"THE wisdom, impartiality and in.
dependency discovered in the appoint
ments co offices in the revenue, must
give general fatisfa&ion, and were it
possible that mankind could be univer.
fall, pleased, not a doubt or complaint
would be Ijiped— put prejudice and ,elf
out of the question, it must be ac.
knowledged on al) hands, that policy,
justice, and the publick good, have
never been more happily blended on
any similar oedafion.
Perhaps there is no people upon
earth better disposed to obey the laws,
than the citizens of the United States: ;
fl^rrafod jiify a^ the k';,je^= ;
conceiving that the laws framed by
those whom they depute for that pur
pose, are their own free a&, and seed
—and that violating the rules (hey
themfeira have adopted, is absurd,
dangerous, and pregnant with mif
cHef, confufion, and ruin ; bat ne^
verthelefs, poffeffing'the passions, pre
judices, and weaknesses, incident to
human nature —they fee the propriety
of appointing guardians and executors
of those laws ;every man ( herefo?e who
feels the force of those obligations
which should adnate good citizens,
will not only cheerfully submit to ev
ery salutary regulation, but will also
confider himfelt bound to aid the of
ficers of government in the difeharge
of their duty.
Every patriotic mind,from this mo
ment will have its attention turned to
the great objefts that prefect upon the
operation of the general government :
Revenue as has been juilly observed
is the N nerve of the system—our exilb
ence—bur publick faith, our honor,
reputation grid prosperity, essentially
depend upon a wife, a prompt and
faithful execution of the revenue laws.
—May^igilance ^ik the conduct of
the officers, and may H be as infamous
to defraud the revenue, #to rob a
church.
