Their children mutt hereafter blulh, to think

That the famous Suppression Aft is unconstitu
tional, will indifpuißbly%ppear by a recurrence
to the following articles. In the Conflittnion of
Newhampihire it is declared, "That all men hare
certain natural, essential and inherent rights, a
,mong which are, the acquiring, pffefog and
protesting property, and >' That Government
is instituted for the common benefit, protec
tion and Jecurity of the WHOLE community, and
not for the private inters of any ONE man or
CLASS of men." " That retrofpcßive laws are
highly injurious, opprefae and upjaf, The Fed
eral Constitution provides, - r That no State Jhall
pass any ex post facto law, or law impairing the ob
ligation of contracts:' Let us tett the retraining
att by these articles.
The Stockholders of the N. H. Union Bank
were inveiled in the property of the materials and
accommodations, to the value of several thousand
dollars, neceflary to carry on the barking business,
and of no life for an, other purposes—They began
and profectred the bufjnefs, when there was no
law againd'it—Was not the a& then that fupvrefi
fed a business acknowledged to be lawful before
its passing, and which destroyed the property of
thole Hh> were n the prosecution of this business,
retrofpeCtive in its nature, and a violation of the
erable of the promiffor—ls not this impairing the
obligation of contracts ? Or is not a Contrast im
paired by being destroyed altogether ? Whea
confidcred as to its expediency, it appears Bill
more abominable. —That Ranks are encouraged
right of 06 acquiring and pofeffing property."
By this a&, a promifTory note given to the Di
rectors of New-Bank Shall not be valid or recov-
and dieth not. Let them, if they can be in
fenlible to those tortures ; let them, if they
can be callous to the shame of being the di
re&ions of public fccrn, and public pity ;
Yerftill, by that Liberty of the Press,
declared by the charter of our Rights to be
essential to the Security of Freedom, we can
CORRECT the evil ; and if we can, we
ought td, though we cannot, and wiffi not
to chaftice the authors. We can Lt the
people know those fafls. They know that
all Power was delegated by them, to be ex
crcifcd for their common interest benefit and
advantage, hor for them—arid when the*
know these fads, they will clafsthem among
public wrongs, for to know them, is to ab
hor them. They can withhold their fuf
frages from those fhifguided or unfaithful
servants, and substitute others, by whose de
cisions the injured and opprelfed will meet
relief if th<v cannot redress.
