scanty earnings of but little comparative value
in the market or in the shop.. L2t them di-
minish by resolute and vigorous retrenchment
the magnitude of our public debt, which in
proportion as it is paid off will tind its way into tther
and more productive channels; diffasinp,- employ.

Then, and not till then, let them boast of having
secured tranquillity, or prefer their claims to grati-
tude and support.
