro \|

cesfor. He had been I* France oh some I

man of projects ; he used often to retire I
from the unpleasant savory of the blacks 1
in sultry days to his philaspphy-room, wfter* 1 1
he amused himself with his microscope aft IJ
animalcule and small, creeping things, Ha /I
was not an expert seaman—most of theegi- / I
lots of C*ptain George refused to go with [
him ; the consequence was, that the great- 1 ']
er partddhis crew were raw hands. When \
Last iflflrance, Palinurus obtained a nee
dle for his sea-compass that would point to
the French coast io the same manner a* a !
common needle would point to th* north y\ ’J
pole. Pajinerua kept the command of th* \
ship for eight years. Although he tnaff* \
many discoveries he always made very bed \
voyages; notwithstanding he so mismaq- \
aged as to nearly bthak his owners, th*y \
persisted in sending him out, till he dis
covered and formally took possession of.Ufo
land of Louisiana in the name of his owners,
whore he found a monstrous Mountain pf
Salt, *which he could never get at. In the
last voyage he went to France and traded
with his old correspondents, of whom he
bought the Embargo, and brought it home*.
As it was a new kind of merchandise, at
first novelty end curiosity brought to th* ' -’j
owner’s wharves and ware-houses an im
mense crowd of purchasers, and the own
ers supposed they had made their fortune*,
but as the goods would not sell in the coun
try, the importer* with their customer* all
became insolvent together. By impfact)- ,
cable attempts end hard usage, Palinur** j
having so strained the good ship Constit*- . •
tion as to part her /timbers and make hpr
nearly a wreck, he laid herup iqpjtyp
dock to keep her from leaking—intending
after she was refitted to take another trfoj
but finding his popularity with hia crew U
th* wane, lie quit the ship to the command
of his maty, whose character and voyage*
in the ship we may possibly give an account
of in another paper.
